&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;World Peace Card Meditations &lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, December 16, 7:30pm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(based on local time in your time zone)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Future Dates &lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, January 13, 2010, 7:30pm&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, February 17, 2010, 7:30pm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;You are invited to take part in the next three World Peace Card Meditations. Please mark your calendar and forward this email to all your friends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thanks for Your Help!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Because so many of you forwarded this email to your friends, there have been almost 140,500 downloads of the World Peace Cards. This is a tremendous increase in the number of people using the cards. So far the total number of World Peace Card sets downloaded, received from our free offer and from our magazine has been nearly 155,500! I hope you have been using your peace cards as their use brings blessings to the world as well as to you.&lt;br /&gt;The next three World Peace Card group meditations have been scheduled for Wednesday, December 16; Wednesday, January 13, 2010 and Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 7:30pm. This is local time in your time zone. This method has been chosen because of the special effect it produces. As people meditate in each successive time zone the energy builds like a wave which gets stronger and stronger as it circles the planet. Because of the higher dimensional nature of consciousness, the energy of peace will be transmitted for a full 24 hours and continue long after this.&lt;br /&gt;Reports from those who took part in the previous meditations indicate many had powerful spiritual experiences. As they united with those taking part in the meditation a feeling of peace developed within that stayed with each for a long time. Some saw beautiful golden light surrounding the planet and others felt that a web of fear was dissipating and being replaced with trust in others and for our future.&lt;br /&gt;All those who have received the cards are being asked to meditate on world peace at this time. By taking part in this group meditation, you&amp;#39;ll be joining thousands of people who will be using the cards to bring peace to the world. By joining together, the affect we have will be greatly multiplied. This powerful experience and will help shift the vibration of our wonderful planet into a higher state of consciousness. As you use the cards to meditate on world peace, you will be a beacon through which peace will spread around the planet which will have a positive uplifting effect on all people.&lt;br /&gt;Please set aside this time to meditate with the cards. The suggested meditation period is 15 minutes, but of course you can meditate longer if you&amp;#39;d like to. The technique I&amp;#39;d like you to use is based on allowing yourself to be a beacon of peace. The World Peace Cards hold the vibration of the World Peace Grids which have been placed at spiritually significant locations and are relay stations for higher consciousness. By simply opening to their energy, you&amp;#39;ll become a channel for their love and peace which will flow through you to all the people on Earth. To do this, hold the cards in your hands or place them in front of you. Then simply meditate on peace.&lt;br /&gt;We are entering a new era. Our entire planet including all the people and living things are moving into a place where it will be much easier to solve our problems and to create peace, prosperity and happiness for everyone. The World Peace Card meditation will quicken this process, making it easier for people to experience this new quality of higher consciousness and will provide great benefit for all people. Since this benefit will be flowing through you out to everyone on the planet, you&amp;#39;ll be blessed by this experience as well.&lt;br /&gt;Many have received the cards in the mail or in the Reiki News Magazine while others have downloaded them from our web site. If you would like additional copies of the cards, please download them using this link and print as many copies as you can use. Please feel free to give them to your friends. Also, forward this email to anyone you feel would like to take part in the meditation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;World Peace Card Download &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reiki.org/WPCM.html" title="http://www.silvermarketnewsonline.com/PeaceGrids.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Additional World Peace Cards &lt;br /&gt;http://www.reiki.org/WPCM.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note: This is a larger file and it may take several &lt;br /&gt;minutes for it to open, so please be patient.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;When printing the cards from this file, print page 2 first, then place this page in your printer and print the image of the peace grids on the back. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Thank you for taking part in this group meditation. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;William Lee Rand&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reiki.org/" title="http://www.reiki.org/" target="_blank"&gt;The International Center for Reiki Training &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.5em"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bbg-aura.gaia.com/photos/56/551642/large/DSCF4044.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://reikiinmedicine.org/" target="_blank"&gt;From Pamela Miles&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Hardly a day goes by that I am not communicating about Reiki in one form or another. It helps me to keep these three tips in mind:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Keep it short.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;How short? String together 7 words that start with &amp;quot;Reiki is.&amp;quot; Ok, now you&amp;#39;re down to five. In conversation, leave it there until the person asks for more.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Keep it concrete.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;What, Reiki, concrete? No, of course &lt;em&gt;Reiki&lt;/em&gt; is not concrete, but Reiki practice is, and so are some of the results. Illustrate by placing a hand on yourself as you speak, or offer a sample. Mrs. Takata often said, I can&amp;#39;t tell you what Reiki is, but I can show you. Mention the research, but gently, like this: Some small studies have shown Reiki treatment can improve heart rate and blood pressure, and reduce pain and anxiety.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Keep it accurate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;If you are sharing your personal experience of Reiki practice, state that clearly. Otherwise, be sure to speak factually. Granted, this practice is awash in myths and misinformation, and it can be hard to sort fact from fiction, but it just got a lot simpler. Reiki master Janet Dagley Dagley marshalled her journalistic researching skills to make it easy for you to update your knowledge of Reiki facts, at your convenience. &lt;a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2501838862/2280340/86087035/12013/goto:http://reikidigest.blogspot.com/2009/10/new-update-your-reiki-training-at-your.html" title="JDD update class" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Click here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to learn more about her online course.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &amp;nbsp;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FREE COMMUNICATION TOOLS FOR YOU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I am committed to raising public awareness of Reiki as a viable healing practice that has a place in health care, and I have created&amp;nbsp; tools to help you help this happen. Whether you need something to take the burden of communicating Reiki off your hands entirely (sorry, couldn&amp;#39;t help myself), or you want to improve your own communication skills, you&amp;#39;ll find something here that can help you:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;COMMUNICATING REIKI MAINSTREAM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;1. The first installment of Reiki Chats, my new video series, addresses the question, &lt;a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2501838862/2280340/86087036/12013/goto:http://reikiinmedicine.org/reiki-videos/" title="ReikiVideoPage" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Can Reiki Help You?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;2. &lt;a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2501838862/2280340/86087037/12013/goto:http://reikiinmedicine.org/daily-practice/what-is-reiki-what-to-do/" title="BlogWhatIsReiki" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;quot;What is Reiki?--What to do?&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; gives more detail how to successfully respond when asked about Reiki. After reading it, please exercise your communication muscle by leaving a comment.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;3. The UPI interview, &lt;a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2501838862/2280340/86087038/12013/goto:http://www.religionandspirituality.com/view/post/11703128193100/Reiki_A_healing_touch/r" title="UPIReikiBasics" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;quot;Reiki: A Healing Touch&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; outlines Reiki basics in plain language. You can direct people there, or use it as inspiration while composing your own response. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &amp;nbsp;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;COMMUNICATING REIKI IN HEALTH CARE &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;1. Integrative Practitioner has generously agreed to make the recording of my presentation at last February&amp;#39;s medical conference available to the public. &lt;a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2501838862/2280340/86087039/12013/goto:http://www.integrativepractitioner.com/article_ektid13786.aspx" title="IntPract recording" target="_blank"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; for the free download, which you can use to open a conversation about Reiki in your local hospital.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;2. Many Reiki masters have emailed to ask if they can use my 4 minute &lt;a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2501838862/2280340/86087040/12013/goto:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ammo6-Vje6s" title="IntroReikiVideo" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Reiki video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; when presenting Reiki to health care professionals or patient groups. Yes, you can! And then please email me and let me know how it went, and if particular questions came up that you&amp;#39;d like me to address in my blog, &lt;a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2501838862/2280340/86087041/12013/goto:http://reikiinmedicine.org/reiki-blog/" title="ReikiCentral" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Reiki Central&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;AND A FEW EXTRAS&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://Livestrong.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Livestrong.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Lance Armstrong&amp;#39;s popular cancer support website, includes new articles about &lt;a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2501838862/2280340/86087042/12013/goto:http://www.livestrong.com/treatment/reiki/" title="Livestrong" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Reiki&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Lorraine Shea. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &amp;nbsp;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Are you thinking of mounting a website? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I hope so. We need more credible representation of Reiki on the internet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; An article on page 22 of the November/December issue of &lt;a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2501838862/2280340/86087043/12013/goto:http://massagebodywork.idigitaledition.com/issues/9/" title="Mass&amp;amp;Bodywk" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Massage&amp;amp;Bodywork&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; magazine will give you a good start.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &amp;nbsp;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;If you are interested in keeping updated on health information in general, join me on Twitter, where I am known as &lt;a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2501838862/2280340/86087044/12013/goto:http://twitter.com/wellth" title="Wellth" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;@Wellth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Many Reiki blessings, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Pamela &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

I&amp;#39;ve just given &lt;a href="http://groups.gaia.com/50_stars/discussions/view/479162#479278"&gt;the link as a &amp;#39;gift&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39; to a friend on her birthday. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Hi Barbara&lt;br /&gt;Next door&amp;#39;s cats are regular visitors in our house - as yet the new kittens from across the road haven&amp;#39;t been seen apart from one visit by Mittens into the back garden!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your experience with the reiki sounds wonderful - it is so much more comfortable with a couch/table - much more relaxing... &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      When I woke this morning, I realized in that moment before full awaking, that a certain ceremony was going on in which I was participating. It was for ancestors, or those whose DNA are within me. Since these can be from the dawn of time, it could be a very deep level; but I was aware that it was for some who were closer in generation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What startled me at first, was that I began to give a Reiki hands-on treatment to an ancestor who, I have been told, faltered and died as a result of an accident. That energy is not appeased and has caused much trouble. At one level, I accepted it, at another I did not, but here I was, in a ceremony and then a healing session, in dreamtime, when our literal brain is asleep!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once I came to terms with it, a revelation came through and I understood the Reiki attunement even better, of how it bridges time and space. That is not just for this lifetime; but for lifetimes past as well. We can send and give Reiki to our ancestors, and thus it trickles down to us and those around us, and those to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for being here in this time and space for this sharing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Img &lt;a href="http://cd4cd8.com/simm/personal/img/fract04/fract07-Thumbnails/20.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="Merry%20Mary" target="_blank"&gt;2&amp;nbsp; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.byregion.net/images/members/risingstarhealing_5.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;3&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Barbara, this is really amazing- the experience with your sister! And with your father too --not really bewilderment, I&amp;#39;m sure! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Tai, I can just about picture a group of your neighborhood cats lining up at your door for a little Reiki tune-up! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meenakshi, I like the idea of being a healing presence until a targeted treatment is required.&amp;nbsp; Goodness knows my family could use a lot of general healing up there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I gave my sister Reiki the first time it was a powerful experience.&amp;nbsp; Beverly tends to be skeptical of what she calls &amp;quot;hocus pocus,&amp;quot; but was curious to see what it is that I&amp;#39;ve been going on about lately.&amp;nbsp; (I asked her permission to share this story...)&amp;nbsp; She has a lot of health problems stemming from a birth defect, her pelvis is twisted out of position a little and causes a lot of strain on her muscles.&amp;nbsp; She wore a brace for a year when she was a toddler.&amp;nbsp; And she&amp;#39;s been seeing a physical therapist for years now.&amp;nbsp; When I started to give her the Reiki she told me later that she saw a bright white egg which blinded her with pain for a few seconds, and then a snake hatched out of it and then the pain disappeared.&amp;nbsp; We looked up snakes and found they often represent healing.&amp;nbsp; (A snake also slipped into the house recently when we were taking Dad outside in his wheelchair at Midsummer.)&amp;nbsp; She also told me that my hands felt just like my mother&amp;#39;s hands which comforted her, but also made her miss her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So.......&amp;nbsp; Beverly decided I should have a Reiki table so I would be more comfortable while giving her sessions.&amp;nbsp; She and Tim got me one and it&amp;#39;s really nice.&amp;nbsp; We took it up to my dad&amp;#39;s and I gave him some Reiki, too.&amp;nbsp; He fell right asleep and did say he liked it.&amp;nbsp; Poor Dad, he was probably exhausted from bewilderment.&amp;nbsp; Earlier in the day I had collected DNA samples, cells scraped from his cheek, because he is the last male in his genetic line and I&amp;#39;m curious to see what his Y-chromosome DNA reveals about his deep ancestry.&amp;nbsp; He&amp;#39;d understand for a little while and then forget and wanted to know all over again what the heck I was doing! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I am of this belief too, we can just be reiki and radiate it inside of us and in our immediate surroundings - it&amp;#39;s like being in a loving and compassionate state, full of acceptance and acknowledgement for ourselves, humanity, nature and the universe.&amp;nbsp; Just knowing that our prayers/reiki/light always reach where they are needed and when they are needed is a wonderful thought to hold and to share with others... &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I&amp;#39;ve found that hands-on Reiki may not always be accepted --just as you&amp;#39;ve shown, Barbara, and Tai. They know what they need!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m thinking that Reiki is something to &amp;#39;be in&amp;#39; and that helps us to be a healing presence; till targeted treatment is required. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      That&amp;#39;s great, my cats always loved the reiki and so do the cats next door!&amp;nbsp; I even used to give the indoor fish reiki through the tank.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes it&amp;#39;s good with animals just to think the reiki to them if they don&amp;#39;t seem settled, you will be able to see them visibly relax if you are in the same room...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think the sun can clear and energize the crystals, they like to rest too...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ll look out for another episode! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I&amp;#39;m so pleased that you saw the dog whisperer!&amp;nbsp; It amazes me how flexible and effective he is dealing with so many different kinds of people and all kinds of dogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ll have to take the fluorite out to the see the sun today.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ve been using it with the Reiki early in the morning, before dawn. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I was up at my dad&amp;#39;s and offered Bernie (the blind cat) some Reiki.&amp;nbsp; He seemed pretty reluctant and distracted at first because the windows were open and he could hear interesting things going on outside.&amp;nbsp; Beverly moved him to the window sill and informed me that he wanted his Reiki there.&amp;nbsp; So that actually worked.&amp;nbsp; His body is so small though.&amp;nbsp; I wound up scratching his chin with one hand and giving Reiki with the other hand.&amp;nbsp; He seemed quite pleased and relaxed. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I saw the dog whisperer - he was amazing! Thanks for the picture, your sphere reminds speaks of &amp;quot;attuning to nature&amp;quot; - does it have a small rainbow if you hold it to the sun..&lt;br /&gt;My friend lives up north so I haven&amp;#39;t seen her working, she has a pony and loves riding and teaching.&amp;nbsp; If you tune into the animal and telepathically ask simple questions your high sense perception fills in the answers!&lt;br /&gt;Suni cultivates the Love of Animals Group &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Yes, the pot size would have limited its growth; because otherwise it grows extremely tall. As there&amp;#39;s no proper space for it to grow right now, Ifelt it&amp;#39;s better to allow it to grow slowly than have to trim and cut it later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the tree you gave yr sister still growing, Barbara? I wonder how long they can stay in a pot. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Beautiful baby Sacred Fig!&amp;nbsp; I thought the leaves reminded me of a ficus tree I kept here for a few years for my sister when she lived in New Mexico.&amp;nbsp; It was pretty tall, about 6 feet, and didn&amp;#39;t seem to grow much, I thought because the pot size limited its growth. &lt;/p&gt;
