We are meeting in meditation for the well-being of all life on earth and in our Friday reiki send.
Let’s start by giving thanks to our lives, to everything that keeps us alive and that keeps restoring us, all the people, animals, plants, waters, land, air and the sun involved in keeping us alive and smiling.
Then, let’s say our thanks to our home and that we have a place to come back to, sleep and relax, dream and visualize in, a place where we eat, prepare our food in new variations and with growing skill, a place where we connect over food and entertain, a place that shelters us from the storms outside, a place where we take a break, a place where we beautify, adorn and reinvent ourselves, a place where we create our intimate memories, a place where we can be ourselves.
As we recall the reiki rules, honouring our elders means not forgetting what we were taught in the home of our childhood, refining all that has been good about it, becoming aware of our family culture and ancestral culture and that we too are a piece in that chain. A lot of people have critical or detached things to say about their upbringing, but once you look deeper, there were aspects in it too that were positive and that transported them to the next chapter. If pretty much nothing about it was good, it is a reminder to the rest of us to be generous, to be a reminder of the generosity, the goodness and the sanity available in the human family, and that we may have more to be grateful for than we acknowledge.
Let the community you surround yourself with be well-aligned with you. Be more discerning about where you are going and who is going to be there, and allow these networks to grow. Finding your tribe is a home coming, and there is no better experience on earth than that!
Just for today, we are grateful for all the blessings in our life, and we are holding our gratitude for as long as we can.
As we clear up our lives toward what they could be — and engage the principles expressed in “Just for today, I will work honestly”, “Just for today, I will not worry” and “Just for today, I will not anger” –, we add more things to be grateful for and we progress.
There is a lot of beauty on our planet that we haven’t given credit to. Make time for it, seek it, admire it, and let it move you. The earth will reveal to you her wisdom, soothing, harmony, symmetries and acceptance.
Many of us have sought the expressions of beauty and rightness in relationships or in other wrong places. We can become teachable and go to the earth to get most of our essential and creative needs met and to fill our cup with inspiration and emotional intelligence. That will alter our perception and our decision making process and renew our trust in the feedback that we are receiving.
Reiki is going out to all who are ready to receive it and who requested it. Light is going out to all who are transforming, cleaning up, rebuilding their lives. It takes consistent effort and openness to improve your life condition. When you get tired, rest, and take the next best step after you have rested. Gratitude and love go out to earth, our shared home and mother, and to life itself.
May your new season surprise you with delicious scents and an abundance of colours and tunes, contentment and zest for life.
