Hi, I’m Judith Conroy of Chikara-Reiki-Do and I’m answering your questions on Reiki.

So, question:

I know how healing can work, but it can be hard to explain it to someone that thinks I’m a joke.

Can you help?

Answer:

Personally, I do not now waste my time or breath, trying to explain or convince anyone of anything.

Especially when they are neither interested, nor care.

I have more respect for myself than that.

You see, we are all perfectly within our rights to think and feel what we like.

And it is not for us to change others or…

…for others to try and change us, for that matter.

We generally learn by having the direct experience for ourselves, then we become firm believers.

In the great scheme of things, we can only do that, which feels right for us at that time, and trust wholeheartedly that it is the right thing for all concerned to experience.

But another way to look at this is that the outer reflects our inner.

In our quest for proof and confirmation, that our Reiki energy has made a difference…

…we may be guilty of sowing the seeds of doubt in our own minds.

And when others see us as a joke, perhaps it is a reminder to lighten up and not be so serious about life, the universe, and all who sail in her.

When people waft feathers, tinkle bells, and wait for the fairies to arrive…

Maybe it makes some of us hide a smile, but so what?

If it works for you, it’s right for you.

Trust yourself, implicitly!

Feel your energy and be happy to share it with all who might need it.

The more you lighten up and fill the air with love, light and laughter the more powerful and free flowing your energy will be.

We’re all a joke.

It’s all a joke.

It’s the funniest joke ever.

Those who see the funny side of life:

The ridiculousness of it all, the sheer joy of it all, the physical pleasure of it all, the depth of it all, the completeness of it all, the wholeness of it all…

…will die laughing.

The world is absurd, contradictory and perfect.

But, so what?

We are here to have fun and express ourselves in the most joyous fashion possible.

The only opinion that counts to us is ours.

So be happy, share your Reiki energy, as and when you please and with whom you please, and just know that your world and those in it will be all the better for it.

Thanks for listening.
