Writing The Symbols
Good Mornin’ all…
It’s been a funny old week again with a funny feeling to the energy.
Carol described it as “full of unnecessary complications”.
It has elements of being flat, dull, boring, unexciting, hard to motivate, can’t be bothered…
Then this morning I was trying to feel this energy myself and I came on the feeling of silent stillness.
I haven’t felt like talking much as there is nothing to say.
I talk for living but there has been nothing new to say.
I haven’t felt like doing much as there is not much to do.
I have done all the regular things including the ironing too 
But there has not been a feeling of anything new going on.
There has been a sort of silent stillness in the air.
So I have decided that instead of trying to move the energy and trying to create a happening, I’m simply going to move into that silent stillness and watch.
Do nothing and all will be done
I am trusting… myself, the universe and all who sail in her.
When the energy has shifted and changed and moved, I will be observant and ready to move with it in perfect harmony.
The bloomin’ weather here has been stuck and slow to move on too… ha ha ha!!!
We have had rain… heavy, straight down, stair-rodding, sideways, drizzle, cold, warm, and just plain damp… ha ha ha!!!
Perfect weather for Wimbledon tennis and a bowl of strawberries and cream. Talking of which, the strawberries are absolutely meltingly delicious just now
MMMmmmm… must be getting near lunchtime
Now, I had someone ask a question this week and this is such a common question I thought I would share my thoughts on the subject.
WRITING THE SYMBOLS
The reiki symbols are just that… symbols
They have no power of their own.
The only power they have is that which YOU give them.
The symbol becomes more imbued with a sense of power when more people assign it that sense of power.
Just as we would all reach for the garlic if we met a vampire
The Reiki symbols are symbolic to Reiki and their specfic uses, because so many of us say so.
We have imbued these symbols with their apparent power.
The more of us that believe this, the more synonymous with that energy each symbol becomes.
Now to the question of writing out the symbol. Or drawing it.
I say writing the symbols is like signing your name.
Each time it comes out a little different, especally if someone is watching… ha ha ha!!!
Also we each have our own way of writing – totally unique to us.
If I write Judith and you write Judith, everyone, including the universe, knows what we mean and can read it but it will be written in a way unique to each of us.
Even a doctors writing can be deciphered by the universe.
Even Judith written in Welsh can be understood by the universe…
If you get my drift.
The symbol is a tool for focussing your attention and intention.
You can forget to cross a ‘T’ and it will still work.
You can mess it up and pretend to rub it out and do it again
You can imagine doing it in pencil so you can do that or do it in permanant ink forever… ha ha ha!!!
The point is, the only point is, as long as you can write out the symbol as best you can to start with, that is fine.
Get it as good and as perfect as you can.
Then let your own essense, your own flair, your own signature shine through.
The only time it needs to be as perfect as possible is when you pass it on and share it with others.
The rest of the time it is yours to play with
Trust me… you can be as artistic as you like… Times Roman, capitals, beautiful calligraphy…
It’s your intention that counts.
Just as you can say the names with a French accent, Chinese accent, Indian accent, Scottish accent, Texan drawl or a plain old English accent
A rose is but a rose by any other name…
That’s my thoughts on the subject and it works for me
Now it really must be time for Geoff’s!!!
I shall sit ‘still’ and be ‘Silent’ while I ‘watch’ my lunch go down… chuffin’ grand
See you all next week.
Judith.
