Let Your Love Light Shine!
This article is borne of my own lack of desire to get or have ‘roots’ in this incarnation. For so long, I’ve been struggling with a nagging inner voice that pushes me to venture out and expand my horizons, travel to new places and connect with new people for whom Reiki Energy may be helpful.
I was rooted in a toxic relationship many years, while at the same time I was on a Spiritual path to awakening to who I truly am. Whilst allowing myself & my energy to be quashed by remaining in an extremely toxic & non-productive union with someone who did not care about me as a person, and least of all about my spiritual life; I remained trapped within my own self-created prison.
I used Reiki Energy and even upgraded my Reiki Master/Teacher certification during that period of time, and obtained a second certification as a Reiki Master Teacher in the Holy Fire® Reiki tradition. Holy Fire® Reiki changed the direction of my Life immensely, as did my own practice of meditation, affirmations, inner work and self-healing.
After many years of contemplation and standstill, my Spirit is rooted in expansiveness, Light & fearlessness. I’ve tethered my Self to Life in such a way as to incorporate Reiki Energy and the Unconditional Love of self and others to expand my Life and move forward on my personal and spiritual Reiki Nomadic Journey.

Mother Earth
Those of us who realize that this time period on Mother Earth is auspicious, albeit chaotic and difficult, must forge ahead and continue the work of educating, loving, healing and disseminating information. Our future is contingent on knowing what our own personal Truth is in relation to what is happening in our environment and universally. We need to realize that our own Inner Truth is written on our very Souls; and that in order to realize our own personal truths, we go through a process of cutting away the EGO-educated paradigms that have kept Humanity in bondage to societal conditioning and unhealthy thinking for thousands of years.
What are the obstacles that prevent a Soul from Awakening fully to his or her own Truth?
There are so many obstacles that listing them would probably take longer than any of us have time to write or read. But most every one of them can be sub-headed and grouped under one label: EGO. Ego has gained a bad wrap in recent years, and that is because it is the ultimate trickster of human beings.
Our mind (thinking, way of thinking, conditioning) is our EGO. No matter what some of the self-proclaimed gurus (EGOcentric false prophets) of the modern new age movement say, EGO must be transcended and tamed prior to moving along a path towards our personal Enlightenment or Awakening.
Ego has a way of tripping us up and telling us that it’s not necessary to go through any ‘steps’ to reach our fullest potential, our truest Self. Ego wants us to believe that we can ‘go it alone’ and everything will turn out peachy. No man is an island, so the saying goes and yes, we need to bounce ideas and truths off one another ~ preferably off those on a similar spiritual path. We also need to realize that the PILOT in our lives isn’t ‘me’ or ‘I’ or ‘myself’ but ‘us’ and ‘we’. We are co-pilots of our Life with our Higher Power ~ and our Higher Power is NOT and cannot be EGO!
So, what is this ‘shedding EGO’ step all about?
Well, it’s first realizing that my Self is simply spirit. Not only is Self simply spirit. The Self is a perfect being. We must learn to shift our thoughts from ‘doing’ to ‘being’. I like to use the phrase ‘go with the flow’ because it’s pretty much spot on when it comes to releasing EGO and simply accepting the Present moment as it presents itself.
Everything that happens in my Life is as it is. If I label it with words like ‘good’ ‘bad’ ‘positive’ and ‘negative’, I am judging the moments as they arise. If I simply allow every moment to ‘be’ I am going with the flow and the rhythm of Life. It sounds so simple as I’m typing it, but to put this concept into action takes much practice and constant Presence (awareness). I work on it daily and oftentimes I am tripped up either by being triggered by someone or something someone says, or simply because I’m human.
Healing Reiki energy helps me to soothe and heal myself, and allows me to let go for a moment or two and relax into simply ‘being’. I use a combination of CKR, HSZSN and some of the Holy Fire II® Karuna symbols to continually and gently keep my physical form surrounded by Reiki Energy. Your intuition can help you in choosing which symbols to utilize throughout the day. CKR is one that is a constant in my Life and has been for many years.
Using these symbols and Reiki Energy in this way helps me to virtually live, breathe and remain aware knowing the divinity of Reiki Energy is surrounding me constantly. I am blessed beyond belief having and using Reiki during my spiritual practice and consistently throughout the day.
More often than not, I send a few symbols ahead of me to grace my work place so that during meetings, patient care and all my work-related interactions throughout the day I am blessed and protected with Reiki Energy. The two most profound grounding and protecting symbols from Karuna Holy Fire II® Reiki are Kriya and Rama.
Both can be used to clear negative energies from a room or rooms, as well as ground you and your colleagues to your environment. I manifest Rama within meeting rooms regularly. Both symbols also keep me grounded within so that when EGO creeps up and manifests during discussions in which I feel the (ego) need to be right, I instead silence myself and rethink and reword responses.

One of my six siblings has been staying with me for a while. It’s been challenging, to say the least, as many of the old dysfunctional ways of seeing and doing things has arisen and been triggered during this visit. It’s not been unbearable, but it has been challenging and scary for others who witness the chaos at times.
I’ve been working on letting go of the old, dysfunctional ways of dealing with things over the past few years. This current period of time has been wonderful in that it has helped me recognize that I’m not alone in the dysfunctional ways of being, doing or communicating that were part of my old Self, part of the old way that must be released in order to move into the 5th Dimension, to shift in vibration from 3D to 5D.
My sibling is reflecting to me exactly who I am, have been and believed myself to be most of my Life in this incarnation. My sibling is reflecting my old ways of thinking, doing and communicating. Being with my sibling day after day is teaching and revealing to me what it is that I still need to work on within myself. It is helping me to become even more keenly aware so that I can change the old behaviors ~ shift my vibration up and become more aligned with my Higher and Authentic Self.
I’ve been stuck in this way of being for an entire Lifetime, perhaps for many Lifetimes, and it’s not working in the New Earth way of being any longer. It’s time to shift my consciousness up and out of the old rigid and judgmental way of being. It’s time to shift my Consciousness from the old, draconian and burdensome ways of thinking and doing, to the new, galactic and lighter way of Being. I need to realize that nothing (no thing) is permanent in this way of Being. Everything is simply as it is.
These are the lessons that many of us are facing in this time of great change and spiritual shifts. If you haven’t been experiencing these changes in your thinking or consciousness, you may be experiencing rapid changes in your personal realm, in your relationships, careers or your Life in general. It may seem that everything is moving faster and faster in your Life.
Maybe you’ve noticed that people are falling out of your Life more rapidly. Movement is happening all around. Things are changing, people are coming and going more quickly, situations are rapidly shifting. What you once thought about ‘stability’ may be breaking down more rapidly than you care to realize. And you may be resisting Life changes and clinging to the ‘old’ as though it’s a life raft in the midst of the Atlantic.
Lessons in letting go are all around us at this time on Mother Earth. Gaia is shifting and changing, and so we are caught up in her awakening. Our Mother is raising her vibrations and we have no control over anything that Mother Earth and Mother Nature puts forth. The shifts are happening all around us, if you haven’t noticed yet. Just take a look around at the increased frequencies of volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves and other extreme earth and weather conditions around us over the past 10 years or so. And whilst our Mother shakes off the old and outmoded, Humanity is aligning and awakening and preparing to follow suit.
There is movement all around us. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that ~ nor does it take a psychic to notice the shifts and subtle (and not so subtle!) changes in our own personal spaces. Movement is imperative! Reiki Energy can help soothe and heal your Soul and calm your mind when things are feeling unstable and chaotic. Reiki Energy is like a huge, weighted blanket that calms, soothes and quiets the chaos and releases the tension.
Wrap yourself in a huge does of Reiki Energy when you settle down before sleep tonight. I promise that if you’ve neglected to use Self-Reiki and Self-Healing for yourself of late, you will be pleasantly amazed at how perfect and peaceful you will sleep after serving up a huge dose of Self-Reiki.
The 2nd part of this two-part article series will be forthcoming very soon! In that portion of the article, we’ll discuss the challenges of EGO on our shifting vibrations.
