"I am a former
Captain in the United States Marine
Corps, have served two tours
in Iraq, and have been a recipient
of energy work for three years.
Until Diana's Traditional Reiki I
course I was dependent on other
light workers to help me through my
physical and emotional challenges.
Energy work has changed my life in
ways, many of which I will never be
able to place in words, most notably
my physical challenges. Through the
many years of rough physical
activity I was left with the
inability to run which was one of my
favorite past times. After
receiving the Traditional Reiki I
attunements I have had zero
arthritis pain and within three
weeks have built up to running four
miles. Going through Diana's
Traditional Reiki I course has given
me an extreme sense of empowerment,
that I too have the ability to heal
myself and others through the
miracle of the universal life force
energy that is around us 24/7. I
have been drawn to Reiki for a long
time and have researched other
establishments, but Diana is one of
the VERY few Reiki Masters who have
been traditionally trained by one of
the original Japanese Reiki
practitioners. I would highly
recommend her classes to others and
I am looking forward to taking Reiki
II with her." Jeremiah

Hi Diana,
Thank you for
the gift of meeting you
today. You are
quintessential
compassion, genuine and
caring, straightforward and
unpretentious, and clearly
gifted in your expertise and
ability to help others. I
am still dazed that I got to
meet you and experience your
kind help. THANK YOU!
You will
probably smile to hear that
just after leaving your
house this afternoon we saw
an eagle cruise over the
river, wow! I wondered if
he knew you and Nakota.
I was way out of my comfort
zone today and strongly
compelled to be so. I was
also soooooooooo terrified
that you would tap into
something awful in me
(disease). Every time you
spoke I steeled myself for
the guillotine. AND (I know
we're not supposed to say
but)
I was awestruck to be in
your presence, thrilled to
be doing something so bold
for myself, AND entirely
convinced that you and Reiki
would/could/will help me
heal in mind, body and
spirit. THANK YOU!
In the car on
the way home, and now at
home, I feel a distinct calm
within. This is extremely
rare for me. The center of
this calm is the upper
portion of my body where I
am usually crunched in
tightness. I feel a
newfound lightness. THANK
YOU!
I LOVE that
you pictured me as a happy
child outdoors in nature! I
think that has never ceased
being a significant source
of joy to me; I have simply
often overlooked this basic
truth. I am thankful you
saw green! Sherry
12/09
Wow Diana - I
simply can't tell you how
amazing D is and how well my
dear friend, Sherry is. I
found you just at the right
moment and now I myself
cannot wait to meet you.
Thank you. D is nudging me
as I'm typing - I can only
think he's thanking you too.
Have a
blessed holiday season, I
know you bring love and
compassion to so many and I
hope you are showered back
with it. Today I had a
massage and was dreading the
deep painful bit on my right
knee but instead I fell
asleep (I Never Sleep!!). I
asked the massage therapist
what happened after- she
said "I used reiki" I am
quivering with excitement...
Many thanks and happy
holidays, Diana. We had a
good trip away and D
continues to be fine! Happy
New Year, Miki

One of my students from Traditional
Reiki had a lot on her plate the
past few weeks so I gifted her some
Reiki while she was at work on
August 14, 2009. This is what I
shared to her to the email: “Your
body wanted it and did not want me
to stop! No surprises; I did feel
some discomfort in your right wrist
and it cleared quickly. Some of your
baggage cleared out. Enjoy, Diana
This is her email back to me that day:
“Ahhh Ha! That’s why I feel so much better. I’m
getting so much done and I still have an hour left.
I’m vibrating like crazy; it’s like warps back and
forth, up and down. And my fingers quit hurting.
Awesome. Baggage, oh I just have to chuckle….. I bet
I have literally trunks of baggage hanging around.
Thank you so much, you are an awesome friend for
doing this for me”. Julie
AND:
Oh, the gas bill for our house is half from a year
ago. Amazing! You teach and train some really
good stuff here. I need to shout it out on the
mountain tops for you. Hey, that’s an idea. Hope
you have a great class. I’ll be with you in another
way (Inner Energy Seminar). Cuz I know how
now… gosh I love that… Ok I’m done being silly…
Hugs Julie
******************************
I am
very thrilled for my future possibilities w/ Reiki.
I have noticed that my car is getting better gas
mileage, 1 to 2 gallons more. I have to yet to
actually Reiki my car so big things are yet to
come.
I have to say, I am loving this. I feel like a
little kid at the playground. What should I play on
now. I am getting a feel of how I respond to
the energy. I get a surge in my facial nerves when
I Reiki my food and drinks, etc. When the surge
subsides, I know it is ok to release.
I have given distant Reiki to my daughter twice
now. I can tell a HUGE difference from her energy
than anything I have experienced so far. It is like
a million needles tingling through my body. That
was an exciting revelation for me to notice the
difference.
I have noticed for myself that PMS symptoms
are gone. Normally my hormones are so out of whack
it triggers a rheumatoid flare which pretty
much paralyzes me. For two months now,
nothing. Since Reiki II training, I have lost 4
pounds.
I am loving it. Thank you so much. Danielle S.
******************************
Oh,
I’m having a blast with the Reiki. I am more and
more in tune with it, I can feel the vibration in my
hands when I turn it on. I’ve done my peach trees,
pine trees, the peas and flowers as I planted them.
The most profound…. Is Breanna, she lays in front of
me most every night and lays so still and peeks at
me wanting the Reiki, she would lay there for
hours. She loves it. The puppy likes it too, but
prefers to touch me while I Reiki myself. Duffy
will take it for about 15 minutes and then he moves
away. I even dared to do my bosses foot, he was
having terrible heel pain last week. He didn’t have
time for the whole 90 minutes, plus we were at
work. So I asked for assistance if this would work
and if so where to place my hands and I got my
answers…. I had about 35 minutes and my boss
actually admitted that his foot wasn’t hurting as
bad and got through the weekend in less pain. I
feel really good about it. I often think back
to our walk up at the Attunement rock, I so enjoyed
that….. talk about feeling complete. You are the
best. Have a great weekend. Hugs to you and your
fur kids… Julie M.

Traditional Reiki I Workshop Review- November, 2007
I recently had
the pleasure of being invited to join a two day class and get
attuned to the first level of Reiki. Studying spiritualism for the
last seven years, it had come to my attention that I needed to
experience exactly what people meant when they were talking about
feeling and seeing energy. I have had very brief moments of each
and wanted to escalate those encounters, but had no idea how. A
couple of friends of mine are into Reiki and after listening to them
describe it and having experienced the healing properties of Reiki
in a session with them, I decided that this was just what I was
looking for.
Searching into
Reiki on the internet, I signed in for an online course. Following
the course step by step, at its conclusion, got absolutely nothing
out of it. It was a complete waste of time and money. I still felt
that Reiki was the way to go for me, so when I heard a few other
friends were gathering a class together for a live Reiki training I
immediately jumped in.
The
instructor, Diana Siderides, is a Master in traditional Reiki and
studied under one of the only three Grand Masters of Reiki that
there are, and has practiced this form of energetic healing for
about thirty-one years. For me, those two facts alone, told me she
was the instructor I was looking for. I definitely did not want some
watered down version, interpreted version, or someone’s hybrid
version. Whenever I want to know or learn something, I always go to,
or get as close as possible to, the source, where the lesson is in
its truest and most pure, original form. Also, the fact that Diana
has been practicing with traditional Reiki for over thirty-one
years, tells me she has an extensive working knowledge and practical
experience with it. In my book, there is absolutely nothing more
powerful than personal experience!
As a person, I
love Diana’s sense of humor. Although she keeps it well hidden, when
it finally seeps through, it shows the inner joy of a life filled
with richness and the peace of finding and fulfilling a noble
purpose. What Ms. Siderides can not hide is, her genuine love of
nature’s aesthetic beauty, her deep felt compassion for all life,
animal, plant, and mineral, as well as human, and her veracious
concern to aide and help guide all to a more serene and tranquil
coexistence.
Diana, the
instructor, has a direct, no-nonsense, and to the point style of
teaching, that can be likened to a breath of fresh clean air. You
may not be use to it and have to gulp it in at first, but in time
your body realizes this is the way it should be and was meant to be,
and you begin to appreciate the crisp clearness of it, making you
want to absorb as much as possible. Her two day trainings have no
time for “fillers” as they are literally packed with a perfect mix
of teachings, hands on experience, and spiritualistic connections.
And of course, she has an enormously vast array of personally
acquired examples (stories) of her life working with Reiki, to
astound and open exciting new pathways of unlimited possibilities
for her students.
My personal
encounter with Diana’s Level I Reiki training, unlocked a multitude
of emotions and energies within me. Under Diana’s guidance, I
learned how to connect to the healing energy known as Reiki, (which
loosely translates from Japanese to “universal life force that
animates all living things”), and channel it through myself,
virtually becoming a receiving antennae and conduit, into the energy
field and body of a fellow being. When introduced into ones body,
Reiki removes blockages in a person’s energy flow and resets their
system to its original state of perfect health and harmony. While
still considering my self to be a novice and my almost daily
practices of Reiki being done mainly on myself, I have experienced
amazing sessions with this force. I literally and physically feel
this healing energy enter into my body and flow through my hands
into the subject. When the subject is myself, I feel Reiki
re-entering my body through my hands where I can relax and leave it
to clear and heal the most pertinent issues of my body, or if I let
my ego get involved, I can direct it to any part of my body I
choose. The calmness and peace of mind, not to mention the
excitement of every cell in my body jubilant from getting a recharge
after each session, is indescribable. And my cats, one in
particular, never misses a session, as they instinctually gravitate
towards and love to bask in this natural life force.
While I know
Reiki is not the totality of my life’s calling, it is so congruent,
that I have determined it mandatory and have scheduled my Reiki
Level II training.
Diana, it is
with my sincerest gratitude that I have been connected with the
honest and dedicated traditional Reiki missionary that is you.
Thank
you!

diary entry I wrote for the Reiki II workshop: Angela Earle

REIKI II WORKSHOP REPORT
WOW!!!! Luckily I'm a writer and I never run into the problem of
"there's nothing more to say"!
I attended a Reiki II workshop this weekend near Emmett at the home
of my Reiki Teacher and Reiki Master - Diana Siderides. It was so
incredible, so empowering, and eye opening on so many levels. Just
when you think it's gotten as cool or powerful as it possible could,
Spirit opens up another door, we climb another flight of stairs and
it keeps spiraling ever upward.
For those unfamiliar with Reiki - it is a hands on healing practice
in which the practitioner calls in the universal life energy known
as Reiki and channels it through to himself, a person, an object, a
situation, etc......Begun in the 19th century in Japan (long LONG,
but beautiful, story) it first came to the US in the middle of the
20th century, and now has quite a following, with thousands of
practitioners.
There are three levels of Reiki - I, 2, and 3, and each level is a
deeper initiation into the spiritual and energetic power of the
energy. In First degree, we become connected to the power through
attunements in which the teacher connects us with the energy, and
learn how to use the flow through hand positions. During Second
Degree, we were attuned on a more powerful level, and learned
symbols to use in our practice to call in even more energy and to
practice distantly - i.e. the person or object we were treating did
not have to be in the same physical space as us.
There's obviously a lot more about Reiki, but this will suffice as a
general introduction. Check out the internet to learn more about the
wide world of Reiki, its history and its practices.
In
Second Degree, I found the energy of the house and my hands to be so
strong it was almost surreal. Diana, my teacher whom I have known
for over a year now, is so full of healing energy and love and
REALNESS that it was wonderful just to be in her presence. She has
been practicing Reiki for over 30 years and her attunement,
connection, and understanding of the Reiki Consciousness is
amazing.
I
found during this class that I was open to hearing and seeing more
about these aspects. I meet a lot of healers in the work that I do,
and often, as is the case with most human beings, I make an
impression of them based on a lot of things when I meet and interact
with them. From my gut, head, and obviously my own past experiences,
and the words that come out of their mouths. With Diana I realized
that I had put her in my life as an amazing Reiki teacher, but there
were things about her life that I couldn't place in my own
understanding of Enlightenment or being awake. What I found this
time was that either she opened up or revealed herself more, or I
was suddenly open and aware to more, but I know that she is WAY
deeper than I realized, and on, what my TOSA friends would call (see
last blog message) the level of Ascension Awareness, while I am
still operating a lot of the time out of Spiritual Activism.
At
any rate, I now hold her in my heart as a Teacher of all things,
someone to look up to, and a spiritual guide. I'm so grateful that I was open to that experience, and open to
having my ideas challenged and to letting them go.
While I can't go into the symbol details or much more, I will say
that allowing myself to go deeper I gave myself such a huge gift,
and feel today that my ability as a healer is more rightly aligned
with the Universe, and that while I still have life doubts, and all
of that, there exists a place and a power I can go to inside myself
and all around me, that exists on a higher vibration but is ever
available. For instance, when I was with Diana I felt and saw myself
as a successful Reiki practitioner, and when I pulled into my
driveway, I felt that it was a pipe dream, that no one would ever
respond to my ad, and that I would always be scrounging for money,
blah blah blah. I know that this is a common feeling in this Valley,
particularly about the lack and not-enoughness, and that I have the
CHOICE as to whether I will buy into it - operate at that level - or
choose to operate on another level. I don't have to do anything.
That's my report from this weekend. I offer it to you in hopes that
it will spark your own inner and outer explorations!

Diana
Lynn Countryman Siderides shared this story with one
of her “teachers” last week of August 2010 and his
comment is below the story!
Sat
down to rest, got all comfortable and looked at the
window by the woodstove, got up and saw it was a
praying mantis with its wings half veiled and hurt.
I put my left hand on the window where it was and
gave Reiki and it took the energy, wished it well
and sat down, got comfortable and the mantis invited
me to “merge” with its body. I did and then began my
first lesson: He taught me to still my body and to
only recognize my breathing, nothing more. When
thoughts started coming, he would say, no thoughts –
they take you away from stillness. The mantis
breathes through its skin and in a short time I had
no awareness of my physical body, only my breathing
which was shallower and still fulfilling. Then I
asked where its eyes were and he told me the 2
bulges at the corners; his eyes are like the core of
a sunflower, reading every vibe through tiny
sensors; then I felt his sticky long yet curled
tongue. I became aware of his injury when my right
thumb was in pain; he told me he was accessing my
healing energies because we had merged into oneness,
in fact, the mantis gets all information from the
air, all knowledge is in the air, as it is the
carrier of all energies. He is now gone, my lesson
was 90 minutes and I had no awareness of that time.
Very precious to have this experience~
Wow,
Diana,
We
call that being tapped in. You are being taught by
Mother. Of course we have always said that you are
a walking, Mutual of Omaha. ha ha.
Thanks
for sharing. That is a great story.

Animal Communication with
Madeline & Gigi
February 5, 2010
My
husband and I have two adorable French bulldogs,
Madeline and Gigi. They were treated like our
kids….which is why the “issues” began! Madeline was
having accidents/peeing in the house. Gigi wasn’t
paying any attention to our simple commands and she
rolled over on her back whenever anyone approached
her….even us. We needed help.
I
discussed my concerns with a co-worker and she suggested
working with Diana who was an animal communicator and
came highly recommended. It sounded a little
unconventional but we were desperate to stop the
peeing. So, I called and visited with Diana.
The
next day, Madeline had her first session. Oh man, did
she have a lot to say! Most importantly, Madeline
didn’t feel there was a clearly defined “alpha” in our
home. She felt she often had to take on the leadership
role herself. When she did….she marked her territory.
Her peeing was no “accident.” After two discussion and
Reiki-filled sessions, Madeline is a different “dog.”
The positive energy that filled the house made it
possible for Shawn & I to accept the “leadership” role
she needed. Diana gave us many suggestions on becoming
good pack leaders but she also told us to seek the help
of an animal behaviorist….Cesar Milan. We now have two
of his books and are incorporating his common sense ways
of treating dogs like dogs….not humans!
Gigi
was six months old when we rescued her. She had mange,
a horrible ear infection, a broken toe, and was very
underweight. Her sole focus in life had been survival.
She came to us and got lots of love, veterinary care,
and food. Despite this, she told Diana she thought all
humans did was “take” and she didn’t have much respect
for Shawn or me. In her mind, we just wanted to love
and kiss on her to make us feel better……and we didn’t
even ask if it was ok!! Again, Diana gave us the
insight and energy to earn Gigi’s trust.
The
positive energy in the house following the sessions was
amazing. Not only were my physical aches and pains
diminished but my attitude was different. I felt
empowered to take on life’s challenges without dread or
uncertainty. I instinctually knew I could succeed and
would succeed. I didn’t discuss all of these feelings
with my husband but I saw positive changes in him, too.
I’m
thrilled to say there hasn’t been a “marking” incident
since Madeline’s sessions. Shawn & I are slowly earning
Gigi’s trust…she no longer rolls over every time we
approach and we’ve made improvements in basic commands.
Both dogs have responded really well to our leadership.
Diana provided an invaluable service to all us. We’ve
attended many dog training programs but this was very
different. She gave us insight into the dogs’ thoughts
and behavior, gave them healing energy work, and gave us
the direction we needed to be good leaders.
Thank you, Diana. Wanda, Shawn…..Madeline & Gigi
Because bulldogs are difficult to train, we had taken
the easy way out and begun to use “shock collars” for
discipline and training. The collars were effective but
Diana explained that the girls didn’t associate the
correction with us. More importantly, the collars
messed with the dogs’ energy. They both really needed
Reiki in that area. For all these reasons we are no
longer using the shock collars. They dogs both said “if
we provided the proper leadership, there would be no
need for them.”
******************************
I had
a strong connect with you and loved your work with
Dart. Thank you, beyond words, if I never said it...
though I am sure you knew. I want to tell you
sometime, for lack of a better word, the story. The
reading with him altered how I dealt and felt no
rhyme intended. It made me so aware of the process
of releasing him; it was an amazing experience for
sure on many levels. You are a gem!

Animal Communication
and Inner Energy Experience
by Julie M. Garden City, Idaho
I met Diana briefly at the March 2008 Holistic Health
Fair, where she did a brief animal communication with
one of my Shelties, Duffy. I was so excited that she
could also reach Shammie our female Sheltie that had
passed away several years ago. At the time, I met
Diana, we had three Shelties all of whom were the center
of my husband and my lives. Diana gave me information
from Duffy that was invaluable to me for him as I
compete in agility and I wanted to know how to be a
better handler and simply put she said, “well Duffy is
telling me he’s waiting for you to get your sh*t
together.” Plain and simple, I was being wishy washy
and needed to be focused on the objective if we were to
be a competitive team. She told me that Shammie was so
happy and having a blast, in fact so much fun going
about the universe that she hadn’t taken on another
physical body yet. She knew how much I loved her and
was fine with the way we had made the decision about her
passing. My time with Diana was up so quickly and I
didn’t get the opportunity to ask Diana about our older
Sheltie, Rascal. I left her booth thinking I would get
in touch with her soon about him. I had been to other
animal communicators and she was precise and direct with
her reading. I knew she was the one for me, so I picked
up a copy of her flier for The Inner Energy Seminar and
her business card labeled “Warm Fuzzy Center”.
Unfortunately, I didn’t find the time to contact Diana,
until I knew that our Rascal was in serious trouble last
July. He was almost 13 years old and had been suffering
from nosebleeds for several months and having trouble
breathing and sleeping. I knew he was miserable, as much
as I hated it, I knew in my heart our time with him was
coming to an end. I called Diana in tears and asked her
to visit with Rascal to tell me what he needed me to
do. She said to call her back in a couple of hours and
so I did. What she told me was amazing. Rascal told her
“that the pressure in his nose started in March (which
was his first nose bleed) and that the pain associated
with that had gradually gotten worse and worse and was
traveling into his neck and shoulders. He also told
her, that he had other tumors located in different areas
of his body. He said that he would hang on as long as he
needed to until Mom and Dad were ready to let him go.”
Having said all this Diana said to me, “ I know you
don’t want to hear this Julie, but you need to put him
down as soon as you can, I Reikied him for 90 minutes
and it took 45 minutes for it to even slightly relieve
his pain.” I didn’t know a lot about Reiki, but I knew
it was a type of energy healing and I was thankful that
she could give him that amount of relief.
We did put our precious Rascal to sleep the next
evening. Rascal passed away with me and my husband
touching him and loving him. We were both at peace with
our decision for he was so peacefully asleep.
The next day, was when I needed Diana the most. I
called her and said, “I’m calling because I’m hoping you
can help me feel better.” She said I can, “Rascal wants
you to know how happy he is, he’s running, smelling
flowers and butterflies and he wants you to know that
Shammie was there when he passed. (They were
littermates.) Lastly, he knows how difficult this was
for you. When you are sad and missing him, he wants you
to remember him as the puppy he was when you brought him
home, for he knows how much joy he brought you during
that time.” Oh, she couldn’t have been more right. He
was a goof ball and we never knew what crazy thing he’d
be getting himself into, from eating the soap out of the
bathtub, to getting a plastic sand bucket stuck on his
head, to howling a welcome home greeting to Mom and Dad.
Diana also told me that when I needed him that he would
climb into my tummy and wiggle so I would know he was
there. And he does, I ask him to come and I feel him
wiggle. Amazing.
I
was asking Diana all kinds of questions on how I could
stay in touch with him and Shammie and she said several
magic words, “I can teach you how to do it yourself.”
So, I signed up for the Inner Energy Class in November
2008 for 4 incredible days of learning. I surprised
myself on so many levels, that I too could reach
animals… as well as humans…and with more practice I’ll
be able to visit with my Dad who passed away early
2008. Inner Energy was the foundation of many wonderful
things I will learn and be able to do for friends,
family and myself. I had been searching for something I
could do to help animals. And I am positive I’ve found
my way to do that with the skills I learned through
Inner Energy.
Thank you Diana for your willingness to share your gift
with me.
This is a Testimony from a young man
that had an Animal Communication from me at the March Wellness Fair
at the Boise Fairgrounds on March 29, 2008. He had come back on the
30th to tell me how much better his cat was since I had talked to
her.
"Ever since my session, my
relationship with my cat Doodle has completely changed. Now that
I'm actually listening, I know
exactly what she wants
and a lot of what she's thinking. I've made a bunch of changes
around my apartment that have made her happier and don't feel
guilty anymore for having to leave for a long time each day and
leaving her alone at home. Everything has just gotten so much
better".
- Rob Shultz 14 Apr 2008
To Kristin:
You don't know me, but I want to reassure you about Diana.
When my wife Marcy and I added a cat to our household, our tranquil
existence changed.
Unfortunately the new cat refused to tolerate our easy going cat, and
you could say "all hell broke loose."
Anyway, we had to do something. Either get rid of the new cat or
......; so we hired Diana Siderides to do an animal communication. I
must admit I was very skeptical but we were grasping for straws by then
and figured we had nothing to lose.
What
is the point of this? I want to assure you that Diana is the "real
deal." Since we met we have developed quite a relationship. I have
attended one of her Reiki classes and her Inner Energy class. I still
struggle with it because I am not a "natural", however I know the value
and understand what is happening. Everything is energy. Period. Reiki
is working on the energy level; the ancients and Native
Americans understood and practiced energy healing. Science has
attempted to replace energy work with logic and rational thought at the
expense of understanding the complete picture. Frankly we need both
practices in my opinion.
Reiki is just one of several energy healing modalities, although it is
widely recognized and is probably the most popular. This is not Voo Doo.
Unfortunately there are always the "snake oil" salesmen out there making
claims and not producing results. Diana is not one of those. In fact,
she is a traditionalist who was trained by the last of the Reiki Grand
Masters. That is sort of like training under Freud and Carl Jung
themselves!! She doesn't fool around; I know, I was in her class.
I
could go on and on. I have a huge respect for Diana and her abilities.
She really does care and your fears are probably like mine were. That's
ok, but please trust her abilities and her intentions. They are
excellent and above reproach.
Remember everything is energy. Everything in the world and the universe
is comprised of energy, including us and our pets.
By
the way, we have two cats still, thanks to Diana's help. If I have any
advice, it would be to hear what you need to hear not what you want to
hear. And that may be difficult, I know it was for us.
Wishing you the best,
Rodney

Lobo a male cat – Why the aggression, diarrhea &
spraying?
Immediately Lobo wanted me to help with
his physical problems that are causing 2 of the above issues: spraying & diarrhea. He had what I would call ‘stones’ in his rectum, but I get
from him that there were painful crustations (11 total) that had
accumulated back there. He has been having the need to strain when
urinating and thus the spraying. I gave him 21 minutes of Reiki and he
settled some and was more at peace. He had an “owey” on his left front
paw, fixed easily. He has a bruise behind and above his right eye that
is still tender. He got whacked by something like a broom?! Or a stick
held by that woman. He doesn’t seem to like your mother, she is always
pestering him and he does not like that.
Lobo is a Cat’s cat; he is
straightforward and erect in his stance. He appears to have longer hair
than a normal cat and not long like a longhaired cat. He and Buster
like to prowl around, but it seems that Buster is always following his
lead. Lobo says that Buster is his best “bud”.
Aggression is mostly coming out because
of the pain inside of his body. And the fact that you are not letting
him do what he wants to do. Lobo wants to be outside more and I asked
him if he would be good when outside and he said, “No”. He has the need
to want to prowl outside and get in to trouble. He would settle for
having the ability to prowl anywhere he wants on the inside of the
house, no closed doors. Lobo is now a very adult male and he is feeling
confined and this is not to his liking. Some of his spraying is coming
from NEW scents inside the house that were not there before and he feels
the need to reassert himself as to his territory. The Reiki would help
him to find his own peace of mind. And he definitely enjoyed the short
session that I gave him.

Buster a male cat – Stop spraying downstairs, another cat
okay?
Buster is a very laidback cat that is
comfortable in his own skin! He has been looking forward to this
communication since Lobo told him that it feels good!
The ‘spraying’ is a hard issue for him
as well as Lobo. He says we have been doing it for so long; it would be
hard to stop. It started because we didn’t like the smells of those
other people and we sprayed to get rid of their thoughts concerning us
as well as animals in general. Lobo told me that if we sprayed, we
could silence them. Does Mom know that they don’t like us, that they
think we are dumb animals? Why would we want to be nice to them? But I
might be willing to pull myself in a little, but I don’t think Lobo
will. He has changed since we have come here; he isn’t content like I
am. I could sleep all day and not have a care in the world, but Lobo
has to be on the prowl looking for things to get into. That is why he
is being more aggressive with her friends, yes he is jealous, but it is
more than that, it is territorial for sure. But Mom has to see it from
our eyes or from our perspective; if we were in control we would not let
them in the house at all. And now you are telling me, that we are never
in control?! Wow, that is a lot for a Cat to have to hear!
Going outside puts the fear in me beyond
my thinking! Yes, I would love to go outside as she asks, but does she
realize what she is asking? When I was little they would put me outside
in this big barnyard of space, my eyes were ‘wild’ with everything I
could see and though how yummy many things were, but no one told me,
that things wanted to eat me, I almost (several times) didn’t back into
the building before being killed by larger animals than me. But my
instincts say I should be outside and my FEARS are worse and stronger
than my instincts. I would want her to hold me, when she takes me
outside, I don’t want to be on the ground so that I can be attacked, and
those memories are so scary for me. Would she do that for me, hold
m??? Maybe we could work up to me being on a leash again. . . I don’t
know. . . Could we start with just holding me or lying on her lap for
our outings outside?
Another Cat? Doesn’t she realize that
we won’t be as important to her, if she does that? I don’t know if that
is such a good idea. Lobo is not open to such a request, but then it is
always me that has to be the go-between for us. Another cat would not
be a good idea, how would be able to stay together as “buds”? I don’t
think so.

Testimonies
for Inner Energy
Diana, your “inner energy” work shop was beyond my
expectations and was instrumental in transforming my
views and abilities. Mostly Diana I feel like I was
set free, a freedom analogous to the movie “Hildago”
“ let yer buck!” I strongly encourage those that
feel there is something more then the act on stage
and are ready to go backstage to experience the
essence of the play and meet the writer then you are
their teacher.
~ Chad Namaste - Bend, OR
Mystical Communication
I found myself seated in a half circle with 9 other people
waiting for the workshop to begin. Usually before any kind
of class or workshop I have an intention of what I would like to
take from it. This one was different. A friend had
told me about the instructor but I had never really met her, we
were in Montour, a small bump in the road between Horseshoe Bend
and Emmett, and I had no idea what the workshop was about.
It was named “Inner Energy” and that, along with my friend’s
confidence in the instructor, was enough to peak my interest
enough to be sitting in the half circle.
What I learned over the next 3 days literally changed the way I
see myself and the world as it exists around me. Looking
back at the workshop it would be safe to say that it is a
mystical communications course. It takes the concept and
experience of intuition to a whole new level. Like many I have
had intuitive feelings about certain places, events, and people
but I had never really understood how it happened and why it
happened at times and other times it did not. Diana, our
instructor, carefully showed us that intuition is merely a
non-verbal communication between you and the “non-physical”;
whether you call it God, Source, Spirit, Guides, Assistants,
Angels, or what ever. The part that gets fascinating about
non-verbal communication is that once you understand it you can
communicate with all “entities” that are non-verbal. Let
me say it again, you can communicate back and fourth with
non-verbal beings; small children, animals, spirit guides /
assistants… The idea of this even being possible was not
new to me. We have always known that animals communicate
back and fourth non-verbally and it has been documented that
siblings that are very close can do so as well. I had
heard that some indigenous tribes also practice the art of
telepathy. I had never heard of “cross communication”
between humans and animals for instance. In the Inner
Energy class you don’t hear about them much either…you
experience them! To hear about these things is one thing,
to experience them is another!
We did some pretty fascinating things in our small group setting
but the real power came when I was able to do this in my
everyday life. Diana is a master at showing one how to
come in alignment with another on an energetic level and thus
being in resonance with them opening up the channels of
communication.
It was a good thing that I didn’t have any intentions or
preconceived notions for the class before it started, because
anything that I would have come up with would have been blown
out of the water. Inner Energy was such a rich and eye
opening experience I would recommend it for everyone, especially
people with small children and animal lovers. I have
neither pets nor kids and my life has still been greatly
enriched by the experience.

“Inner Energy is a
learning experience that enables us to take control
of our lives. Achieve a new state of awareness, so
that we may grow and realize our limited
potential.”

Diana, your “inner energy”
workshop was beyond my expectations and was
instrumental in transforming my views and
abilities. Mostly Diana I feel like I was set free,
a freedom analogous to the movie “Hidalgo” “let yer
buck!” I strongly encourage those that feel there is
something more than the act on stage and are ready
to go backstage to experience the essence of the
play and meet the writer then you are their

~ Chad
“I had no idea what I was
missing in my life until I took Diana’s Inner
Energy Seminar. After Diana’s seminar, I learned
how powerful our mind is and how our body has the
ability to heal itself when the techniques you learn
are applied. Most off all I learned that everything
in life is connected through our intuition and
psychic abilities. We never need to look outside of
ourselves for the answers. Every answer we need is
inside us. Diana’s seminar gives you the tools and
techniques to find those answers.”
~ Jeri
“After receiving my First
Degree Reiki from Diana Siderides in February, 1997,
I felt the need to get in touch and in tune with
myself. She also offered a class called Inner
Energy that did just that. In April, along with
others we took a 4 day seminar on dealing with
ourselves. At times you cried, at times you
laughed, at times you found peace, inner strength
long forgotten and then you actually remember who
you were before stress, pressure, relationships and
society got a hold of you. As a woman with a
family, business, physical disabilities and
obligations, I was losing myself and needed to find
the strength that I knew was there, just hidden. In
the Inner Energy Seminar I found that
strength and courage to face daily living. I
recommend it to anyone that wants to experience what
the Universe has to share with you, your inner
self.”
~ Rose
I began making spirit-filled pillows
(through I didn’t understand that part of the process) in 1995 for
my friend Diana Siderides who is a Traditional Reiki Master and
taught me Reiki and Inner Energy (a phenomenal class
that teaches you about who you really are and
what you are capable of doing with energy). I wanted to give
her a gift for all that she had helped me to accomplish and be. She
was a rehabber of raptors and had a Great Horned owl named PAX. I
was walking through our very small town quilt store when a lady came
up to me and handed me a bolt of material with owl panels on it. I
didn’t know the woman, would probably have never found the material
on my own and to be truthful, I believe she was probably an angel
who manifested the material as the shop keeper wondered where it had
come from herself as she didn’t remember ordering it.
I learned
early on when working with Diana to not question anything that
happened out of the “ordinary” because once you learn Inner
Energy, you will understand that nothing happens without
purpose and it is all orchestrated by an energy much larger than
what we can imagine, so just go with it and be grateful. So I had
never made a pillow before though I had spent many years sewing
clothes and quilts out of necessity. This owl pillow was not one
that was just going to be sewn up with a backing and a pillow form
slide in between – oh no, it was going to be hand-quilted to give it
texture so it would stand out and be noticed. So many hours later
and with lots of guidance from the spirit world by way of an unseen
“voice” the pillow was done. I felt guided to do a “ceremony” that
changes with each pillow, as the energies of each pillow are unique
and individual.
As I began making pillows for more and more people, messages from
the spirit world began to come through as I was working on the
pillows. I acknowledge that I apparently have a “design team” that
gives me “mental pictures” of the pillows for the intended person
and then we go around my room of fabrics and pick the fabrics. I’ve
gotten to where I leave the sewn pieces out overnight before
completing the pillows because oftentimes the “design team” will
rearrange the pieces and come up with a unique design of their own.
I always look forward with excitement and anticipation when I go
into my sewing room the next day to see what the final design is.
Once the pillow is finished; I receive the message of the spirits of
the pillow in its entirety; do the ceremony at sunrise, sunset or
full-moon cycle as guided.
I am totally guided by the design team when making the pillows and
know nothing other than name and address of the person I am making
these pillows for – (also learned through Inner Energy).
It amazes me still to this day when I get an email back saying how
on purpose the message had been for the person. The pillows carry
the energies and different people feel different things from the
pillows as they use them.
Through Diana’s visions, I have expanded my spirit-filled pillow
line to include spirit-filled soaps (no messages with the soaps,
just lots of blessings as you use it); spirit-filled massage table
covers; and now after making a spirit-filled quilt for her dog
Nakota (see Diana’s testimony below) she has encouraged me to make
smaller quilts for cats and dogs to also reap the benefit of the
healing colors and healing energies that accompany each quilt.
I can’t begin to explain any of it and won’t other than to say it
has been a wonder gift that I have been blessed with and I will use
it so long as people continue to be blessed by this gift. Please
view my website at:
www.dragonflydreampillows.com for more information. I look
forward to hearing from you soon.
Give a gift of spirit energies and healing, for all that we give
out, we receive in return tenfold.

Testimonies
for Reiki Pillows and Quilts
by Dragonfly Dream Pillows

Diana’s
testimony on Nakota’s quilt:
I had asked
Jeri to make a “quilt” for my Australian Shepherd, Nakota, who
stopped wanting to go with me in the truck for longer drives; he
kept telling me that the truck was hurting him; I am an Animal
Communicator and a Traditional Reiki Master. I had family visit
from Kentucky in August and my cousin, Alice, was riding in the back
bench seat with Nakota and she told me, “Why do you make Nakota ride
in the truck when he is having so much back pain?” (It is always
Nakota’s choice to ride in the truck, I do not force him). This is
when I realized I needed a quilt for just him, so that he could reap
the healing energies for himself.
When Jeri
sent it to me, I loved the design of it and the Spirit Energies were
very strong and I thought I would try it myself, when the message
came through fast, “WE are only for Nakota.” So I left it on the
floor and Nakota checked it out and wouldn’t lie on it, till I put
it in the truck:
“Nakota
totally became ONE with the quilt/cover you made for him going and
coming back from the Ola, Idaho area where we walk on Sunday’s; he
just kind of melted into it! He is now sleeping on it every night
too!”
What a
difference in his body language now; he enjoys the rides more and
when he needs to lie down, he tries hard to become the quilt and he
looks very comfortable.
Love and gratitude, Diana

I had heard
about Jeri's massage table covers and already first hand knowledge
of the quality and power of her work from the four pillows she
has made for me, decided that the cover would greatly enhance the
Reiki sessions for my clients and I ordered one. Upon receiving it
and opening the package, I was literally left speechless from the
beauty of this "table cover" and considered hanging this work of art
on the wall and not even using it for my clients, but I couldn't
resist trying it out for myself.
After just a few minutes of lying on it I actually had to turn and
air conditioner on which was less than a foot away from me and put
it on full power to keep from sweating! This kept up for almost tow
weeks of daily sessions on myself. My body has since acclimated to
the awesome energies of my table cover, now it feels like sitting in
a heated car seat.
Thank you Jeri
for sharing your phenomenal gift and talents with me!
Patrick Feeney, Berwyn, Il. February 2007
Testimonial from Loren, Idaho:
“Thank you for the wonderful pillows. They have a lovely feeling.”
Testimonial from Laura, Boise, Idaho:
“The first time I held the Rainbow/heart pillow it filled my entire body
with warmth and peace. Thanks.”
Testimonial from Traci, Meridian, Idaho: “I sleep with my
pillow and have
been having the most amazing dreams. My mom loved holding my pillow as
I did Reiki on her. My son is holding his pillow and finding that if
something is
troubling him, he holds the pillow and soon has the answers he is
looking for.”
Testimonial from Alice, Kentucky: “Your pillows are
awesome!
I have been having trouble with my knee for the last month and
one day with my pillow, I found a lot of relief.”
