What is Reiki?
When I, Rainbow Heart Freedom Eagle, was in university, I saw a flyer that intrigued me. I normally wouldn’t go to strangers’ events, but there was a strong desire to find out what this natural healing energy was. I was the flightiest, most compromised wavering girl at the time. Some even called me a great big ball of anxiety. I had already received different natural healing modalities and therapies without really comprehending what they were doing to me, with me, or for me. Now, it was time for me to start my journey as a student healer. “Healer heal thyself,” is a common adage. There were teachers that didn’t welcome me as their student or their patient because I had already surpassed them even before I began. They literally declined my apprenticeship because their ego couldn’t take it. It even went as far as to receive psychic warfare and attacks from them because they were so jealous and threatened. This is operating out of the lack matrix. I digress, let’s return to, “What is Reiki?” It is natural and more prevalent than people realize that the younger generations are oftentimes more powerful, advanced, and evolved than their predecessors. Yet, we all still need each other. We all teach each other a lot indirectly, not just in an academic style classroom. Yes, there were other teachers I had that didn’t care about the ego’s insecurity of teaching students that surpass them, too.
A force, elan vitale, universal energy, life force, the breath of life, manna, the force—it has many names to many people. It can be love, faith, prayer, positive thinking. It can be used for the opposite, evil, though others say no it cannot.
Have you ever hurt yourself and your mother came up to you and cupped her hands over your body part that hurt? That is instinctually Reiki performed. That is our innate tendency to heal things back to balance, unless your into de-volving, like devils, demons, and the such. Do you notice when one is exasperated one will put their hands on their forehead? What body language tells you that someone has a stomachache? They put 1 or 2 hands of theirs on their belly. This is Reiki without a second thought, in the form of hands on healing.
Reiki can also be exhibited in multi-dimensional ways. Practitioners, like myself, perform long distance healing on patients. This is possible because energy transcends time and space, and so does one when one is more disciplined, understanding this concept. People pray for the betterment and upliftment of others and situations. This can be and or is similar to Reiki. It’s all a matter of perspective and various awaked-ness or states of one’s consciousness. People make Reiki prayer flags that billow in the wind. The intention is that whatever positive wishes and blessings paired up with the flag, it will be carried by the wind into the ethers to manifest those wishes. Hopefully it is used to heal, bless, and prosper. At least that is what I use it for.
I remember watching two East Indian sisters belly dance. I’m not sure if they were twins, but they were both gorgeous to say the least. One can see the life force energy in their faces, their auras, their entire beings. One sister looked more sickly and weaker than the other. The other was more radiant, stronger, obviously because her chi or elan vitale, life force was stronger. This is also Reiki one can read in these sisters.
Do you see how there can be many applications of Reiki? Prayer, hands on healing, faith healing, long distance healing, intentions, reading, they’re all interrelated.
People can feel distraught living with disease, believing they don’t have the power to take their wellness back in to their own hands. They can go on living in undesirable states such as fear, anxiety, and worry. Reiki principles guide us on mindsets and lifestyle that are conducive to peace of mind and wellbeing. It not only elevates your health, but your relationships, how you go through life with ease, grace, joy, appreciation or not. This is true abundance. One does not have to be a victim to circumstance. One can turn illness and problems into harnessing one’s happiness and personal power to maneuver through their life as their own captain masterfully maneuvers the seas.
You are energy. Everything is energy. Energy can be manipulated in the desirable and the undesirable. Reiki can be applied to things, conditions, and relationships. In a utopian and simplified form, one can say Reiki is love. If love is the answer to solving every problem, love every problem away til it’s whole, healthy, restored to balance again. Again, if you are a different entity that thrives on the opposite of love, like evil, fear, etcetera, then this perspective is merely the opposite for you. Then, there are the beings that are neutral and do not label or judge into the categories of good nor evil. So, you see, it’s all relative.
So, yes, Reiki is beaming energy from one’s hands onto another person to heal disease, maintain wellness, or even optimize vitality and power. It transcends time and space. It is also whatever your imagination can come up with.

New Danish Study Finds Masks Don’t Protect Wearers From COVID Infection
New Danish Study Finds Masks Don’t Protect Wearers From COVID Infection
A newly released study in the academic journal Annals of Internal Medicine casts more doubt on policies that force healthy individuals to wear face coverings.
Wednesday, November 18, 2020
Few issues are more contentious in modern American life than mandatory mask orders. And the debate is about to get even more heated.
A newly released study in the academic journal Annals of Internal Medicine casts more doubt on policies that force healthy individuals to wear face coverings in hopes of limiting the spread of COVID-19.
“Researchers in Denmark reported on Wednesday that surgical masks did not protect the wearers against infection with the coronavirus in a large randomized clinical trial,” the New York Times reports.

The study is perhaps the best scientific evidence to date on the efficacy of masks.
To conduct the study, which ran from early April to early June, scientists at the University of Copenhagen recruited more than 6,000 participants who had tested negative for COVID-19 immediately prior to the experiment.
Half the participants were given surgical masks and instructed to wear them outside the home; the other half were instructed to not wear a mask outside the home.
Roughly 4,860 participants finished the experiment, the Times reports. The results were not encouraging.
“The researchers had hoped that masks would cut the infection rate by half among wearers. Instead, 42 people in the mask group, or 1.8 percent, got infected, compared with 53 in the unmasked group, or 2.1 percent. The difference was not statistically significant,” the Times reports.
Dr. Henning Bundgaard, lead author of the experiment and a physician at the University of Copenhagen, told the newspaper the results of his research are clear.
“Our study gives an indication of how much you gain from wearing a mask,” Bundgaard said. “Not a lot.”
The Times notes that the research “did not contradict growing evidence that masks can prevent transmission of the virus from wearer to others”—but adds that the study’s findings are at odds with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which just last week endorsed the view that face coverings protect individuals from contracting the virus.
Two important things should be noted here, however.
The Times is correct that the study “did not contradict” evidence that suggests masks can prevent sick people from transmitting the virus to others. But the Danish study didn’t test for this; as the paper notes, only healthy people were tested in the experiment.
Second, there was never much dispute on whether sick people should wear a mask. From the beginning of the pandemic, public health officials agreed that infected people should wear a mask to reduce the likelihood of transmitting the virus to others.
“The masks are important for someone who is infected to prevent them from infecting someone else,” Dr. Anthony Fauci noted back in March on 60 Minutes. “When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet. But it is not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is, and often there are unintended consequences; people keep fiddling with the mask and touching their face.”
Fauci would later modify his position, saying he discouraged masks out of concern of a supply shortage. But he was not wrong that mask wearing comes with unintended consequences, such as people touching their faces a lot. (Watch the video below if you doubt this.)
CDC chief Robert Ray Redfield Jr. has gone further than Fauci, declaring in public testimony that “this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine."
However, Redfield’s assertion is not backed up with scientific evidence. As the authors of the Danish study point out, the World Health Organization “acknowledges that we lack evidence that wearing a mask protects healthy persons from SARS-CoV-2.”

The results of the Danish study undermine the assertion from public health officials that wearing a surgical mask can protect individuals from COVID-19 infection, but that’s unlikely to end the mask debate, which has become one of the most vitriolic issues in America today.
It’s worth pointing out, however, that masks were not a divisive issue until governments began mandating their use.
As I’ve said before, reasonable and persuasive cases can be made both for and against the use of masks in the healthy population. But by replacing individual choice with collective mandates, public officials have politicized the issue and polluted the science. For example, scientists have faced retraction demands on research that concluded mask-for-all policies were not based on sound data. Additionally, the Danish study appears to have been delayed because medical journals were wary of its findings.
Few of us—even medical professionals, it seems—are able to answer with any degree of certainty whether masks are an effective form of protection against the coronavirus.
Some see this as a reason to force everyone to wear a mask. Yet in reality, the uncertainty is all the more reason the decision should be left to individuals.
"All rational action is in the first place individual action,” the economist Ludwig von Mises once observed. “Only the individual thinks. Only the individual reasons. Only the individual acts."
Public health officials should not be recommending a preventative measure—let alone mandating it—without knowing it is effective. (In public health, this is known as the principle of effectiveness.)

OP-ED: President Donald J. Trump — My Message to Black America
OP-ED: President Donald J. Trump — My Message to Black America
By BlackPress USA -October 30, 2020
NNPA NEWSWIRE — “Since I became your President, I’ve fought for all Americans. Unlike the D.C. political establishment, which looked out for only a small group of elites at the expense of working families — my Administration is empowering all Americans with an agenda that puts you first, because I care.
In 2016, I had a straightforward question for Black Americans: “What do you have to lose?
Black Americans don’t have to ask what they have to lose in 2020. Instead, the question should now be, “how much more do we have to gain?”
As your President, I’ve done more for the Black community than Democrats like Joe Biden have done in 47 years, and we are going to do so much more. As part of our efforts, we’ve unveiled my second term agenda called the “Platinum Plan” for Black Economic Empowerment, to ensure even more Black Americans have the opportunity to succeed over the next four years.
The plan is built around the pillars of opportunity, security, prosperity and fairness. I’ve committed to adding 3 million new jobs for the Black community, creating 500,000 new Black-owned businesses and increasing access to capital in Black communities by almost $500 Billion to create an era of new prosperity and to finally close the wealth gap.
We are increasing access to capital and economic empowerment for the Black community as a way to build Black generational wealth.
I knew that I could do more for Black America than the Democrat Party has ever done because I am about action. In fact, it’s the Democrats who exploit the sympathies and trust of Black Americans with false promises and empty rhetoric.
Since I became your President, I’ve fought for all Americans. Unlike the D.C. political establishment, which looked out for only a small group of elites at the expense of working families — my Administration is empowering all Americans with an agenda that puts you first, because I care.
The unemployment and poverty rates for Black Americans hit record lows just before we were attacked by the China Virus. Wages are now growing faster than they have in over a decade, especially for blue-collar workers.
My Administration is fighting to stop illegal immigration, which hurts Black communities, protect school choice, giving parents more options to access better schools for their children, create new and high-paying jobs, and increase investment in low-income areas — these initiatives create unprecedented opportunities for long-forgotten communities across the country.
I was also honored to work with U.S. Senator Tim Scott to create the Opportunity Zones program established through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which has already attracted $75 billion in new private investments and created 500,000 new jobs in struggling, underserved communities.
When it comes to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), it was my honor to be the first sitting President to invite all HBCU leaders to the White House, address the HBCU Week Conference and permanently fund these important schools through the FUTURE Act.
I am proud that we also passed landmark criminal justice reform to undo the damage of mass incarceration. This is helping people, who in many cases have served harsh sentences for non-violent crimes, to have a second chance at their American Dream. This is widely viewed as one of the greatest bipartisan victories in a long time, and a testament to what we can achieve together.
When there was increased violence and deaths in Democrat-controlled cities, we started Operation Legend, after young LeGend Taliferro and we are seeing results. When lawless criminals kept looting, burning and destroying Black businesses and communities, I said we needed peace, law and order in these same cities to keep communities, and families safe.
In Black communities across the nation, there’s been a reckoning to the reality that the Democrats have failed them for generations. D.C. Democrats are happy to leave urban communities mired with failing schools, no jobs and lost hope while wasting time and taxpayer money on baseless and partisan politics.
The truth is this: Democrats despise my America First agenda because it broke up their taxpayer-funded gravy train that enriched their friends and families, shipped jobs overseas, supported illegal immigrants and continued endless wars while leaving Black American families high and dry.
I will continue to work with any and all Americans who want to Make America Great Again by bringing back American jobs, improving our schools, building safer and more prosperous communities and reuniting families through meaningful justice reforms.
When I promised to stand for the forgotten men and women of this country—whether they live in Chicago or Charlotte, Detroit or Dubuque, or if they are black or white—I meant it. And that’s exactly what I’ve done.
So, I ask you to examine my record and consider voting for me to continue to fight for you, as your President, for four more years.
