So today I am working on making my own Smudge Bundles and I'm enjoying this To work with herbs is delightful, invigorating and energizing How to Make Smudge Bundles: I have Rosemary and Sage here for this Smudge Stick I asked my plants permission to cut some stems from each plant,  I cut 3 of each plant about 5" long Then I laid them together until I felt they laid just right for a bundle, then I took Embroidery floss, 3 threads and took a really long length, you can always cut more as you go if needed. Then I began wrapping the cut ends first around nice and tight and smoothly.

It is used as a cleansing and purifying agent, the effect of the smoke is to banish negative energies. The powerful cleansing vibration it emits when burned, is used to purify the subtle energies of one"s aura, as well as personal and ceremonial spac

Affirmation from YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE, Louise L. Hay "In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete. I no longer choose to believe in old limitations and lacks. I now choose to begin to see myself as the Universe sees me, perfect, whole, and complete. The truth of my Being is that I was created perfect, whole, and complete. I will always be perfect, whole, and complete. I now choose to live from this understanding. I am in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing. All is well in my world." *** Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being,  and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

I am a Usui Reiki Master, Teacher and Healer What is Reiki? Reiki is universal healing energy:  Reiki = Spirit  Ki = Life force, Chi, breath  Reiki = Spirit breath When you are attuned to Reiki you are opened to the universal life energy. Reiki attunements are much like tuning in you TV station. The TV waves are there you just need to tune them in. The same is true with Reiki. Reiki does not only treat where your hands are placed but will travel to where it is needed in the body. Intuition is important when using Reiki. Move your hands to where you are guided even if that is not where the pain is.  Let me help you heal yourself, feel better, live better and perform daily life in the most wonderful way.
