Good morning, Beth.

Good morning, Melissa.

Welcome back.

Welcome back to YouTube. Oh, you've got your cards in your hands as well.

I've got cards in my hand. Do you know, it's interesting. I was actually just putting them away. So I've got the cosmic journal oracle back here and I thought I'll pull me a card for today. And the card said a light grows brighter only by lighting another.

Oh,

And

so true.

and that got me thinking about, okay, so clearly my message today is about inspiring. It's not about me. It's about what can I offer the world? But then I turn the deck over, which I like to do sometimes. And the bottom card is, it's really pretty, it's this kind of like purple y pink with a spiral swirl with a tongue coming out of it. Two bananas with rainbows that join the two banana skins. Really very random imagery. And it says, to be enlightened, lighten up.

like that.

I've got two things about lighting. So I started with that, okay, now I need my mission today, should I choose to accept it, is to bring inspiration to somebody else. And then this bottom card's don't forget you, have fun with it, be joyful and make sure it's your own. Joyful expression.

I love that. I love the imagery on that card. It's almost like they were very much coming from a soul inspired place when they created that, because who, who would think banana skins? And although we do think Sonia Mellon and things.

They definitely didn't go on AI and said, give me what

For lightening up, here you go, two bananas and a tongue sticking out.

I will do, I will stick a tongue out of a spiral and join them and join the rainbow by two bananas.

Love love. And it's so true, isn't it? When we shine our little or our big lights, depending on how we're feeling, the impact that can have on other people to illuminate the path for us and for others as well. So I love that. I love that message this morning. So I just pulled a card. I don't know if this card, did this card come out last week? I don't, I'm not sure, I can't remember. It's definitely come out in my week for somebody. We've got the healer card. Interesting. You have powerful, beautiful gifts. Have faith in your abilities. Stay true to your path as a healer, which is a beautiful message. And This is something that I've been thinking about personally for a while, but also has been highlighted more recently in the last couple of weeks. And we've talked previously about my journey to starting Reiki with you Mel as a teacher at the Holy Fire Reiki. And when I did that, and I think we might've talked about that at the time, or even in the sessions that we did there was no desire for me To create a brand new product or to be, to sell Reiki. It was more about how can I use Reiki to integrate it into my own life? How can I use it to add more depth to the work that I'm already doing in the world, just to enhance what I'm already doing and integrate that into my services and products, but not from a standalone Reiki product. And I think I've still been like, not being really focused on when am I going to use the Reiki. It's just more I know that it's there as a tool in the toolbox and that when the time presents itself, I will use it. And I was just saying before we jumped on this call that in the last week, I have used it in a very personal situation for a family member and I've been absolutely blown away. It's almost like I knew that I got this power cause I had the,

Achievement.

But I haven't yet used it because I think when you're not, when you're a business owner and you don't use a tool in a business sense, it's like you don't necessarily see the full benefits of what you're doing because you're not using it all the time when you use it on yourself. You can feel the benefits when you use a modality on somebody else and you see the benefits, that's really powerful. And it enhances that confidence that you have in delivering a service to somebody. But my intention was never to use it in that way. And so the first time that I have used it on the cat, I've used it around the home. I've used it on myself. But I've never physically used it on another person. And I have to say, I was absolutely blown away last week. In. The power of what Reiki was able to do, and it was undoubtedly Reiki yes, there was medicine involved, but just the transformation in 24 hours was just nothing less than miraculous.

Yeah. Amazing. Well done.

Amazing. So just a little bit of context about my dad's very poorly at the minute and he's in a, he's in respite care and he's very prone to chest infections, pneumonia, viruses, that kind of thing. And he was making really great progress. We were about two weeks away from coming home. He's been in hospital since. March, February, March time. So it's been, five months now. It's a long time to be out of the home. And he's never actually been in his home because he got his new bungalow and then he was whisked off to hospital. And he's so So wanted to get back into his, to this bungalow and we were so close to, we were two weeks away from coming home. He was starting to walk again. And again, this is another thing, he was told that he would never walk again and his determination to, to walk is just he's going to do it, And just within 24 hours, he got this infection and he's, he just deteriorating incredibly fast. And we were all incredibly worried. And I thought okay, we need to bring the big guns out now. I need to use my Reiki. I was, I always knew that at the time in which I was attuned and, When I decided to do it was it felt aligned. It felt like the right time to do it. And that is playing out even more now with what is happening in the timelines and everything. And I saw my dad the evening, the worst he'd been. It was like, he'd gone back maybe four months since we'd last seen him. I couldn't believe the deterioration. And I came home that night and I used the skills that you taught me. And just. Rakeage, if that's the word, I don't know what

So are you.

The verb is. And the next day when I went to see him, it was like a completely different person. The nurses, the healthcare workers were like, we can't believe John, how fast you have turned around. It was, I would say it was a miracle. It did feel like very much a miracle because it was. So close to a very different outcome. So I'm sharing that. I don't mind sharing that my personal story around that. I think it's important that I shine my light so that other people can hear this and maybe hear that they, Oh, maybe thinking about using Reiki or they've got the powers of Reiki, they've got the skill of Reiki and they're not maybe utilize it in a way that they could be using it because they're thinking, Oh, I only need to use Reiki for commercial. Things, I love that I've pulled the healing card out this morning because we all have powerful healing gifts and when we have faith in our ability, I think that was it. I think it was that, okay, you can do this, you've done this, you know what you're doing. Now it's just about you integrating this into yourself fully and just doing what comes up naturally. And staying true to my path as a healer in terms of that was very much my initial intention was staying true to that intention of just using it where it felt right to use it. And integrating it where it felt right to integrate it and not using it for the sake of I've got this. And I remember you telling that story of like when you first got attuned and you got these wonderful powers that you wanted to fix everybody. Like you saw the man with the broken leg and you're like, okay, Mel's here. And yeah, I love that story. So I always knew that it was going to be a very intentional use of it and it's just blown me away.

And it, there's so much there and because let's be Frank, whoever Frank is, but let's be Frank that it is quite unbelievable that we can have this attunement. We can learn some techniques and then we can not even be in the same room as somebody. We can actually not even be in the same country as somebody and we can still have this healing ability flow through us. It sounds nuts, let's be honest. And I remember when I first I had learned Reiki and again, I didn't have an intention of doing this as a living. It was something that I was just curious about and interested in and all of this and similar story. So my. Step grandad was in hospital at the time. He'd just had a hip operation and he was super grumpy about it. And he he was not happy and he was in a lot of pain and it was like it was really hot and he didn't trust the doctors and all these things were going on. And I was like, okay. Now I was obsessed with Reiki at this point. So I just done my Reiki too. I was like, I was pretty obsessed and I'd learned about this distant healing, but didn't really I don't know. I was the thoughts were out there. And I thought cause he was over two hours away. So I sat there and I thought about him and I drew the distance symbol and I did all the things that my teacher had taught me to do. And I imagined him in this bubble of health and I was just imagining like I had my hands on him. And I remember thinking, things coming through my mind, like it's okay. And now I didn't know that he was grumpy. I didn't know. All I knew is that he was recovering from this hip operation. And I was all these things were coming through my mind and it was like, it's okay. You can trust the doctors. You're going to get better. Like just they're all just there to help you all these things that I have no idea and they're moving through my brain. And then all of a sudden I got super dizzy. Okay. So dizzy and I like had to lie down and then that was the end of the Reiki treatment like Not long later. I can't remember minutes hours, but really soon after My grandma then called me like out the blue and I was like, oh, how's Brian? She said oh he's he's been really dizzy and I Really dizzy, feeling a bit faint, la, and I said, oh, okay I've sent him some Reiki, and she was like, oh, okay, again, she didn't really understand it. Anyway, the next day she messaged me, or later, even later on, she's like, Melissa, it's a miracle. So it's that word again, Melissa, it's a miracle. I was like, what happened? She said Brian woke up and he's feeling so much better. And she said, and the strangest thing is the doctors came in and he apologized to them for how grumpy he was. And he said, I know that you're just here to help me. And I was like, Oh my God. Like I told her that lot, like it was the exact words. And it was that, that gave me the confirmation that I needed that this that this works and that, that this psychic thing started to progress from there. But it is a miracle or is it a miracle. And since then I have dived into so much like you about. Power of the mind and visualization and what we believe in quantum physics and quantum mechanics and the power of prayer and the power of placebo and. The instances of raking and different other healing modalities that have assisted with this. And it goes to show that miracles are possible all of the time. What do we need? One is faith. How much faith did I have then? I was like that works. It works. Doesn't, it doesn't, I wanted it to work, but no but a faith and an intention and openness. Not even necessarily an expectation, I think an expectation can help, but an openness to a miracle, positive outcome, this or better. And, it is a miracle

Yeah. I think, I don't know if there is another word. I think it's, it is the right word. I think like you, for me, it was that confirmation that this is the tool that, you've been gifted and you can use. And I think it was that, it was faith, it was complete belief, it was that kind of, this has to work, the, that belief of, this has to work this is going to work, and having no doubt that it wasn't going to, and just fully believing in myself, and, The power of breaking the en the energy and just trusting. And yeah I do, yes, modern medicine was definitely involved and it played a massive part in that. I'm not disputing that, but it is a confirmation. There are things that, that happened that that you had a hand in that. And that I think is my dad definitely needed, but that is also what I needed as part of my Reiki journey. And when I had my attunement, my dad, and I think I mentioned this on the, my dad was part of that attunement. He was there in the, In that there was a family element to the attunement. And so it makes sense that my very first big reiki session was my dad. And I was getting imagery and words. And I was seeing my dad, how my dad wanted to see himself. Like I could see a very distinct eighties, Man, I was like, that's not you now, dad, but let's pretend this is you. Cause that's what makes you happy. That's what brings you joy. And I was seeing, imagery from his past that I had not been part of, but happy times and joyful times and things like that as I was doing the achievement. So it was a wonderful experience. And if anybody's thinking about doing Reiki, then definitely do. For whatever reason you want to do it, whatever that calling is.

because that is the thing. And this is how I teach Reiki. I'm very much like we, I will teach you how to become a practitioner, or even a teacher, but it's not that like for me, Reiki, the biggest gift about Reiki isn't that I've been able to take clients and do all of this.

Yeah.

That is a beautiful byproduct of it. The beautiful thing about Reiki is having this access to miracles in your hands. And this opening for me, it was this opening of if this is possible, what else is possible? And where have we been limiting ourselves? That if I'm sick, then I need this, I need, this pill or this intervention in order to get better. That, yes, it's not dismissing the pill or the intervention, but it's working with energetics of that. And if you're inclined to research the placebo effect, it's so fascinating how a belief around a medicine working or not working, the nocebo, how much of an influence it has, like crazy influence. In fact in some cases more than some prescribed drugs. They've seen better results with a placebo than something that is available in, or over the counter. And when you think about that, it must be the energetics that sit behind it. It's it's the only, it's the only explanation. And if you really want to go into it and you start looking at epigenetics and how the expression of us physically, the physical expression of us and our DNA. changes based on the outside circumstance. So for example, if a mother is in fear for whatever reason, while she's pregnant, if she's in fear, if she's scared because there's famine, because there's a war, because she's in a relationship that's not supported because she's in a stressful job, right? The hormones don't know why they're scared. The energy doesn't really know why it's scared. It just knows this isn't safe. Okay. Then the baby develops with a different expression. They might be they're often, they're more prone to being able to run. Yeah, this kind of athletic less power goes into the brain, more power goes into the body. We're seeing that more and more now with our children that they can't sit still. They can't focus. Maybe there's a genetic or an epigenetic factor going on there. So we've seen like they show that the energy that's surrounding the cells changes the expression of the cells. And that is true from a creation point of view, and a healing point of view, which, if we break it down, is a creation.

But it makes total sense, when we see similar character traits come through in generations, it makes sense that, that's not a coincidence that's, that for me is something energetically has gone on and that has been passed at a cellular level it makes absolute sense that we are seeing people of a certain way, which is absolutely fine. And this is where that. We are, this is where children are. But that it's come from somewhere. And you think about as well as our generation, I'm thinking about the energetics that would have been in our mother's wombs or even their, our grandmother's wombs and things like that as our own creation, and we're in our grandmothers, when we think about, our eggs, we are there when our grandmother is around And so we're part of that, we're always part of that. And so if you think about the generation that have come through the second world war, or even the first world war, and the impact that would have had. And then you see our generation, I don't know what generation we are. I always get my generations mixed up. Generation X,

I call myself a Xeniel, because I'm just right in that, I'm in that little cusp

okay. I don't know, I don't know

idea cusp.

are. the five year course. But it makes sense that I think we're more of a no nonsense like kind of generation and that makes sense when you've come from a generation that went, had to have that stiff upper lip and were, being, could see war and persecution and rationing and that and things like that and were taken away from their families. The, that you can see that play through in some of the traits that we have. And then, the cycle goes on. So I think it's really interesting, how the energetics move through generations.

And these things aren't fixed. Technically, if you're talking about our generation, our grandparents who went through the wars, and they weren't, they must have been terrified, the men went off, they didn't know.

Oh, it must've been terrible. Yeah.

And the rations and all of these things. And then that. Produced the next generation who then had to move through that. Now the consciousness was very different and the consciousness of the earth was very different then. And now here we are in our generation and it's we have these challenges where it's this kind of fear, lack competition, survival of the fittest, like all of that stuff is ingrained in us. Yet there seems to have been this awakening. We did see it in the 60s, 70s, we

Yes. Yeah.

all of a sudden here in the twenties, right? We are, there's so many of us like turning on and waking up to the potential of this, to the energetic, to the holistic, to the power of positive thinking. And some of that is due to science. But I believe a lot of that is due to the if you like the energetic. environment that we're now in. So the codings that are coming down from the sun, from the heavens, if that's what you believe from mother earth herself, that's them waking this stuff up. That's going, Hey, there is another way. And so the energy that surrounds ourselves is going. There's something different. And that can come out in two ways. That can come out in a, I'm going to cling on to the reality that I know to be true, that I am in lack, that these things don't happen to me, that blah, blah, blah. And so it will be or it comes into this, Oh, This new awakening, this new identity that starts to come through and come out, and there's no coincidence that we see the next generation of children that are coming up who have these certain characteristics that are coming online, one, and that we as the parents are open to other possibilities. And I for one am fascinated about where Go and how something like Reiki can, if we use it for what I believe it's for, which is as a life philosophy, with Reiki, we have these principles, just for today, I will not anger, just for today, I will not worry, just for today, I will be kind. Just for today, I will be honest. We start to live differently, we start to act differently, we start to approach things differently, and we start to see the energy first. And actually, the energy's easier to change than the physical. Which is what we see in medical. Here's my physical, I'm gonna match it with the physical. Yeah? Here's the problem. Take this. Do this. Have this. Physical. It's harder because the matter moves very slowly. But it's when we can flip it from the energetic level and see as you did the times of joy. See as you did the way that your dad knows himself to be.

Yeah.

potential is to be, and then like activate, plant that seed, that activation, that it's like you're turning something on that then the cells go, Oh, okay. I can be healthy. I can be enjoy. I can be safe. I can heal. Okay. Now I know what I need to do rather than, Oh, this means,

Yeah.

This happens. So therefore, because we are subject to other people's influence. Unfortunately, when we get ill, we become part of the statistics of this is what's expected.

That's really interesting because everybody when we were speaking to my brother and, other family members, everybody would be signing the message off with Oh let's hope. And I was thinking, I think that's a natural thing is like, Oh, let's hope that's the thing that most people would say. Let's hope like he's on the, he's on the turn kind of thing. But I was getting like. No, let's not hope this is how it's going to be, like we're not hoping my belief is so strong. I didn't say this to them, but I was thinking, but it's interesting to see how that energy of hopefulness, which is helpful, but it isn't full belief in something. And so I was called in that space for everybody going, okay, we're not just, we're not just being hopeful. This is how it's going to be, this is the belief that I have that is going to.

Which is, cause then they're like hold on a minute. If there's 10 people going, no, let's just help him out, but there's one person like, why is one in the 10? It doesn't make sense. Because the one person that's holding that vision in the knowing is holding a more coherent energy, hype goes up and down as like regular particle, right? And there's something called the frequency following response, that frequency goes to find the most coherent frequency. or the most stable frequency, which is why you can throw a crystal in a room and it can change the frequency. It's why you can play mantra in the room and it will change the frequency. It's why when you program water with intention, with crystal, with prayer, it changes the molecular structure of the water because it's looking for this frequency following response. And you holding that. So you building on that hope, the hope's helpful, right? It is.

It's definitely helpful. Yeah. And on the emotional guidance scale, it's on the way up, isn't it? It's on the way up to higher vibrating emotion. Everybody's hopefulness is a different level of hopefulness because it's based on experience and everything else.

And so if you can be the one this card that I pulled, your light grows brighter only by lighting another. If you can hold that thought, miracles can happen. What that miracle is actually not down to you because your in your case, your dad's soul is going to, he's gonna be the one that makes a decision. Ultimately, and I think what you were picking up was he'd made the decision. I'm this at bungalow and I'm all of this, which might have been discordant to the nurses and the whatever. And the statistic maybe, I don't know. So there's that. And when you're in it and you're poorly and you're not feeling good, it's quite hard to hold that. Cause then you're in pain and you feel sad. And, All these things going on. So can we influence every outcome? There's other factors involved. You, we aren't the center of everybody's universe. We're only the center of ours, but holding that coherence will change the energy around the person, the situation, the place, giving it a greater chance. So then go into its natural state, which is of creation. We, Create, like this rubbish they say that from the minute you're born, you're dying. Who's don't say that. Not true. From the minute you're born, you're creating and you're creating our cells are constantly replicating, constantly building a new body. We are, was the, from the moment we're conceived, we are creating. And actually, even when our body dies, we're still in a creation stage because we're moving into another realm of being and so having that coherence, which I think what Reiki does. Because you don't need Reiki to do this, you can do this with or without it. But what the Reiki does, is it pulls in from this, if you like, this source of creation. It gives you this direct channel, so it makes it that even through your own human doubts, which we have, even through our own human limitations, Programming's, what we believe to be true or not, the Reiki is that coherent energy, that consistent energy that can then take that and then be the bridge or the channel that then holds that as a reality. So you don't have to constantly be vigilant. And then you can move through your own emotions that, that goes through it.

It was that. It was that connection. It was that bridge because yes, I knew my dad wanted to get better, but until I was in that Reiki session, I didn't, I got that confirmation from him that he was like, he told me that, but also I could physically see him. a different sense and then making that connection and like you say once that process has been completed it's having that confidence to know that okay I've done what I can do and now it's in the hands of, whoever. But that Reiki is now vigilant. It's now doing the work while I'm no longer able, because I can't physically stay here and do this all day long, right? But there's something at work now. My dad set his intention, I set my intention, and this was, this is the outcome. I love your sermon.

Thank you. It's a really interesting topic and I encourage people to just sit with it and think if this is possible, what else could be possible? And, coming back to your comment of when I first learned Reiki and I'm like, come to me, I have the power. It's like that, that's the kind of. I'm not there anymore because I understand that everybody has their part. So it's not we can fall into this. Now I'm responsible for everything you're not, but for me, it gives me that sense of, okay I can do something when there's something going on. I can send prayers. I can offer this potential for healing energy and then trust that, if I look at the flip side, when my grandma passed. in 2020, and it was at a time where we couldn't go and see her. And so she was, she was all alone, which was what was breaking my heart. And I wasn't allowed to go. And so I was sending Reiki. Now I knew that she wasn't going to come out the other side. I still had hope that she would, but as I was sending Reiki with this kind of non attachment, knowing that the Reiki is going to help her, that was it. The images that started coming to me, then was when I tuned into her because we can also use Reiki to create this bridge to tune into what's happening. She felt quite scared. And as I was sending the Reiki, the energy just seemed to settle. And then I felt this real sense of peace and It was interesting because at the time I remember waking up it was really late at night and one of my kids had unsettled and I was putting him back to sleep. And then I thought of her and I'm sending this Reiki and I got this image of her parents who I didn't really remember. But I got really strong image of them. And Brian her partner, the one who'd had the hip operation who passed a few years ago, I had this real image of all of them surrounding her. And then I spoke to my mum and it was in that moment that she passed. And so Reiki didn't heal her in the way that is now she's fine and she's better and she's living because that's not what it's about. I'm not God. We're all an expression of God, but I can't be like, I want her to live so bad. So I'm going to make this happen with my Reiki. And if she doesn't, then Reiki's failed. No. Reiki provide the energetic hold point of that coherence of then, the highest possible outcome, which for her in that moment was, Was her then transitioning.

That's so powerful and such a great message that it has, that Reiki has so many different ways to, to support and help as we move through life. So thank you for sharing that as well.

I feel like we should put it on a happy note.

Where should we end? I think, we should continue to have more of the, as I continue on my journey and, you use Reiki and I think we should talk more about this in the future and I'm sure the time will present itself when that is to be the case.

I think a conversation around, because you mentioned at the beginning that you, you did Reiki not to create a product, but then how can we work with Reiki in our business when it's not, because I don't do Reiki sessions anymore. They're not something that I offer anymore, but Reiki still plays a massive part in my work.

Huh.

But in, in every day, somewhere, somehow every day Reiki is involved because it's such a, big part of me and it forms like a huge part of my energy body. And so maybe we can, if we could talk more, I'd love to know if the listeners have any questions, particularly on raking, we can weave that in, but how we can work with raking in our daily life and in our business life, not just. Here, let's do a session here. Let's help heal the sick because it is, that is like 5 percent of what we

Huh. I'm excited to continue on this journey and see what unfolds
