The end of Reiki Principles Explored

We made it through the end of 2016 and worked through 4 of the Reiki principles to give us a good foundation for 2017. Exploring anger and worry allowed us to open our hearts and truly find gratitude. We found new understanding of being honest in our work, which took us through our first month of 2017. How appropriate we come to " Just for Today, I will be kind to Every Living Thing" during the month of Love-February.

It really makes sense to end with kindness. For how can you be kind when you are filled with anger? How can you be kind when you are overcome with worry? If you can't be grateful for all that comes into your life, how can you be kind? If you can't be honest with yourself and how you work, how can you be kind?

When we are grounded and free of vulnerability we can truly work from our accessory tanks and interact with others and all life forms with generosity, consideration, compassion and general kindness. Our light amplifies the light in others.

Remember one reason I started this exploration was to do a cleanse of sorts. I wanted to clear out my emotional, mental and spiritual bodies before I did my physical cleanse. The more I began to understand cellular memory, the more I was moved to understand the need to clear the energy field before the physical. Energetic teachers have long expressed the concept that illness and dis-ease comes to us well before it reaches our physical body. We can't clean our energy field via eating or not eating. One way to move toward more complete healing is to find the appropriate tool to work with each body (emotional, mental, spiritual and physical). In the current world we lean heavily toward tools that care for the physical body. We have not been effectively taught how to use emotional, mental or spiritual tools. Yes, we have those tools but often we will use a mental tool to address an emotional tool and on and on. We can equate this to using scissors to hammer a nail. It's possible to get results but at what expense.

I wanted to take this last exploration to invite you to create your own list of words to explore. You don't have to be a Reiki practitioner or be drawn to Reiki to create this kind of exploration. Words have a vibration and when we explore or mediate on them we move their vibration through us and we can learn. We can learn about ourselves and then our surroundings. What are the first 5 words that come to mind? What 5 words cause a visceral response? These will be your guides and teachers. I'd love to hear where your exploration takes you.

For those of you who have done physical body cleanse before, I invite you to try doing either this Reiki exploration or your own word exploration prior to doing your next juice cleanse or elimination diet and let me know how it changes the outcome of your traditional cleanse/detox. If you have never done a physical body cleanse or detox before, maybe now you will be intrigued to try this energetic cleanse first.

I really hope this exploration of the 5 Reiki Principles brought you insight and joy. Would you like to learn more about Reiki? When was your last Reiki session? How often do you do Self Reiki?
