I was feeling extremely “subdued”, very low energy… [and had] a 90 minute session with a wonderful woman [Linda Backes]. We talked, I did some exploration into feelings … then she did Reiki on me. I feel very good now – like coming from no life to feeling fully alive = wonderful. She CLEARED ME OF NEGATIVE BLOCKS, AND THE ENERGY IS FLOWING NOW. I AM TINGLING FROM HEAD TO TOE. I get a massage every two weeks, and I have never felt this good after.

Thank you for all you did to help me get past the biggest spiritual stumbling block of this lifetime. And thank you for the attunement some months ago that has me forever changed and connected me with the earth and the ancient past. I’m sure this new energy (to me) will guide my footsteps into the future. The last year has been one miracle after another. I’m so grateful to have you in my life. Sending you my love.

I did not go to see Linda with any firm purpose in mind, just with the strong feeling that it was time to work with her. We talked for a while and then decided I was indeed there for my first activation. Linda walked me through the entire process, told me I may hear a number (that would be the number of days for the integration to work through me), I may connect with an angel or guide etc. I relaxed and a few minutes into the activation as I no longer felt my physical body, I heard and saw the number 27. It is not a number that has too much significance in my life, but I remembered what Linda had said and tucked it away for later. I also got the name Uriel which I had heard of, but once again, had no true connection to. I felt my legs light up as if they were runway lights turning on one by one. Activating! It was an interesting, relaxing, and truly different experience all tied into one. Through it all, I felt safe with Linda in the driver’s seat. After I arrived home, I counted the 27 days and found my integration period would end just before a very significant date for me! It was uncanny and wonderful. Since the 27 days passed, I truly do feel more confident in messages I receive in the waking hours and during my energy work. I know I released some things that no longer benefit me as they were physical and not extremely pleasant, but necessary to release. I definitely feel more empowered and have had some powerful meditations (which are usually tough for me!). Awesome stuff working with this amazing lady. Thank you, thank you!!!

Dear Spiritual Sister, Thank you for being a great channeler and allowing the Ultimate source shine through you. A Reiki hug!! Love and Light.
Wowza! Did that DNA Light Body Activation energy do things. I feel like my life took a hit of speed and I’m getting downloads like crazy and the synchronicities are constant. I love it!

I would like to take a moment to thank you for the DNA Light Activation. What an amazing experience! During the initial part of the activation I was taken aback by the profound energies and the profound transformation that began taking place. That proved to be only the beginning of the journey towards the integration. My work is changing on a daily basis. I am able to use my gifts with more ease and grace. My path is becoming so much more clear. I am receiving such wonderful intergalactic and Spirit communication. You helped me to find a part of myself that was missing; my origin Star. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift, Linda. The work you do is truly amazing!! I am eternally grateful!!

Dear Linda, This week, [since my Reiki Attunement], I have been feeling many things. I have felt more connected with life. Although I was overtaken with sad feelings and found myself crying …releasing a lot of past emotions… I went into my room to relax and meditate. Today I actually saw the profile of my face which was looking down from above into a beautiful valley of of gold colors. I know this is only the beginning to something so powerful and beautiful that I can’t wait for more! Linda, I have you to thank for these beautiful experiences and and will treasure this special gift always.

Thank you for being the willing messenger that I needed – exactly when I needed it. I believe it’s too soon to tell exactly what my changes are, but I can tell you that in my heart, there is more room. It has expanded. My back – where I used to keep much tension – feels as though it isn’t mine. Not free of tension exactly as I had to hit the ground running late Monday night and then after only a few hours of sleep got back to a crazy day of work, but it feels different in that I need to become accustomed to how it feels. ALSO I’ve begun dreaming again. : ) I am looking forward with great and joyful anticipation to how our paths will cross again.

Linda is an amazing and beautiful Reiki master and teacher. She lead me through a wonderful experience receiving my Reiki II Atunements over several weeks culminating in a sacred ceremony where she created the most beautiful and loving space for welcoming me further into the realm of service through Reiki. I’m so incredibly grateful I found Linda and chose to enter into the experience with her. She is fun, real, beautiful, soulful, skilled and a delight to be with. Many infinite thanks, Linda!

What a pleasure it is to have connected with someone as powerful as you! You are a remarkable energy worker, wrapped in the Divine Light of the Angelic Realm. Metatron has also let me know how pleased the Angelic Realm is with your good work! It has been six weeks since you sent me the Light Body Activation. As you told me, it took about 4 weeks to be completely integrated. Some work was required on my part to release ideas that no longer serve me.I am amazed at the overall effect of this activation! Some of my psychic friends have commented that I “look” different and calmer. Readings that I do on a regular basis come through clearer and my blocks have been reduced. I have experienced some amazing connections in meditation. I also received an added bonus! I have mild Crohn’s disease of the intestines. During the activation, I could feel work being done on my abdomen. I have been feeling much better since your activation and the symptoms of my irritable bowel and Crohn’s is greatly reduced!Love & Light to you Linda, THANK YOU so much!
I love everything about this CD, and the music is out of this world!

Linda is a loving and sincere individual. She has a proven dedication to healing and as anyone who works with her will find she is a true professional. She is someone to count on as she follows through with her commitments. I appreciate the opportunity to work with her.
I am honored and blessed to have Linda as my Reiki Master. Reiki for me is about self-discovery and healing, not only for me, but for others as well. I found both of those during my Reiki Level 1 training. I have learned to honor and trust my body and its abilities. I look forward to continuing my journey with Linda into Reiki Level 2. If you have been drawn to this information, take the step. This is your answer.

You are a wonder! Please accept my sincere gratitude for the the energy you chanelled yesterday. I felt a deep shift, release, and change and have felt physically better since yesterday afternoon. Thanks again.

Like everyone else, I have been faced on more than one occasion with the need to forgive others as well as myself. This is sometimes easier said than done. After I discussed this with Linda Backes, she was kind enough to share her CD Embracing Forgiveness with me. What a God-sent! Linda’s gentle, loving voice, which is accompanied in the background by Janet Sussman’s soft, soothing music, guides you in calling upon the heavenly realm to help with releasing any anger, resentment, hurt, and guilt that you may have been suppressing for many years. Although I have only had the CD for less than a week, I have listened to it several times. Just when I think I have forgiven everyone that I need to forgive, including myself, another name comes bubbling to the surface during meditation to let me know that I still have more forgiving to do. Knowing that forgiveness is an ongoing task, I’ve downloaded the CD to my hard drive, so I can quickly access it with the touch of a button. Each time I access it, I’m amazed at how easy it is to slip into a meditative state and how cathartic the act of forgiveness can be. I hope everyone takes advantage of this great CD to help them with the cleansing and healing act of forgiveness.

Dearest Friend:The reading you did for me today was unusual. I had never heard of the Mystical Fochaadams, but it did reaffirm what my higher self already knew but had a hard time bringing into focus.[Your reading] also gave me an awareness about my life and hope for the future. Linda, you truly have a wonderful gift. Thank you.Love and Light,

I was instructed several years ago of the importance of cord cuttings, but didn’t have a method to perform them. With Linda’s guidance to ask Archangel Michael to assist me while using the fire portal, I was able to develop a method that works wonders. We invoked AA Michael to cut all negative cords and I visualized the cords retracting into the violet fire. I visualized the cord burning and transmuting into white light to return to the universal field of energy. Archangel Raphael was invoked to place a healing balm on the wounds to seal them, rendering me whole and complete. As a lightworker and Reiki Master, I feel that these cord cuttings need to be done regularly. I truly feel better than ever. Thanks for your help, Linda!

Having Linda as my Reiki Master for my Mastery level and teacher training was both an honor and a privilege. Her training was thorough and she took the time and effort to include much information pertaining to Reiki treatments and the teaching process for the three levels of Reiki. Some topics covered included energy fields, meditation techniques, and psychic protection. In addition, Linda educated me on essential oils and crystals, and how these healing modalities can be integrated into a Reiki treatment. I feel blessed that the Universal Life Energy Force brought Linda and me together. I look forward to continuing to learn from Linda in the future.
