There are a handful of spiritual algorithms that govern our reality. Sometimes these are called Natural Laws. I did a few videos on 5 of them that govern our reality.
Spiritual Algorithms #1 - The Law of Attraction
Spiritual Algorithms #2 - The Law of Cause & Effect
Spiritual Algorithm #3 - The Law of Divine Oneness
Spiritual Algorithms #4 - The Law of Resonance
Spiritual Algorithms #5 - The Law of Divine Timing

Hey Friends,
For September I am offering Access Bars sessions for $75
I recently presented “A Hacker’s Guide to Mindfulness” for an Information Security company’s corporate offsite event. This was custom training I created specifically for this group.
While I’m not sharing the training broadly (coaching clients please ask), I can provide samples for anyone that is interested in a corporate wellness package. We can offer a one time event, quarterly training or monthly options.
Why? / What does your business receive from the training?
"Reduce Stress in the Workplace": Corporate mindfulness coaching can help employees develop coping mechanisms to handle stress and anxiety, leading to a more relaxed and productive work environment.
"Enhance Productivity": By learning mindfulness techniques, employees can improve their focus and concentration, which leads to increased productivity and efficiency.
"Improve Work-Life Balance": Corporate mindfulness coaching can help employees create a healthier work-life balance by managing their time and reducing burnout.
"Boost Employee Engagement and Morale": By providing mindfulness coaching, companies can show that they care about their employees' well-being, leading to increased engagement and morale.
"Develop Emotional Intelligence": Mindfulness training can help employees become more aware of their emotions and develop greater emotional intelligence, which can lead to more effective communication and collaboration in the workplace.
"Create a Positive Workplace Culture": Mindfulness coaching can help create a more positive workplace culture, where employees are more empathetic, respectful, and compassionate towards one another.
"Improve Decision-Making": By learning to approach decisions with a clear and calm mind, employees can make better decisions that are grounded in reason rather than emotion.
"Reduce Employee Turnover": Offering mindfulness coaching as a benefit can help reduce employee turnover by showing employees that the company cares about their well-being and wants to invest in their personal and professional development.
I did a series of posts on Instagram. Sharing them here so they dont get lost to the ether :-)
^^ One of the easiest ways to get started with breath work. If 4 count is too much it can be 2, or 3. or if 4 is not challenging enough you can work up to 8 or 10 seconds.
April Special:
Light-Sound-Crystal Reiki Session
This Reiki session is ~75 minutes long and is a combination of Light Therapy, Crystal Therapy, Sound Therapy using [primarily] solfeggio frequencies but the practitioner may also incorporate singing bowls, drums, rattles, tuning forks, or crystal singing pyramids during the session as they feel intuitively called.
This week I was honored to be on the Seeking Sabiduria Podcast!
From the show description:
Check out the newest episode of @seekingsabiduria podcast 💥 with this week’s guest, Chris, the founder of @theskybeckons
Chris is a spiritual fitness coach, energy healer, and hacker who guides people on their healing journey to find self-love, connect with their inner child and identify their life purpose through energy healing, coaching, education, and accountability.
We had a great convo about Chris’s own healing story, how he found reiki, his plant medicine experience, the reiki session he held for me, and Chris gives wonderful advice for people on their spiritual journey.

I was on the Speak! podcast with Brandi Bee Love! you can check out the episode below.
We discuss Reiki, plant medicine, inner child healing, trauma, and hacking :-)
Playing with ChatGPT and I asked it to create a reiki manual. The answer is below:
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan and has been practiced for over 100 years. It involves the transfer of energy from the practitioner to the recipient through touch, with the goal of balancing the recipient's energy and promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
To practice Reiki, there are several key principles and techniques that you will need to learn:
The Reiki principles: The Reiki principles are a set of guiding principles that are meant to be followed in all aspects of life, not just during a Reiki session. They include: just for today, do not anger, do not worry, be grateful, work with diligence, and be kind to others.
Hand positions: There are several standard hand positions that are used in Reiki, each of which corresponds to a specific area of the body. Some common hand positions include the head, neck, and shoulders, the abdomen, and the feet.
Preparing for a session: Before beginning a Reiki session, it is important to create a peaceful and comfortable environment. This may involve lighting candles or incense, playing soft music, or ensuring that the room is at a comfortable temperature.
Giving a Reiki session: To give a Reiki session, the practitioner will place their hands on or near the recipient's body in the designated hand positions. The practitioner will then allow the energy to flow through their hands and into the recipient's body, using their intuition to guide the flow of energy.
Reiki symbols: Reiki practitioners may use specific symbols during a session to focus and amplify the energy. These symbols are typically learned through Reiki training and are kept secret within the Reiki community.
Closing a session: After a Reiki session is complete, it is important to ground and protect your energy. This can be done through a variety of techniques, such as visualizing a white light surrounding your body or using a grounding stone.
It is important to note that Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment, and practitioners should always recommend that clients seek medical care if they have any health concerns.
I hope this basic manual serves as a helpful introduction to the practice of Reiki. As with any form of energy work, it is important to continue learning and growing as a practitioner, and to always approach your work with an open mind and a compassionate heart.
I’m happy to announce my Intuitive Counseling offering is now live!
Description:
Intuitive Counseling is a form of psychotherapy where the practitioner utilizes their intuition to uncover what the client may not be consciously aware of. Chris uses his intuition and psychic abilities to access this unconscious information and bring it the client’s conscious awareness. This is a one-on-one holistic experience using energy work, psychology, connections with spirit guides, and personal experience to help you realign with your soul’s purpose. He does this by analyzing your current family/relationship dynamics, your family history, life circumstances and experiences, beliefs and programming, and where you feel stuck to arrive at answers and insight to heal, get unstuck, and empower you to develop a path forward living your soul’s purpose with focused intention and action.
This was a 6 month journey of personal discovery and healing where I was forced to use my coaching skills and intuitive abilities (working with guides and angels) to assist clients with uncovering where they were subconsciously stuck in their lives and relationships. The final exam for certification involved performing an intuitive counseling session for someone I hadn’t met. All I had was their first name!

I was asked to do a Reiki 101 class for an Employee Resource Group at work. Afterwards I gave the talk to a friend so I could record it and share.
A common question I see posted on various forums and that is frequently posed to me is “How do I change my (life) experiences?”
Many many teachers have talked about how to do this but it starts with understanding:
Your experiences are a direct result from your Thoughts & Beliefs and your Feelings & Emotions
Your brain sends the same chemicals when you remember an event as they do when you are experiencing event. This is why just thinking about or remembering a past wrong or situation can make us upset or sad or happy.
If you want to change your experiences (or reality), you must change the inputs to your behavior—>experience loop.
The easiest place to do this are the Thoughts / Beliefs inputs as mastering and changing Feelings and Emotions is a bit more difficult.
Most of our core beliefs about the world were programmed in at a very early age and most people don’t spend much time thinking about their relevancy, universal applicability, and the if we want to keep those beliefs for ourselves. Heck, most people dont even know they can dump (limiting) beliefs that arent useful for you.
The following image demonstrates the above cycle.
Another way to view this cycle is below:
Our programming, which began at an early age, perpetuates most of these thoughts and beliefs. Most of these are Brules (Bullshit Rules). The don’t apply to everyone and they don’t HAVE TO apply to you once you decide they don’t need to.
How do we start to notice brules or our thoughts and beliefs? There are many coaching quizzes you can take to get a sense of your beliefs and core values but meditation and mindfulness are another important way to begin to take stock of your current thoughts, beliefs, feelings and emotions. When you are feeling upset you start working backwards on why you are feeling that way, what triggered it, what belief has you upset or feeling unheard or less than, what thoughts were brought about by that situation. Did you react or respond to the situation.
Lastly, the above is core to my coaching practice and something I do with each client. We also go into depth about limiting beliefs in the Infinite Possibilities class. If either of those are of interest to you please reach out for more information.
Attention is Energy and Energy is currency (Energetic Currency). You give your energy to situations, events, news, people, thoughts, beliefs, fears, hopes, loves, etc
As an example, we can take the concept and extend it to energetic coins. Say I have 10 energetic currency coins in which I can place them (and my attention) on things. My energy|personal power is then attached to those things until I deploy them elsewhere. Here’s the rub, if I'm not conscious and deliberate on where I put those coins they end up being placed in non-important and non-useful locations leaving me no coins for things I truly value or where they are actually needed.
This has also been shown to me as a house in the summer trying to keep the cold air while keeping multiple windows open. You have to identify the open windows and shut them. Many of these windows you don't even know are open until you go look for them (Self Observation).
If you are exhausted, distracted, and have no energy to do the things that actually matter to you, then I’d suggest you take a look at where you are currently deploying your energetic currency.
Energetic Currency Traps
"We waste so much currency (energy) on fighting up against truth....spiritual truths, universal truths, uncovering truth. When really, if we were to just allow everyone to be in their own truth, we would have so much energetic currency to create a New Earth.......True freedom really requires an availability of energetic currency. Because if your currency is being siphoned into something that is like a mini war in your life or on the planet, you don't really have it available to you to live this true and sovereign life that we came to live." ~Micheila Sheldan
Begin to take stock of where your energetic currency is placed. Set the intention to notice where you place your energetic coins each day and decide if it's a useful deployment of your attention.
Time Slot Machines:
If your attention is projected outward on time wasters and distractions like social media and games then it’s not available when you want to use it.
“Changing” People’s Minds:
Is changing the mind of a stranger on the internet your true inner calling? Is that stranger in a position and mindset to receive? Are you spending time you normally charge people for or time you normally get paid for on people who don't value your time?
Things “I” object to:
How much or energetic currency do we expend with all of our "objections" throughout the day? Consciously deploying our or our is key. This video from The Nagual Zone was really eye opening when I started to pay attention to my objections throughout the day.
Stop This & Gain Lots Of Energy - The Nagual Zone| Carlos Castaneda| Don Juan Matus
And a personal take by Chris:
I object - pt 1 | The Sky Beckons
Fixation on the Past or Future:
Need to focus on the now - the past is unchangeable and the future is yet to come. If you are busy focusing on either of those you miss opportunities NOW.
Hack Chat // Chris Gates // Positivity and Becoming a Red Team Leader
Was honored to be on Hack Chat with Marco talking about both my tech life and my metaphysical life. What do you think? The 2nd half is more of the spiritual component.
Those of you who have seen The Secret or practice Law of Attraction know this reality has a bit of a delay built in. But did you also know they Universe will come back and ask “You sure?!”
When we decide to make life changes, within a short time of announcing that change to the Universe we will get an opportunity to test our desire to make and keep that change. If you’ve decided to be more patient with the kids or work, go on a diet, or pick up a new habit. You’ll receive a test or echo of the old behaviors, people testing your willingness to behave differently, or an opportunity to do what you said you’d do going forward.
Just something to be aware of. Now that you know it’s coming you can be prepared.

The mission of The Sky Beckons is to re-awaken and make clients aware of their “always on” connection with Source through coaching, education, and energy work which leads to personal experiences with our own personal power and Source.
If you’ve found this page you’re potentially doing really well according to “everyone else” but feeling like something isn’t complete or something is missing. That’s what it was like for me. I had a resume with tech jobs anyone would kill for (Facebook, Uber, Cruise) but I hated what I was doing. I had a house full of people but I felt alone. I had a 5 figure twitter following but felt like I had no people who understood who I really was and I had to be someone I wasn’t to make everyone else happy. I was depressed and didn’t want to be on this planet anymore. I filled my void with material things but was never satisfied after the initial buying rush wore off.
What’s missing is that you are not living the life you incarnated here to live; at least not at this stage. The feeling that something is missing is your soul speaking to you to do something different.
Desired outcomes after working with me:
Understand the Body—>Mind—>Soul triad
Understand this reality’s Brules (Bullshit Rules) and how to free yourself of them
Understand your tolerations and boundaries and learn how to enforce your boundaries with others
Understand the eternal nature of our soul and our always on connection with Source
Understand your avatar’s default characteristics based on astrology and numerology
Understand your Dharma and what you are meant to be doing to fulfill your soul’s purpose
Awaken your intuitive abilities for your own confidence and guidance via psychic exercises and a regular mediation routine
Clients understand and embody:
How reality works in this incarnation
How our thoughts, beliefs, and actions become the reality experience
How we can “hack” reality by understanding the “thoughts become things” process and using self observation to identify and change beliefs we want to change
Energy work to improve our personal state
Exercises to enhance our psychic abilities
Conscious Reality Creation
Hit me up via the contact form for a free 15 minute hello call (over Zoom) or we can start with a Distance Reiki session

The Buddhist concept of right speech
“And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, and from idle chatter: This is called right speech.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_Eightfold_Path#Right_speech
Right Speech is a mindfulness practice. When undertaking this practice, we commit to greater awareness of our body, mind, and emotions and how those blend into the words we speak to others. As lightworkers we tend to be somewhat mindful of or more deliberate in our speech to others but I tend to not apply the same level of care to myself. But right speech is not just to others but right speech to ourselves and right speech to our bodies all the way down to the cells of our body.
Cells listen to the commands we give them and if we constantly tell them we are sick, broken, fail, tired, etc they obey in a similar way that our subconscious does when we say negative things about ourselves.
In the Useful Things To Be Saying To Your Cells, Ian Brown points out that – ““Cells are hoarders of emotions, of thoughts, and of previous experiences and nothing is given up unless you tell them to let go.”
Therese Wade, MSc in Your Cells Are Listening: How Talking to Your Body Can Help You Heal, gives these additional tips:
Approach your body with genuine compassion, understanding that it is made up of conscious cells who experience emotions.
Build trust by engaging your body in positive mental conversations about your desire for the two of you to cooperate and overcome the ailment.
Allow changes in the conversation by using different thoughts and words that elicit spontaneous elevated emotions.
and CG says here “Continue to treat yourself and talk to yourself (all the way down to your cells) with love and kindness.” :-)
