I’ve been asked this question before and I’m still not sure what the real answer is. During our global shutdown I discovered that we didn’t have any nearly enough toilet paper reserves and that we had a massive reliance on disposable paper goods. I have solved that now by reading up on the many alternatives. I’m now a step closer to faring better in a zombie apocalypse.
I have a few skills that would come in handy – I can cook, stay calm under pressure, and of course there’s Reiki…
I asked my daughter and her answer was , “Let’s never find out.” I’m inclined to agree with her.
Ok, truth time. I think I’d fare pretty well because I’m adaptable and resourceful. If Reiki counts then we’ll call on the whole Reiki community and there won’t be an apocalypse.
Ha!
This post is part of the Long and Short Reviews Weekly Blog Challenge. Visit their website to see how others think they’ll fare.

One way to chase away sadness and uncertainty is to view each new day as a gift and treat it like one.
Today we spent time with a dear friend – socially distanced, of course, and felt a renewed appreciation for the time spent together in person. We had all sheltered in place or self-isolated for weeks, in our individual efforts to flatten the curve. Simply being in the same physical space was a huge blessing.
Another gift today brought us is watching squirrels and birds, who seem to be as taken with us as we are with them.
How about you?
Thank you for the time we spent together today!

To all our moms
For all you do
We offer this natural beauty
To celebrate you
I’m a 4 and have been since 2006 when I received my Level I Reiki training.
One of the best days of my life was when my Reiki Master Teacher asked if I wanted to train to become a Reiki Master Teacher, which I did in 2007.
I fell in love with Reiki, with all the blessings it has brought to my life, and to the lives of so many people I know. I express my gratitude for it every day when I send distance Reiki during meditation, while giving myself Reiki.
If you’re a 1, 2, or 3, here’s my definition of what Reiki is.
If you’re a 4, I’m sending you a virtual high five!
Thanks for the time we spent together today,
Gina

We are all in this together. Some of us are working from home while homeschooling our kids and trying to keep it all going while we honestly don’t know what tomorrow will bring. What we know for sure is that Reiki can help us relax. But where are we supposed to go to have that relaxing alone time? Nowhere. Everyone is home. And they need to chill out, too. I have a solution.
Reiki For The Whole Household – Group Reiki
Do you and everyone in your household need to relax together? I've got the perfect way for you to relax: A group Reiki session. We'll get together on a Zoom call, where I help balance energies and release energies between you and everyone in your household. The price quoted here is for 3 receivers. The session is 80 minutes long. If you have more than three people in your home, contact me to schedule.
$90.00
Couples Reiki Session – 70 Minutes
You and your love share so much, so how about sharing a relaxing Reiki session? This session is designed to bring you closer, clear away energies that neither of you need, and bring an overall glow to both of you at the same time.
$80.00
Level II, III, or IV students who would like train in this technique, click here for information.
Session times are always limited, so book as soon as you can.
I appreciate the time we spend together,
Gina

I was introduced to Ross’s work when I was working toward my nutrition degree and was assigned the task of finding a popular book about approaches to diet and write a paper about it. I chose The Diet Cure, Ross’s first book. Years later my dear friend, a talented NLP practitioner and Theta healer named Jillian O’Hara, recommended The Mood Cure based on her own experiences with it.. I remembered how impressive The Diet Cure was and added The Mood Cure to my TBR tower.
There are six pages of notes written in my book journal from while I was reading this book. I’ve added notes to handouts I give to clients directly quoting Ross’s work. This book is worth reading if you or someone you care for is trying to balance their moods, even if I didn’t agree with every point Ross made. For example, I thought a deeper analysis of liver function was needed before implementing amino acid therapy and I don’t depend on animal-sourced protein the way she does. Protein is definitely a key, but I believe that it can be plant-based if you eat complete proteins or combine them, like beans and rice. I’ve seen too much animal protein create new problems.
Everyone in a position of helping others with nutrition should read this book.
This review is of the ebook edition, published in 2002.
Highlights of the book are:
Evaluation of symptoms including a deeper dive into remedies.
A timeline for when you should see improvement from the remedy.
Specifics about supplementing with amino acids.
How low-calorie diets and skipped meals can quickly reduce vital serotonin-making supplies.
Informative charts. I saw the same charts in the paperback version and they were much easier to read there than in the ebook version.
Non-meat sources of tryptophan.
Which nutrients you need to take in for consistent neurotransmitter function.
Information about light therapy.
Chapter 13 is an exceptional approach to chronic pain and can improve daily life with simple changes.
Ross backs her information with research.
Amazing bibliography, including my introduction to 7 Weeks to Sobriety by Joan Matthews-Larson, which is easily the best book I’ve read on nutritional approaches to alcohol and substance dependency.
Recipes!
Is this book a substitute for a qualified nutrition professional? Simply put, no. We all need a trained professional to guide us through the entirety of making changes in a way that will lead to lasting results.
Reading this book will empower any reader in understanding how moods can be balanced, and that is golden.
Be sure to check out the great resources on Julia Ross’ website.
Thanks for reading,
Gina

Let’s help each other figure out what to do with those odds and ends we pushed back to the deep caverns of the pantry.
This is what we’d like help with: lots of dried chives, thin rice cakes we’ve lost a taste for, and a handful of dried sage flowers. Hmm. I’m stumped.
Suggestions, please!
Thanks for playing,
Gina

As a dealer of hope, love and peace my job is to spread joy, happiness and be the light to others. I do this in many ways, the underlying energy and intent is to be the light many are searching for; light the path to joy and happiness; to shine in love and peace so there is hope in all situations.
I practice Reiki daily, sending healing in various ways like connecting through FB, texts, phone calls, and now Zoom is a daily stop for me.
Then I found Send Out Cards* to stay connected…which is so important in isolation. All of us are living a different normal and don’t know how long we will be separated from family and friends. We are feeling a sense of loss and fear. People like me are working to raise the vibration of as many as we can, therefore raising the vibration of the world. There is hope. There is love flowing. Peace of mind is a choice. My desire is that I help one person who helps another who helps another to have hope, feel and give love, and feel peaceful.
With Send Out Cards I design a card online, in the process infuse it with Reiki, input my friend’s address, press send. The card is printed exactly how I like, with my friend’s special pictures, sayings that are meaningful to us, even games for the grandsons like mazes, word searches and crosswords. The card is sent directly to my friend, family member, or business associate without me going to the store, buying stamps and remembering to put it in the mail. I can act on my kindness promptings with just a couple clicks and spend less, too!
I heard someone say life is like an EKG; there are peaks and valleys and that is good. When the line on the monitor is straight and calm, this life is over, we move on. Especially during the low times; I remind myself…This is life – ups and downs are what keeps me in this game.
I have always been an intuitive and empathic healer; although I didn’t know what that was for much of my life. It wasn’t until I started to realize my gifts, receiving a Reiki Attunement in 2009, that my life began to shift and I became more aware of my purpose in this life. BTW, I was a Grandma at the time so be patient, do the good things and clarity will come to you.
In the Fall of 2019 it was becoming apparent that I needed to get back to my calling, start practicing Reiki more; life had changed and I let Reiki sit on the side lines for a while. I wondered what my next big step would be. There were no big A-Ha moments until 2020…historic 2020. In February my husband had a heart attack. There was no warning, he seemed healthy and active; he was playing softball at the time. Thankfully he received exceptional treatment quickly and is now doing well, pleasantly surprising the doctors. We had already started to hear about Covid-19 but it seemed “over there.” It would be contained and not reach us so far away. We now know there are no borders and here we are in the midst of a pandemic. We are living in a new world. Life will be different as we live whatever life has become.
People who adjust, seek kindness and spread that shit around will be able to move forward quickest and easiest. We all will suffer loss in some way…some more than others and that is a sadness we share. There is hope. If we practice our gifts, share hope, Love and peace, the world will be a better place.
Hope, Love, Light and Peace to you all.
