Windwalker Rising Spirals is an integrative mindset with the intent to balance the heart, mind, soul and physical and energetic body.  It is about reconnections, inner and outer communication and most of all, hope.  Harmonizing the mind and body energetically increases overall well-being.  It is about declaring our intentions to the world and to the Universe that we are whole, healthy, peaceful, calm individuals who lead abundant, happy lives.

I believe that at conception we are each given the keys to a kingdom—a kingdom that is our life.  Life challenges, both the highs and lows, exist to help us learn to rule our kingdom in a peaceful and balanced way as well as to cooperate with and interact with the kingdoms of others.  Along our path we meet many people and other forces that will try to take the keys to our kingdom.  We may find ourselves in circumstances where we attempt to give up our keys, or seek the combinations to our inner locks from outer sources.  But all this brings is more heartache, until at last we realize that though we must learn to discern those who mean us harm and recognize the many helpful tools available along life’s path, it is we alone who bring the ultimate balance.  We do this by learning from our experiences, until we are able to see clearly enough to choose each moment of each day.

To prepare my kingdom, I earned a Master of Arts in Counseling in 2003 and a Master’s level Certificate of Spiritual Direction.  I completed a professional internship at Compass Health in Snohomish County, WA in 2002 - 3 and am a Reiki Master Teacher.  I received my Reiki Master training in September, 2008 from William Lee Rand and became a Reiki Master teacher in January, 2009.  I earned a Level I/II Practitioner certificate in The Reconnection in November, 2008 and will earn an Acutonics Level I certificate in October of 2009.  I see mental illness as damage to the energetic self and as a lack of connection between the self, the Higher Self and the Universe. As an abuse survivor and a person recovering from dissociative identity disorder, I am especially interested in helping people with dissociative disorders.At Windwalker Rising Spirals, I am pleased to offer several services. 

Reiki Healing Sessions
I offer 60-minute Reiki sessions for the nominal fee of $40.  I also am open to trades.  Reiki utilizes the energetic healing energy of the Universe, combining my intention to help and serve and your intention to heal and balance your life.  Our combined intentions open a channel for Universal healing energy to flow into your body.  In summer months, I can set the massage table in the tranquil, forested area of my yard.  In winter, I offer my dining room area.  I intend to open an office outside my home in the near future.


Reiki With Acutonics

Acutonics is a healing method that uses tuning forks to help reconnect the cells, nervous system and the energetic system of the body called the Chakra system, to the Universe.  Combining Acutonics with Reiki facilitates the movement of stuck energy that can eventually cause illnesses in the physical, emotional and energetic body.


Reiki with Acutonics is $60 for a 60 minute session.



Reiki Attunement Classes

What is Reiki?

Rei = Universal love
Ki = Life force

Reiki is an energetic modality that has been proven to relax the muscles, slow heart rate, calm the nervous system and lower blood pressure.  Reiki I is hands on Reiki.  Reiki I focuses on healing the physical body.  The ethic in Reiki I is to obtain permission before sharing Reiki with anyone.
Reiki II is distant Reiki.  Reiki II focuses on healing the emotional self and in sending healing energy to any time or space. The ethic in Reiki II is to obtain permission from the Higher Self of the person Reiki is sent to.
Reiki  Master training teaches advanced Reiki techniques such as setting up a crystal grid and teaches students how to give attunements and how to teach Reiki. The word “master” in this case simply means “teacher.”  The ethic in Reiki Master training is to share Reiki knowledge with the world and to teach people about Reiki.

What is a Reiki Attunement?

Reiki is an ancient form of energetic healing that is passed from master to student. After a student has been taught the material in each level, the Reiki Master sends sacred Reiki symbols into the student’s Crown Chakra and Hand Chakras.  This aligns the student’s body, mind and spirit with the essence of Reiki. 

I offer Usui Reiki I, II and Master level classes at my home in South Everett.  If you’d like to attend an attunement class, please e-mail me at slverkriss@aol.com.  I schedule classes once I have three or four students signed up.

Reiki I
 
I teach Reiki I classes for free.  The Reiki I class takes about 2 hours for the class material and hands-on Reiki practice.  Reiki I classes are held on weekdays and some weekend and generally begin at 11 AM and go to 1 PM but can be scheduled for other times as well. Students are given a handout showing the Reiki I had positions.  Reiki I manuals are available online if students are led to do more study.  Reiki I training involves learning the history of Reiki, learning about Reiki, learning the hands on positions for Reiki and receiving the Reiki I attunement.

Reiki II

I teach Reiki II in about two hours as well.  The biggest part of this class is the idea of sending energy.  The Reiki Distant Symbol means “no past, no present, no future.”  The idea of an unlimited source of healing can be a difficult one for students so plenty of time is given for explanation and questions.
How to send Reiki, who or what to send energy to and uses of distant Reiki are discussed.  After that, we practice distant Reiki.
The Reiki II class costs $100, though scholarships are available and I also accept trades.
Reiki II classes are usually held on weekdays between 11 and 1 though weekends can be scheduled.  I provide several handouts for Reiki II classes. Reiki II manuals are available online (many are combined with the Reiki I material) if students feel led to do deeper study.

Reiki Master Training

Reiki Master training teaches students how to give attunements, how to teach Reiki, how to charge crystals with Reiki energy and how to set up Reiki Crystal grids for continuous healing energy to specific needs.  The main focus of this class is readying students to teach Reiki and share it with the world.
Reiki Master classes take 6 hours, usually from 9 AM to 3 PM on a weekday.  A light lunch is provided for Reiki Master classes.
Reiki Master training costs $300, though scholarships are available and I also accept trades.

**Please Note** 

If you have low blood sugar or need to eat frequently, please be sure to bring healthy, balanced snacks with you to class and please feel free to eat when you need to.  Though light snacks are provided, you are responsible for your own comfort, health and wellbeing.

Reiki Meditations & Meetups

I hold Reiki Meetups at my home twice a month, once on a Saturday evening and once on a Wednesday evening . Check Meetup.com for the S Everett Reiki in the Woods Meetups, for the schedule.
I write a meditation for each Meetup.  Below is a sample Meditation.

Reiki Spring Equinox Meditation

The Vernal Equinox is approaching, the time when night and day are nearly equal in length.  The sun is crossing the celestial equator, moving north.  The first day of spring is nearly here.

This is a time of balance.  Balance between night and day.  Balance between light and dark.  This is a time to consider the goals, desires and wishes you would like to achieve or have happen over the coming year.

As we begin this Vernal Equinox meditation, let us focus on our breath.

We shift our breath to deep, lower abdominal breathing by touching our thumb and pointer finger together.  Feel the breath entering through the root, sacral and solar plexus as the deep, cleansing breaths relax us deeply.

As we witness the spring flowers pushing through the earth, we may envision the achieving or completion of our goals in the new season’s bright colors.  This is one way we join with the restorative power of the Universe, by honoring a time for all that is new and all that is possible. 

Let us remember that the power of the Universe brings the changing of the seasons.  Let us open ourselves to the Power of the Universe to break the chains of habits or blindnesses that have hindered our growth.  Let us leap empty handed into that gentle Void, knowing the Power of the Universe will sustain us.

Let us remember that as the seasons are the balance and harmony of the solar year, the Harmony of the Universe flows through the blooming flowers, the unfurling leaves on the trees and bushes, the spouting of seeds and the abundant new life that heralds spring.

Let us remember our own inner balance—the Tower of Light that flows down from the sky through our crown Chakra, through our bodies and into the ground.  Let us remember that the energy of the earth flows up through our root Chakra through our bodies, into the sky.  Let this new season remind us that we are one with the light.  We are one with the seasons.  We are one with the Universe.  We are one with each other.

Let us remember that the love of the Universe is expressed in the bumblebees that pollinate the early spring flowers and in every change that we name ‘spring.’  As we bask in the Tower of Light, let us follow the Power, Love, Harmony and Balance that are expressions of the Universe.

As we greet this new season with grace, gentleness and happiness, let us drink in the abundance and promise that spring holds.  Let us begin to return to the present by touching all the tips of the fingers together.  Feel how the breath shifts to the ribcage.  Feel the breath as it enters through the solar plexus Chakra and invigorates the organs.

I ask the Ascended Healing masters to join us in our meditation and in the Reiki practice to follow.  I call upon Usui and Takata, Hayashi, Yamaguchi and Iris.  I call my Spirit Guides and the Spirit Guides of all who have come here to be with us as well.  If anyone would like to invite spirit guides, please do so now.

As we prepare to begin our Reiki practice, let us bring our breath to the top of our lungs.  To do this, fold the thumb into the palm of your hand, and gently curl your fingers over it.  Feel the breath entering though the heart and throat Chakras.

 I invite anyone who knows the Reiki symbols to draw them in the air, to fill this room with Reiki.  As we do that I will read Dr. Mikao Usui’s Reiki Ideals:

Just for today, I will not be angry.
Just for today, I will not worry.
Just for today, I will be grateful.
Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
Just for today, I will be kind to every living being.

When you feel ready, open your eyes.

Namaste.

Integrative Spirit Walks
The more we are able to connect to our core self and to the Universe, the healthier we will be.  These connections strengthen our energetic self much like healthy food strengthens our physical body.  Integrative Spirit Walks combine Reiki with listening to your angels ,  spirit guides and other spirit helpers to give you insight into your life.

Though I believe in angels and spirit guides, I follow no specific religious dogma.  My religious path is love.  My goal is the energetic health of all  people. The Universe need not be called by any specific name—It speaks for Itself.   I am like a cell phone, to help communicate messages the Universe wishes to give. 

What happens during a Spirit Walk?

    You are greeted with a calm, welcoming atmosphere—candles, soft music.
    Sessions open with an intention to the Universe of hearing Its messages, and the welcoming of helpful energetic spirit guides and angels.
    You will be invited to explore how the Universe is working in your life.
    I will not give advice, but will be an attentive channel to the leading of the Universe and will help you hear Its messages.
    You will be invited to examine how the Universe is involved in your life.
    The Spirit Walk relationship is confidential.  Information will not be discussed outside of the relationship.
    I will not name the Universe or define the Universe for you.
    I will help you to become more aware of, and communicate with your spirit guides and angels.

My main goal in Spirit Walks and in teaching Reiki is to help people become more aware of their physical, emotional and energetic/spiritual selves and to become as self- sufficient in all areas as possible.  I do not foster dependence or share Reiki with the intent that the student becomes attached to me.  I share Reiki and messages from spirits in the hope of teaching students to do the same and empowering people to help themselves and others.
   
If you live in the Everett, WA area and are interested in a Spirit Walk, I’d be honored to explore that with you.  Click here to schedule an initial meeting.  My rates are reasonable, at $60.00 per hour.  I offer a phone or e-mail consultation for free. For a consultation, e-mail slverkriss@aol.com. Spirit Walks last one hour.


Rune Readings

Runes are an ancient set of symbolic writing that have been used for centuries as intuitive tools.  Runes can be carved into rock, wood or glass and Rune card sets exist as well.  Runes are concerned with the energetic patterns of a person’s Life Path.  As such they aren’t used to predict the future.  They are used to help people consider the energetic path they created to arrive at the place where they are in the present and possible directions that path could lead them in the future.

An important aspect of Runes is the idea that karma is constantly changing and evolving.  Though the Runes are often carved in stone, your future isn’t!  Gaining the perspective to see how you have arrived at your present point can help you to change direction if need be or live more fully into life’s special moments.

I have been offering Rune readings online and at psychic fairs for several years.  I am available for private Rune readings also. 

I offer Rune readings for a donation.  As with the Reiki classes, my main goal is to help people become more self-aware and self-empowered.  I suggest people pay what they feel the reading is worth to them or trade equal goods or services. 

Heart Runes
I have developed a special form of Rune reading designed to reveal the overall energetic forces surrounding your life and overall life challenges and lessons.  This is called Heart Rune reading.  Usually I will pull just one Rune for this reading, and go into depth about the messages contained in the Runic wisdom about your life.

Heart Rune readings last about 20 minutes.  I include intuitive messages regarding the Heart Rune from your spirit guides and angels. As with the Rune Readings, Heart Rune Readings are offered for a donation. 

The Singing Goddess:
Weddings, Funerals, Renewal of Vows, Commitment Ceremonies

As an ordained minister of the Universalist Life Church, with the official title of Goddess, I am pleased to officiate at weddings, funerals, renewal of vows and commitment ceremonies.  As a nonChristian minister, I use nature-based ceremonies.  I also encourage participants to write their own vows.  I honor the beliefs of the participants and can tailor the ceremony to suit.

I also write wedding and faith-based songs that I have performed at weddings as a special gift to the participants. For a sample wedding song, click here.
