Honoring Each Other's Cultures - and Having Fun, Too!

One of the ways I encourage my clients to improve their physical health and also their happiness and peace of mind, is through creative projects.  Because I practice what I preach, I do it myself.  That's how I found myself reflecting so happily on the last group of wonderful Japanese clients who came to my Ashland center for a healing experience..... and I was drawn to expressing that connection through my creative art.  I grabbed some white and some bright red yarns (it looks purple here but that's my camera's fault), and made a trivet that looks like the Rising Sun Japanese flag. [A trivet is something that protects your kitchen counter from too-hot pots and serving dishes.]  Because I had more yarn, I created two additional trivets - one that is mostly white and one that is entirely red.  Every time I see those trivets, I am reminded of the wonderful energy of those clients/guests and I feel my heart filling with the energy of love and gratitude.


 

Another friend is French.  I crocheted his son a stuffed toy snake in striped red, white and blue, the French national colors.  I put photos of the snake on my Pinterest account [look under Soaring Dragon] and have an all-blue version here.  It reminds me of my funny, generous friend and once again my heart fills with gratitude for the path that brought me to this friendship.

It's axiomatic that spiritual people will decry "stuff."  This is just a reminder that too much stuff, or the pursuit of $$ so we can get more stuff will indeed NOT bring us happiness.  But the right stuff, or photos of the right stuff - the stuff that we create ourselves, and that are outpourings of our generous hearts and minds - because they remind us of love, is the genuine Right Stuff.

It's also fun to honor someone else's preferences and culture instead of trying to convert them to one's own.

I offer 30 minute Exploration Sessions for new potential clients who want to get from where they are to where they want to be.  For the kinds of barriers that I am most effective in demolishing, the transformation I can drive is absolutely amazing.  People like you have been freed from a lifetime of 50-pound emotional packs they never knew they were lugging.  Trauma is healed.  Habits and addictions like smoking and poor nutrition are overcome.  Lives are transformed.  If you have a problem that I am not certified in or prefer not to work with, I'll tell you, and recommend a good alternative.  I love to show people ways to save money through effective between-visit work.

It all starts with an email or phone call. We can do very powerful healing work in any time zone, via the wonders of videoconferencing!   victoria.leo.reiki@gmail.com   www.soaringdragon.biz   253-203-6676 (Pacific Time, normal working hours M-F, Sat occasionally)
