A century since Reiki began its long journey across continents, cultures, teachers, and translations…
A century since it first flowed from one set of hands into another.

As a numerology 9 year, 2025 brought us to the end of a full soul cycle.
What began in 2017 met its final form in 2025.

For many of us, the themes this year echoed things that surfaced over the past nine years:

• patterns that needed ending

• relationships completing

• roles dissolving

• ancestral loops breaking

• karmic threads cutting

• inner children resurfacing

• shadows rising for integration

• old dreams falling away to make space for real ones

9 years don’t feel clean.
They feel conclusive.

This December, the energy is asking one thing:
Have you honored your endings?

Because beginnings can’t arrive where dead things are still taking up space.

As February unfolds, it marks a transitional period between the depths of winter and the early stirrings of spring. Even if snow blankets the ground, subtle changes in light signal the arrival of renewal. Spiritually, this month is about preparation, healing, and inner work. Unlike January's bold resolutions, February is about planting seeds of intention and nurturing them quietly. It's a gentle reminder to check in with yourself and honor your emotional and spiritual needs.

Over the years, I had been led by my shadow work to step onto the path of authentic healing. I didn’t quite understand it at the time, but it was a battle of ego vs soul. The wisdom I walked away with truly transformed my life and I share the lessons here.

Have you ever chosen a word to represent what you are hopeful for in the new year. As it is similar to a New Year’s Resolution, it is quite different. Maybe it’s a word or phrase you’ve heard numerous times? Perhaps a lyric to a song or its title?

Here’s some ideas about discovering your magickal word…

Create a ritual to honor the endings from the previous year and setting intentions for the year ahead.
