How is your summer going?
The wait is over!
Jaret and I were to take a trip to Vancouver Island in the fall of 2020; as you can imagine, that did not happen. We were able to visit Victoria, BC and the Parksville/Qualicum Beach area in early July.
Our adventures included the Victoria Butterfly
Gardens, Butchart Gardens, Englishman Falls, and Cathedral Grove where this picture was taken. This Douglas-fir is over 800 years old, 76 m tall, and 9 m round; it would dwarf the Leaning Tower of Pisa in height.
I did not realize how much I needed the time away to connect with the forest and ocean, as well as for my husband and I to have time to focus on each other.
New offering in Sound!
Free Your Voice - Sound healing workshop
July 18th was the first time I offered the Free Your Voice - Sound healing workshop, but it will not be the last! Nine beautiful souls joined me to bravely lift their voices, clear their inhibitions and confront the things, people and experiences that held their tongues.
In this 2.5-hour session, we explored the sounds our voices can make, the reasons we keep silent and ways to loosen both our courage and voices. Exercises included an ancient Hawaiian process to rid the body of anger and grief, loosening up the neck, face, and jaw to allow the mouth to full open. We learned questions and sounds for each chakra, noting how the vibration felt in the body and what memories, feelings, visions, and sensations arose. The session finale was a sound blessing, pictured on the previous page, where participants got comfortable while I channeled sounds intuitively according to what the group needed.
I plan to offer more of these sessions in the fall so stay tuned! If you cannot wait to receive your unique sound bath, consider booking your personal Sound Healing here.
Reiki updates
Reiki Shares are an opportunity for Reiki students and practitioners to come together and share energy. I host these from 1 - 3pm, the third Sunday of each month at my home in Regina where attendees have an opportunity to give and receive energy. We begin with updates in learning and an opportunity to ask questions. Attendance is free to all former students, regardless of training level and experience. Non-students can attend for a donation, contact me for information patricia.meier@sparksofhealing.ca.
Reiki training: the next available Reiki 1st Degree class is scheduled for Sunday, August 25th. If you have questions before you register, please feel free to go to the link above and book a free 30-minute consultation with me. That date doesn’t work for you or you are looking for 2nd Degree or Master training? Please book a consultation so we can work together to find a suitable date; I have flexibility to offer other dates and times to suit your schedule.
Reiki for Kids Sessions: Reiki is an amazing modality to help children find balance, connection, and peace. I have been working with a wonderful seven-year-old boy since June. His mom is so excited to see her boy regain is character, sense of humour, and for his smile to be shining brightly, lighting up the world. Children are highly sensitive to emotions, energy of others, and the stress in the classrooms. Reiki is a gift to help them find inner peace. I provide kids with tools to use outside of the session.
Reiki for Kids Classes: I offer Reiki training to children ages 12 to 17. Are you interested in enrolling your child or learning more? Please book a free 30minute consultation to discuss the class structure and add their name to the waiting list. These classes are scheduled on demand.
Books I’ve been reading
I committed myself to read some of the many books that have been patiently waiting on the shelf; my plan was to read 24 books in 2024; I have read 23 books to date.
Kathleen McGowan’s books changed me.
This series is called the Mary Magdalene line and is the story of Yeshua’s (Jesus) life through the lens of Mary Magdalene, his most favoured disciple and wife.
I experienced a deep release of things from the past while absorbing their teachings.
I have clearly understood the importance of forgiveness for quite some time; this includes forgiveness of others and most importantly, self-forgiveness. During the reading of these books, I understood this knowledge at a level deeper than ever before. When I reach inside to check, I can no longer find grievances from the past that have haunted me for years. Is there magic inside these covers? I think perhaps.
A while back, I asked a trusted channeling partner if it was time to write my next book yet? The task was given to me in 2020; that story is here. The answer I received in the early spring of 2024 from Yeshua was that it was not yet time to write the book; there was more for me to learn first. I truly believe that the release of past grievances is the thing that stands in the way of my next book appearing on the page; this book will be called Being Love.
