Embracing the Solstice for World Peace | From the Reiki Share
In this time of war and turmoil, when we can feel hopeless and overwhelmed, there is something we can do. Together, we can embrace the energies of the Solstice, move into a space of deep inner peace, and then send World Peace Reiki into the conflicts around the world.
Join us on a journey of light, reflection, in a shared effort towards global peace in 'Embracing the Solstice' where we explore the transformative power of inner and outer peace.
We will carry the solstice's lessons of reflection, hope, inner peace, and unity with us as we work towards a world filled with harmony, understanding, and lasting peace.
Together, we can make a difference.

Hi and welcome to the Reiki from the Farm podcast brought to you by me, Pam Allen Leblanc from Hidden Brook Farm. I am a scientist, a businesswoman, and a licensed Reiki master teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training. Each week in this podcast you'll be entertained as you learn about a wide variety of relevant Reiki topics, helping you become a more knowledgeable and effective Reiki practitioner. We caution you though, this podcast may also dramatically improve your life, and we are so happy that you're here. And so welcome everyone to this month's Reiki Share and this week's podcast. It's a really exciting one this week or this month and some of you are aware that when the World Peace Energy came in in 2020, it also came in to me in a, just separately. I wasn't exactly sure what it was, but this new energy came in and it came in. Before I realized that there was an energy also coming in to William, which he called the world peace energy and it came in with the properties and so on. And so even before we were aware of the world peace energy, I was guided to lead a podcast on peace. And another one during the World Peace Energy. So it was really interesting. A lot of you know, that just before our Reiki shares, I meditate on what are we, what do we need to talk about this week? And what I heard very clearly was world peace. And a lot of us are very aware of some conflicts around the world that are escalating. And there's probably conflicts that we're not as aware of because the news seems to report on just a few. But in either event today's. This podcast is all about finding true inner peace, and then extending that to world peace and I think today we're also going to spend a considerable amount of time sending Reiki together collectively as a group, imagining The world as peaceful and sending Reiki to that effect and bringing it about. Before we go too far though, I'd just like to let you know that if you want some help setting your goals, we have a Dream It, Do It goal setter workshop, December 28th, the evening. And It's a two and a half or three hour workshop, and the reason that we're doing that then is my daughter has asked me if I would help her. everyone with their goals, because she said, Mom, that's something you're really good at is setting a goal and accomplishing it. How do you do that? So I really had to think about it for a bit. And I realized, oh, there's actually quite a bit, this has been an involvement over time, and there's quite a bit to it. So I want to share with you not only my formula, but also how you accomplish goals And keep it balanced, like in all the different areas of your life. And I'm going to share with you even the the calendar that I use in case that will be helpful for you. I use a paper calendar. I'm old fashioned, but my brain just doesn't compute unless it's in front of me on paper for the calendar. For some things I can work from a computer but for a calendar I need to see it then and I color code it and everything but we are going to spend some time also just figuring out what your actual goals are and the difference between goals and tasks and dreams and all of that so I'd love to have you join us December 28th for that also in at the end of in The 18th of January, if you're around the Fredericton area, we will have a beautiful session that is a fundraiser for the Fredericton SPCA and it's on the Rainbow Bridge and how our pets feel about that and so on. So I'd love to have you join us for that. And then I've got a full range of classes coming in January including Animal Communication Animal Reiki 1 and 2 in Master, and Level 1 and 2 in Master, and then in February, Kaurna Reiki. So we'd love to have you join us for any of those, if they speak to you. And in January also is our Marketing course. It's three Monday evenings where Kathleen and I really, unpack the best of our marketing tips to try to help you save time and money with your own businesses. And if you've already been a part of that, but would like to attend again, you can attend for half fee. Lots going on. I hope you can join us. Before we go too far though, I just like to invite you to bring your hands into Gassho and just activate your Reiki symbols. So that they can be with you today, especially the mental emotional symbol, which really helps us understand and communicate to others. The distance symbol, power symbol, and if you have any master symbols or animal Reiki, just invite them to join you today. And today we set an intention. For this podcast, for inner peace and outer peace, one of the things I've been shown is that the world will always reflect what goes on inside of us. Our outer world will always resemble our inner world. So while there's inner conflict, there will need to be external conflict. And today we just form an intention to release all conflict. and move into a space of peace and love, releasing the belief in separation or that we ever could be separated from each other, from the earth, from the divine. And we say the phrase on the world peace grids today, May the followers of all the world's religions and spiritual paths work together to create peace among all people on earth. Aho Mitakuye Oyasin. And Namaste. Thank you. So friends, I'm so glad to see all of you here today. We have a wonderful turnout once again, what I know is a really busy time of the year. And I think it's so great that you turned out for you to do something for you to just take a little bit of time out and nurture yourself. And today this is a journey of light and reflection and our collective yearning for global peace as we embrace the winter solstice. And I just have a question in the chat. The goal class is at 6 p. m. Eastern time, actually, is when it starts. And so today we're going to step into an odyssey, a spiritual odyssey, looking for inner and outer peace. guided by the solstice's wisdom. Normally this time of year I do a solstice meditation and I received very clear guidance this time that we were to take the solstice energy and also the energy of the new moon that's happening right now and Use those to create peace for ourselves and for the earth. We also want to send our thoughts to our friends in the Southern Hemisphere who are celebrating their summer solstice as we celebrate winter solstice. And this just reminds us of our shared connection with the rhythms of this beautiful earth. The winter solstice is known as the shortest day and the longest night of the year and it has deep, historical, cultural significance. It's the point where the sun reaches its lowest arc, and from the solstice onward, the light begins to return in the northern hemisphere. This symbolizes rebirth and renewal. It's a time for introspection, inner transformation, and a time to contemplate the role of peace, both inner and outer, in our world. There is magic in the darkness and so as we embrace the darkness of the winter solstice, we discover a profound but often overlooked magic. It's a reminder that even in our darkest moments there's always potential for growth and transformation, just like seeds lying dormant beneath the winter snow awaiting for the return of spring. Our needs of wisdom and potential are nurtured in the quiet of the dark. So we can learn a lot from embracing the stillness and wisdom in darkness. It's a time to reflect, to let go of what no longer serves us, and to cultivate the inner peace that guides us forward. And as we celebrate the return of the sun's light, we're reminded once more that even in our darkest times, There is promise of renewal. This solstice teaches us that the light will always return, and with it hope and new beginnings, and it invites us to welcome the returning light into our hearts and lives to kindle the fires of inspiration and creativity. I love huddling up in the winter. It's when I can be most creative with my writing. And then we look at the southern, and hemisphere because while we embrace winter solstice here in the northern hemisphere, our lovely friends in the southern hemisphere are celebrating summer solstice. For them, it's a time of growth, abundance, and celebration as they bask in the full glory of the sun. And so this teaches us about the cycles of life and the importance of honoring growth and abundance. And you're heading into, as we head into such an introspective time, you're heading into a very extroverted time of friends and family and enjoying the beautiful weather. But as we consider these energies of solstice, the news all around us, I don't know if you've noticed, it's filled with chaos and destruction, wars, crimes against humanity. In fact, there are 32 ongoing conflicts in the world right now, ranging from drug wars, terrorist insurgencies, ethnic conflicts and civil wars. And the International Crisis Group tells us there are 10 wars or potential wars That we really need to keep an eye on this year, the Israel Gaza war, the Ukraine war, the Armenian war in Iran, Yemen, the Congo. And the Sahel, which is Burkina Faso, Mali and Nigeria. In Haiti, Pakistan and Taiwan, there are either conflicts or potential conflicts that there is a worry about them escalating. And in addition to this, we have gang wars and domestic violence. So what are we to do about this? As I was thinking about the state of the world today, all I could think of is a hymn that we sang at Christmas time. My mother was the choir director. And although I don't have the best singing voice, so I won't sing it for you. The hymn was, Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. And I thought, gosh, I, it was there all along. And amidst all of this, as we understand that our outer world will always reflect our inner worlds, while there's inner conflict, there will be external conflict, we're not helpless because we have Reiki. I always say Reiki is our superpower, and it is. In fact, in 1997, William Rand began placing world peace grids around the planet. These grids have the symbols of 12 of the world's major religions, which include Native peoples, Buddhism, Hinduism, Independent spiritual paths like science and so on, Christianity, Judaism, the goddess religions, Islam, Shintoism, all others including agnostics and atheists, Zoroastrianism and Taoism. Now, on this world peace grid, this beautiful grid, There are the Reiki symbols in the center. There's a crystal over top of the Reiki symbols. There's a crystal at each of the major world religions, and of course that includes independent spiritual paths, agnostics, atheists, and the words that, that Surrounded are just what we said in our invocation. May the followers of all the world's religions and spiritual paths work to create peace on earth, among all people on earth. And so he basically, in May of 1997, William placed one of the world peace grids at the ICRT Reiki Center in Southfield, Michigan, in the United States of America. He also, that year, placed in May of 1997 placed one at the North Pole. He might have placed the Michigan one a little bit before that. Then in December of 1999, he went and placed one of these grids at the South Pole. Now they're placed in an area on the North Pole. They were placed where they would melt. thE ice was going to melt. It was at the Magnetic North Pole, and he had a lot of difficulty getting there. There were snow storms. He wasn't able to get there at first, but eventually he did. Then in 1999, he placed them, he placed one in a fairly remote region right at the South Pole, where it was going to be, where he buried it in snow, and at the South Pole, the snow builds up year upon year. So again, it wouldn't be disturbed. He also placed one at the ICRT Reiki Center in Hana, Hawaii. Then in October of 2004, he placed one in Israel at on a wall that is believed to be one of the original walls that surrounded Solomon's Temple. And finally, in October of 2020, he asked Lena Takahashi to place the final world peace grid on Mount Kurama in Japan. When Lena took the peace grid to the monks that oversee the mountain, Her visit actually had to be rescheduled because of a typhoon, and so when she did get the peace grids there, when she took it there, it just so happened that was the week that they were all meditating for world peace, and one of the monks specifically asked to be able to place the world peace grid for us because he had spent his entire life meditating for world peace. And so he was given the honor. So Lena left the world peace grids with them for a month as they continued to meditate to world peace. And then they placed it for us on Mount Kurama. And In 2022, around the beginning of the Ukraine war or the conflict in Ukraine Holy Fire Reiki upgraded to what we know now as World Peace Reiki, the World Peace Holy Fire Reiki, and Basically, I'll just explain what happens with an upgrade. It's not that more energy is suddenly made available to us or what we're able to receive. So basically, as we continue working with the energy that we have, our consciousness expands, our connection to source expands, and our collective consciousness on the globe expands. And then we are capable of receiving more. So there is always lots of energy available to us, but basically what needs to expand is what we're capable of receiving. And as that expands, additional energies are available to us. And so there was an expansion of the energy in 2022. William shared that with us. in the month of April, I believe. And it showed up for me sometime in February or March in just independently in sessions with clients. And this beautiful energy it brings about a lot of inner peace. And even if you don't have world peace energy, please don't worry about it. Quite a few of us on the call here today do. And we will be using our distance symbol to send that energy to you. And I'll be using my distance symbol to send it to you. So no matter when you listen, or where you're listening from, this energy is going to be available to you in our meditation today. With all of these things in mind, I was just listening to a book which I really enjoyed. This book, Mike Dooley, Life on Earth, and in this book he's talking about the fact that thoughts are things. And so if there are wars, if there are things that are happening on the planet, it's because he talked about the fact that our collective age is, 21 and that the collective age of all the people on the planet. So we're full of energy. and enthusiasm, but we're also full of frustration and and so on. He said, Collectively, the weighted average soul age on earth today is about that of a 21 year old. Of course, some are far older and some are mere babes, but the weighted average would be about 21. You are therefore living among people with lots of energy, lots of excitement. Lots of frustration, lots of angst, and that results in lots of ugliness, but far more hope results in lots of beauty. And he talks about the fact that there's a lot of positive things happening on the earth today. Spirituality, without the need for religion, is at last blooming, he says, along with the requisite acknowledgments and deep understanding of your power and responsibilities, leading to a realization of your divinity. And he talks about the fact that although we're in a period of growth and resistance, the earth will continue spinning as old systems of religion and politics and economics, etc. begin to malfunction and they either will evolve or completely break down. And so he talks about the fact that in the unlikely scenario that resistance continues, of course, survival is tested. End. But he feels that it's much more probable that we will that we will ascend, that we will grow, we will evolve from this. And in fact, he talks about the fact that people everywhere are waking up. Never before in history have so many human beings been so concerned with the environment that even some of your giant multinational corporations are investing fortunes, vast fortunes to clean up past disasters and to ward off future ones. Never before have so many people clamored for and insisted upon common decency and respect to prevail in the world. Never before have lifespans so consistently risen as well as standards of living on every continent. And the fact that times are changing. So if we go to his theory that thoughts are things and when negative things happen in the world, it's because our thoughts are happening in that direction. What if every one of us today took a few moments to consider the areas in our lives where conflict exists and form an intention to allow Reiki to release the inner conflict? So I'm just going to give you A few minutes to think about where does conflict exist in my life and just close your eyes and apply Reiki to your heart and just ask for the truth. It doesn't matter why it exists, who's responsible, none of that, just where does conflict exist. And now I'd invite you to imagine, if you will, what your life would look like and feel like. Sound like, smell like, get really into this. If all conflict was released right now, take a few minutes to just get a clear picture. Ask Reiki to show you, what would my life look like if all conflict were released today? And just get a sense of how that would feel. And we'll take a few moments for that picture and those feelings and that knowing to really form in our minds and in our hearts. and in our beings, because we're going there today. Let's also take a few minutes to consider what peace on earth would look like. Can you imagine a world like that? It takes me to the John Lennon song, Imagine. Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for and no religion to imagine all the people living life in peace. Imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger. A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people sharing all the world. And of course the chorus. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one. So what would world peace look like? Let's take a few moments to get a clear image of it now. And together we may think it into being. In addition to harnessing the solstice energies today, the new moon is happening today. Right now, in fact, it started about 30 minutes ago on 1212 as we record this podcast. The new moon is considered a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. And in fact, the new moon today occurs in Sagittarius. So what that means, and you can't make this up, I had this talk already planned and pretty well written when I realized, oh wait, let's look up the meaning of this new moon. The new moon is in Sagittarius, which is an opportune time to imagine a better way forward. It invites the use of imagination and open mindedness to solve problems and overcome polarized thinking. I just love it when themes come together. You just can't make this up. This specific new moon is notable for its alignment with Sagittarius, which may bring a blast of optimistic, enthusiastic, adventurous, and outspoken energy. In fact, it marks the beginning of a new cycle, because of course, after this, we're even moving into a new year, focusing on goals that increase understanding, awareness, and the courage to expand. This phase is ideal for embracing change and taking action on new opportunities, especially those that align with the adventurous and philosophical spirit of Sagittarius. So basically, new moons are about initiation and beginnings, a time to set intentions, start new projects, plant seeds for future growth. It's an ideal time for starting anything new, whether it's a relationship, job, habit, or personal goal. They're also for reflection and introspection. This phase of the moon invites reflection and introspection. It's a period to think about what you want to achieve and to set your intentions. For the next month or the next lunar cycle, it's about renewal and rejuvenation, a time to rejuvenate your energy and clear away any negative energy or thought patterns that have been accumulated, like conflict, for instance, it's also a time to manifest desires and wishes, writing down goals or visualizing dreams during the new moon is a way to align your energy with the universe to bring your aspirations to fruition. And finally, it's about personal growth. It can bring a focus on different areas of personal growth, depending on its position in the zodiac, and of course, ours is in Sagittarius, as I mentioned. It's also about cleansing and setting intentions. This is a time for cleansing physical spaces and mental spaces. and setting intentions for what you want to grow in your life. So we're going to move into a meditation now to embrace the solstice energies, embrace inner peace, and then send external peace. We also will use Holy Fire Reiki, so I invite you to just make yourself really comfortable. Close your eyes and place your hands comfortably on your body, wherever you're guided, if you haven't already. And just let your breath guide you into a space of relaxation. And whether you're in the northern or southern hemisphere, I'm going to just invite you to visualize the darkness of the longest night right now. Just imagine the longest night of the winter solstice is surrounding you, but it's a peaceful, comforting darkness like the depths of the earth. where seeds await their time to sprout. As you breathe in, just feel the power of the darkness and the potential that it holds. It holds the potential for profound transformation and renewal. And as you breathe out, I invite you to just release any tension or worries, allowing yourself to sink deeper into this sacred space of introspection, and we're just going to breathe here together today. Now in this heart of this darkness, just imagine a tiny spark of light. This is the spark of creation when you became self aware. It's your inner light, the essence of your soul. It represents your hopes and dreams and the wisdom that you carry within you. With each in breath, just notice this inner light growing brighter and stronger. Feel it expanding, filling your entire being with its radiance, going out beyond your body, into your soul. This light is your guide through the darkness, your source of inspiration. It's infinite. And now imagine the returning light of the sun. As the winter solstice passes and the days gradually lengthen, the sun's warmth returns. Just feel the anticipation and excitement of this rekindling, expanding light. In your mind's eye, just picture the sun rising above the horizon, its rays touching the earth and warming the land. As the light of the sun touches your inner light, feel a sense of renewal and hope wash over you. In this moment, set your intention for inner peace and the release of conflict in your life. And gather that image of what a peaceful life looks like to you, feels like, sounds like. And we will all send Reiki, and if you have it, World Peace, Holy Fire Reiki to each other, now to empower our visions. And if you don't have Reiki, just open your heart and receive as you send love and light. And we'll remain here. As you move into a place, we move into a place of deep inner peace together. Holy fire, holy fire, holy fire. Open your heart and receive your authentic peace. You find yourself floating in the river of peace and you feel the energy of world peace Reiki just wash through you. Through every cell of your body and every part of your being, the angels and the divine animals are here, the brothers and sisters of the light, the enlightened beings. We're not alone. And now let us take a sacred 15 minute pause to make our intentions to send Reiki to everyone in a cocooned peace. Visualize a world free from conflict and suffering. See nations and people coming together in harmony, understanding and love. Can you imagine what that world would look like? As you send this healing energy to all of the people, and animals and energies and beings and thoughts, thought forms and so on that exist on the planet. I invite you to consider silently or aloud, let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me, knowing that your intention and your energy are contributing to the collective consciousness of peace as we together send peace. To the earth. And if you'd like, you can connect to the world peace grids at the North Pole, the South Pole, Israel, Southfield, Michigan, Hana, Hawaii, and Mount Kurama or Kuramayama in Japan. And you can also connect to the intention if you wish. May the followers of all the world's religions. And spiritual paths work together or come together to create peace among all people on earth. And as we return today empowered with inner peace, we consider once more what the world would look like if conflict no longer existed, if it were eradicated. Released. And we consider what our own world would look like. All of the conflict in our world. We're released and we know that it is done and we say thank you. And I say thank you to you for being here and for contributing to peace on the planet. Please know that you can return here any time, any time that you feel overwhelmed or hopeless at world events. You have the power in your Reiki hands to make an impact, to do something about it. I wish you all joy and health and happiness. Going into what for many is a holiday season. And I'm so grateful that we'll all be going into that season with peace in our hearts and in our minds, in our souls. Thank you for the light that you are in the world. And thank you for being here today. Namaste.
