I believe that practicing compassion for ourselves and others is vital for healing. It's easy to show compassion to those we perceive as victims. It's harder to show compassion to those we see as perpetrators. The following prayer has been of great benefit to me in this area.

Kuan Yin's Prayer for the Abuser
 
To those who withhold refuge, I cradle you in safety at the core of my Being.
To those that cause a child to cry out, I grant you the freedom to express your own choked agony.
To those that inflict terror, I remind you that you shine with the purity of a thousand suns.
To those who would confine, suppress, or deny, I offer the limitless expanse of the sky.
To those who need to cut, slash, or burn, I remind you of the invincibility of Spring.
To those who cling and grasp, I promise more abundance than you could ever hold onto.
To those who vent their rage on small children, I return to you your deepest innocence.
To those who must frighten into submission, I hold you in the bosom of your original mother.
To those who cause agony to others, I give the gift of free flowing tears.
To those that deny another's right to be, I remind you that the angels sang in celebration of you on the day of your birth.
To those who see only division and separateness, I remind you that a part is born only by bisecting a whole.
For those who have forgotten the tender mercy of a mother's embrace, I send a gentle breeze to caress your brow.
To those who still feel somehow incomplete, I offer the perfect sanctity of this very moment.

The Akashic Records contain the record of every thought, word and deed of every Being who ever was, is or will be. The Akashic Records are not in a physical place. They are everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

They are governed by Beings called The Lords of the Akashic Records. These Beings give information to the Masters, Teachers and Loved Ones of the individuals who have requested a reading. This information is then given to the Akashic Records reader to be relayed to the individual.

The method I use to open an individual's Records is called the Pathway Prayer process. It is a sacred prayer that grants access to the journey of that particular Soul.

In the prayer I ask to see the individual in the Light of the Akashic Records. If I'm doing a reading for someone I've just met I have to warn them that I may look at them as though I love them. Because when I see them in that Light, I do. In the Light of the Akashic Records everything that Soul has thought or done is appropriate. I get to experience who they are on a Soul level. I see their perfection.

I never know precisely what's going to happen during a reading. There can be laughter or tears... sometimes both. Healing can occur, as well. Sometimes an individual gets some clarity regarding issues that have plagued them for many lifetimes.

Some past lives may pop up, but only if they relate to something that an individual is experiencing in this lifetime. This is always fascinating for me. I see excerpts of these lives so clearly that I can actually smell and feel what's going on.

I am so very grateful that I get to do this kind of work. I am humbled by the journey of each and every Soul I open the Records for. I hope they remember after their reading just how magnificent their entire journey has been. And I hope they take with them the Love that the Beings of the Akashic Records have for them.

Every time I open a Soul's Records my love for Humanity grows. I feel that if we could all see each other in that particular Light we would, indeed, be able to create Heaven on Earth.

Today is the day we set aside to honor the woman who is our Mother. For some, honoring the woman who lovingly guided them through their childhood and into their adulthood is easy. They have wonderful memories of laughter, warmth and a soft place to land when they fell.

Others, however, have to dig deep for pleasant memories of their Mother. Their childhood isn't a place they are comfortable revisiting. And sometimes, the woman who should have lovingly cared for them was unable to and couldn't be what the child needed her to be.

So, today, whatever type of Mother you had, take some time to honor her.

If you are in the category of having a wonderful Mother thank her for building a strong foundation that allowed you to traverse life's path knowing that you were always loved and wanted.

If your Mother was less than you would have her be, then thank her for making you a survivor who knows that you must rely on yourself to get through life's difficulties.

There is a school of thought that teaches that before we incarnate we choose the Mother best suited to guide us on our journey. I have a sense that if you really think about it you'll realize that you've chosen well ♥♥♥

Animals are very attracted to the Reconnective Healing frequencies. When I am out for a walk nearly every dog I encounter treats me as though I am their best friend. The biggest danger I encounter with a strange dog is that I may get licked to death. Sometimes their owners are mortified when their normally well-behaved pet gets excited and jumps all over me. I laughingly explain that this is how most dogs react to me. While petting my new friend I let the Reconnective Healing frequencies do their work. I figure if a furry being gets that close to me then it's appropriate to offer healing.

Spirit animals are attracted to the healing frequencies, as well. I've become accustomed to Totem animals and passed-on pets showing up for someone when they're having a Reconnective Healing or Reconnection. Quite frequently the Spirit pet shows me something that lets the client know it's them.

I was performing a Reconnection on a person and I felt a dog enter the room. Then I felt pressure against my leg as though he was leaning against it. It felt so real that for a few moments I was unable to move my leg because of the weight on it. When the client and I were discussing our experiences she was able to know exactly which of her passed-on pets visited. Through her tears she laughed about how this pet that weighed over a hundred pounds used to lean heavily against her leg.

Once, I was startled when I sensed a Grizzly Bear. For several long moments this bear just watched what I was doing. It turned out that the bear was that client's Totem animal. I've since encountered many Totem Animals. I pray that I don't have a client who has a mouse or rat as a Totem. I would hate to have to start screaming during a healing session or Reconnection.

Recently while performing a Reconnection I heard what I thought, at first,  was a Mourning Dove outside the window. That thought changed when I heard the bird's call loudly in my ears. When I related what happened to the client they revealed that they once had a pet dove with a very loud voice.

I sense the reason why the Spirit animals show up is to thank their people for taking such good care of them and to let them know that their energy is still around. It's usually a very emotional and healing experience for the client when it happens.

There are those who will be sceptical of what I have related here. That's okay, I was a sceptic, too. Until it started happening.
