Good mornin’ all
Oh dear…we spoke too soon as the weather has taken a chilly and damp turn for the worse 
Still, on the bright side, we don’t have to keep watering the garden 
Now, it’s been a fantastic week here as lots of questions we had rumbling about in our heads have suddenly become much clearer.
And, I think this has been so for many others too.
We thought we were being distracted and pulled this way and that but actually we were being made to make a clear choice.
And once you really look at things and make a decision…
…yes or no to something…
…then all the rubbish drops away and the path becomes crystal clear
But… we had to drop some ‘old favourites’.
Yes, some ideas and dreams we carry around like a comfort blanket – ones which we pull out to sooth and placate ourselves with.
Yet in truth, these dreams and ideas no longer match our current aims or ambitions and so need to be prised out of our hands and discarded… ha ha ha!
The funny thing is, I feel much more settled and content and confident, in myself, ‘knowing’ that I no longer aspire to these old dreams, which I have outgrown.
But I have found buried underneath my old favourites, some pretty good new dreams. They’ve evolved and somehow been ‘forged’ from the old ones into a totally new perspective.
But I digress Again… ha ha ha!
So, I’d better answer a couple of questions for you all before I wander off track again…
The question…
Q… After 4 children my stomach muscles separated and I have been using Reiki for weeks to try and get them back together (not much time for exercise!)
Thus far nothing seems to have happened – what hand positions do I need to use and how quick should I feel results? Thank you.
And my answer…
A… Well, I think Reiki ‘exercises’ are a bit too ethereal to tone your tummy… ha ha ha!
But if you have the time to stop and do Reiki on your tummy muscles then you have the time to do some proper muscle toning exercises!
If you want the quickest results for a flat and toned tummy then I’m afraid exercise is the only way. Use it or lose as they say
BUT… you could use your Reiki to promote a more positive attitude towards taking time out just for you.
Four children is a lot of ‘Mothering’ to do… ha ha ha!
A calm and relaxed Mum, has calm and relaxed children and is more able to cope with the everyday joys of motherhood.
But just before going to sleep at night, place one hand on your chest and one on your lower abdomen. Then call upon the Reiki energy purely for you
As you drift off to sleep, see your tummy muscles being pulled tight between your two hands, like a skein of wool.
But, unfortunately, exercise is best for toning muscles
And another one…
As I read the materials on Reiki, I feel that I need to have a hands on attunement. But, I have been through a 21 day cleansing, during which I experienced the flu and other cleansing things.
My right hand gets very hot in the center of the palm when I lay hands on others. Sometimes it gets hot if I just think about laying on hands.
If I never have hands laid on me, will I be able to become a powerful Reiki healer? It is all so confusing to me.
And my answer is…
But you have had hands laid on you!!!
Yours
Everyday be your own client. Do the 12 hand positions on yourself, in a daily self ‘treat’ment.
Practice, practice, practice… using your own very best patient… which, of course, is YOU.
The more you practice on yourself, the better you will become at sensing and observing energy, first hand.
Then sensing energy changes in others becomes much easier to do, because they reflect you, and you have practiced so much on yourself, that you can see YOU in the other person.
You can sense their energy reflected perfectly in your own mind and body.
Then Bingo! You seem amazingly good at healing to them
But if you still want someone else to hold you then how about joining a Reiki share group in your local area. If there isn’t one then perhaps you could start one yourself.
Just a thought…
Talking of sharing… I had better go and share out some roast beef… ha ha ha!
I love Sundays
Until next time…
