I'm grateful to my friend Maureen for reminding me that this is Mōdraniht, or Mother's Night, on the eve of the Winter Solstice and the Yuletide season. With darkness functioning as the "cosmic womb", this is the time to celebrate and anchor ourselves in matrilineal energy and tradition. I honored all of the women ancestors in my physical and spiritual families with the lighting of my Winter Solstice candle. On the altar, the Advent promises of Love and Hope will sustain me during this time of introspection, rest, and spiritual gestation. 💜✨️

My favorite holiday market of the season is tomorrow and I can't wait to see you! Come on over to beautiful Pine Lake, where we will be set up inside up inside the Beach House for the Procrastinator's Pop-up! Grab some handmade gifts from local artisans and makers in a festive, yet relaxed space. ❄️ In addition to my holiday candles and gift sets, I will also have my line of prayer and meditation candles to support you through the Winter Solstice and beyond.

On this day in 1980, Reiki Master Hawayo Takata made her transition after a long and venerable life of service. Mrs. Takata was responsible for bringing the spiritual healing art of Reiki from Japan to the West, first in her her home of Hawai'i, and later to the mainland United States and Canada. During her lifetime, Mrs. Takata taught Reiki healing to thousands of people, and initiated 22 Masters, including her granddaughter, Phyllis Furumoto, who carried her legacy forward.

One of the things Mrs. Takata admonished her students was: "Let Reiki teach you." It can be hard to trust the innate wisdom and guidance of something we cannot see. Our rational mind wants to make sense of it, categorize and put it in a context we can understand.

But Reiki is more than just what we might define as a sacred energy. Certainly, this "God Power" as Mrs. Takata called it can always teach us a thing or two. However, as transmitted by Chujiro Hayashi and later brought to the West, Mrs. Takata gave us the gift of a spiritual practice that is simple, elegant, and deeply profound. The practice teaches us everything we need to know about being more loving, grateful people who show up for our lives with honesty and integrity. Our Reiki practice is what sustains us and restores wholeness to our body, mind, and heart.

Without Mrs. Takata's dedication, devotion, and vision, the healing art and practice of Reiki would not have spread throughout the world as it has in the 40+ years since her death. May her great bright light always continue to shine for eternity. Arigato gozaimasu, Takata Sensei. I am forever grateful. 🙌🙏❤.....

Forever grateful to Hawayo Takata and the gift of Reiki practice that she brought to the West and nurtured so that it continues to flourish. 🙏 (And thank you Justin for finding this beautiful photo of her!)

Hawayo Hiromi Kawamura Takata (24 December 1900 – 11 December 1980)

45 years ago today, Hawayo Takata passed through the veil separating this world and that of the ancestors, less than two weeks before her eightieth birthday.

45 years earlier (11 December 1935), Takata was attending her second day of Reiki training at the Hayashi Reiki Kenkyūkai, learning the spiritual therapy to which she would then dedicate her life.

Her 45 years of devotion to Reiki transformed the practice from an obscure Japanese healing art to one poised to become a truly global phenomenon with millions of practitioners worldwide.

If Reiki has touched your life or the life of someone you love, take a moment to remember this remarkable woman and express gratitude for her hard work that made this all possible 🙏

Rohatsu 臘八 literally means 8th day of the 12th month in Japanese, a significant day in Zen Buddhism. It commemorates the enlightenment of Siddhartha Gautama who became the Buddha, the Awakened One on this day. In other Mahayana traditions of Buddhism, it is known as Bodhi Day.

This is a well known Buddha in Japan located in Kotuku-in temple in Kamakura in Japan, belonging to the Jodo Shu sect. The Kamakura Daibutsu is a copper image of Amida Butsu (Amitabha Buddha), 11.3 metres tall and weighing 121 tons. Construction began in 1252 and he was originally enshrined in a Daibutsuden Hall but the building was destroyed in typhoons in 1334 and 1369, and then an earthquake in 1498.

"Gratitude is not passive: it is an active practice of noticing, of honoring, of refusing to take life for granted." — adrienne maree brown

Gratitude is our most fundamental spiritual practice. It shifts our perception from "me" to "we", and to the many gifts, lessons, and opportunities that are always present when we make the effort to notice and honor the abundance all around us.

We can grieve and also be grateful. We can struggle and also be grateful. I've seen people who have so much but are grateful for none of it, and people with so little who are grateful for what each moment brings them.

Gratitude is an inner lighthouse in the storm, a wayfinding for when we can't see what's ahead of us. It's a cool breeze when the air has been heavy and stagnant. Gratitude is how we cultivate inner peace from the chaos we experience each day.

May this day of abundance offer you opportunities to practice gratitude, wherever you find yourself. 💜✨️
