Maximising your potential to channel Reiki.

Sorry, It's been a while since I last wrote.  Things have been really busy, not least because one of my goals this year was to run a marathon and I achieved this last Sunday!!  I ran the Cornish Marathon and was just overwhelmed at how much support I had from friends, relatives, Cornish onlookers, my fellow running club members etc.  It was a wonderful experience.

I've never felt so overwhelmingly grateful to my body and mind for being so strong.  I loved every minute, even the part of the course around Colliford Lake, where the wind flung itself at us and whistled around us making it really cold and hard work.  Thank you to the lovely people waiting with sugared tea just out of the wind at the end of the lake, oh how splendid that tea tasted!

After the race I thought I'd write a bit about feet.  I feel quite attached to mine, I know that's a funny thing to say but as a runner my feet are incredibly important to me.  I look at them in awe, often.  Just how do they manage to carry me around with the whole weight of my body perched above them?  I give my precious feet reiki regularly.  We take our feet for granted and often don't pay them enough attention.  I hear people say that they don't like their feet!  I can't imagine why, they're so precious. 

Apart from using our hands and eyes to channel Reiki, I love channelling Reiki from my feet.  As I walk or run I channel Reiki to the earth.  However it's just as easy when you lie down in bed or on the sofa to fill the room with Reiki using your feet.

Something to try whilst channelling Reiki:

Lie down on the floor with your legs out in front of you.  Ask a friend to lie on the floor opposite you, in the same position.  Bring your feet together so that they touch.

Experiment with this position. 

First one person can send Reiki to the other for 5 - 10mins then they can relax while the other person sends them Reiki for 5 - 10 mins.  You can then hold the intention that Reiki be channelled to both of you at the same time.  Notice the different feelings and the different intensity of energy.  

This is a powerful process and both my friend and I agreed that we felt comfortable trying this exercise with someone we knew well and trusted. 

Make sure you ground yourself properly after this exercise.

Love and Blessings to you all

Clearing the aura

I've been shown a number of ways of clearing the aura, prior to starting a reiki treatment or as a stand alone exercise.  One of the methods that I like using involves using a fairly chubby single terminated quartz crystal.

I start the session as I would normally, this involves grounding - imagine roots coming down through the bottom of my feet and into the ground, I affirm 'I am grounded'

Then I centre, I just breathe consciously and into my naval area imagining a beautiful sun shining and affirm ' I am centred'.

I place my hand gently on the wrist of the client and connect saying a short prayer to ask for guidance and give thanks.


Starting at the left of the client, at the feet, move the quartz crystal in a circular anti-clockwise motion feeling the energy as you go. 
 
It's similar to the procedure for scanning a body with your hands.  You're moving the crystal and at the same time feeling for energy sensations that indicate the need for extra clearance or healing.  If you sense that the energy is dense, heavy or out of cilter then stay in that area moving the crystal in the anti-clockwise direction until you feel it's ok to move on.  continue with this procedure up the left side of the body and the left arm until you reach the head and crown.  Continue the process down the right side of the body. 

Once you reach the right foot you will need to grasp the crystal in both hands and blow through the base of the crystal affirming that the crystal is free of all energy that is no longer required.

Starting from the left foot again, repeat the exercise this time by turning the quartz crystal in a circular Clockwise direction.  When you move the crystal you should now notice the aura feeling lighter and healthier. 

When you've finished the exercise you can start the Reiki treatment as normal, or you can simply touch the clients wrist to let them know that you've finished. 

Place your crystal in a bowl of sea salt to cleanse.

Thought for the day.........

Treat everyone that you meet

as if he or she were going to be dead by midnight.

Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster

and do so with no thought of reward.

Your life will never be the same.

Water - straight to the source

I've been feeling quite dehydrated and thirsty over the last few weeks and was given a top tip to try by a very lovely friend of mine.

Get yourself a glass of water and give it Reiki.  Ask that the Reiki flow with the water to wherever it's needed.

Take a sip of the water, but don't swallow it.  Keep the water in your mouth and move it around, under and over your tongue and around all the areas of the inside of your mouth.  Then swallow. 

Variations on your intention, before you swallow could be :

'This water goes directly to my kidneys'
'This water goes directly to my legs'
'This water goes to wherever it's needed and makes me healthy and hydrated.'

It might help if you hold the glass of water in both hands and ask your body 'where do you need this water to go' - what is the first area that comes to mind?

Meditate with Reiki and ask where it would like the water to go, listen to your intuition.

Try this and see what happens.


Love and Blessings.

Reiki with your eyes

When I was taking photos the other day, I found myself drawn to some crystals that I'd set out in a grid.  I took a number of photos and afterwards downloaded them onto the PC.  Amongst the photos were a few that I found intriguing, particularly these.  These photos reminded me that Reiki provides us with such a variety of opportunities to experience channelling to others and to the environment around us. 

Here was an eye right in front of me, looking at me intensely and reminding me that Reiki can be sent just as well by using our eyes as it can by using our hands.  Without thinking I use my eyes to channel Reiki, especially on my drive to work in the mornings - generally the place I get stuck in traffic and have time to use this method of channelling to good effect.

The method of sending Reiki with the eyes is called Gyoshi Ho.

As usual while working with Reiki, all we need is to clearly decide on our intention - allow your thoughts to merge with the Reiki energy, feel it and sense its presence.  Just be aware of the flow of Reiki.  If your thoughts start to rush around, then gently bring your attention back to the Reiki energy without getting cross with yourself.  Practising Reiki is as much about learning to be with and experience the energy as anything else.

You might want to ask your Reiki guides to work with you.  Ask that your guides assist you to feel comfortable with the process and for it to work for the highest good. 

As with Reiki in general, the more you practice the technique the more magnified the energy that is experienced.

Beaming Reiki is helpful if someone doesn't like being touched, or if you can't touch their body due to injuries, if you want to send Reiki to an animal that won't sit still, if you want to send Reiki to children that are running around,  you can send Reiki to people in the street as they pass, areas of your body and so on. 

In the morning, sitting in the car I beam Reiki with my eyes to the trees on the verges at the side of the road, the plants that I see, to my feet knowing they've worked hard during the week, I beam Reiki to the people in the cars in front of me, people riding motor bikes so that they recieve more protection from the risks around them.  The list of possibilities is endless.

Simply imagine a beam of white light travelling from your eyes to the patient, plant, animal, or whatever it is that you wish to channel Reiki to.  Of course people and animals don't like being stared at so please bare this in mind and don't make the recipient feel uncomfortable. 

You can beam a large ring of light around people, visualise a bubble around things and then fill it by beaming Reiki into it, experiment, open your imagination and be open to possibility.

Reiki Blessings.
