It's so difficult to move away from the belief that we should be feeling, seeing sensing, experiencing something similar to others, when we are working with energy.
There is such a thing as individuality and difference because all of us are different aspects of the potential, present in life. If there was no such thing as difference why would there be more than one person on this planet?
It's nothing short of a miracle that we are all able to experience things differently. Yet we struggle with the theory that being an individual is the key to success. This is what leads to undiscovered potential and unimagined breakthroughs in our work.
Be big and bold, be fearless. Walk forward in the hands of reiki knowing that it is a much, much more intelligent energy than you could ever imagine. It is coursing through your life knowing exactly what's right for you, even though you may not know yourself.
Trust that whatever occurs whilst you use Reiki is right for you. When you release expectations and your own personal rules and judgement, the energy is free to flow and to work much more fluidly. Work on freeing yourself of expectation and opening to potential and the unimagined.
When Dr Usui was working with Reiki he continuously modified and changed his methods, as Reiki was passed on to others it has continued to change and grow in many different directions. Reiki was always, and always will be, continuously evolving. If you give it half a chance it will work to help you to evolve too.
Sometimes we become caught up in the way that we practice reiki, the way that we should work with the hand positions, are we doing it right etc. There is only one thing that really needs to be considered when working with Reiki and that is your intention. The intention to work from the Heart of Reiki, that is from a place of love and trust.
Reiki can never do any harm, it is waiting for us to embrace the opportunity to know the potential of its healing energy now.
