Mornin’ all…
Already it is the 3rd January! Christmas and New Year celebrations fade into the background once more…
On Christmas Eve we were invited by our new neighbours for lunch. And a jolly nice lunch it was too! We tried some Black Bun, which is a Scottish thing, like a tea loaf wrapped in pastry…
…and it does taste a lot nicer than it sounds 
Morgan and David, the new neighbours, have a smashing 4 year old son, called Hugh, and as children do, he wanted to play ‘monsters’
Fortunately DC came with us, so he got to play the monster!
It was lovely to hear the squeals of delight as the monster got closer. But afterwards it got me thinking just how like life that is.
We love to dice with danger…
We enjoy the thrills and spills…
We love to be chased, as long as we have a ‘safe area’ that the monster cannot get us in… usually Mum’s lap… ha ha ha!!!
But have you noticed how in grown-up life we often draw the ‘monster experiences’ to us too…
I don’t mean monster people chasing us, although that does happen, but the thrilling experiences of losing your job…
The financial brink of extinction… ha ha ha!!!
Being backed into a corner with no escape…
‘Accidents’ that challenge even the bravest of us…
We love the drama, the challenge, the thrill… the bloomin’ ALIVENESS of it all… ha ha ha!!!
And if we are not experiencing some sort of ‘personal episode’ at the moment, we tend to create one by poking, pleading and cajoling, until the monster that is life gears up into action again.
Then we FEEL ALIVE
Then we have a purpose, a direction, a cause to fight for, or against…!
Now, at this time of the year we are often asked “What’s your poison?”… (referring, of course, to what alcoholic drink you may prefer).
But perhaps it should be referring to our…
Rotten relationships, dead end jobs or total disrespect for our bodies instead.
Has this anything to do with Reiki? Why yes it has
As we grow-up, we get too big for Mum’s lap or Dad’s strong arms. And one day they will no longer be there for us.
So we have to create our own safe haven, our own retreat.
And how can we do that?
By using Reiki on yourself each and every day to create that centre of balance and harmony within…
…so, no matter who’s chasing you or whichever corner you feel backed into, there’s a safe and trusted part of YOU, that you can retreat into for reassurance and guidance.
There is a part of you that knows why you chose/choose your particular poison.
And with Reiki you can gently wean yourself off it and maintain your equilibrium.
For your monsters and poisons are very addictive but in a strange and sometimes cruel way, also very necessary…
…for they drive you forward to create the perfect life you desire.
By showing you what you don’t want, they help to clarify what you do want…
So in this special New Year and New Decade, let’s all be a little more forgiving of our own ‘considered failures’ and together support and love each other until we create that Perfect Life
Not forgetting, of course, that Life really is perfick right now!
Until next week…
Judith
