Thoughts for February
Recognize all the ways people are giving you the essence of love, perhaps in ways that you might not have noticed or acknowledged. Thank people for every gift of love they offer you. Do not rely on gestures or outer appearances as an indication of the love that people have for you. Rely instead on the feeling of love that exists between you.

Janice Whitty is an amazing healer and a close friend. I have known her for nine years in this life and for eons beyond that. She has one of the warmest hearts and gives the best hugs. And all that love translates into her amazing and wonderful healing abilities!
She has studied and practiced energy healing methods for over 15 years. She completed first degree Reiki; courses in Shiatsu theory & technique, anatomy, physiology, bio energetics & counseling skills and acupressure in 1991 and 1992. Since then, Janice has studied and practiced Reiki and is now a Reiki Master, Focusing, Polarity therapy, the Brennan Healing Science, dance therapy, Chi Gong, So Tai, and Jin Shin Do Acupressure, dream journeying, sacred sound, auricular therapy, and intuitive development.
Janice sees healing, not as something that needs to be fixed, but rather life in itself as a process or journey. Yet gratefully, she feels, whether positive or negative, there is something to learn from all people and experiences in life.With a heart-centered approach, one of her primary missions is to assist others on their journey. This guides and supports all of the healing modalities, courses, or wellness solutions she offers. Whether in a private (one-to-one) energy-healing session or in a group setting, a safe and supportive environment is created. I highly recommend her services. She is currently focusing on building her business and can show you how to build one too. You can contact Janice at 778.893.7191 or www.bluemoonhealing.ca

Lori and Steve Fields
Lori and Steve are a lovely couple who I have known for a number of years who live in the Lynn Valley area in North Vancouver. They are heart-centered, kind and genuine and offer complementary energies through their healing work. They most often heal together to amplify the energies and because they work so well together as a couple! I thoroughly enjoy their company and wonderful humour, as well as their astuteness and generosity. They are both Reiki Masters and Steve also works with crystals clearing, balancing and strengthening the chakras as Lori heals and senses the client's energy flow to create greater harmony and healing. Lori is also a certified counselor and often receives intuitive impressions and information for the client which she offers at the end of the session. Steve also senses energies and often shares his impressions of the energies and especially the energy flow and vibrancy of the chakras.
I have received Reiki sessions several times from Lori and Steve and their healing is powerful, relaxing and beautifully transformative. I always feel refreshed, balanced and any aches and pains vanish by the end of the session. Their intuitive impressions are rich and healing as well! I highly recommend their Reiki healing treatments. They are also offering a course on the chakras and more classes and circles to come. Please feel free to give them a call for more information and to book an appointment. And if you're lucky, you might be around on the occasion Steve has cooked up one of his wonderful curries or Lori any of her wonderful dishes; especially her pies!

His music ranges from playful to thought-provoking to deeply moving. He is currently recording his own songs as well as some meditations.

My experience of his Reiki healing left me feeling light and relaxed and pain free. And he brings his qualities of honesty, understanding, openness, humour and trustworthiness to his practice.
