Welcome to today’s Earth Send. A warm aloha to all who participate: reiki will flow to the creativity tools you bring to session and to you.
Tomorrow is Mikao Usui’s 161st anniversary of birth. Seize the occasion to express your gratitude to him. Go over your fondest memories with reiki and and your journey with mindfulness — ideally, in writing, to store in your gratitude container. It’s healing to refresh your mind about scenes in the past that have positively surprised you and to gather evidence of healing in former recipients or in you.
Sometimes we find ourselves in a chapter of life when healing is so subtle and coherent with our actions and lifestyle that the concept of receiving healing while in need, in an emergency and in a moment of fragility rather than because of worthiness or our own efforts can be quite elusive. It’s useful to remember the times when we experienced the inflow of universal life energy, a spontaneous recovery, a palpable redirection or the mighty resolve to choose better for ourselves — when we hardly expected it and were relieved, though perhaps also shocked, by it. Such memories connect us with the emotional state most people who request healing from us are in. They also remind us to keep serving in a hollow bone fashion.
I prefer you write about your experiences, as articulating what you’ve been part of and witnessed boosts your sense-making, communication savvy and attention to what matters. Also, by rehashing pivotal warmhearted events, you train your mind to notice other good things in your life, those other favourable conditions that are “in your corner” but remain unnoticed often enough.
In today’s meditation, we are focusing on the well-being of all life — beginning with our own. What are the last months saying about your commitment to your health and your mental, financial, relationship and household health?
What do you want to keep up? What do you want to improve? What results are what you’ve been aiming for?
What is on your agenda in the coming week? Decide when, on which day and at what time, you will do it.
Speaking of the well-being of all life, how is your well-being connected to the well-being of animals, plants, your local water, your local soil, your two-legged neighbours? What would you like to improve? What about these connections feels particularly satisfying?
Do enjoy the rest of August. In a few weeks, our schedules will speed up again. Fill yourself up with the sensual impressions of this month, so you gather more scents, flavours, sounds and scenery for your Island of Self.
Happy foraging. Happy harvesting. If now is your power season, make the leaps that feel right and energizing to make.
May your weekend be sweet and restorative. Drink your solar water, please. It makes a difference!
In gassho, I humbly receive.
