What is Mouse Vision? Mouse Vision brings your inner awareness down to the level of daily life, and a grounded way of perceiving your life through detail, presence, and intuitive timing. Reiki reveals what matters now and how to move forward with clarity and steadiness. Mouse Vision is especially supportive when life feels full, attention feels scattered, or you sense movement but are unsure of timing.  Mouse Vision works hand in hand with Eagle Vision by translating expanded awareness into grounded action you can apply right away. This video covers: • How Mouse Vision brings clarity through detail and presence • Why grounded awareness is a form of intuition • How Reiki filters distraction and highlights what matters now • Recognizing patterns, timing, and resources already present • Understanding your next step through practical perception This is Part 3 of the Eagle Mouse Vision 5 week series. Each week builds on the last, guiding you from expanded awareness, into grounded clarity, and toward Inner Vision.

Enter a deeply grounded state of awareness through this Guided Reiki Journey into Mouse Vision. This experience brings your consciousness close to the earth where subtle details, intuitive signals, and the practical steps on your path become visible. Mouse Vision reveals what has been right in front of you and helps you understand what supports your next movement forward. In this journey, you will • Cross the Bridge of Light • Visit the River of Life to let go of scattered energy • Shrink your awareness into the Realm of Mouse • See your path behind, around, and just ahead • Identify what you are releasing and what you are taking with you • Receive a gift of grounded clarity • Return through the Bridge of Light with renewed perception Reiki guides the entire experience, offering a gentle and steady field of light that helps you see the details, rhythms, and resources already present in your life. This journey pairs with Eagle Vision to create a complete perspective of higher sight and close-in discernment. Th

If you have been sensing movement in your life without a clear view of where it is leading, Eagle Vision offers the clarity you have been waiting for. In this discussion we explore how Reiki lifts your awareness into a higher perspective where direction, timing, purpose, and the next step become easier to understand. This session opens Week 2 of our five week Eagle Mouse Vision series and prepares you for the Eagle Vision Guided Journey that will be released in the next video.

Reiki supports this shift by lifting your consciousness through the Reiki symbols and the Bridge of Light and revealing the soul level movement taking place in your path. In this teaching we explore: • How expanded perception creates clarity • What higher awareness reveals about purpose and timing • How Reiki shows the patterns shapin
