Welcome to Reiki Essentials & Wellness

Reiki Essentials & Wellness, LLC. studio and Firefly Gift shop. I am always asked how I started my Reiki journey. After a lifetime of caring for small animals, then friends in distress, and then family members at the end of their life journey, Reiki was the next step in my journey. My Mother-in-Law was diagnosed with various cancers when she told me about a Reiki volunteer giving her a foot massage. I immediately wanted to be the one to be able to do that for her. Unable to do that for my beloved Mother-in-Law, I decided to volunteer for Hospice. I wanted to give back to the Hospice community as they had so generously given to my family with my Maternal Gramma, and again for my Mother-in-Law. Recently, I had a logo designed for the gift shop area in honor of my Momma. I named the gift shop area, Firefly Giftshop in her honor.

Now, about you. Your journey has brought you here for a reason! We are committed to empowering you on your journey. If you have questions about Reiki, Acupressure, the spiritual, the metaphysical, or Love Languages, we can help you. You may come to the Studio looking for answers. Quite often people say they found us "by accident." There are no accidents on your journey. You were brought to Reiki Essentials as an answer to your heart.

Maybe you need answers about your intuition. Maybe you are looking for ways to trust and empower your intuition. We can help you with that Chakra. If you are seeking ways to relax and de-stress, we can assist you with that as well. Stress is responsible for anxieties, obesity, sleepless nights, headaches, muscle tension, heart disease, and more!

If you are interested in an education as a Reiki Practitioner, you've also come to the right place. I have developed a thorough program for my students. If you wish to learn more about this great healing modality and healing system, Reiki Essentials & Wellness might be the place for you. As one of my students and Practitioners, you are nurtured, and encouraged on your journey. My classes are relaxed yet detailed. We take our time, over an entire month, to learn the history, the details and feel the energy. After your certification, your education with Reiki Essentials & Wellness continues through my Practitioner Nurturing program. You will continue to grow spiritually and mentally, having many questions as we continue our journey. We meet regularly with other Reiki Essentials & Wellness Practitioners to learn and encourage one another. No matter what your intentions are for your Reiki journey, you will be supported and nurtured on your journey. If you wish to continue your journey as a Reiki Master, we have a beautiful program for that as well!

We can help you with your holistic health needs, relaxation techniques, meditation experiences, your Reiki education, and so much more! Come to Reiki Essentials & Wellness and feel the nurturing and loving energy for yourself. We really do care about you.

A Christmas Welcome with Krampus

10/11/22 - We have not come up on Halloween yet. Heck, I'm not even done decorating for Halloween! However, the City of Waupun has "A Christmas Welcome" the first weekend in November, so we have to start thinking of Christmas, Yule/Winter Solstice! It's all part of my favorite time of the year, so I'm happy to think on such things. We add items for Yule and the Winter Solstice, as well as Christmas, but it's the Yule logs that I love the best!

This year, a friend of mine showed me a few of her art pieces. She is a magnificent artist! One of her pieces is a statue of Krampus. I asked her if I could borrow her Krampus for the holiday window decor, and she said yes!

A bit of Krampus folklore - Every year in early December, children in Austria get ready for St. Nicholas to visit them. If they’ve been good, he’ll reward them with presents and treats. But if they’ve been bad, they’ll get a lump of coal from Krampus. Actually, it was more than a lump of coal. Krampus is said to bind the bad children and drag them down to Hell!

Who’s Krampus, you ask? Folklore says he’s the half-man, half-goat who comes around every year to chase naughty children. Krampus is a character who comes from folklore in Austria’s Alpine region, where he’s been frightening children and amusing adults for hundreds of years.

Krampus and St. Nick’s other bad boys have their origins in Pagan celebrations of the winter solstice. Later, they became part of Christian traditions in which St. Nicholas visited children to reward them on December 5 or 6. Around that time, his menacing partner would also visit kids to punish them. In Alpine, Austria and some parts of Germany, this day was known as Krampusnacht, or “Krampus night,” when adults might dress up as Krampus to frighten children at their homes. Austrian men would get drunk and run through the streets dressed as the fearsome creature. Like Krampusnacht, the Krampuslauf tradition continues to the present day.

Personally, I'm glad I didn't live in Austria growing up!!!

Veiling as I do it. #veiling


In my journey, I have found that veiling helps me while I'm doing spirit work, shadow work, meditating, or just need to calm the energy surging through my head and body.

I don't use fancy veils, just some old scarves that I have or some pretty ones I found on sale at various places.

My Mom would wear head scarves when I was little. She would encourage me to wear mine also. I wish she were around so I could ask her if she was veiling, or if she just didn't wash her hair that day!

If you veil or choose to from now on, feel free to comment and tell me your thoughts!

Grief

Grief is a funny thing. I find that I will just start crying without any kind of prompting or memory. I have dealt with the grief of losing family members, but this is the first time I've dealt with the grief of a dear Friend. It's a different kind of grief.

Grief is the emotional response to a loss.

Mourning is the outward expression of grief. It's how we SHOW we are grieving.

Psyche Central says: For example, if you hear a song that the person you lost would have loved, that may evoke a grief response and cause you to become emotional. If you play that song in their honor, this is a mourning response.

I will miss my Friend and all that he had to offer us here at the Studio and Wellness Center, but we will honor his memory and keep moving forward with him in our hearts.

Why should you take our Sacred Firefly Reiki program?

Well, let me tell you!

Our Sacred Firefly Reiki program is extremely thorough! Whether you are taking the Family Reiki program or the business version, you will be thoroughly educated on the history of Reiki. You will also have a firm foundation on the symbols, their names, spellings, meanings, and uses.

Our Sacred Firefly Reiki program gives you many opportunities for questions! What Reiki is and is NOT. How Reiki flows, moves, helps, connects, and heals. Our program also gives more than adequate time for hands-on training!

Our Sacred Firefly Reiki program is more than JUST Reiki! We help you to become the version of yourself that you were created to be. This means that we will dive into your shadow work; we will journey into your spiritual growth through Theta healing, meditation, and supporting activities.

Finally, our Sacred Firefly Reiki program has a continuing education aspect to it. "Once a King or Queen in Narnia, ALWAYS a King or Queen in Narnia." ~Aslan, Chronicles of Narnia. Once a student, always a student! You are always welcome to participate in our unique Reiki Nurture program. Developed by Tyra as a way to connect and stay connected with her students, the Nurture program has been opened up to other Reiki Practitioners and fellow Reiki Master classmates of Tyra's. Our Nurture programs includes time to chat, connect, release, heal, relax, learn new things, work with our hands, participate in a Reiki share, make friends and colleague connections that will span the State of Wisconsin and last a lifetime, as well as time to eat with friends.

The Family program is $555.

Reiki 1&2 for business is $675. Should you choose to take the business portion after taking the family program, your $555 will go towards the business tuition.

Master Program is $875.

Are our prices competitive for the area? We have no idea, nor do we care what other Master Teachers are charging. We know what we bring to the table and how influential our classes can be! There simply isn't a good way to compare our programming to other programs because we offer such a vastly different program!

Payment arrangements may be arranged. $200 down will reserve your spot and is non-refundable. The remainder of the classes must be paid in full a week prior to class dates.

Small Business Support!

I don’t know them, but as a Small Business, I love this write up! We've been at it since August  2016! From Fb, Beer Money Pulling Team:

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business. 

Running a business is really hard. 
What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid back people. 

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store. 

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message or call someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages, emails, and phone calls.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work-life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner... All while being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend... it’s one of the hardest things you will try and balance. If you give your time, you will sacrifice financial benefits. If you strive for financial benefit, you will have to sacrifice your time. It’s just the way it goes when your business is relying on you to survive and you’re relying on your business to provide!
There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5 years.  If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses... and hopefully more of us will stick around!

Finding My Joy

It has been just a bit over 6 months since I made the jump to full time business owner. There was a period of decompression that my body needed. Both physically and mentally. Several of my library coworkers had their own issues with my early retirement. They kept reaching out, kept trying to stay in touch.... when what I needed was to be left alone. I didn't understand everything I was feeling and I couldn't adequately explain what I had been experiencing. I have the tendency to burn bridges. I think it's easier for me to leave relationships, and not remain in contact because we moved so much when I was a child. 

I jumped. I decompressed. Then, the holidays hit, the family was sick for a few weeks, elderly family members had a setback....and there was no time for further deep healing. Now we are just finishing up January 2022 and I've filled in my appointment calendar with events and ---- TIME FOR ME!

As I sit here entering a real blog post, not just a video fill in, I am filled with peace and joy. 

I felt a greater happiness than ever, upon retiring early and going full time in my Studio and today that joy continues.

Find your happiness Friend. If you need help, you know where to find me.

Blessings, Tyra
