3rd Principle of Reiki

The 3rd Principle of Reiki

I am GRATEFUL!!!!!

The 3rd Principle of Reiki is: Just for today, I will be
grateful.

This principle is seemingly a bit easier to realize and
exercise than some of the others. But what is being grateful? What does gratitude mean to you?
 
Gratitude can be just as simple as saying thank you,
smiling, saying good words, appreciating the simple things we often take for granted, or forgiveness. Gratitude can improve the lives of others, which in
turn, heals our hearts and others'.

The most important aspect to remember about Gratitude is intention. It is our inner intention that matters most and will effect how our Gratitude is perceived. When we open our hearts and nurish the Spirit of Love in a pure way, it brings joy not only to our Spirits but those that we love as well.

To activate the Principle of Gratitude within ourselves we can take a second out of our busy days, and with one breath - open our hearts, and quickly scan all of the good things in our lives and what we are thankful for. Take a second to deeply appreciate what we have been given and reflect on how these positive things effect our lives. Then, it's up to you if and how you want to show your appreciation and love towards others!


I am deeply grateful for my children, husband, family, friends, experiences, awareness, connection with God, love, breath of life, and opportunities to share miracles with others. They are the Light during times of darkness. All else falls to the side when I concentrate on what I am truly grateful for in this Life. They fill my heart with joy, raise my Spirit, and solidify my path in this lifetime.

Graditude. Awareness. Appreciation. Love.

What are you grateful for?

A New Take on Rain

A New Take on Rain

Many of us view rainy days as gloomy and depressing. Rainy days can seem dark, dreary, and can dampen your mood. However, rainy days are what we make of them...
 
Today, let's look at them as refreshing, cleansing, and healing. Rain sustains life for the living things that depend on it. We can use rain to sustain ourselves as well. As the rain falls gently to Mother Earth, we can ...visualize it washing away our problems, anxiety, sadness, etc. We just need to let go. As our heaviness seeps into the welcoming
ground, we visualize our problems transforming and blooming into flowers of love, releasing light and positivity throughout the world. 

So, gloomy and depressing? Or healing and refreshing? 

What is rain to you?

2nd Principle of Reiki

The 2nd Principle of Reiki

The 2nd Principle of Reiki states: Just for today, Do Not Worry

How can I incorporate this 2nd principle in my modern day life?

We can can empower this statement and bring it into action in our lives by stating, "I release thoughts of worry from my mind."

Neal Harris, a liscensed clinical professional counsler, RMT IARP, and managing director of Relax4Life, suggests that we think about the times of day that we engage in worry and see if we can recognize the worry that lives inside us. Dive into this feeling and ponder these questions...Am creating a situation where I am worrying about a future event that hasn't even happened yet? Is is possible that this event may NOT affect me in a negative way or have a negative emotional impact on me if I do not have this worry energy inside me already? If your answer is yes, then it is necessary to concentrate on flushing out this "worry energy" so that you may be able to function freely, without any emotional anxiety, and enjoy that future event to the fullest.

How do I flush out this "worry energy"?

~Exercise
~Talking to a friend or therapist
~Meditation/Prayer
~Massage
~Reiki-A wonderfully proven technique that helps release stagnant worry energy. Reiki energy bursts up the worry emotion and transform this energy to helping and healing energy for growth.
~Mental Visualization-Here is one techniqe that is effective in draining negative energy while grounding you at the same time:
Stand with you feet firmly planted. Imagine large thick tree roots, rooting into the ground. Close your eyes and envision a beautiful white light surrounding your entire being. With a few large breaths, envision all of your worry and tension draining down your body-starting from your head and working it's way down to your feet-with every exhale. Feel and see the worry and anxiety drain down into those large tree roots, emptying away from your body and energy field. Continue to do this as many times as necessary, until you feel relaxed, in control, and free of the "worry energy." If you are religious or spiritual, ask whatever Deity you are comfortable with to bless and protect this beautiful white bubble you are in and help transform this new energy into healing energy of growth. You are now more equipped to face whatever event you have coming without the worry to accompany it.

Enjoy life's moments to the fullest, without the burden of worry.
