Goal Setting

I found this picture on the web...coincidentally, today while taking a walk I was thinking about Goal Setting for 2008...not that I wanted to be thinking about such heavy subject matter in the midst of the glorious day we were having (70 degrees in Ohio in January...amazing...but it isn't Global Warming...just ask any politician)...

No, my thoughts were turned to goal setting by the manager of my day job...I have a Goal Setting meeting set for Thurs at 10am...

The problem is that I have absolutely zero interest in goal setting for my day job and 110 percent interest in pursuing my other loves...Reiki and Writing...

So, to come upon this little tidbit of wisdom was an affirmation that I am on the right track...I just need to be patient...and light an intention candle.

Imagine Making New Friends With This Attitude...

Once I might have said I was religious...because I pray...a lot. But now that I know the difference between being religious and being spiritual, I prefer to say that I am spiritual. So when I tell someone that I will pray for them...or I will light a candle for them...usually what I mean is...that I will be sending them a Reiki healing...

A lot of times they take it to mean that I am going to mass and that I am Catholic...
This usually leads to a discussion about Reiki.

so, I'm not Catholic ...
Now that we have that cleared up, I will share with you another one of my collected quotes...another one by Mother Theresa:

"Never give up helping others. We can do no great things; only small things with great love. Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person."

What Is Reiki? Know The Answer? Ask Yourself Again...

I am often asked, "What is Reiki?" and of course I always end up explaining more than the person probably ever wanted to know...


But for my students who have completed Levels I and II, who are preparing to go on into their Master's classes, I sometimes think that if they haven't already figured it out...perhaps they should be asking the question again.

Reiki , as taught by Dr. Usui in the early 1920’s is ultimately a path to enlightenment and for most Americans that is a concept beyond their realm of thought. But what else can you call it besides enlightenment, when you realize that all of the gods and goddesses that we manage to worship in our separate religions are One and the Same?


And what else can you say other than Reiki is a path to enlightenment when you realize that in all continents Reiki is practiced regardless of the practitioners religion, creed, race or social status?


I am awed when I look at the big picture, knowing that Reiki has been the one uniter...that as Reiki practitioners we can gather together, knowing that we may worship differently but we call the power of One. As far as I know this is unprecedented behavior in the history of mankind.


So when my advanced students get around to asking, "What is Reiki?" the only answer I can think of other than all that I have already said is this...

As practitioners and teachers of Reiki, we possess a Sacred access to a Powerful Energy that if used properly we could raise the level of consciousness of every single person on this planet.


Can you imagine what would happen then?

A Day That Needed Reiki...

My phone doesn't usually ring before 10a.m., most of my friends know that I'm just not a morning person...writing until 3am has that effect on me... so when my phone rang at 6am... I knew it wasn't a good thing...


So, it turns out that middle daughter went to the ER with the stomach/intestinal bug that seems to be hitting everyone ... (My youngest and oldest also had it but no Dr. visits were required) ...

I realized belatedly that I have been sending Reiki to my grandchildren, myself, and my husband with the intent of keeping us from getting this dreaded scourge and thus far we haven't ... it seems now that I should have been sending Reiki to all of my children who have been ill to keep them from getting worse as my middle daughter obviously has ...

And so Reiki has now been sent ...
if a little late.

Hand To Hand

A Reiki friend shared this video with me this morning and I decided to share it here because we all face adversity, hardship, suffering, pain...and it's what we do with it, how we respond to it...that makes the difference.
This video is called Hand to Hand Ballet. It is inspiring, encouraging, and a beautiful piece despite the pain that brought these two dancers together...

What It Means To Become A Energy Worker

I teach Reiki, I feel it is part of my Sacred Path on this earth as a Light Being... part of being a Reiki Master who teaches is too hear people exclaim, "That's so cool! I heard about that. I've often thought about taking a class..."


But that is as far as it goes...

I've stopped asking why because as the years have passed I've learned to be patient and sometimes it takes people time to discover that Reiki is part of their own journey...that they've bumped into me to merely reawaken the idea that was there...kind of like watering a seed...


Part of my path is teaching many Level I or II, only to have that original seed go dormant...

Again, I've stopped asking why because each one of us evolves at a pace that we are able to process...


My path includes being a teacher but mostly, my path has been one of learning patience and perserverence. When I teach, I talk alot about finding one's own Sacredness and embracing that journey... but what does that mean?


I don't have all of the answers, however I do know that we are all on a sacred path and that true path can only be realized through our inner connection to the Creator. That our true God/Goddess connection lies within our soul and finding the answers is as easy as asking ourself (our soul) the question.


Really.
It is that simple.


The problem is NOISE...

.... and DISTRACTIONS....

(and excuses)


When really, we should be seeking silence, calm, and openness to change...


Becoming a Light Being, an Energy Worker, and acceptting the responsibility of our sacredness means that we will change...because our soul will demand it.


Are you ready to embrace your Sacred Path?
