Hi everyone…
Happy Halloween or All Saints/Souls Day 
Nothing like a bit of Parkin (sticky treacle cake, famous in Yorkshire) and a nice cup of tea to keep the spirits up…
Because, what seems like suddenly, we have dark evenings again, well, dark afternoons if we’re being pedantic 
…and all you want to do is close the curtains and wait until spring comes round again… ha ha ha!!!
But in this withdrawal and hibernation mode we go into, (well I certainly do!)…
…it is also a great time to go inwards, literally, too.
We can see what rubbish we have accumulated over the year and have a good sort through. And a good way to do that, of course, is to use your Reiki energy everyday on yourself.
Start of by doing the 12 hand positions for 3-5mins in each position.
Then when you begin to really know your Reiki, you can sit with one hand on your heart and one on your solar plexus and recharge your batteries and release stress, at a moment’s notice.
Even doing the hand positions for one minute in each, will make a huge difference to your day.
Just keep life simple
OK, let’s have a question…
Q… I have a silly question for you… how many times do we have to attune ourselves before we can go on. We have just kinda stopped for a few days and didn’t know if we should go on or what. I hope that you don’t think I’m stupid I just didn’t know.
And my answer…
A… No question is silly but I would suggest you slow down and read through your Reiki Package carefully.
It will explain everything for you.
There is a huge amount of information in your Reiki Package to absorb and get to grips with.
You may self attune yourself as many times as you like, or just the once… many go on to use it regularly like a meditation or a ‘top up’.
But, the Reiki ritual of attunement is to assist you in recognising that part of you, which is already Reiki…
…and if your intention is that you are a Reiki Master, then you are. You showed your commitment by doing the ceremony.
The Reiki symbols and rituals are keys to, use, demonstrate and FEEL this energy… inside and out.
But YOU are the power… YOU are the energy behind it all.
Again, I suggest that immediately after your self-attunement you run your Reiki energy on yourself for 30 days, using the 12 hand positions, as shown in your Reiki Package.
This quiet daily practice allows you to sense and become familiar and comfortable with your own energy.
It settles and steadies you, so you can become more decisive about where it is you want to ‘go’ with your Reiki.
Not everyone wants to heal the world
Then when you look back, you will see a definite change in your personal energy.
You will feel more calm and serene and your life will be flowing more elegantly.
And the way you approach life and handle situations will be so much easier.
You simply have to TRUST yourself, for you are the power behind your Reiki and you can ‘go anywhere you want’ with it
OK, just another quick one which is more a general question…
Q… Do I come to you to acquire certificates?
And my answer…
A… Firstly, we do not sell certificates or give them to anyone who is not a Chikara-Reiki-Do Master.
No certificates come ‘in’ the Reiki Package. They must be requested from us and each is personally prepared and sent manually.
So, as soon as you have completed your self-attunement, as described in your Ultimate Reiki Package, just…
Use the request form in section 7 of your Reiki Package and…
Let us have the date of your attunement and your name as you would like it to appear…
Then we will send your certificate by email, for you to print out on good paper.
It is a 3 in 1 certificate and is valid for insurance.
At the same time you may also request your 3 student certificate templates and your lineage.
I know in this day and age you have to have a certificate and vaccination for just about everything but always remember if you can do something, if you have a talent, then own it, use it and share it.
YOU are the POWER behind it all…
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose”
Dr Seuss
Now, here is a lovely song to play us out and brighten your day… do sing along to the words and let them settle in your heart and being…
Until next next week…
