Intention

Hello August!

For those of you who haven’t met me yet, my name is Cai (rhymes with ‘day’) and I am a Reiki practitioner, Empowerment Coach, and mindfulness teacher here at Luminessence. Today I’m sharing a thought with you on intentions.

Afterwards, I invite you to visit my website Hummingbird Alchemy to find out more about Reiki and my healing journey (and… pssst… get a thank you gift when you subscribe to my email!)

Intention

Here’s a word we encounter often, especially as we delve more deeply into understanding ourselves and the world around us. We hear ‘be clear in your intention’ and ‘hold the intention for the highest good’ but how do we do that? Think positive, right?

There-in lies a bit of the confusion, I believe, when it comes to living a life with purpose and intention: We think too much! Our brains are pattern-seeking devices with a job of categorizing every nanosecond of our lives. Each category creates fat file folders that manufacture more sub-folders until we have a bulging file cabinet with drawers that don’t close and countless piles scattered across our thoughts.

Try this

So I’m suggesting you try something a little different the next time you set an intention and this goes back to an earlier etymology of the word intendere – to stretch out. Stretch out beyond just thinking and engage all your senses in the process. Spend a bit of quiet time and run the idea through each of your five physical senses. What does that intention look and sound like? How does it feel to the touch? There will be a unique taste and smell to that intention. Let it take full sensual shape in your imagination and let it stretch out into your life and take root. As it roots, so will the enthusiasm that will feed its growth. Try it!

Blessings,

Holy Fire Karuna Reiki Master & Empowerment Coach

Exciting New Additions at Luminessence

Hello All,

We are very excited to announce that we are now offering Amethyst ( FIR) Therapy Sessions as a stand alone treatment or as an add on to any of our healing services. Enjoy a 30 minute bio-therapy session in our private healing suite and experience the immediate benefits of this scientifically backed therapeutic treatment.

Book your session ahead of time for the low price of $20.00 or as an add on to any of our therapy session at the discounted price of $10.00. It is recommended that for maintaining optimal health the Amethyst far infrared bio-mat should be used up to three times a week for thirty minute sessions.

What are far infrared rays?

Far infrared rays are part of the electro-magnetic light spectrum and are close to the light frequency of natural sunlight.  However, far infrared does not contain any of sunlight’s harmful UV/UVB radiation. The beneficial properties of far infrared light have received particular attention from the scientific community in recent years, although the first research conducted on this part of the light spectrum was undertaken by NASA decades ago.  Today, health practitioners from a wide range of disciplines agree on the beneficial properties of far infrared technology.


How does amethyst quartz enhance ionic and far infrared ray therapy?

Amethyst’s healing properties have been acknowledged and celebrated for centuries by ancient scientists, healers and others.  Now, modern science has confirmed the highly conductive properties of this remarkable mineral.  Amethyst crystals offer the most consistent and powerful delivery of far infrared light waves, and ionic effects to the human body.

What specific conditions and symptoms can the BioMat treat?

Because the BioMat’s far infrared rays penetrate deeply into the body and promotes our natural state of health and balance, it can be used to treat a wide range of health issues.

US FDA’s Medical Device 510K indications for use:

  • Relaxation of muscles,
  • Increase of local circulation where applied

Temporary relief of:

  • Minor muscle pain
  • Minor joint pain and stiffness
  • Joint pain associated with arthritis
  • Muscle spasms
  • Minor sprains
  • Minor strains
  • Minor muscular back pain

Other benefits found from the BioMat:

  • Reduces stress and fatigue
  • Soothes and relaxes
  • Supports the immune system
  • Improved sleep (if associated with pain relief)
  • Reduced inflammation (where applied)
  • Promotes relaxation by application of heat
  • Promotes restful sleep for those with occasional sleeplessness

Fire Moon in Aries

Hello All,

Welcome April and a beautiful start to Spring!

Lots of exciting changes are happening at Luminessence! We are very pleased to now be offering Meditative Yoga every Wednesday from 4:30-5:30 hosted by Lisa Williams of Perfect Balance Yoga. This class is a wonderful mid-week reset for the body, mind and spirit. The meditations Lisa incorporates into the class are profound and inspiring. You can RSVP for these weekly via our Meet-Up link on our web page. The class is $10.00 with a reservation or $15.00 for “day of” drop ins.

On Monday, April 8th Diane Enderson is holding a class for those wanting to learn more about working with their personal energy. These classes are always popular and Diane covers a range of topics regarding energy each month. The fee for this class is $20.00, no RSVP needed.

Thursday, April 11th at 5:30 we have class #3 in our Chakra Series which will focus on the Solar Plexus and Heart Chakras! Perfect timing with April’s energy influences! This series is taught by Karuna Reiki Master Cai King and you can RSVP via the Meet- Up link on our website, as space is limited.

**Coming soon** We will soon be offering Crystal Bowl Sound Healing sessions in our brand new Sound Treatment room!!! Sessions will be customized and unique with options such as crystal layouts and light therapy available as well. We are very excited about this new addition to our service menu!! More information to follow.

As far as the energetic influence for April 2019: We have a New Moon in the beginning of April, the energy of this Fire Moon is going to bring challenges around the dynamics of family, partnerships and our jobs.

One of the reasons these energy fluctuations are brewing is because we also have Venus conjunct Neptune, which calls to us as individuals to remember the importance of personal care. Aries rules the Solar Plexus and our natural instincts surrounding trust. The conjunction of Venus and Neptune calls forward the maintaining of healthy personal boundaries and sticking to them! Trusting yourself to know what is the greatest good for you and for your physical and mental health!

We also have another influence this month which is Mars in the constellation of Gemini, my personal sign. This meeting of energies is all about talking and networking, a call to share with others our passions and truths. This is a great time to allow yourself to have those difficult conversations that you might normally avoid. Remember, when you trust yourself and honor your true feelings, soulful growth can occur. Personal growth and expansion of consciousness is the theme for April. Go ahead and stand up for yourself and the things you have been waiting to say!

That all being said, I have included a video below on the dangers of 5G cell towers being introduced into our communities. EMF pollution and the damage it does to all living things is something that I am passionate about and hope to educate others in hopes that a unified voice might inspire change! I have also included a link to the site where you can sign a petition against the introduction of 5G on a global scale.

https://www.5gspaceappeal.org/the-appeal

If you would like to sign the petition and see additional information regarding 5G, PLEASE USE THE LINK ABOVE

Thank you so much for tuning in!

Remember, Let YOUR Light Shine : )

With Love,

Kate

The Full Snow Super Moon.

This evening under a crisp night sky the moon moves into perigee, its closest position to the Earth, for a second time this year!
This full moon is at zero degrees of Virgo and represents a time of deeper awakening.
For many, we may feel hit by a sudden awareness, a spotlight of energy focused on helping us to feel aspects of our inner-knowing, previously easy to ignore.

https://www.collective-evolution.com/2019/02/18/supermoon-in-virgo-balancing-practical-matters-with-idealism

This Lunar cycle is occurring on a Virgo/Pisces axis, reminding us to honor the fragile balance between light and dark forces. During this time many are experiencing the illumination of vast aspects of our multidimensional souls.

Symbolically Pisces is represented by two fish swimming opposite one another, a reminder of the ever changing interplay that light and dark forces have upon one another. This time brings forward an awaking of awareness, and it is during such times many feel they are in a crisis of consciousness.

With the full moon shining on the water element of Pisces, we are called to reflect on the trails and tribulations that have carried us this far. We are also reminded to honor and celebrate our hard work and perseverance that brought us here; to where were are today. At the same time, Virgo’s influence begs us to find a way to blend our day-to-day routines with our ever-present spiritual needs and nature. Physical health issues may come to light at this time. The disharmony of the moment vs. our knowing of our infinite-self is an aspect to focus on during this full moon.

February’s full moon is also know as the “wolf moon” or the” full hunger” moon. It’s energy reflects on the surface of waters that hold the darkest depths of our souls.

It is in these depths that lie our deepest hidden fears and buried emotions. It is upon these same waters that this moon shines it’s light, bringing old hindrances forward and self-imposed limitations to the surface.

We are ready to move forward unburdened. Lifting these heavy feelings and thoughts into the healing light of the moon. Lifting these limitations allows us to move forward to a clearer, brighter, more balanced future.

Are there things that have constantly held you back in the past? Limitations of self that you have believed were a life sentence? Energy of lack that has held you back from being all that you were always destined to become? The time is ripe to change these old patterns and to move into a more balanced consciousness here on Earth.

Many are feeling an aspect of: Do It Now, time is running out. It is an eyes-wide-open sense, where we will be receiving strong messages of intuition. These feelings are being called to the surface after a period earlier this year where we felt stuck or constantly boxed into frustrating situations.



Go within. The Light of YOU is waiting there.

This “illumination” is showing us any imbalances between work and service, criticism and acceptance. The vast shades of grey in an ever-diminishing right-or-wrong collective.

It is time to express yourself! Stand up proud. Be you! Open your eyes wide to the world around you. Release old fears and trappings of the heart. Swim freely. Float through the hard times knowing that the way is here to carry you. To support you. Trust that the path will find those who are ready.

With Love and Light,

Kate Robb

New Moon in Aquarius

The Winds of Change are upon us!

Hello All,

I hope everyone is enjoying this stormy weather as much as I am! Tornado warnings aside!

Speaking of storms, this New Moon energy is ushering in some big winds of change! The energetic themes for February are all about self-love and self-care. Monday’s New Moon asks us to stand up in our divine truths and to stop making excuses for behaviors and old patterns that can no longer be tolerated. The balances of power both internally and externally are moving us towards drastic shifts in our consciousness.

We also have a square happening in the sun signs of Pluto, Uranus and Mars. This square energy is asking for us to find better ways of resolving our problems. When planets square each other we can feel like we are in an energetic tug -of- war. In this case the energy theme of the planets demand a purge, a purification of our limiting beliefs and reactive emotional responses. A reset point if you will. A tidal wave of change to clean up these old patterns and life themes so many of us habitually practice. With these planetary influences demanding so many changes, it is easy to see how the internal shadow aspects of our personalities will be stirring up emotions such as anger, irritation and determined willfulness. Oh boy…. stormy skies are indeed ahead. https://astrostyle.com/aspects/square/

As Chiron moves into the sign of Aries mid February a new cycle of change and awakening is upon us. The time is now for clearing up any unfinished business from June of 2010. For the past 9 years Uranus has been in the sign of Aries which initially would have asked each of us to journey down our life path’s with more of the playful, adventurous energy guiding us. During these stormy times a resurfacing of our truths is ultimately the theme of February with the Uranus square Pluto return. At this time Mars has also joined the party so get ready for some fireworks. Now is the time for planting the seeds for a greater good! Use this new moon energy to find where you fit into the bigger, better picture of tomorrow.

Stay tuned for our February massage specials and our upcoming  new and improved class schedule  here at Luminessence!

With so much Love,

Kate

A Total Eclipse of the Moon

I write to you this evening, the 20th of January. Tonight I sit listening to the waves crash against the rocky shore of the California coast. A cool ocean breeze whispers music to my soul. This clear dark sky sets the perfect back drop for a blanket of stars, which showcase this wonderful, radiant moon that shines over the ocean.

Oh how I have missed you!

Being in my happy place re-inspires me! Feeling the energy of this Blood Moon Eclipse in Leo, helps to brings me into a deep state of reflection. I am reminded. I remember my truths with gratitude.

I am feeling so very thankful and supported.

This moment for me is one of rest, renewal and joy. The past few months have held so much excitement and busy-ness. I have really been missing these moments where I am able to stop, reflect and check in on me…

The build-out and the whirlwind opening of Luminessence Healing & Health Education Center. The overwhelming craziness of the Holidays, and the excitement of the New Year that followed. I have to admit, while the last couple months held so many long planned dreams come true, I really felt like I was on a ride that might never end!

It is time now to reset, to revisit goals and to look inward, conversing once again with my internal landscape for the wisdom needed to forge ahead.

Full moons are wonderful reflections of the emotional states that so many of us normally keep hidden. While the bright light of a full moon reflects to us that these emotions must surface and heal in order for us to move forward. A lunar eclipse during a full moon amplifies this emotional energy and helps serve as a turning point in our lives.

This blood moon eclipse serves as a truthful and powerful reflection of ones heightened emotional energy. Reminding each one of us of the ways we are called to close one chapter and open another.

This full moon happens to be in the constellation Leo, during the season of Aquarius. This powerful combination of the Lion and the Water Bearer intends that for humanity there is to be a deep stirring – a powerful unlocking of events that help us to better align with our soul’s destiny. Leo is all about self expression, while Aquarius wants what is best for the the group, or the greater entirety of humanity.

This time for many is symbolic of what we were working through previously in 2012. What lessons and truths will you carry with you as reference points as you make your way into year 2019?

This full lunar eclipse stands as a marked point in the sands of time.

A vector point that lays to rest that which no longer serves you, allowing clearer visions for the future, freeing you and supporting your continued growth as you to continue the climb.

As humanity races forward, what will your part be? Who are you, what is the legacy you were born to live on this planet? What makes you special? Each and every one of us is special, and what we offer each other is so very important. https://foreverconscious.com/the-cosmic-energy-of-aquarius-season-2019

Everyone of us has a unique and meaningful part to play on the stage of today.

It is my wish to see us moving toward a brighter future, one where we all care for our Mother Earth.

A time where we begin to see each other as valuable parts of a greater whole. This is the time that we are reminded to hold tight to the light during the storms that shake and stir us so deeply these days.

We are all feeling this line in the sand….. We are all being asked to stand firm in the truths that can no longer be denied. The time for positive, unified change is upon us. What do you bring to the table? What will be your markers of strength and truth as you forge the climb ahead of you? http://www.astroinfinity.com/current_inf.html

The planets align for us. Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Happy Eclipsing : )

With peace and SO much LOVE,

K-

WHOA, it’s 2019!

Hello out there 🙂

With a new year comes the desire to bring new experiences into our lives and with new experiences, new perspectives and new (and improved!) thoughts follow. One very new event we want you to know about is the opening of Luminessence Healing and Health Education Center. This community of multi-modality healing practitioners is eager to support you along your healing path through one-on-one session work, classes and referrals.

Speaking of classes at Luminessence: here are some ideas from my recent Grounding and Grow Yourself class:

Water is a sublimely grounding element. Healer Diane Enderson recommends holding on to the hose while you garden. The feeling of flowing water clears your energy while it grounds you (holding on to the faucet while filling the sink works, too) because we, as well as our planet, are made mostly of water. This act reinforces our symbiotic relationship with Mother Earth. Be mindful as you hydrate yourself, too, which increases the clearing, grounding, and replenishing nature of water.

Hematite is just one of the many crystals and stones that resonate with a sense of security and safety. It’s probably one of my favorites to sit and be still with. Interested in crystal healing? Check Luminessence for practitioners and classes.

Own your right to be here. Being grounded and present allows you to express this in the most balanced and healthy way. Nothing like a massage to fortify my feeling of self-worth.

Head to Toe special anyone?

Aware. Appreciate. Applause. A simple, but often overlooked technique, applauding, is a great grounding technique. Think about your favorite sporting event or concert: present in the moment, expressing gratitude, stomping your feet and clapping your hands. Now, do that for yourself. Really, I mean it. Close the door if you must but just do it. Tell me that didn’t make your heart crack a little smile.

Be truly,

Cai King Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master Teacher ~ Hummingbird Alchemy
