Mobile Website Problems Corrected

Caring Palms has finally fixed the problems to the mobile website, and it is working properly now. This came due to some malware on the server where the mobile files are stored. Due to certain things that had to be upgraded, it has a slightly different look, but contains the same functionality. 
 
So, if you are using a small mobile device (phone, tablet) to access Caring Palms, everything will work correctly.
Consistent Inconsistencies
by Spirit and Brian Dean

We want to run, but we have to walk.
We want to walk, but the sign says don’t.
Do this, do that.
Don’t do that.
Forwards, then backwards,
Then forwards again.
Mindfully touching,
Skimming the surface,
Keeping boundaries.
Working with the best intention,
But not the fullest thought.
Helping, hurting, healing.
Happy, sad, energetic, tired.
Thoughtless, wistful,
Full of pain, full of joy.
Reaching for the stars,
Falling short,
Ending up among the planets.
Ups and downs, ins and outs.
We step forward on loose ground.
We fall.
We balance.
We move again.
The rollercoaster has ups and downs.
It manifests fear and, it manifests joy.
We step forward,
Assess the situation,
Make corrections,
Solve the problems.
We step forward again.
The universe is inconsistent.
And that inconsistency is consistent.
It is taunting us.
Making us think, making us act,
Making us decide where we want to be,
Who we want to be.
It makes us turn, it makes us spin.
It makes us learn, it makes us grow.
But more importantly, it pushes us forward.
Take a step, then another.
Follow along your path.
Learn, grow.
Be the best you.
And keep moving forward.
Featured Shirt of the Month
Since people do not see the t-shirt designs too often, a new shirt will be featured each month.
Reiki Class Schedule
Reiki Gold
Caring Palms schedules Reiki classes throughout the year. We are currently holding these classes at the studio because we have not been getting enough students to cover the rising cost of conference room rentals. We are also limiting the class size to 2 students (Reiki 1 and Reiki 3, with a few more allowed for Reiki 2 as we only need one table for that).

The following is a list of currently scheduled Reiki Classes. Each class requires a minimum of two (2) students to happen.

Classes can be scheduled any day (Tuesday thru Saturday) provided there are no other appointments scheduled.

If you are interested in taking a class, and one is not listed, please call and one can be scheduled.

You may sign up for any of these through the website, or over the phone with a credit card.


Reiki 1
  • TBD

Reiki 2
  • TBD

Reiki 3
  • Saturday March 23rd , 10am - 5(ish)pm

Reiki 4
  • Saturday April 27th , 10am - 5(ish)pm

More classes will be added based on how the ones currently on the schedule go.

All classes are open to anyone wanting to learn this unique method of hands-on healing. The cost for each class is $150 no matter what level of Reiki the class is for. A $75 deposit is required a minimum of seven (7) days prior to the class date (or permission of the instructor) to reserve a space in the class. Full payment must be received two (2) days before the class date. Classes with no deposits received by the cut off date will be canceled. All class statuses may be viewed under Reiki, Reiki Class Information, and Class Schedule. You can also sign up for classes there. (Check the website for the location.)

Reiki 1, 2, and 3 classes are Florida Board of Massage Approved for six (6) Continuing Education Hours (CEUs)
Faith Of The Heart
by Brian Dean
 
There was a song several years ago called “Where My Heart Will Take Me” written by Diane Warren (which was later used as the theme to Star Trek: Enterprise). It talks about coming through a journey, standing tall and moving ahead through all the problems that were encountered. And in moving forward, proclaiming that “I can reach any star” because "I have faith of the heart".
 
Having faith is a crucial part of what our being needs to move forward. We have to believe that we can do what we set out to do. We have to believe that nothing is going to stop us (“no one's gonna bend or break me”). Then, we have the ability to tackle any challenge, perform any task, or simply live the life we want, and be the person we want to be.
 
Having faith is the ability to wash away the negative, erase doubts, know that things will be fine. It is dreaming the good dream, and knowing it will happen, it will come alive. 
 
And this faith can be faith in a higher power, the people around you, but more importantly, it is faith in yourself. As I have said many times, if you don’t believe in yourself, why should others believe in you. 
 
It is following your heart, letting it take you where you want to go, and believing you can get there.
 
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
 
Yes, strength of the soul. Your soul is strong, even in the weakest moments, it has the strength to overcome any obstacle. All you need to do is reach up to it, and pull it into you.
 
So, faith. Belief. Trust. Strength. These words need to be part of everyone’s life. With them, we can reach any star.
Where my Heart Will Take Me
by Diane Warren

It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna hold me down

'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith, faith of the heart

It's been a long night
Trying to find my way
Been through the darkness
Now I finally have my day
And I will see my dream come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna change my mind
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith, faith of the heart

I've known the wind so cold, I've seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change
I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain
But I'll be fine

'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
'Cause I've got faith of the heart

I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got strength of the soul
No one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith, faith of the heart

Brian Offering Readings
Brian is now doing readings to anyone that wants to sit for one for $50 for up to one hour. Keep in mind, these are mediumship readings, not psychic readings. If you have an interest, please contact Brian and something can be scheduled. These can also be scheduled from the website. For more information on readings, please go to the Mediumship tab on the website, and then you can see several articles about mediumship including what to expect, and what happens during a session.
