DEBORAH AND PETER'S AMAZING LOVE STORY
We first met over 40 years ago in Astoria, Oregon. We had mutual friends and through the years we occasionally connected. In the mid 1970s Deborah was among those who piled into Peter’s van bound to California for a wedding where Peter was the best man. A few years later Deborah traded a hand-made jacket for one of Peter’s paintings.
At our early encounters we treated each other with kindness and respect - we never dated.
Years passed. We moved along separate paths, with important relationships, marriages, children, and grandchildren. In our own ways we cultivated love, compassion, and wisdom.
In June 2015 we both found ourselves single. At a party for a dear friend outside Shively Hall in Astoria we saw each other across a playground. Deborah had just arrived and walked directly toward Peter to greet an old friend stepping into his arms. We each report the experience as a comfortable homecoming. Later, we surprised each other with a first kiss. An extraordinary kiss.
Deborah invited Peter to begin a series of Reiki treatments at her home space in Beaverton where she was operating a Life Coach and Reiki Service. Once a week Peter drove to Oregon City for business meetings and on his way home he would stop to see Deborah for a Reiki session. From his first Reiki session he felt a comfortable release like a coming home. He went home and slept deeply for the first time in many years. Moving gently and respectfully we got to know each other all over and in new ways. We saw ourselves reflected in each other in ways that thrilled our souls. We used reiki a lot at first and Deborah trained Peter. Our love for each other grew as our love for reiki grew. We began to support each other’s emotional and physical healing. Together we cultivated spiritual strength, faith, and gratitude to the Creator which has only further enhanced our love.
Our love affair continues to blossom in amazing and effortlessly comfortable ways.
Healing energies aligned with Ascended Masters have infused our partnership. Reiki played a central role in healing a serious neurological condition that had plagued Peter for over a dozen years.
Deborah trained Peter in Usui Reiki, and he achieved Master Level in June 2016. It soon became apparent that sharing this healing and life enhancing love-energy was a major part of the life’s purpose that brought us together.
Deborah has had deep emotional wounds around relationships of the heart all of her life. It was so very difficult for her to trust in her own heart's knowing of what love was because of the trauma of a first love's suicide. Her story was published in Reiki News Magazine. It's a story of religious trauma. Usui Reiki helped to prepare her for real love with Peter and the love keeps growing deeper and more refined every day we spend together.
We now work together guided by the Ascended Masters to spread the power of Usui Reiki. We facilitate healing for others to access their unique personal experience of this pure energy. Our dream is to empower and nurture people to build a relationship of trust in Usui Reiki and – if they in turn choose to teach others – exponentially expand the vision of a healthy, peaceful, loving Earth.
Thank you so much for experiencing this celebration of the commitments that we have made to each other; the love that we reaffirm every day. May each of you know unfathomable love, boundless energy, and unshakable peace of mind!
