"In November, the smell of food is different. It is an orange smell. A squash and pumpkin smell. It tastes like cinnamon and can fill up a house in the morning, can pull everyone from bed in a fog." —Cynthia Rylant
This newsletter includes a simple Reiki practice for forgiveness; introduction of a visiting healer at HHR; and the calendar of events for the month.
Some years you turn around and it's already the end. It feels like that kind of year for me. While I remember January clearly, I'd be hard pressed to explain how I got from February to November because there was just so much that happened, I'm not even sure I remember it all.
That said, November is a glorious month. Almost from its beginning, it promises laughter, good food, and love. For several years, Healing Heart Reiki would host a beach cleanup on November 5th because it seemed to be, without fail, one of the most beautiful times to be at our northern California beaches.
It's been years since we've done that but I can still feel the crisp air and refreshing autumn energy just thinking about it. I also have fond memories of curling up with blankets in bed and writing for hours as a part of NaNoWriMo, the movement in which people across the country attempt to write an entire novel in one month. November, of course.
What does November Mean For You?
We all have our personal associations with the seasons and months of the year. What does November mean for you? At Healing Heart Reiki, we've devoted this month to themes of forgiveness and gratitude.
In my professional healing practice I've seen over and over how people can become trapped, unable to move forward, because of deep seated emotions interwoven with other people. Surprisingly, those emotions run the gamut from anger and betrayal to obsession and passion. They aren't always negative emotions, but when they are so fixed within us that we can't see beyond them, we're drawn out of the present, and into past (or even future) energy.
In most cases, the people we've entangled with are actually just reflections of a deeper crisis of values or belief that we're having within ourselves. Part of what's needed in order to move forward, is forgiveness and release of something.
When we take time to slow down and put ourselves into a safe and nurturing environment, our nervous system unwinds enough for us to actually look at our fears, our relationships, and to let go of whatever it is that has put us into repetitive stuck patterns.
A Reiki Practice For Forgiveness
I've understood all of this for years, but sometimes even when we understand the theory and are able to enact it in small circumstances, we can still get stuck when something big happens.
I've seen a lot of energy healers fall into the belief that if they can't forgive everyone and everything, then they're somehow a failure. That's just not true! We're human. In the best of us, things come up in life and we have to work to find out humanity in challenging circumstances.
If you have someone in your life that you can't forgive, here is a simple Reiki practice you can do to support real change... even if that person you can't forgive, is actually yourself.
Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly.
Call in Reiki energy.
Breathe in through your nose and as you do, imagine Reiki flowing down through your crown and centerline.
As you exhale, imagine it flowing from there down through your arms and palms like warm light.
In your mind's eye, see the person you can not forgive.
Now see yourself surrounded by protected light, and whisper, “I am safe, I am soft, I am held in light.”
Exhale slowly, and feel the light creating a protective blanket around you.
Invite that light to heal whatever it is that has created harm between you both.
Now say, "I am open to the idea of learning how to forgive in this situation."
Continue with this mantra until you feel your heart opening to light, and then stop.
Give thanks for your practice, placing your hands in gassho.
As you close out, congratulate yourself for being open to a new relationship with this situation.
Sometimes forgiveness comes overnight, but it usually does so because we've spent real time looking within, and tending the parts of ourselves that are angry, hurt, embarrassed, ashamed, and afraid. We can't fully forgive if we're still stuck in the trauma of our life experiences.
In those moments, we need to love ourselves and give ourselves as much safety and kindness as possible so that we can heal to a point where forgiveness is the natural step in our evolving healing.
November is the perfect month, energetically, to welcome this combination of introspection and self-initiated safety.
I hope you'll join me, wherever you are, in meditating on your own shadows, love, and healing this month.
Around The Wheel We Go!
In the autumn of last year I began to invite Alycia Glaude to share some of her beautiful jewelry at our monthly Reiki shares. I love her creative vision with jewelry and I was impressed by the beautiful charge of Reiki light I could feel in each of her creations.
I loved having her so much that I invited her to be a guest teacher for 2025! So far, Alycia has presented 2 incredible Crystal Crown workshops in addition to having her jewelry available at our monthly Shares, and she is extending her visit with us through spring of next year, for some AMAZING NEW CLASSES! Including Wand Making and Crafting Personal Goddess Statues, all of which will be energized with Reiki!
Welcoming Alycia: Visiting Artist + Reiki Practitioner
I’m thrilled to re-introduce Alycia, our visiting healer at Healing Heart Reiki (somehow I neglected to do that via the blog this year!). She brings a grounded presence, intuitive touch, and a deep connection to spirit through both energy work and creative expression.
In Alycia’s words:“Healing, for me, is a collaboration between breath, body, and the unseen. I’m honored to walk alongside Dailey and this community as we create sacred space together.”
She’ll be available for select sessions and collaborative offerings this winter & spring. More soon!
🌟 What’s Ahead (and How to Stay Connected)
We’ve got more coming this winter, including Dailey's Womb Healing Workshop, the Reiki Share, Reiki classes, and more! If you felt something while reading today’s blog post, let me know: mark a heart, leave a comment, or send me a private message.
It helps me feel what’s resonating, and I love knowing you’re out there, walking this path too.
And don’t forget to keep an eye on the blog. I went through some intense personal changes this past autumn and I think more will be coming through the blog in these upcoming seasons.
Reiki love & blessings,
Dailey
