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

So, question.

How can I make myself stronger mentally? I need to let go of certain issues and move on.

I do my Reiki every day and sometimes more than once a day, if I need to help someone else.

I find Reiki so healing and comforting.

Answer:

When you are emotionally attached to issues, then they can be hard to release.

Sometimes you fear letting go, because that will be the end of it.

And perhaps you’re not truly ready to move on.

What benefits do you still gain by hanging on to your issues?

If you let them go, what would you like to replace them?

What’s your dream for your future?

What would make you smile with happiness right now today?

The trick is not to take things so personally, even if they are personal.

We all do mind you.

We engage in the day to day small stuff like the lead actor or actress in a soap opera.

We repeat the same negative story to anyone who will listen, or bottle it all up, like some kind of martyr.

Watch yourself.

Notice your words, be silent.

If you can’t say anything, nice, shut up.

Notice your thoughts if necessary, write them down and burn them.

No need to air them aloud, if they’re negative.

Notice your actions.

Keep on doing what you’re doing, and you’ll keep on getting the same old response.

Every moment you have a choice to change the way you do or respond to things.

Make that choice to change, now, Now, NOW!

Work with the Tibetan Master Symbol and the Mental and Emotional Symbol on your solar plexus and heart area.

Draw out the Tibetan Master Symbol first over your palms and then your heart to blast away the negative feelings first.

Then draw out the Mental and Emotional Symbol to bring balance.

See it drawn out in a mist in front of you, and then walk through it.

See it cleansing your thoughts and actions like a sieve collects lumps from the gravy.

Ask yourself what would be the loving thing to do, for you, in this situation?

Bringing love to the situation always helps.

When you are grounded in the physical body and the mental state stops fretting and wittering.

So, lots of brisk walking out in nature.

Or do some housework to rock music.

Deep breathing helps to move along the energy blocks, and so does laughter.

Thanks for listening!
