Mornin’ all…
This week saw my old school friend buried and even though we hadn’t spoken for years it seems sad for someone so young to go.
When someone you know so intimately dies, a little of you dies too…
…they take with them memories that only you and they shared at the time.
The mischief and mayhem that Andy and I got up to as teenagers will soon be long forgotten – with only me left to smile at the memories… ha ha ha!!!
We had some good times!!! – There are no accidents and life goes on for living 
But with that in mind I thought this an appropriate question to answer…
Q… Can Reiki be used to cope with grief?
It’s been almost 3 months since my hubby passed away, and I am getting worse with time.
And my answer…
A… Yes, Reiki is excellent for grief. It allows you to love and care for yourself and give you some clarity for the future…
But…
It is probably best if you go to a practitioner for a few treatments to start with, especially if you feel so down at the moment.
For it can be hard to ‘do for ourselves’ at such times.
Anything ‘touching’ would also be good for you… massage and reflexology too.
And, combined with Reiki even better
Please do not ‘try’ to be better. Allow yourself to slip into being ‘worse’ first.
Treat yourself to days in bed and weeping buckets. Feel sorry for yourself and angry with your husband… wallow in your grief first. Be in it totally.
Be the very ‘worst’ you can be… because it always gets worse before it gets better
Only then you will be able to move forward…
Now, I know this is a horrid time of the year to be in the garden but it is also a time to do some tidying up out there and cutting back – or whatever the proper terms are before any new growth comes in the spring and overwhelms you.
This question will be great for those down under who are just in spring but also for anyone who loves plants and growing things
Q… How can I do Reiki on plants in the garden to make them grow better?
And my answer…
A… First, Reiki the water you are using or the feed for the plants.
Reiki charge a crystal and pop it in your rain barrel too.
You could also draw the symbols on cards and push these into the soil near the plants.
Or again Reiki charge crystals and place these around your garden.
When you water with a watering can or hose pipe, draw out the symbols over the plants using the water.
Plant your bedding plants out in the pattern of the symbols
You can also ‘walk the symbols’ into large areas, especially your lawn
(Which you might not want to do if it grows as quickly as our does!)
Hope these suggestions give you something to work on.
Now, I know you all like me to include photos, so here are some of this year’s giant mushrooms from up our back driveway…
I have never seen such big fungi anywhere else! In a matter of days they grow huge but still seem to blend in magically and are hard to spot… ha ha ha!!!
They grow much, much bigger than our dinner plates. And talking of which…
I had better baste the beast and pop the tatties in… ha ha ha!!!
Until next week
Judith.
