Fulfillment

Sat, 23 Jun 2012 10:48:02 -0400

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 for, all that we appreciate, will create a wonderful energetic feeling in our hearts. This feeling is fulfillment. In these moments we are fully filled with our essence, inseparable from the essence of all, which is love and light. We can then recognize, “This is the perfection of my being. This is the Truth.” And herein is the secret of life: This feeling that we’ve generated, this wonderful feeling that has required nothing but our imaginations to conjure, is the state from which abundance flows. It is not the other way around. We do not experience circumstances, acquire things, manifest situations, and as a result feel fulfilled. The delightful realization is that it’s the other way around. We can begin with the feeling state, the energetic state, and from that state of satisfaction, peace, well-being and love, we will draw toward us those things which support the feeling. In a society that encourages us to believe that things outside of us create fulfillment, knowing that abundance is a feeling and not a circumstance or a possession is very powerful. Awareness of this Truth allows us to relax. Relaxation facilitates flow and we begin to see Divine Abundance operating in our life, which cultivates further relaxation. We are now flowing effortlessly. We are now aware of the way in which the feeling state we have generated is creating a ripple effect to touch every aspect of our lives, causing thoughts, situations, and even other people to appear to us in a favorable way. We are now in touch with our creative essence, which has shifted from that of an unconscious Creator to that of a fully aware Creator, loosely directing our experience through our cultivation of an abundant feeling state that does not depend on people, places or things. This feels good, and good feelings will attract more good feelings, and so it is.

Pursuing Joy

Sun, 10 Jun 2012 12:16:31 -0400

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?

Tue, 29 May 2012 23:39:00 -0400

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 massage) toning, and visualization. The process is highly creative, empowering and transformative.

Testimonials on Healing Sessions

Sat, 26 May 2012 18:30:39 -0400

“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 everything in the world, but Reiki was still a great unknown for me. As a practitioner, Genna is caring, calm and confident. During the session, she was able to intuitively seek out spots along my body that I unconsciously reacted to - a change in breath, a change in temperature, and an experience of great movement even though my body was still. After the session I felt relaxed, my normal body pain was gone, and I was balanced. Genna followed up our session with an email describing her interpretation of the experience and I read it every morning. Her words are encouraging and full of tools that keep me grounded toward my goals. Thank you Genna!”
- Lauren, San Francisco, CA

“Genna Noma is an intuitive healer as well as a massage therapist. She gently worked out all the kinks in my muscles, joints and ligaments as well as worked on my energy centers. Time melted away and I wished that my session would go on forever. But all good things must come to an end. My body felt light and relaxed and my mind was clear, calm and focused after my session. A day later, Genna sent me a personal email to go over what she experienced during the healing and gave me some practical recommendations on self-care. I highly recommend Genna for any type of healing and any type of body work.”
- Tiki, San Francisco, CA

Testimonials on Reiki Classes

Sat, 26 May 2012 18:28:00 -0400

“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 teacher can do. Without that atmosphere, nothing positive can take place. Also, Genna has done an amazing job of writing a very accessible manual… Not something written by a person who lives on a mountaintop and doesn’t understand human struggle. I love how she personalized certain things; that helped to make it readable, interesting, and real. “
- Julie, Brooklyn, NY

“I loved the openness of Genna’s teaching style. It felt like any direction the conversation went, she was open to. I also loved how she emphasized that each individual’s experience is good and unique to them. It helped wipe out the notion that there’s a “right” and “wrong” experience. Rather, whatever each person experiences is the right thing for him/her.”
- Rachel, Manhattan, NY

“I knew nothing about Reiki before participating in Genna’s Level 1 workshop and was actually somewhat skeptical. But Genna was so enthusiastic, radiating love and light as she guided us through the exercises, that I found myself drawn in. I have already incorporated some of what she taught us into my daily life.”
- Natalie, Huntingdon Valley, PA

“I had no idea what I was getting into when I agreed to take the class… I was curious about Reiki, even though I had extremely limited knowledge about it. I walked into the class skeptical but with a resolve to have as open a mind as I possibly could. The class opened my mind and allowed me to feel less fear about the unknown. I enjoyed the hands-on experience in being healed and healing someone with Reiki. I’m satisfied with what I got out of the class. I would recommend it to anyone who is curious, or even skeptical and just looking to expand their horizons.”
- Amanda, Oakland, CA

Wed, 02 May 2012 01:22:06 -0400

“There is a famous saying: “If the mind is not contrived, it is spontaneously blissful, just as water, when not agitated, is by nature transparent and clear.”

I often compare the mind in meditation to a jar of muddy water: The more we leave the water without interfering or stirring it, the more the particles of dirt will sink to the bottom, letting the natural clarity of the water shine through. The very nature of the mind is such that if you only leave it in its unaltered and natural state, it will find its true nature, which is bliss and clarity.”

- Sogyal Rinpoche

Expansion and Discomfort

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:59:11 -0400

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 expectation that, having decided to allow Spirit in, we will have nothing but beautiful, transcendental experiences. However, the truth of the matter is that in the beginning, with all that there is to release in terms of thoughts and patterns that no longer serve us (and their accompanying lower vibrations), we may first experience discomfort. Growing can hurt, right? All of a sudden, we may be uncomfortable with our old ways of thinking and doing. Things that used to make us happy may no longer have the same effect. For example, ingesting certain things, engaging in materialism, or being around certain people may no longer feel that great anymore. This is because we are more aware of our energy and vibrations, and the discomfort points to the fact that we are outgrowing our spiritual “shoes,” feeling limited by them, and feeling out of alignment. This experience can be further intensified because of the speed at which the Universe is currently moving. Have you noticed? Things want to happen fast. So overwhelm can rise up and cause all kinds of strange sensations in body, mind and spirit, especially when our current “shoes” don’t allow us to run!

Sadly, we may judge or criticize how we have been in the past. This is unnecessary and anti-productive as it brings in lower vibrations. After all, my friend’s daughter didn’t get angry with herself because her shoes no longer fit. That would be so silly! The solution is to create new “shoes” by shifting our perspective to one that is bigger and by cultivating gratitude. We can afford to just allow and to celebrate the shifts we are creating by focusing on all that we love in our lives and trusting ourselves. We can effectively encourage a state of allowing by seeking silence or joyful states (things that genuinely make us feel good), going easy on our Selves, and requesting guidance from the Universe, our Source, and/or our guides. We absolutely can ask for things to be easier, slower, gentler… After all, we are the Creator Gods/Goddesses of our own realities! We can trust, let go and rest easy knowing that we will soon have some more suitable “shoes” to support us in our expansion and in achieving our wildest dreams. In fact, we can have them NOW.

What is Sacred Toning?

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:44:00 -0400

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 moment, and even well-known songs such as lullabies. The effect is relaxing, joy-full and moving, and further supports the effectiveness of the overall session.

What is Chakra Massage?

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:36:00 -0400

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 the energies brought in. A chakra massage is a delightfully balancing experience.

What is Spirit Guide Healing?

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:48:00 -0400

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 invite them to direct the healing process. This illustrates the co-creating relationship between myself and the client: Ultimately, the client is the true healer in the session, with me standing in merely as a channel, or “amplifier”. The guides will often bring in healing shapes, colors and symbols. They will also frequently impart messages for the client about how to empower their own healing, and may also bring in elemental energies such as crystals, plants, flowers, or animals. An example of the way a session unfolds can be seen in the session summary on this site.

What is Reiki?

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:25:00 -0400

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 developed. The system eventually became lost, and was rediscovered in Japan in the early 1900s by Dr. Mikao Usui. Since that time, it has spread throughout the world.

Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and promotes healing on all levels. It is very relaxing and comforting. Reiki is a holistic, natural and simple energy healing system that balances the body, mind and spirit on all levels.

Reiki is subtle energy healing. Generally a treatment is very relaxing and works on a deep cellular level. Reiki should not be a substitute for your chosen method of health care, but it wonderfully compliments all systems of health care, medicine and therapy. Reiki is increasingly becoming recognized as an effective treatment for many people around the world. It is even being implemented in western medical hospitals!

Reiki is beneficial and enhances almost anything. Reiki helps to reduce stress and pain. Reiki promotes deep relaxation and meditative states. Reiki energizes the whole body. Reiki helps to balance the chakras and to bring the body back into alignment. Reiki is preventative and helps to strengthen the immune system. Reiki helps to support the natural healing process of the body. Reiki strengthens intuition, mindfulness and awareness. Reiki works on all levels of the body – the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Reiki helps people to connect with their greatest potential. Reiki can be used with everything in life. Reiki is a beautiful gift from the universe and belongs to us all.

Session Summary Sample

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:51:00 -0400

Session Summaries are sent out to the client within 48 hours following a session. A summary will include:

Information about energies that came through during the session
Specifics about the healing that took place
Practical wisdom and inspiration that was channeled during the session including activities/practices/games that will assist the client, as well as supportive crystals, herbs and/or flowers that will help in healing and balancing the client’s energy
An introduction to any spirit guides that made themselves available to the client during the session

This example represents a typical Session Summary:

It was an honor and a privilege to work with you on Friday. I was able to witness the light of your being in all that YOU attracted to the session. It was all beautiful to behold! What follows is a fairly detailed description of what occurred on my end during the session, along with some guidance for the days, weeks and months to come. Take what resonates and leave the rest!

To begin, we brought calm and protection to your spiritual center, allowing for the release of any blockages to your spiritual expansion. We worked to ease any fears that limit your growth and the unification of your body, mind and spirit.

Using forces of Love, we brought powerful balance to your right/left brain hemispheres, allowing for the release of any negative thought patterns that no longer serve you. This work paves the way for a solid and stable mental foundation. The message is for you to cultivate patience and consistency, allowing things to develop in their own perfect time. All is well, all is perfect, so spend some time contemplating your innate perfection!

At the level of communication and creative expression, energies of the divine feminine entered in. You are encouraged to embrace your feminine energy and to express it vocally! You can further encourage this by spending more time out in the fresh air, receiving sunshine, and contacting water. As I mentioned at the end of our session, you might enjoy obtaining some turquoise to carry around with you. I saw it around your neck (a necklace with an oval-shaped turquoise piece was part of the vision) during the healing, but it can be worn in any number of ways, or just carried in a pouch or otherwise in your pocket. It will have the effect of overall purification, protection and balancing. It will support the calming of any anxiety. It will also promote self-realization, assist creativity and stimulate romantic love. It will additionally support your physical body by improving your absorption of nutrients, enhancing your immune system, alleviating pain and purifying your lungs. Considering all of the specific healing properties of turquoise in the context of the healing you wish to support, this vision seems right-on to me! Also, do you remember me mentioning about singing little made-up songs the way you did when you were young? Try it! Do it in front of the mirror. Make them happy songs about how wonderful you are, how much you enjoy and appreciate your life, and your dreams and intentions!

At the level of the heart, we brought in a whole lot of universal loving energy to promote unification of your divine Self. Again, it is time to realize your innate perfection! Support yourself by paying attention to your boundaries and patterns in certain relationships. Love yourself!!

We neutralized any instability insofar as your sense of assertiveness, intuition and inner drive. Cultivating your spiritual center will help to create more and more confidence in YOU and alignment with your divine purpose, allowing you to excel in your pursuits. In addition, there was a lot of feminine energy coming up around your ability to trust your inner knowing. The suggestion is to appreciate, with a sense of wonder, the mystery of the divine feminine within you, in particular as it manifests as emotion. Your emotions are your inner guidance system, allowing you to know when you are in alignment with your Source. It is possible to honor these emotions without having to deconstruct them. Any time you feel emotional dis-ease you may engage in those activities that lead you towards your joy, thereby shifting your state and raising your vibrations.

As relates to your self-esteem/self-worth and confidence, a lot of masculine energy entered in. Your outwardly-expressed self - the self that shines openly to your friends, family, co-workers, etc, was supported energetically with powerful Sun forces. Being out in the sunshine, as well as exploring and nurturing your sacred sexuality will support your sense of personal power.

There was some powerful release at the area of your hips. There were/are some lingering fears that relate to new decisions and moving forward in a powerful way. I believe this concerns your career shift! These fears were dislodged and may be easily released now! Know that you are in perfect balance and that you may move forward in life with joy and ease. The path you have chosen is correct! You can rest easy knowing that you are in alignment and will reap great joy and abundant rewards.

Overall, powerful energy entered in to support you in your resilience and forward progress/momentum. Your greatest tool will be your recognition of your Truth and your honest communication of that Truth. Nurture and celebrate your friendships. They will support you as the pillar of strength that you indeed are. You will endure challenges with their help and with your strong determination.

A number of guides made themselves available to you. They cannot intrude without your asking/welcoming them, so do not worry if you do not wish to invite them in or if you do not believe in this sort of thing! Should you wish to know them/receive their guidance, all you need to do is call upon them, ask them to reveal themselves to you, and listen. Ask strongly and repeatedly for them to reveal themselves in a way that is obvious to you and they will come to you in time in a way that is perfect for you.

As I mentioned after our session, Buddhist Bodhisattva of compassion Quan Yin reached out her hand to you. She is the embodiment of loving kindness and has some things to show you. She brings physical and spiritual peace, sustenance, wisdom, strength and divine powers of transformation. It was truly delightful to witness her loving energy directed toward you!

The Roman goddess Minerva also presented herself to you. She is closely associated with Greek goddess Athena and she is the goddess of poetry, medicine, wisdom, arts and crafts. In the context of your healing work and your musical gifts, it makes perfect sense to me that Minerva would align herself with you.

Perhaps in association with Minerva (for Minerva is often depicted with an owl in her company) an animal familiar (spirit guide in animal form) made itself available to you - it was/is Owl! Owl is here to guide and support you in your learning. Owl has come to you for other reasons as well. Owl supports wisdom, mystery, transition, and protection. Owl is a companion of healers - how perfect! Owl’s presence reinforces the strength of your healing abilities. You are a powerful healer and Owl knows it!

Remember to take especially good care of yourself for a few more days. Eat plenty of protein and root veggies if you can, and drink enough water. Do those things that make you feel happy and secure. Allow release to come in whatever ways feel right for you. I received strong messages about using Calendula (flower). I don’t know what that’s about! Look into it if you’re curious, and see if any of its applications make sense to you in your life.

It was truly delightful to work with you! Please know that I am here to support you should you need assistance as you integrate such strong healing energies. I am available day or night!

Blessings of Love & Light
Genna Noma

“The Compassionate Heart of the Enlightened Mind

It is the supreme elixir
That overcomes the sovereignty of death.
It is the inexhaustible treasure
That eliminates poverty in the world.
It is the supreme medicine
That quells the world’s disease.
It is the tree that shelters all beings
Wandering and tired on the path of conditioned existence.
It is the universal bridge
That leads to freedom from unhappy states of birth.
It is the dawning moon of the mind
That dispels the torment of disturbing conceptions.
It is the great sun that finally removes
The misty ignorance of the world.”

- Shantideva, speaking on Bodhicitta

which is unique from every other light.
I am here for you.

Growing/Remembering

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:46:26 -0400

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 been - this extraordinary, dynamic, wonderful being, always ultimately inseparable from our Source, who is revealed as the layers of our confusion fall away. We can therefore say, every day as we look upon ourselves in the mirror, “Hello there, beautiful YOU! How lovely to see you again!”

An Idea About Anger

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:35:20 -0400

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 point of strength and neutrality, you are providing them with a necessary service! And from this orientation, it is even possible to connect with joy that you are able to provide such a service for this person in this moment…

How’s them apples?!

Appreciation

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:56:41 -0400

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!
