Sacred Samurai & Dragon 3/4 Sleeve Tattoo Design
Sacred Samurai and Dragon 3/4 Sleeve Tattoo Design – click on photo to enlarge
I just completed the first of three sacred tattoo designs I am in process of co-creating. These three new creations have been percolating the last couple of weeks, since my return from Bimini, as I have learned not to rush the process and that the perfect moment will reveal itself as to when the design can be channeled in its fullness.
These new designs are all being created with amazing male clients and each of these pieces are quite involved, large, and uniquely span Japanese, Native American Indian/Shamanistic, and African origins of essence. They are exciting to me because they feel to be symbolic representations of how each of my clients are empowering their Divine Female and Male into integration at this juncture on their life journey – a beautiful manifestation of the new energy we are in.
Interestingly, 2 of the clients live in South Africa and one has been traveling in South Africa. So they definitely feel energetically connected, despite their individual uniqueness.
Who knows…it may also be another confirming sign that Africa will be the next upcoming personal sacred journey (I have had a lot of Africa energy and connections taking place the last couple of years), as last year I had felt called there for this year, but the energy switched and Tibet came through, so hence I follow where I’m guided, as everything has a divine timing.
Regardless, I have been excited about these designs and today I share the first. The design is a large, just over 12″ long by 4 3/4″ wide, three quarter, left arm sleeve.
The focal points are the Samurai and the Japanese Dragon (Ryu). I added an extra boost of the element of water, based on what I intuited and my client shared, as well as interwove a very spiritually alchemical symbolism that holds much power for him in the celebration of essence he desired it to have.
For my client, the Samurai expresses the practices of discipline, respectfulness, loyalty and ethical behavior without fear – reminders symbolically to be able to face different and unexpected situations without fear and not to live in fear of loss.

I was drawn to depict a less armored Samurai than an example that I was shown by my client, still very traditional, yet for me and in resonance with the empowerment he was to symbolize. I felt this would represent moving into the courage in knowing all you have and need is within you, without the need to cover up and protect – a Samurai standing his ground, in the recognition of his power rather than in an angry fight. This symbolizing more of that Dragon Master or Magician essence that I speak about in my Reiki 2 classes where rather than fight something (although prepared for anything), you embrace its reflection as an aspect of you projected and when integrated back, creates wholeness and empowerment.
I added water designs all around the image to symbolize my client’s strong love for the ocean and to represent the ability to flow with the currents of life and be able to weather any experience by sailing through the ebbs and flows of the ocean energy with grace, rather than fighting it.
The Dragon, “Ryu,” rules the water and for my client represents obstacles humans face through life that must be overcome before enlightenment can be attained. So the Dragon represents much more than its literal depiction, but the many challenges, steps, surprises, obstacles, doorways one may experience on the journey of life. And how they are perceived and integrated can make all the difference.
Dragons are one of the four celestial animals and are more traditionally known to represent a very Yang energy of male vigor, courage, vitality, strength, and bravery. However, I feel the dragon to also possess a very mystical Yin energy, as a magickal being of cosmic forces. The Japanese dragon, which is what my client wanted designed, is much more slender and typically depicted as a large, wingless serpentine creature with 3 claws on each foot. Most Japanese dragons are water deities associated with large bodies of water and rainfall. Japanese dragons, interestingly, are a composite of nine different animals with chin whiskers.
- Deer – Horns
- Camel – Head
- Rabbit – Eyes
- Snake – Neck
- Cockle – Abdomen
- Carp – Scales
- Eagle – Claws
- Tiger – Paws
- Ox – Ears
I was drawn to design this beautiful dragon holding a ball, or “pearl of wisdom,” in its clawed foot. In reverence, Eastern dragons are sometimes shown holding a pearl, which can symbolize success, victory, wisdom, prosperity, achievement, and good luck. This felt to be a powerful, tying-in aspect to include for this sacred tattoo design.
I noticed after completing it that the flow of the design created double infinity signs, which was a very cool, natural unfoldment and another magickal aspect added to its energy. 🙂 In ancient India and Tibet this symbol represented perfection, dualism, and unity between male and female. In tarot it is linked to magick and symbolizes balance of various forces. It is also linked to the Ouroboros of cyclicality and enternal rebirth and recreation. In general it is the endlessness, abundant renewal, and eternity of Source.
This is a very empowering tattoo that depicts the mastering of the “Dragon,” as enlightenment is achieved, rather than a fight over or against it.

Celebrate Yourself, Celebrate Each Other – Lifting Humanity to the Next Level of Experience
Me and Jenn creating a mirror reflection, supportive bridge portal in Bimini
2013 – a year of community, harmony, peace, and divine love . What a wonderful embodiment of energy to set the tone for opportunities that can be experienced.
Now more than ever, as we consciously embrace a return to natural harmony within and without, it is a time to honor, respect, give thanks to, and support one another, our Earth Mother, her children – this very life we are gifted.
The way in which you treat yourself, reflects on how others will treat you and what experiences you draw in to mirror exactly what you need. And likewise, the way you treat others, is a reflection of how you treat yourself and how you do or don’t embrace and honor the aspects within you that they mirror. Since we are not separate, everything experienced is interrelated collectively.
This is a time to celebrate each other – to honor the gifts, unique talents and presence of energy each individual soul has to share. Having gratitude for the beauty each person emanates, seeing each other as amazing luminous beings, and celebrating the successes of our fellow brothers and sisters, becomes the foundational glue that will continue to lift all of humanity into new experiences of life.
When one person succeeds, it is a huge accomplishment for the collective, for these people have not gotten there alone, nor do their successes unfold solely. When one person breaks through fears, achieves a major soul evolutionary step, or creates an abundant manifestation in their life, they open the doorway and provide less challenging steps for others to follow in their own unique ways.
And for the ones who succeed, it is equally as important to recognize and remember the road traveled to get there and all who have supported you on this journey, energetically and otherwise. It is important not to forget what it was like on the journey, what you learned and the challenges you had to face, so you can then assist others both in unconditional compassion and in service.
Those that are truly great, know how to make others feel they are, and can become, great too.
We all succeed when others do. It is in our highest good to see that each person does, and not to judge where we are on our paths, as each place we stand is of significant meaning and power. One is not better than the other and it is all unique to each, as well as necessary for each. It is all relative and relevant.
It is not for me or you to do exactly as another does. This is NOT possible. It is a waste of time to even try to “be” as another and it is wasteful, draining energy to compare ourselves or to strive to achieve in the image of another.
Likewise, it is not for you or me to do or be all. Since we are part of the Oneness, we are each an extension of that and we celebrate and create as a collective. There is no need for one person to strive to perfect every possible talent. How exhausting would that be since everything is limitless? But also, how unnecessary it is since your brother and sister souls are another you. There will be areas that will jump out at you that reflect your specific expertise and talents, as well as your deepest heart passions. These are the areas to cultivate. Let others cultivate the areas that are their talents and then we become a beautiful tapestry interwoven in the fabric of co-creativity.
YOU have unique gifts and talents no other person has. The goal is for you to hone in on those gifts and empower them, for me and others to support that empowerment with love and gratitude and by doing the same for ourselves, and for you to then cultivate an expression of what you have to share, in a way that naturally embodies your individual and beautiful expression. We may do similar things under general, shared categories, but the way that channels through, and how that translates in our assistance to others, will be unique to each of us.
Your creative self expression is yours. No one can ever be you. So please recognize YOUR unique brilliance, as it cannot ever be duplicated.
Energy is constantly birthing in every moment. This second is nothing like the second that preceded it. We are each creative miracles of magickal power lighting up a magnanimously divine source together.
It is to our highest good to be in love with supporting and co-creating with each other. It is to our highest good to rejoice, not only in another’s accomplishments, but also for our own. No matter how small or large, all steps are productive and are powerful shifts in the cosmic totality of experience.
If every day we can remember not only to be grateful for all the things in our own lives we DO have, but to be grateful for all of the souls sharing this co-creative experience with us, and for all of their courageous evolutionary accomplishments and successes, we can strengthen the cohesive glue that binds our hearts in love and that forms the foundations we can continue to build upon in magickal ways.
There is no room for fear, competition, jealousies, resentment…in a heart that is full of unconditional love, compassion, understanding and unity consciousness. While all aspects of experience are part of that whole (not to be repressed or ignored, but integrated) and teach us our evolutionary lessons, they are just that…stepping stones to integrative healing and empowerment and once embraced in their fullness, become the way of alchemy.
We have a purpose for being and coming together – to learn from each other. There is no need to fight this or to blame one another, nor is there need to feel inferior or superior to another. Each person is part of the harmonious whole. There is a divine blending of energies as people work joyfully and lovingly together, supporting and encouraging each other in ways that are fulfilling and productive. Each individual pursues his or her activity and are drawn together to better fulfill each individual’s purpose.
You are the master of your experiences and being able to work in unison with the elements and currents that flow through you, will assist you in assuring their natural flow, rather than creating artificial boundaries that dam up the universal cycles in unnatural and disastrous ways.
Remember that the universe is limitlessly abundant. There is a continuous flow from this boundless source for everyone.
Me reflecting at the back of the boat in Bimini – photo by Kate unbeknownst to me 🙂
My hope and intent is that we all come to recognize the magnificence within and without…for yourself and your collective soul family. I know this can be challenging from the physical embodiment you reside in that houses the duality of experiences simultaneously, making it challenging to stay centered. Yet the more we practice it in action and go within to that stillness, the easier and more natural it becomes to see only with your heart and to understand the divine bigger picture with a fresh new perspective.
Look within for the source of wholeness and create your life in the reflection of this source that you embody. It all begins with you and right now, from the center of your “beingness.” Pause, reflect, and celebrate your own divinity that is not separate from that of another’s and realize that the creative power of the universe resides there awaiting you to give it flight.
Free will is a powerful thing that resides at the core of all existence.
The way you choose in each moment will change the world. How you love the world as your reflection, and your magnificence in its reflection, is the foundation of your experiences.

Here are some words from others to reflect on:
Everybody and everything is unique and different and meant to be that way. If we are like other people, then we are not expressing our own specialness. ~Louise L. Hay
If you’re able to be yourself, then you have no competition. All you have to do is get closer and closer to that essence. ~Barbara Cook
Herein, lies the key to love. Love builds bridges. Soul exists because God loves It. Soul equals Soul; no one Soul is greater than another. Experience the greatest love of all. ~Harold Klemp
And from John Lennon:
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as oneImagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
Introducing My Giant Quartz Crystal Skull – Raja Seraphina
My amazing Quartz Crystal Skull – Raja Seraphina
I couldn’t help myself but to snap a photo of my cherished Quartz Crystal Skull friend, Raja Seraphina, as I walked by her upon waking this morning. R.S., as I’ll lovingly call her, sits atop her silver and gold mirror mosaic table at the entry to my sanctuary domain office/art studio/meditative space. The way the morning sun, at just the right angle, was hitting her, was such a beautiful vision to behold.
The sun was peeking through my shutters and the tiny holes in my five silver-chromed dome holders that surround each tear drop bulb of my standing lamp in such a way as to cast a warm glow and project orb-like lights onto my wall tapestry in a random sequence not mirroring how they actually are. These light orb projections are an interesting coding remind me of the Mayan number system.
R.S. with light shining through her
Definitely felt so celestial and that Raja Seraphina was drawing my attention, of which I took note. 🙂
With her lovely illuminated sign today, I felt it was a good time to officially introduce her to the world with more detail about her energy. My guess is she will be expressing more in the days, months and year to come.
Raja Seraphina came into my life about 4 years ago in 2009 (will be 4 at the end of this month). I had been searching for and intending to find the perfect crystal skull, which took me a while to finally connect with. She is a giant Quartz Crystal Skull that is the same size as a human skull, but she definitely carries extraterrestrial origins.
After having spent two private sessions with the Crystal Skull, Max, and one private session with the Crystal Skull Sha Na Ra, when they came to a spiritual center I frequented in Reno while I was living in the Reno/Tahoe area, I knew that the crystal skull energy was one for me to be working with and tapping into more.
Upon a trip to bring home some crystal friends from the Quartzsite Rock, Gem and Mineral show in La Paz County, AZ and the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show with dear friend Amy, I had the good fortune of finding R.S. We had ventured to Quartzsite first, and while I found lovely pieces, no crystal skull friend spoke to me. We were actually there at the end of January and very, very start of February, not realizing that the Tucscon Gem Show would not be fully up and running yet. But we ventured there anyway and discovered many of the crystal merchants just setting up shop, so we were able to get first viewing and picking of what was coming out!
There are advantages to getting there at the start and at the end. The start offers you first look and opportunity at the selections and the end offers you the greatest bargains. However, Amy and I had a knack for always drawing in great connections, transactions, and divine timing, which resulted in great buys regardless. 🙂
I had searched the year before at the show and while I found many skulls that were lovely, I didn’t find “The One.” And the same happened at any store I went to in Sedona, or anywhere I would end up, and kept an eye out for one.
R.S.’s rainbow Third Eye
But it was just as we first entered the Tucson Gem Show that we stumbled upon a merchant who was just taking out his crystal skulls in the side and back area of his booth. He had a ton of other crystals and the skulls only made up a tiny fraction of his offerings. I immediately was drawn to R.S. and so was Amy (although she wasn’t looking for one herself, she was assisting in my search energetically). We both fell in love and she just felt so right. My pendulum agreed big time finally too!
She definitely was “The One.”
Bringing her home, along with several other large pieces I had gotten on this trip was quite the experience. I had them all in a rolling suitcase and upon my going through security at the airport, I was stopped. Apparently, my crystal skull showed up as something resembling a warning on security visuals and so they opened my back to find out what it was. Low and behold they discovered my Crystal Skull and then I had all of security around in awe and wondering if I was traveling with the Crystal Skulls from the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie that had “just” come out shortly before. LOL!
Needless to say, they were intrigued and let the little faery supportively rolling more than her weight in crystals, on her way.
And so it came to be that Raja Seraphina came home with me to Lake Tahoe. A little while after, I decided to see if she wanted to share her name. I knew she was more feminine in energy, but what I discovered was something very similar to what my dear Nestor (my departed twin soul bunny) held energetically.
Close up of R.S.’s rainbow Third Eye
I placed my third eye to hers (and by the way she has a lovely pastel rainbow at her third eye and in several areas around the back and sides of her crown) and waited to receive. What came to me very clearly was the name Raja Seraphina.
This was very interesting to me, as the two names carried very opposite, yet equally powerful energies – one male and one female – and the combination of the two meanings and energy definitely shared the gentle and integrative power of the Divine Male and Divine Female that “she” held:
Raja means king, prince, or chief in India or the East Indies.
Wikipedia shares: Raja (also spelled rajah, from Sanskrit राज rāja-) is an Indian term for a monarch, or princely ruler of the Kshatriya varna.
The Free Dictionary shares: Word History: Raja or Rajah is familiar to us from the Sanskrit r
j, “king,” and mahrj, “great king.” The Sanskrit root raj-,“to rule,” comes from the Indo-European root *reg-, “to move in a straight line, direct, rule.” The same Indo-European root appears in Italic (Latin) and Celtic. R
x means “king” in Latin, coming from *reg-s, whence our regal and, through French, royal. Two of the Gaulish kings familiar to us from Caesar, Dumnorix and Vercingetorix, incorporate the Celtic word r
x, “king,” in their names. (Rx also forms part of the name of that fictitious, indomitable Gaul Asterix.) Germanic at some time borrowed the Celtic word rx. It appears as reiks, “ruler,” in Gothic, as well as in older Germanic names ending in -ric, such as Alaric and Theodoric, the latter of whom has a name that is equivalent to German Dietrich,“people’s king.” A derivative of Celtic rx, *rg-yo-, meaning “rule, domain,” was also borrowed into Germanic, and is the source of German Reich, “rule, empire.”
As for Seraphina, this name carries a beautiful meaning as well. Seraphina, also Serafina, has a meaning of ardent and fiery, yet also carries a gentle grace. The highest-ranking in the hierarchy of angels, the six-winged seraphim, inspire this name. The feminine form of the Late Latin name Seraphinus, derived from the biblical word seraphim which was Hebrew in origin and meant “fiery ones”. The Latinate version Serafina is also Italian, Polish, and Portuguese.
The story of St. Serafina holds another element to this name’s energy – that of kindness, patience, and love in the face of pain, rejection and destitution. It’s a story of a young Italian girl who through her experiences reaches a state of holiness that imparts a lesson for us of achieving the same serenity and love in the midst of our sufferings.
Needless to say, I hope you enjoy meeting Raja Seraphina as I share her here. She is a beautifully powerful being that I am grateful to have as a friend and teacher.
Surrounded by Serenity & Reflection: The Essence of a New Year Embodied in My First Day of 2013
Gorgeous vista on the Bighorn Mine Trail
I always like to follow my own traditions and create new ways for celebrating that resonate with me. This year was no exception and having already felt like I had fully celebrated my idea of Christmas and the New Year while in Bimini just days before the holidays, I was feeling quite complete and ready to start integrating some of my inner journey that will hit come my birthday this year on February 26th, as I enter a #7 personal year in numerology.
I’ve consistently found that I am a couple months ahead in starting to integrate and process the next year’s energy right before it actually hits, always experiencing literal shifts that start to trickle in, as I put to closure the previous year’s energy.
Me on the Bighorn Mine Trail
For me, the trip in Bimini was closure to many things, as well as the beginning of a new journey. I foresee the promise of much beauty for all, as we enter a new cycle of our collective journey.
Violet energy surrounding a light orb
Moving into a 7 personal year promises to bring more deep reflection, introspection, contemplation, meditation, pause, and time spent exploring life’s deeper truths and how these convey through my actions. This seems perfectly aligned with how I have been feeling after quite a full year of experiences, focused work, and an integration of Yang that brought trials and tribulations and Yin that through embracing the process and doing the work, created a sense of harmonious peace within.
Glowing light orb as it moves from the violet
#7 years provide opportunity to come to a greater awareness of your full potential and to honor and understand when personal time is needed to be within one’s own experience or in quiet activities. A time for letting things come to you, realizing the power of intents and the foundations of hard work invested, so as to experience thoughts and ideas materializing now from all your efforts. Definitely it’s a time for gaining greater insight, efficiency, and powerful centeredness, to fully understand and experience the full circle of being alone, without every being or feeling lonely. In general, gaining depth of understanding, refinement of skills and talents, knowing when to withdraw or free yourself from outside responsibilities to find the balance needed for wholeness and inner peace, and a time when integrating clear thoughts are at a high. Cultivating these skills will produce valuable results.
Each birthday cycle we all enter a new personal year that carries with it the energy of the number it corresponds to numerologically, as well as do we collectively enter a new year of shared experiences at the birth of each New Year. I shared a bit about the collective #6 year we are entering in yesterday’s post on Reiki Workshops that support the energy of 2013.
As 2012 neared end, I was already feeling the shift into this more reflective mode and the need to bring in even more within time to myself or away from the outside world, so as to hone in on truly integrating and bringing fullness and depth to all that is being cultivated right now with my soul integration experience. Really honoring the need to balance the energies and what the body and soul desires to be of greatest benefit to it (being mindful of where to place focus and energy), is not only reflective of my personal 7 year I’m moving into, but is truly the way we are all moving into needing to learn to understand and honor to reach great potentials.
Of course this inner journey reflects through the type of work I will be focusing on and how that work also manifests, including the way things will come through me in the process – all really resulting in a deepening experience all around and the need to sit with the quietness in order to receive what wants to be shared and how. Definitely a tapping in to Source with greater conscious presence, as there are always unlimited ways to further our experiences. Sometimes I am able to be amidst tons of outer things and be fine, as the energy calls for that, but now there will be a weighing of what works best with the energy currents I am experiencing both inside and in mirror of the collective Earth’s energy, so reflection and recharging will become more prevalent.
Small light orb has now moved to base of left tree
Interestingly, this is the year I am feeling called to Tibet, which chimes perfectly in tune with my energy vibrations. On New Year’s day, I felt like the experience chosen to have, to honor the first of 2013, was in direct alignment with all that I’m expressing and what I am preparing for in Tibet.
Welcoming in the first day of the New Year immersing in the serenity and purity of the snow at Mt. Baden Powell was a beautiful way to kick start things. It was perfect and magickal to get away from everything in the mountains and be with the stillness that surrounded both within and without. Dave and I drove up to the San Gabriel Mountains to an area south-west of the town of Wrightwood with a packed picnic lunch of raw vegan goodies for the day and set out on a two mile trail that scaled the mountain side and then trekked another 4 miles in the snow on the Bighorn Mine Trail, perched at 7,000 feet, where we explored some old gold mines dating back to the early to mid 1890’s.
Bighorn Mine – notice sort of a rainbow energy coming from the mine shaft hole to the right
Bighorn Mile Trail: The trail starts in the Vincent Gap Parking lot, along with the Mine Gulch Trail. Soon after the start, the Mine Gulch Trail drops down into Vincent Gulch while the Bighorn Mine Trail continues around the side of Mt Baden Powell. Less than half way through the trail there is a mining tunnel on the side of the mountain, right on the trail. As you continue around the side of the mountain, eventually you will hit the main Bighorn Mine, which has mining structures and tunnels. This area is rich in history, as mining played a role in the past of the town of Wrightwood. The mine itself is closed off, however the views from this area are amazing as you peer over Mine Gulch, down toward the San Gabriel River Basin (East Fork). Like most places in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness, you can also see Pine Mountain, Dawson Peak, Mt Baldy, Iron Mountain, Blue Ridge, and Pine Mountain Ridge.
Rainbow energy inside the mine now – do you think there’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow they are leading me to? Certainly felt to be elves and faeries present on this hike
The first mine is closed off with a little flow of water coming from it. The second is no longer fully closed off, as a hole has been created large enough to climb inside and so we did indeed explore the first section of it where there is also some water run off. Enter at your own risk! Getting to this area in the snow was quite a trek and with areas of very narrow trail, snow and ice, with steep drop off on one side, it definitely is one to take with great care and patience, but well worth it for the serenity, majestic views, and to visit this old mine cradled in the side of the mountain.
There was indeed a presence of energy felt on this day and in and around the second mine, which showed up in a few of the photos. (See photo captions and click on each photo to enlarge for detail). The experiences and photos really seemed to tell the energetic tale of what I feel to come and what I received in my annual New Year’s Eve tarot reading share trade 😉
The signs are clear, the support is there, the foundational work has been laid, the commitments and responsibility embraced….This trek on the Bighorn trail was very reflective of my current journey, the orbs of support met along the way, both the ease and some of the integrated challenges still to come, and the destination of the gold mine at rainbow’s end, was a beautiful message of continued trust, gratitude, and patience, for all things are coming together beautifully in the bigger picture of creation.
Always grateful for the supportive guidance and love experienced, felt, and making itself known.
On the way home we were detoured through the Mojave Desert, which lies on one side of the mountain. It was definitely the out-of-the-way longer route home, but seemed to add to the energy of patient reflection and being able to take in the desert and mountain experience.
Red orb energy with something inside it showing up next to me inside the mine looking towards the opening
Same vantage point looking towards the opening of the mine with no red orb
The day was a beautiful experience within, reminding me of my beloved Lake Tahoe home I miss and how much I love to “be” in the stillness of nature’s beauty, as well as how much I love and thrive at high altitudes. Another foreshadowing of my soul connection to Tibet and how much I enjoyed trekking in the high altitudes of Peru up to 15,000 feet and living at the glacial, crystalline, and alpine lake of Tahoe.
It was the perfect way to experience and honor the new energy of 2013 and to anchor in the integration of a new experience personally and collectively.
I hope you all spent the welcoming of 2013 in your own sacred way. ♥ It is going to be a beautiful year.
2013 Accelerated Reiki Workshops in Reno & New Jersey – Opening to Living & Giving from Your Heart
Reiki 1 Initiation Attunements in Bimini
2013 is here and the energy of this year holds a lot of potential for harmony within and without, above and below. In numerology this is a #6 year for the collective and is about nurturing, caring, truth, order, justice, service to humanity, finding balance between giving and receiving, making responsible choices, connectedness, union, love, combining mind and imagination for intellectual creativity, sense of security and sanctuary at your core and in the home, and peace, to name a few things. 🙂
In the spirit of unconditional love, grace, healers and teachers, humanitarianism and responsibility – focuses that will be guiding us through this year’s experiences as a whole – being of service and finding the strength and color of your unique thread in the tapestry of the collective community will help you to illuminate your leadership role, as is uniquely mirroring of you.
This is a time of great change and empowering your voice in ways that will enhance your life and the lives of everyone you touch.
Practicing Reiki in Bimini after Reiki 1 and 2 class
Reiki is a beautiful expression of unconditional love and service that can empower your life and unite you with others, as it bridges you together through the source of Universal Life Force Energy.
If you’ve been feeling the desire to connect more deeply with yourself and others, or needing loving support to help bring you back to wholeness from the intense shifts taking place in your life and around you, then taking a journey of the heart to help anchor in the acceleration of experiences, at the core, may be of resonance to you.
Reiki is one tool that can support this and is an option that perfectly mirrors the essence of this year.
Me Teaching Reiki in Bimini
In response to continual requests (especially from people/clients outside of my area) and in honoring the guidance coming through, I have been called to offer more opportunities both non-locally and locally, as well as to offer discount specials, in order to support as many people that would like to embark on the journey of Reiki.
I will continue to offer private classes here in Southern California, but also will have many opportunities for Accelerated Reiki Workshop Weekends and retreats (like the one in Bimini) in different areas to support those who are ready to embrace things on a whole new level.
Reiki has the ability to bring greater sense of self, clarity, empowerment, peace, joy, and deeper love and compassion. The focus is on learning, sharing, supporting and expanding your heart through Reiki (pronounced ray-key). The practice of channeling Reiki is an easy-to-learn, gentle and powerful system of natural healing that reduces stress, induces relaxation, supports intentions and provides many other healing benefits. The Reiki classes I offer are part of the Traditional Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Certification Training.
If you’ve been interested in taking a class and embarking on this life-changing and empowering path, then one of these weekends, detailed below, may be the perfect answer for you. Whether you are new to Reiki, have already been through some of the levels, are preparing to teach and want a refresher, or want to incorporate Reiki into your current healing practice, you will find these classes to be supportive and timely in terms of the now. If you have trained with another teacher that is no longer accessible for you, you can continue your training with me, if that resonates, after we discuss where you are at in your process and what would most be supportive in reflection of that.
Teaching Reiki 1 Class in Bimini
These offerings are provided with intention to help you to step gracefully into learning how to support yourself, other people and animals towards compassionate goals, intentions and worldwide healing and change for our New Earth.
Below you will find information on two upcoming Accelerated Reiki Workshops that will be kicking off the New Year this month of January and in February. I’m excited to announce that I’ll be spreading the Reiki love both on the west and east coast! Yay! So if you have been interested in learning Reiki, now is your chance if you’re in or around these areas, to gift yourself or someone you love, with a life-changing opportunity that will affect everyone and everything you touch.
Please contact me at tania@taniamarie.com with questions and to register. You can find all details below on the workshops both in Reno, Nevada and Nutley, New Jersey. More Reiki Workshops will be announced soon.
In these workshops you will be trained, initiated, and certified in Reiki 1, 2, and 3, as well as enjoy practicing with the group and receiving valuable insights and personal attention.
You have the option of taking the whole accelerated weekend or just Saturday’s Reiki 1 and 2 classes or Sunday’s Reiki 3 Master Teacher class individually, depending on your desires and needs.
Non-local classes must be registered and paid for no later than two days before class begins, as I need to prepare all materials before traveling and know how many people will be attending.

February Reiki Workshops:
Nutley, New Jersey Reiki Classes at Infinitive Wellness Sharanam Yoga Studio
Enjoy a loving weekend of Reiki and Yoga with Tania Marie and Venus Banguela
Beginning the day with Heart Enlightening Vinyasa Flow will be a beautiful way to become present in your experience, as you synchronize movement and breath to create that sense of wholeness. A perfect way to ready yourself for taking this experience of Oneness to the next level with your Heart Opening Reiki training, as you anchor yourself in the experience of your body and soul in preparation. Each day of this weekend will be a heart-full way to experience the new and to open yourself to living, giving and receiving in empowering ways.
About Your Teachers for this Weekend:
Venus and I connected in early 2011 when I had the honor to assist her in co-creating a couple of amazing sacred tattoo designs for her, one of which is in process of finalizing into full color, but she wears it most beautifully and powerfully, even as is. We had an instant resonation and magickal things just ignited through our journey together during the process and beyond. We discovered a heart resonance and have continued our beautiful connection since, which led us to co-collaborate on creating this offering in the spirit of co-creation, heart service, and community sharing. We hope you will enjoy the meeting of our hearts with yours.
Venus Banguela: Venus Banguela, founder of Infinitive Wellness Sharanam is a Certified Yoga Teacher specializing in Vinyasa Flow. She is also a Holistic Health Coach specializing in nutrition and lifestyle wellness. Her yoga teaching style is full of fiery passion and gentle compassion, with a heavy focus on alignment. She is passionate about consciously connecting one with their inner divinity as well as incorporating Ayurveda (the Science of life and the sister of yoga) and all aspects of the sacred teachings. Her classes tend to bring a calming effect to her students allowing de-stressing from our fast paced society to occur. Venus has been practicing yoga for over 10 years and has felt yoga’s healing properties first hand. Meditation, chanting and yoga philosophies have been a large part of her journey toward wellness. She has pursued teaching in response to her need to share the many beautiful experiences and benefits she has been blessed to have encountered. Venus received her 200-hour yoga training from Joschi Yoga Institute in NYC and her Health Coach training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. She believes wellness is a birthright for all to enjoy and that yoga, nourishing food and lifestyle is the path in reaching it. Venus will forever be a humbled student of life. As one lesson is learned, endless ones await.
