| Reiki: (pronounced RAY-KEY) |
Intentions are like commands to the
Universe. What we focus on, think about, and feel is what we create into being.
Have you ever really considered that concept? It takes contemplation and a
still mind to thoroughly understand and grasp that concept fully. It’s as
though one gets short ‘glimpses’ of the reality of this concept at times, and
at other times the true meaning is lost in the chaos of our Life situations.
Maybe it’s simply a matter of presence, then? Of being present, or being in the
Present? Recently, it’s been more evident to many who discuss this concept that
it’s actually the powerful emotion along with the thought that creates ones
reality. For me, the addition of Reiki energy has inexplicably intensified and
blessed the process in recent months.
Over time, some of us have learned
that what we think we are or are not, so we become. What we think about
wanting, needing, having, so we manifest. All energies (which we have created
and commanded to God/Spirit through the power of our own thought patterns and
spoken commands, coupled with strong emotion) either manifest or are evident in
particular situations in our lives, be they negative or positive. Basically,
it's simply the law of karma: What we put forth (intent!), so it is. Or, as
printed in the Christian Bible in a letter from Paul to some early Christian
groups: “What we sow, so shall we reap” (Galatians 6:7-9).
Now, imagine placing the power of
Reiki behind the thought and emotion, to ensure that what is manifested be
blessed and ‘infused’ with Reiki energy: the incredible, versatile power of
Reiki healing energy! This process, utilizing Reiki energy as a final seal or
an energetic tool (prayer!) whilst manifesting enriches and spiritually charges
the specific manifestation or creation being brought about.
With every thought, word, and action,
be they negative or positive, we are creating our futures. This concept seems
to be a difficult one to grasp for so many of us. It has taken some of us
many years and focus to figure out that what we allow ourselves to think, dream,
and/or speak manifests in the physical world, time and again. This is what is
called in physics 'The Law of Attraction'. What we sometimes fail to realize is
that until we come to understand the power of our thoughts (they are energy,
and energy does not die-that's simple physics!) we will continue to feel powerless
in creating our own lives. We need to realize that it’s not simply the thought
that creates our reality; it’s the thought coupled with powerful emotional
responses (or reactions!) that creates our reality. When we create our reality,
and add the healing and powerful energy of Reiki (infusing our creations with
the Blessed Reiki symbols) it’s like putting the icing on the cake: Sweet
emotion! (To quote Aerosmith’s 1975
hit) The emotion behind the thought pushes our manifested realities into Being.
When we learn to accept
responsibility for our own lives, happiness, misery, etc., and begin to realize
that there is no one and nothing outside of ourselves responsible for making
our lives happier, more fulfilling ~ no one but our Selves! ~ We feel
empowered. Ego (stinkin’ thinkin’!) attempts to create obstacles to allowing us
the glimpses of Life free from negativity, or anchors, which weigh us down on
our Life path, and prevent us from moving forward. When we get stuck in
‘stinkin’ thinkin’ (our EGO) we need to find a way to become free of thought
once again. We can do this in many ways, such as using meditation, prayer,
stillness, imagination, writing, singing, etc. as a vehicle of self-expression.
When we let go of our ego Self and allow the Light in, we feel freer to express
our true Self, our true Spirit.
The core of our very being is God;
and God is brilliant and unconditional love ~ Love in its purest form. Even
though many of us have merely caught glimpses of ‘knowing’ in regards to
creating our realities, this does not prevent us from infusing our Lives with
healing, powerful Reiki. Many of us have been using Reiki as a healing
facilitator for others, while neglecting our Self. If we want to be an
instrument in helping to heal Humanity, we first need to begin the process of
healing ourselves. We can start by becoming more aware of ourselves and our
words, thoughts, and actions; and then expanding to become an observer of our
minds and intentions.
When we become more aware of
ourselves and what we may or may not be creating in our own Life situations, the
awareness is all we need to begin contemplating what we wish to change (or
create) in our lives. If we are simply willing to be more open and aware, that
willingness is key in opening to more awareness. Simply by being willing to be
open, one can become more aware. Reiki can help us become more observant, more
aware, and more forgiving on our Journey. Reiki is such incredibly powerful and
healing energy! Even though it is not required to change our lives, or to
create our realities, it remains an exemplary and versatile tool for my own
personal development thus far.
For me personally, utilizing Reiki enhances
every experience, and helps me remain focused on goodness, and positive things.
Reiki has been ~ and is ~ a most compassionate, healing, and constant companion
on my continuing Life Journey. That is not to say that I am a perfect, pious,
and loving human being. I am certainly not! I am a fallible human being, and
imperfect in all areas of my Life! But I strive to remain focused on healing my
Self, improving my Self, and becoming more my True Self each day. Inner change
is a process, after all, not an event!
Divine Reiki Blessings to all.
