About me:

Reflect More, Risk More, Do More Things That Will Live On
After You're Gone

Hello, Alii, Aloha kaua!

My name is Lydia Smith-Lenardson. I am from the Republic of Palau in the southwest Pacific, http://www.visit-palau.com/ and have been a certified Reiki Master Teacher and practitioner since 1998. I am a current member of the Chikara-Reiki-Do Masters Group, and volunteer with a number of Yahoo healing groups: Divine Manifestation Energies, Drops of Hope, EssentiallyOurs, Huna Ohana, The Cure Drive, Lightworkers Germany, and the CATIRT (run by my Instant Response Group Leader of the Distant Healing Network, www.the-dhn.com).

I am also a featured healthy living blogger with the Wellsphere Health & Healthy Living community. http://www.wellsphere.com/YesWeCare.s?personId=96632.

My Profile in Japanese: www.passion4living.org/profile

Since my early childhood and through Reiki training, I have developed my innate talents of psychic sensing and often share psychic intuitive messages during healing sessions. I go where my heart and soul lead me and it's been an interesting journey. I also enjoy practicing Yang style tai chi and aromatherapy which I integrate with healing sessions. In addition to creating my own Usui Reiki Master Initiation, I currently hold certifications in 3 dozen advanced energy healing systems. Aside from a personal interest and curiosity in holistic healing, I wanted to share what I learned to help empower others. So I do that through distance energy healing for people and their households, including pets and plants on my holistic health website:..

A few months ago I met an owner of a holistic healing spa in Corona at a local business workshop. Well, we hit it off immediately and I was invited to consult there after the Grand Opening on April 9, 2009.

We had common goals in servicing people with health challenges who needed to find alternatives that didn't involve debilitating side effects, plus relieve emotional and mental stress, thereby improving overall wellness.

And to that end we are providing FREE SERVICES to the military. We hope to expand our Free services to those with major illness and injury with the help of charitable organizations.

For the general public, the First Visit is FREE so everyone could spend a few hours trying out the equipment and get a free demonstration session with a holistic practitioner - acupuncture, reflexology, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy...AND Reiki with Yours Truly.

I suppose this path of mine with healing began with my family and relatives, particularly with my mother's terminal illnesses throughout my childhood...

But I think what really inspired me and led me to my passions with music, dance, and art was my father and growing up in a Pacific island culture...It's in the blood! If I could only wiggle my pinkie finger, it would be wiggling away to the beat! Sway to the rhythm!!

My background in theatre and dance including Hawai'ian hula and chant have taken me around the world - mainland US, Hawai'i, West Indies, Phillipines, Hong Kong and Micronesia. I go where my heart and soul lead me and it's been an interesting journey.

Mau riul and a hui hou! (Until we meet again!)

There is no word for Goodbye
We just say 'ma uriul' (Palauan) or 'a hui hou aku no' (Hawaiian)
That means 'until we meet again'
We never leave each other
When does your mouth say goodbye to your heart?

Being a dark chocolate lover, I had been dreaming of and searching for some time The Perfect Dark Chocolate ...One that wasn't filled with sugar and processed in a way that preserved the nutrients inherent in the cacao bean.  And finally, my dream was fulfilled when I met 2 ladies who introduced me to Healthy Dark Chocolate.

 

One of them told me the owner of the company is diabetic who came up with the patented process and formulations. I looked up the research and history presented by Dr. Steve Warren and was pretty convinced. So I decided this was one worth telling people about.

7 Amazing Oils That Will Change Your Life

http://passion4oils.e7kit.com

I first began using oils when a fellow Reiki practitioner introduced them to complement healing sessions 10 years ago. Around that time in 2000 and 2001 I was undergoing cancer treatment and, combined with Reiki therapy and acupuncture, essential oils helped to improve my health significantly.

I have been cancer-free ever since.

I learned first hand how oils can calm, heal, and clear the mind and body of toxins. So now, whenever a friend or family member has any health issue (minor and major), we turn to these life-enhancing oils and supplements.

I hope what you've read has inspired you to experience the oils for yourself. Please feel free to share your questions and comments, I am happy to help and pass on what I've learned.

By trying the seven amazing oils in this Kit, everyone can have a life-changing experience feeling suddenly and amazingly better, and discovering the unique power of therapeutic grade essential oils: http://passion4oils.e7kit.com.

You'll get a Free Report on the healing benefits of essential oils. I've got another Free Report on Aromatherapy for Babies and Children along with a Free Resource Library and Training pages on my Passion 4 Oils website http://passion4oils.younglivingworld.com.

    There comes a time in your life when you finally get it.
    When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop
    dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your 
    head cries out... "ENOUGH!" 

    Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on.
    And your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice,
    you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet
    lashes you begin to look at the world from a new perspective.



    This is your awakening

    Always with Love...Lynn
  • Nov 23 2009 6:57 PM




    True love is a sacred flame
    That burns eternally,
    And none can dim its special glow
    Or change its destiny.
    True love speaks in tender tones
    And hears with gentle ear,
    True love gives with open heart
    And true love conquers fear.
    True love makes no harsh demands
    It neither rules nor binds,
    And true love holds with gentle hands
    The hearts that it entwines.
    ~Unknown~

    Once you have tasted flight ...



    you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,



    for there you have been and there you will long to return.

    There was a boy
    A very strange, enchanted boy
    They say he wandered very far
    Very far, over land and sea
    A little shy and sad of eye
    But very wise was he
    And then one day,
    One magic day he passed my way
    While we spoke of many things
    Fools and Kings
    This he said to me...
    "The greatest thing you'll ever learn
    Is just to love and be loved in return"...
    ~Eden Ahbez~

    I love you!!!...Lynn

    All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy;
    for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must
    die to one life before we can enter another.

    Wishing you a day filled with Light & Love..

    Nothing can match the strength of those
    whose lives have been shaped and forged
    through adversity and overcoming hardships.


    Such people fear nothing...

    O' Great Spirit
    whose breath gives life to all the world
    Make my hands respect the things you have
    made and my ears sharp to hear your voice
    Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
    in every leaf and rock
    I seek strength, not to be greater than
    others, but to fight my greatest enemy...myself!
    Make me always ready to come to you with
    clean hands and straight eyes
    So when life fades, my spirit may come to you
    without shame...
    N Luv...Lynn

    When you come to the edge of all the light you have, and must take a
    step into the darkness of the unknown, believe that one of two things
    will happen to you:


    either there will be something solid for you to stand on, or...


    you will be taught how to fly...
    ~Patrick Overton~

    Forget not love
    Forget it not.
    If thou shall forget everything
     let not love depart.
    Love is your life's meaning.
    It is the bringer of light.
    N Luv...Lynn

    Surrender
    to the real and go up
    out of illusion and darkness.

    See the ego fight as futile
    for it is and will cause pain
    as it struggles to remain
    in control.
    All forms
    of the world are passing
    all will go but what is everlasting. 
    When we are done with this run
    and The One calls us home...
    N Luv...Lynn
