There’s something about planting season—it brings hope, excitement, joy, peace…. Do you have any more thoughts and emotions to add? The last couple weeks have been busy with planting season on the farm—and every part of nature has woken up from winter and is full of life once again. Things are turning a beautiful green all around us!

We finished planting the garden this weekend. We usually keep an eye on the weather, and judge when to finish planting around the long weekend. This year it looks like the weather will be rainy for the long weekend, so it was good to get the seeds in the ground before the rain. Also, we plant seeds at the end of April that are ok in cooler temperatures. At the end of April we planted potatoes (4 different kinds), peas, lettuce, parsley, and dill. Today we planted zucchini, cucumbers, green onions, green beans, spinach, swiss chard, carrots, red onions, and yellow onions. Tomatoes have been started in the greenhouse and will be transplanted in the garden in a couple weeks.

☀️🌻Also, I was inspired to plant sunflowers this year. I always plant wildflowers and sunflowers in the yard, but I wanted more this year. 😁 So I dug up about 50 feet beside a fence outside the yard, close to the hay field, with the view of the mountains in the distant background. We planted a LOT of sunflowers. I hope they do well in this area and we will enjoy sunsets and sunflowers later this summer. 🌻☀️

Being outside is good for the body, mind, and spirit. And there is nothing more grounding than actually digging in the dirt. I encourage you to get outside, take your shoes off, and put your feet on the ground—and if possible, plant something. 🌱 It truly feels good.

I wish you love and happiness, ❤️ and until next time, enjoy springtime and being outside.

I am a Reiki Master Teacher, and I have always thought of Reiki and intuition as going together—never, ever separate. Recently, I was surprised to learn that some people think of Reiki and intuition separately.

This “news” to me described Reiki as:
-opening pathways in the practitioner to allow Universal Life Force energy to flow through the Reiki practitioner to the client—yes, I agreed
-placing our hands on or above the client to allow this energy to flow to the client—yes, again I agreed
And that was about it.

In my mind, I said, “But there’s SO much more! I know this, I practice this, I TEACH this!! It’s called intuition!”

Using intuition with Reiki is like opening an infinite wisdom that will guide you as you use Reiki on yourself, and others (including animals) to bring a richer experience to the client you are treating. As I teach Reiki, I teach intuition along with it, and inspire my students to “reach for the stars” as they gain this valuable tool to use with Reiki, and also in their day-to-day lives. Daily, intuition can help you decide which route to drive to your destination, possibly missing congested traffic along the way. It can help you in smaller decisions like which hat to wear for the day, or if and when you should take that trip to the mountains or the lake. Intuition takes practice, practice, practice, and will grow and develop the more you use it. It may feel bumpy and strange at first, but the more you use intuition, the more you will rely on it, and the more you will be amazed and grateful by this inner guidance.

I hope you all are feeling well. ❤️ Once again, winter has woken up the booklover in me, and I’m embracing this time. I love reading to study and learn, and I also love to get lost in a story for fun too. I am in-between my stories-for-fun books. I loved the last one, and am savouring it in my mind for a few more days. It will be time to start a new one soon. 📖 Maybe a Christmas story…. 🤔🎄 My study and learning books are in full-swing. Have you ever followed a “rabbit trail” of one book that leads to another book that leads to another book? For me, it’s kinda fun to see what shows up. Let me explain…. While I was watching a video, the name of a new-to-me author came up. Have you heard of Tosha Silver? I just finished one of her books called Outrageous Openness: Letting the Divine Take the Lead. I loved this book as you can see by my many bookmarks! She also has another book I’ve been skimming through called Change Me Prayers, it has some great short stories in it that are perfect for a quick read. And then, I followed another “rabbit trail”—in Tosha Silver’s book, she mentioned an author she liked, Florence Shinn, who wrote a few books from 1925-1945. I just started the first one by Florence Shinn called The Game of Life and How to Play It. The title didn’t really catch my interest, but the content has been great—exactly what I’m wanting to learn right now. I did not expect this line-up of books for the start of my winter reading, they just popped up and I took the nudge to follow the rabbit trail. Have any books popped into your awareness? The Universe may well be prompting you to check it out, and it will likely be perfect for what you’re wanting to learn, or read for fun right now. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next!

Happy Winter and Happy Reading. 😊❤️❄️

It has been a busy spring, summer, and fall. As I’m sitting here writing this, I’m watching a quiet scene out my window. It’s -7 C, there is snow on the ground, and it’s lightly snowing. It’s quiet, and there’s no wind. Our busy season has changed into a more breathable season. My mind has a hard time slowing down and making this transition, but my body says it’s definitely time to enjoy a bit of a slower pace. Life on the farm allows a slower pace, but it also demands a fast pace that leaves you exhausted. Seasons. My deep nature is to live in-tune with the seasons, though society pushes otherwise. On the farm, during every season there are always things to take care of, whether it is animals, maintenance, or just keeping things warm, but there is also a switch, when you are more inside than outside. Maybe that’s the difference I’m pondering, a season of inside, and a season of outside. We have been primarily outside from about mid-April to mid-October. Lots of things to do—a never-ending list. The “outside” season is full of hard-work, haying, gardening, outside maintenance, longer daylight hours, busyness, heat, colours, smells, sunshine. This is the time things grow and burst forth from the winter rest. Now, the time has switched, it’s time to be primarily inside, and dress up in lots of warm clothes to go outside, mid-October to mid-April. The “inside” season has lots of cold weather, less colours, working indoors more, less daylight hours, turning the heat on in the house, more time inside. This is the time to work inside, but also the time to read a book, or work on a craft—a time that offers more rest.

I hope I’ve offered you some thoughts to ponder of how your life can be more in-tune with the seasons, and enjoy the different aspects each season has to offer. It’s “inside” time now, so let your creativity flow as to what you would like to do for the next few months, and don’t forget to allow time to rest in this season.

Much love 💜, Tracy

My workshops have all the Reiki basics, plus a huge amount more.

You will leave my workshops with a head full of knowledge, lots of hands-on experience, a manual for each level, and ongoing support after the workshops.

Here is a brief summary of my Reiki Level 1 & 2 workshops:
What Does a Prairie Sky Natural Healing Reiki Workshop Look Like?

The Reiki Level 1 Workshop is a full day, from 10:00 to 4:00, and the Level 2 Workshop is another full day from 10:00 to 4:00. I usually teach both of these workshops in one weekend. The Reiki Level 3/Master Workshop is 2 full days.

There are a few things you should look for in a Reiki teacher.

• Check the teacher’s website for more information.
• Ask some questions.

How long have you been working with Reiki?
What training do you have?
Do I receive a manual and a certificate with the workshops?

Do I receive support afterwards?

• Notice how you feel about their answers.
• Are they responding in a caring manner that is supportive and empowering?

Come to a Reiki Workshop! The Levels of Reiki are: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3/Master’s, then the option of becoming a teacher. I teach Level 1 and 2 separately, and also combined. I teach Level 3/Master’s combined. After the Level 1 & 2 workshops you will have learned everything you need to be a Reiki practitioner, and if you choose, start your own business.  Reiki will fit your lifestyle and you can go as far with it as you wish. I also mentor/teach students who are interested in Animal Reiki, after they take Reiki Level 1 & 2.

Anyone can learn Reiki! I would recommend a young person who is able to say they would like to learn Reiki and be a able to read, up to someone 110 years young. 🙂 If you feel in your heart that Reiki is something you would like to learn, you should go for it! Reiki is a tool you can use on yourself, people around you, animals, and much more. You can use Reiki as much or as little as you want in your life, you always set the pace.
