How I Work

If you feel there is more beneath the surface than symptoms alone, you are in the right place. For more than forty years, I have used pendulum dowsing, Reiki, TCM, and structured assessment methods to help uncover deeper patterns and support healing.

How I Explore Energy Patterns

Understanding the root causes behind emotional, energetic, and physical challenges often requires looking beyond symptoms alone.

At Reiki Heaven, I combine over 40 years of pendulum dowsing experience with Reiki, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), chakra assessment, and Adapted Belizal Rose Diagram to help identify patterns that may be contributing to imbalance.

The goal is not to predict the future or make medical diagnoses. The goal is to better understand where energy may be blocked, depleted, or out of balance so that healing can begin from a deeper level.

My Journey with Pendulum Dowsing

My relationship with pendulum dowsing began in childhood.

One of my first pendulums was simply a key attached to a piece of string. Even then, I found myself exploring questions about energy, emotions, and the world around me.

In the 1980s, I discovered the work of Academic Ljudmila Puchko and began studying pendulum radiesthesia in a more structured way. What started as curiosity gradually became a lifelong practice built on observation, experience, and continual learning.

Life eventually led me through many different paths. Alongside my years in the corporate world, I continued studying energy work, Reiki, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and spiritual development.

Over time, pendulum dowsing became one of the tools I use to better understand energetic patterns and support healing in both people and animals.

How I Use Pendulum Dowsing to Look Beyond the Symptoms

Every person and every animal is unique.

Rather than assuming the same solution applies to everyone, I use pendulum dowsing to help identify individual patterns that may be affecting wellbeing.

Depending on the session, this may include:

  • Chakra balance and energy flow

  • TCM Five Element relationships

  • Meridian assessment

  • Yin and Yang balance

  • Areas of energetic stagnation

  • Emotional patterns and stress responses

  • Energy depletion or overload

  • Overall energetic resilience and recovery capacity

The purpose is not to label symptoms but to gain a broader understanding of what may be contributing to imbalance.

These findings help create a clearer picture of where support may be needed and which areas may benefit most from Reiki healing.

Assessment of the Current State - Understanding the Rose Diagram

One of the specialized assessment tools I use is Adapted Belizal Rose Diagram.

The Rose Diagram helps evaluate energetic movement, balance, and directional flow within the energy field.

The version I use is inspired by the Belizal radiesthesia tradition and has been adapted as part of my own assessment process developed over many years of practice.

Different positions, colors, and directional movements can provide information about how energy is behaving at a particular moment.

The diagram does not diagnose illness or predict outcomes. Instead, it offers a structured way of observing energetic patterns and changes over time.

I often use the Rose Diagram before and after a healing session to observe energetic shifts and assess how the system responds to Reiki.

How the Rose Diagram Supports Reiki Healing

The Rose Diagram is most useful around a Reiki session, not only before it. I read it first to see where energy is held, depleted, or out of balance, and that reading guides where the Reiki is directed. After the session, I read it again, so any shift can be observed rather than assumed. This before-and-after reading is how each session stays tailored to you, and how we see what has changed and what may still need attention.

How Pendulum Dowsing and Reiki Work Together

Pendulum dowsing and Reiki serve different purposes.

  • Pendulum dowsing helps identify areas that may need attention.

  • Reiki helps restore balance and support the body's natural healing processes.

  • Together, they create a personalized approach that combines assessment with healing.

  • The assessment provides information.

  • The Reiki session provides support.

  • The reassessment helps observe changes and guide next steps.

This combination allows each session to be tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
