Cho Ku Rei - Reiki Prayers Spirit Doll

As a Reiki Master and Energy Worker, sacred space is so very important to me. I find it essential to create spaces in my home that are comfortable, feel safe, feel nurturing, even healing. (Comfort bypasses proper Interior Design every time. ) I always chuckle when family and friends visit because they will navigate directly to every one of my personal spaces...in the living room, kitchen, even my studio/office. Yes, I do Space Clear and practice Feng Shui, so I suppose at the end of the day it's all about the Energy to me.

I utilize colors and symbols throughout my home - everything that is placed has an Intention.  I also have Prayer Altars, yes multiple.I have a formal one in the living room, but my more personal ones are in my Art Studio, Kitchen, and Bedroom - these being important energy centers for me. 

Over the last few weeks I have been creating some small Gourd and Clay Sculptures and Spirit Dolls, each with a focused theme, that can be placed on one's prayer altar. The newest one that I am sharing today is named "Cho Ku Rei", representative of one of the Reiki healing symbols. 

Cho Ku Rei in Reiki is symbolic for Power, Energy, and as an Amplifier. Often when it is described, it is defined as 

"Place the power of the Universe here". 

This OOAK (original one of a kind) Spirit Doll is an original sculpt of natural Gourd and Clay. I later used Acrylics and painted this petite dark haired beauty wearing a sage green dress with her arms held in front of her in prayer. There are subtle spirals throughout her dress, grooved in the clay. The Cho Ku Rei symbol is painted in purple, as a design on her dress. She is wearing a purple and green head wrap. Her eyes are closed in sacred thought. The sculpture sits on clay base that is painted purple with the words Cho Ku Rei on the front. 

She would be a perfect addition to a Healing Prayer Altar in one's home, but also welcomed in a Yoga space, a Massage Therapist's office, or at Reiki circles.

Triple Moon Goddess Spirit Doll Sculpture for Prayer Altar

There are times when we are seeking guidance when we know specifically that we are seeking wisdom from the Maiden, or the Mother, or from the Crone. There are other times when we have more difficult challenges to work through and we look to the Triple Moon Goddess in her entirety for sage support. In either case, I wanted to create a small sculpture to keep on a prayer altar that could reflect the embodiment of the Triple Moon Goddess AND  that could do so in a way that many Goddess  beliefs could connect spiritually. 

This OOAK (Original One of a Kind) Spirit Doll is a Gourd and Clay Sculpture that measures 5 inches in height and 3 inches in width. It makes her perfect not only for the sacred space in your home, but is also small enough to take along while traveling or to spiritual gatherings. 

Often during prayer, I will look tot the Maiden when I begin new ventures, projects, or times of new growth. I will look to the Mother when I am focused on protection, fairness, relationships, abundance and health matters. And I look to the Crone for spiritual support, bigger picture views, wisdom,  transitions, and healing.

Crone Matters - a Spirit Doll celebrating the Season of the Crone

For many years I have honored the Triple Goddess, the "Maiden Mother and Crone". My focus has always been to authentically live through the stages, consciously aware of the experiences and the growth afforded to me. Over the past 16 years I have gratefully been able to merge my Art and my Spirituality to acknowledge the diversity we hold as women and the many layers we each have. 

As I began transitioning into the Crone season it became a more quiet time for me. I needed that time to reflect on the lessons learned over time. While my beliefs remained the same, there was a shuffling in how I prioritized them. Those beliefs became my core beliefs and now were held with a level of absoluteness that is almost indescribable. My time and energy were now a valuable commodity not to be trifled with. And a sense of freedom emerged, so much more notable without the layers of  needless worries attached. 

I want to share my journey through the Crone season, not only to connect and relate to other Elders, but to help change the narrative of this time. For far too long Crones have been dishonored. Instead of being referred to as the Sage Woman or the Wise Woman....the Crones became unattractive and unneeded...hags..broads...all in an attempt to dis-empower her.

I have created a series of Spirit Dolls that each focus on a Crone "matter"...pieces and thoughts of the journey. The first in the series is,  in a sense,  the Guide on this journey. She holds all of the subsequent pieces ...and is named "Crone Matters".
