Testimonials
"I recently participated in Denise's Reiki Level II Certification class. I was very pleased with her presentation and attitude, soft and caring with each and every one of us. She helped us feel how valuable we were to her and the world. The day was filled with warmth and magic as many people transformed emotionally and physically. I recommend classes as well as private sessions with Denise."

"I began life coaching and Reiki sessions with Denise Sheehan in May 2010, and since then I have overcome problems and experienced great healing and transformation. Life coaching has been a wonderful compliment to my spiritual practices aimed at helping me to create a more spiritual way of life. Since beginning, I have uncovered negative thought patterns, especially self-critical and self-condemning thoughts, to be filled instead with peace, gratitude, and love. I have been lifted out of the tendency toward destructive perfectionism and out of a sense of burden, doing for the sake of doing, feeling, instead, a joyful sense of being. I've learned to set better boundaries and to express myself with greater assertiveness, spontaneity, honesty, joy, and love. I also feel a closer connection to the Divine and more empowered to express Divine light. I am ever so grateful to Denise for her excellent life coaching sessions; these are transformative experiences which have opened the way to healing and clearer directions."

Marilyn McDonald, Reno, NV - 11.30.10

"Denise, you have truly helped me to change my life. I am now empowered to live my true life and I owe this joyous beginning to you. Your healing power is going to change the world!! The best money I spent was getting coaching and Reiki from you! You saved my life in MANY ways and I would pay you double over again as money is irrelevant to spiritual health. So much love and gratitude!"
Kristen Ragsdale, Moses Lake, WA - 11.30.10

"I want to say thank you so very much for the guidance, light, and love as I began my study of Reiki with you this year as part of my personal development and growth. As soon as we began our work together, I could tell that your teaching was going to create transformational change around my life intention to be spiritually developing. You have a wonderful gift as a teacher and coach! Your style is accessible, non-judgmental and gentle. I am inspired by the talent you have for putting people and groups at ease, so that their individual styles and interests can emerge, and their learning objectives be met, in a safe space. As a coach myself, I am honored to name you among my own coaches, and to have the gift of you and all that you are so willing to share in my life."

L.P., Reno, NV - 09.08.10

"My name is Eric Gabrielsen and I would like to highly recommend not only coaching but coaching through Sage Spirit and Denise Sheehan. Life coaching to me is essential for growth and development in any area that seems to be lacking, lagging, stagnant in your life, be it physical, vocational, spiritual or emotional. I come from a background in counseling and mental health and really appreciate the forward focus of coaching, it's so refreshing compared to the focus of many therapies which is looking in the past.

"Denise is a very skilled, creative and forward-thinking professional who has helped me in my career search and time management areas, and helped me open my mind up to so many things that help round me out as a person. Because of her coaching I'm much more able to take a broad, calm view of any challenge and address it head-on. After my coaching experience with Sage Spirit, I feel I'm much more prepared to face life and embrace it's peaks and valleys. I am now much more able to climb quickly to find those peaks and to weather the valleys of life.

"I could not recommend her services more; Sage Spirit Coaching is a critical investment in your future."

Circle of Stones


I gather a circle of stones.


I am grateful to live in a place of natural abundance. At least a dozen species of wildflowers greet me during each walk. I've also grown in the habit of noticing the plentiful, powerful minerals that grace this place - quartz, obsidian, jade and others I cannot begin to name.



I am intuitively called to ritual each day:



* Sending gratitude, love, blessings, and Reiki to the earth


* Asking for stones to speak to me during my walk, especially those who would like to be included in my circle of stones to assist in expanding my spirit


* Noticing shapes, sizes, and colors


* Sensing how they feel to me and how they make me feel


* Talking story to myself during the gathering as if I sit with the circle of Elders


* Sitting by my circle after the gathering to place my new stones


* Meditating on the circle, sending Reiki blessings to the circle and all-that-is


Today I notice a freshly burrowed hole on the crest of a hill. A heart-shaped chelcedony lay kicked out by the new residents, an offering to me, a treasure. The heart appears nearly quartz-like, pristine white with a red slash from top to bottom down the middle as if to signify the two ventricles of a heart coming together in union. Feeling the hard, cool stone in my hand, my life begins to synergize into a whole I haven't felt in several days of witnessing the earth's and ocean's attempts at healing. I feel a flood of creativity enter into my heart and mind in a way that feels completely integrative.


I gather a circle of stones. They nurture me, inspire me, and feed my creativity. They call to me in my sleep, in my dreams, away from waking slumber and into life - awakening!



What new ritual calls to you?



What would your heart like to create? to integrate?

Power of Integration: Coaching plus Reiki

Don't ever think you know what's right for the other person. He might start thinking he knows what's right for you. Paul Williams, Das Energi


This is my secret about what I love the most about life coaching and Reiki. Neither one is about me. One of the most common misperceptions I've encountered about life coaching is that it's about advice-giving. Nothing could be farther from the truth! In my tradition of life-coaching, I ask questions that help others discover their inner wisdom. I may offer my own intuitive hits, but I do so without attachment that they resonate with others. Somewhat similarly, Reiki is spiritually guided universal life force energy. I don't direct the energy and it doesn't come from me. It comes through me, and though I intuitively place my hands in certain positions, Reiki knows where to go all on its own. It flows in service to the receiver's higher self, for the greater good of all.


I find this all incredibly freeing. When I practice non-attachment, I am able to release ego energies and influences so that I can just be with others. I am able to trust, knowing I am, s/he is, and all-that-is is in perfect order.


It isn't what you know. Stop showing off. Stop showing off. It isn't what you do. It's what you are that matters. Paul Williams, Das Energi


I am learning more and more about the incredible power of integrating life coaching and Reiki. Each of my coaching clients receives a complimentary Reiki healing attunement each month. We may intend that Reiki will help with head-, back-, or ear-aches and such, but often we focus more on life-balance, harmonious relationships, or empowering goals. Here are some of the benefits I've seen over the past several months:



  • Obtaining awesome jobs in a tough economy

  • Experiencing more free-flowing money energies

  • Healing earlier-life traumas

  • Creating harmony during significant relationship transitions

  • Opening the heart, allowing a free-flow of love energy in daily life

  • Experiencing more joyful relationships in all areas of life

  • Gaining clarity around life purpose and passions to fuel conscious creation

  • Creating more autonomy and self-assuredness to break unhealthy patterns

  • Experiencing more joy and abundance, laughter and love, light-heartedness and passion

  • Living with more integrity, according to true nature and values

  • Experiencing more depth of intuition, consciousness, inspiration, awareness and gratitude

It's all up to you. You are completely responsible for your life. You are the creator. It's an awesome burden and a great freedom. Paul Williams, Das Energi.

Conscious Community

Sunny and Myo
always conscious, fully present,
giving love
with a dose of mischief
~ oh ya, believe it ~
When you close your eyes and imagine Reno, Nevada, what comes to mind? Saloons, gunfights, and tumbleweeds of olden days? Quickie marriages and divorces? Slot machines and craps? Or winding roads to mountain lakes, crisp air, and ski slopes?
Or do you think of a place where people find encouragement to live intentionally, embracing love, integrity, courage, service, and respect? Or where people collaborate to create strong community ties that promote spiritual growth, cultural transformation, and a sustainable local economy?
We're all that here in Reno, and much more...
Conscious Community is a movement, building in strength and influence for several years. The goal is spiritual as well as cultural transformation. Embodied first in the way we live, transformation radiates outwardly into our families and into our social and work lives.
In February, I attended a Weaver Group training as part of the Conscious Community movement. I enjoyed myself thoroughly, exploring spiritual concepts and community development principles. Many of you know how these align with my passions. Mostly, I enjoyed the wonderful angels in earth suits who came. Everywhere I turned, I met smile after smile, loving hearts, and warm energy.
There I learned all about facilitating Weaver Groups, a grassroots strategy within the Conscious Community movement were we get back to the basics of our humanity by breaking down barriers that divide us. In Weaver Groups we connect heart to heart with one another and also with the positive aspects of our community.
Through this movement, and through our connections in Weaver Groups and in the community, we consciously create our community - one that supports and nurtures us, and one that inspires us to live in compassion and love.
Do you want more honest, authentic, loving relationships in your life?
Would you benefit from the support of others in your spiritual journey?
Would you like to see your community transform culturally, economically, spiritually?
Are you inspired to be a catalyst creating a better community?
If you are interested in joining a Weaver Group right here in Reno, please join us on March 24 at 6:30pm. Contact me, 775.970.5476 or denisesheehan@yahoo.com, for more information, or call Richard Flyer, the visionary and creator of Reno's Conscious Community, 775.851.2993.
Ah, but so many of my friends live outside of Reno. Bummer! Not really, because Conscious Community can come to you too. It works better when we spread the love! Richard has resources to help you get started, and I've listed links to some below.
I'm totally jazzed about Conscious Community. I'm ready to embrace transformation on many levels. Are you?

Being at Choice

Everyone asks me,
What's going to happen?
I don't know.
What will you choose to do?

Proterrian


During the Bruka Theatre's delightful Valentine's Day production of "Love Squared," a character in the scene "Breakfast One" demonstrated his obsession with food by creating a cream puff. He told of how he lovingly rises before dawn to fire his wood stove to bake the pastry. On stage, he dolloped custard sauce and fresh cream between the pastry slices, then dabbled chopped hazelnuts and drizzled hot chocolate sauce on top of the decadent creation. With my mouth watering, I mumbled, "amazing." My friend, Lucie, turned to her husband and whispered, "I want that." The character handed off his creation to a lucky lady in the first row just as intermission began.


When I returned from freshening up, Lucie was eating the cream puff! Lucky Lady returned the puff to Nicky's Bar, and Lucie's husband asked for it. "Wow, Lucie, you're a powerful creator!" I told her. I must be too, because she shared huge bites with me, each one creating an eye-rolling ecstasy. In that moment of joyful awareness, I realized how most of the big intentions that Dana and I shared during our New Year's manifestation ritual have already come to pass, even before Valentine's Day! Remarkable!


My friend, Tim Glenn, is a spiritual reader, metaphysical teacher, and sound healer (soulpurposereadings.com). He's also a channel for Proterrian, quoted above, who are a collective of ascended master beings who offer us guidance during these times of transition and transformation. Tim, Proterrian, and other spiritual leaders practiced in the Law of Attraction, tell us that we are manifesting our desires more and more quickly these days. It's important, therefore, to safeguard our thoughts, to focus on what we truly desire rather than what we don't want.


However, in these days of crumbling systems, economic downturns, doomsday prophecies, and overall uncertainty about how our future will look, many of us are frightened, i.e. focusing on what we don't want, and desperately seeking answers out there in the world.


What are you envisioning in these times of turmoil and transformation?


What emotional response do you have to your vision?


What vision would bring you more strength and joy?


What inner guidance do you receive about how to prepare?


This is a time to turn away from fear-based thinking and much of our old programming. It's time to open our hearts. Proterrian offers advice for any season, but it's particularly helpful now:


1. Come from a loving heart

2. Put one foot in front of the other

3. Walk in faith


What and who in your life opens your heart?


How can you be more patient and present in the moment?


Where do you find faith and inspiration within?


I notice more and more that my heart holds my passion to make a difference in service to my community. My heart serves as my compass.


My mind helps to create the path for my loving, creative expressions, as long as I don't give it too much control.


What my heart creates, I hold as sacred. What my mind desires, I hold without attachment.

Reiki for a Vibrant Life

What in the world is Reiki? Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is spiritually guided "universal life force" energy that promotes stress reduction and relaxation and contributes to healing. Reiki works on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels, restoring balance to body, mind, and spirit. Reiki also helps to remove barriers and challenges, while empowering goals.

People often think of "hands on" healing. It's different than massage, because it's not invasive. Light touch, or even just hands over the body, are all that's needed. It's super easy and fun to learn. Once we learn Reiki, we can offer it to ourselves and to others. I know first hand, the results are amazing. In addition to the huge benefit of healing from chronic illness, here are some of the benefits that I've experienced and shared with others since I integrated Reiki into my life:
  • Minimizing negative or self-defeating thought patterns
  • Feeling more bliss, joy and gratitude
  • Attracting more abundance, beneficial experiences and joyful people
  • Feeling more love and compassion for myself and others
  • Enhancing intuitive abilities
  • Relieving stress during times of external pressures and transitions
  • Accessing quick relief when feeling fearful, hurt or angry
  • Feeling love energy more deeply in day to day life, using that to guide choices
  • Feeling more connected to my life purpose
  • Accessing spiritual guidance more readily
  • Healing archetypal patterns (such as saboteur and victim energies)
  • Balancing heart and mind energies
  • Relieving acute and chronic pain
  • Clearing rooms and other spaces of negative energies
  • Helping others to heal
  • Helping others to transition from this life

Reiki has been nothing short of a transformational force in my life. In truth, part of me didn't fully believe in it when I first learned Reiki. Once I had nowhere else to turn, Reiki really pulled me along on my healing journey. For those who already enjoy vibrant health, what a gift to have the added preventative healing energy of Reiki in stressful times like these. How wonderful to offer healing, loving energy to our aging loved ones just by touching them.

How would you benefit from Reiki's healing energy?

With whom would you like to share the gift of Reiki?
