A Day To Remember

Hi everyone

Well, November seems to be getting busy these days what with Halloween – All Saints Day, American elections, Guy Fawkes Night, Remembrance Sunday, Thanksgiving and Chris’s Mother’s birthday… ha ha ha!

All that cooking…! All those pies There’s a pie for almost every occasion these days…

Pumpkin pie, all American apple pie, sticky sausage pie, Humble pie, Turkey pie and even a How Nice to See You pie…

And, I must confess to baking several pies a week since discovering the joys frozen pastry… ha ha ha!

So, if you want some ‘leftovers’ you’ll find them in my pies

Today is Remembrance Sunday here in the UK, where we remember all those brave warriors and heroes of past and present human conflicts.

In the midst of death is also life and even though the glorious dead are not forgotten today perhaps we should also remember those who did survive, who are often shunned, ignored or mistreated.

They are the unsung heroes whose personal memories we cannot erase or whose bodies we often cannot repair…

So to Albert my Grandfather and Jim-san, my friend and all you other warriors out there… thank you…

You are all warrior-heroes in my eyes!

OK then, also here in the UK the build up to Christmas is upon us already, although I am trying hard to ignore it at the shops.

There’s only so much preparation beforehand that one can do…

And by the time we get to Christmas I’ve had enough sprouts, fruit cake slices, and pre-Christmas treats to last me the rest of the year.

But I do have a very nice recipe for curried chicken or turkey pie

So as you may well be getting busier this week, what with one thing or another, I’m just going to answer two short questions.

Which means now is a good time to put your feet up with a cuppa and sit back and listen to my dulcet tones…ha ha ha!

Okay then, here’s the first question…

Dear Judith,

I have read your 7 part mini course… thank you.

Began practising on the root chakra but a bit confused about symbols etc, so read all of the 7 parts and then some of your articles.

Thank you again, you make sense!

…Except, you speak of self attuning and then suddenly speak of “doing it all for us” “switching it on” etc.

Isn’t this a contradiction with what you have been saying?

With warm wishes for your endeavour and blessings on your generosity.

C.

And my answer…

Hi C

Life itself is a contradiction, a dichotomy, a conundrum but…

When I do the Usui distant attunement, I am simply adding my intention to the intention you put out yourself, when performing your own self attunement.

You open yourself up to, and fully acknowledge and accept, the existence of your own Reiki energy within you – and I enhance your intention with mine.

I help flick that internal switch within you as well, but you don’t really need me to do this.

Call it “Belt and Braces” if you like Or an added bonus…

Champion…

And the second short question…

Hi there,

I’m so happy I found your course online! I’ve long wanted to become a Reiki master.

Do you know of a way that I could have a hands-on (not distance) Reiki practice AND travel the world?

I am having a deep desire to do healings AND be a nomad, there must be a way for those two to mix synergistically.

I have no savings to go on, just faith

Thank you so much for your help.

Warm regards, N

Hi N

A brilliant question…

It is so important to follow your dreams and simply to be in harmony with your own nature.

I don’t know your country or what might be feasible but for me, I would buy a RV/campervan and travel around doing the fairs.

You know, the alternative health shows, psychic fairs, gatherings, rock festivals etc.

All you would need is a sign board and a portable couch… and you’re sorted

I’m sure you would meet a whole host of other interesting characters on your journeys too.

There is a magazine in England which lists all the fairs and festivals for the coming year and at each one you will undoubtedly hear of more.

This might be the best way to combine your wishes.

—————

Having Reiki in your life can be like having a flexible friend…

At times of stress it can relax you.

Can’t sleep..? It can give you peaceful dreams.

Feeling poorly..? It can heal your underlying emotional upset.

Need a job..? It can clear your vision and allow in new ideas.

Whatever the problem Reiki can help YOU to deal with it.

It will not fix the ‘problem’ it will fix you, which is where the problem first arose!

So if you appear to be experiencing a problem of any sort… consider fixing the source…YOU …with your own unique expression of Reiki.

Now that is a handy skill to have to hand, literally… ha ha ha!

Until next week folks…

Judith
