Fulfillment
We can learn a lot about fulfillment by becoming aware of our Divine Self. One way to do this is to touch in energetically. We can get comfortable, close our eyes, breathe, and use our imagination to generate a stream of visions and thoughts that put us in touch with our highest self and cause us to feel good. Contemplating all that we love about ourselves and our lives, all that we feel gratitude...
Pursuing Joy
Consider that those things which bring us the most joy, (while bringing harm to no-one) are precisely the things that we need to be pursuing at any given moment. Life is not to be lived in drudgery and despair. Life is to be celebrated, and our joys and gifts meant to be followed with courage and focus. Any low moment can be made high by shifting our focus to something that makes our spirits sing!

What is Shamanic Elemental Healing?
Shamanic elemental healing is a dynamic healing method that allows the client to direct his/her own healing. Guided by a gentle, imaginative, uniquely-crafted dialogue, the client chooses aspects of various elements (including fire, water, wind, stone, plant and animal) to assist his/her healing process. Together we draw in the elements using a combination of light touch, (much like a light...
Testimonials on Healing Sessions
“I highly recommend anyone to work with Genna Giacobassi! She is pure light and love!” - Marla, Istanbul, Turkey.
“I recently had my second Reiki session with Genna Noma. My previous introduction to Reiki was from people who said it was “out there” and from an episode of Modern Family! I was open to its healing possibilities because I believe that energy constitutes...
Testimonials on Reiki Classes
“Genna created such a feeling of safety and acceptance - acceptance of where we were in this process and what we may or may not have been feeling. She validated everybody’s questions and gave very thoughtful answers. Because of that, even I felt comfortable asking a question or making a comment. I never feel comfortable doing that! I think that’s the most important thing a...

Expansion and Discomfort
My friend’s daughter is growing out of her shoes. They feel awfully uncomfortable to her, they are causing her to be frustrated, and there’s a simple solution - it’s time for new ones! She needs shoes that will allow her to move, expand, create, play and explore her reality.
This metaphor is perfect for our experience as we open to spiritual expansion. We may have the...
What is Sacred Toning?
Sacred toning involves the channeling of healing musical sounds via the voice. During a session, I may receive information about sounds that will be beneficial to the client. These sounds can include sacred tones associated with the chakras, established mantras from a variety of traditions, new and unique mantras that are specifically created for the client and “invented” in the...
What is Chakra Massage?
Chakra massage is a technique whereby the chakra in question is gently opened and “massaged”. There is no contact with the physical body during a chakra massage. The effect is to remove blockages, draw in supportive energies and soothe the chakra. Each chakra massage is unique and catered to the needs of the individual. After the chakra is massaged, it is gently closed so as to retain...
What is Spirit Guide Healing?
During a healing session, oftentimes a number of spirit guides, both my own and the client’s, present themselves to help guide the session. Metatron is my primary guide during sessions, and his healing works on a multidimensional level, using sacred geometry, codings, colors and vibrations from higher dimensions. In addition, I almost always experience the spirit guides of the client and...
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning “universal life energy” and is an energy which has always existed and is found all around us. Reiki is the force that animates all things, and is evident when you see a body in motion, a rushing river or a shooting star. The earliest recognitions of the energy can be traced back to India, Tibet and Egypt, where the healing modality was...

Here
I am here for you. Here to support you in your dreams. Here to hold your hand when you need it. Here to love you for exactly who you are. Here to witness your light, to celebrate your light, to champion your light, which is unique from every other light. I am here for you.

Growing/Remembering
On this incredible (oh wow!) life path, as we attempt to encourage our growing, it is important to remember that we are not moving toward becoming some mysterious person that we will someday be, some unknown version of ourselves that is better than we are now, some sort of ideal, perfect, “spiritual” person. Rather, as we grow, we are continually remembering that which we have always...
An Idea About Anger
To paraphrase something a wise friend shared with me recently: Sometimes people will dump their anger on you. For some reason, mysterious though it may be, they just need to do this. And it has absolutely nothing to do with you. If you can connect with this notion and remain neutral, refusing to absorb the energy, it is possible to consider the perspective that by receiving their anger from a...
Appreciation
One marvelous way to connect with joy is to find things to appreciate and then fully appreciate them. Is there something you love to look upon? Appreciation! Something you delight in tasting? Appreciation! A person who makes your heart sing when you think of them? Appreciation! Seek out these things and notice how your vibrations are lifted!
Ho'oponopono
Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian Huna spiritual practice, the way of inspiration. It teaches us to embrace reality as it is without resistance. It allows us to transition into a higher vibration of love and acceptance, knowing that all that is is perfect.
When “I” perceive something as a problem in “I” or other, inside or out, the method is to clean it or clear it...
All This Energy!
The current energy of expansion is so very powerful. It is moving us in extraordinary ways, propelling us forward. Sometimes we might not even believe how motivated we feel to create, enlarge our experience, and generally radiate our divine Selves! I have found that navigating these energies requires attention to balance and rest. There is a way to honor the pressing nature of our expansion in a...
An Experiment with Touch
Let’s try an experiment! Today, whenever it feels appropriate, let’s touch the person with whom we are communicating. We might hold their hand, hug them, kiss them, brush their arm, rest our head on their shoulder… Touch heals. Touch connects us profoundly. There is not enough touch in our society so let’s change that! Let us be unafraid to touch our brothers and sisters....
Take a Stand
When frustrated, discouraged, grumpy, sad or just feeling blah, remember we’re here to enjoy life! Life is not a battle and this experience/experiment here is not an obstacle course, even though it might feel like it sometimes. So take a stand! Decide to drop everything and engage in something that brings you pleasure. Eat something delicious and really savor it. Watch a funny movie. Read a...
Celebrating Brilliance
In this ever-expanding, infinite Universe, there is enough room for every-one, so there is no need for competition, jealousy or limited thinking. Everyone is special, everyone is a one-of-a-kind, enriching this entire experience of being. Everyone can be as dynamically creative as they wish to be, and when we encourage others to shine their light, without feeling threatened or envious, we are...
Reiki Affirmation
For today only:
May I feel boundless love and gratitude. May I be joyful and free. May I be humble. May I be honest in all I do. May I be compassionate towards myself and all beings…
Ode to Pain!
Sogyal Rinpoche taught me that a great misinterpretation of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy is to believe life is inherently filled with suffering. He explained that it is not life that is suffering but the way we choose to live life, with a tendency towards attachment to our thoughts and viewpoints, perceptions and feelings. Within this framework he teaches that although suffering is not inevitable,...
Adapting Gracefully
Throughout any day, we may encounter situations that cause discomfort. This usually happens when we resist what IS. Perhaps we hit traffic and get stressed, knowing we will be late for work. Perhaps someone reacts to us in a way that feels awful. Perhaps any number of expectations are unmet, leaving us frustrated and angry. Perhaps there is a loss of some kind that brings a sense of sadness or...
Deep Listening
Take the time to love someone today by being fully present for them. When they are talking, give them your full attention. Breathe deeply and calm your mind, so that you are receiving purely, without an agenda and without thinking about what to say next. Look into their eyes. Really hear what they are saying. Open your heart wide to them and allow your spirits to touch. Shine your light and share...
Detaching with Love
I would like to summarize a wonderful teaching by a western lama in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition named Lama Tsering Everest that concerns the subject of detaching with love…
When mental health professionals treat battered women, they counsel them to get angry at the abuser. They work vigilantly to teach these women to be furious, to understand the injustice, to take a stand. And sometimes...
Saying "No"
When we encounter people in our lives that reject us in our light, that dis-allow a flow of love, that trigger us to choose to feel awful inside, (for it is indeed true that nobody can “make” us feel awful) sometimes it is an indication to lean in and examine ourselves and the situation. But sometimes it is an indication to detach and say “no” to the situation. While we can...
Love is Available
Every new day, every new moment, is a fresh opportunity to line up with Source, and to connect with Love and Light. If people, places, things or situations draw us out of our center, we can recognize this as a feeling of dis-ease in our body/mind/spirit and choose to connect with that which brings us peace, ease and gladness. Love is available at all times! Let us hook into it again and again and...

Forgiveness
Forgiveness seems to be the undeniable theme lately. Do we realize, when we really touch in with ourselves, the extent to which we deny ourselves peace by withholding our forgiveness? Might we realize that forgiveness of another (or even more powerfully, our Selves) opens us up to love and ease and joy? Forgiving is therefore not at all a sort of “defeat” as some might perceive it to...
Finding What's Right
When someone frustrates us, and we use our mental energy to make them “wrong,” we ultimately feel quite awful in body, mind and spirit. We are resisting what IS and our egos are all tangled up in our experience. What happens when we instead use our divine creative energy to make that person “right”? It does not mean we absolve them of responsibility for their actions, but...
