Language is Powerful ...
The other day I came across this quote from Karen Campbell and it touched me.
Language is powerful.
Language is powerful.
Instead of social distancing I am practicing compassionate retreat.
Instead of Isolation I am in Solitude
Instead of shelter in place I am an Artist in Residence.”
Wonderful words and allows me to re-frame my thoughts if needed.
What am I doing while I am in Solitude.
Attending many Virtual Meetings and Classes.
Hosting Reiki Circles and spreading the good feelings that I am experiencing. Both are grounding and healing.
I am a Quilter and love being an Artist in Residence. As the mood hits I am being creative with the materials I have in my stash. Yippee!
I have also become a master at napping and reading without any guilt. Feels so good.
Be kind to yourself and if you need re-frame your thoughts.
Attend a Virtual Class, reach out to chat, join a meeting, create, read a book or just take a nap.
Nurture your creative soul …
Wow - how in one month, life has changed and we are all being forced to slow down, stay at home and look after our world. Staying home, self-distancing and living in self-isolation can be very challenging. Stifling the creative soul.
Now if you talked to my sister she will say that she doesn’t have a creative soul. Not true. Challenge yourself and find a way to be creative. Your soul will love it!
Practice Self-Reiki. Appreciate a beautiful picture. Dance around the room. Look at a painting and feel what an artist is trying to create. Bake some cookies or nurture a plant.
All are creative and will nurture your soul.
How are you challenging your creative soul …
Spending Time Worrying ...
Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don’t want.
While teaching Reiki First Degree in January we spent time working on the Precepts.
When I start to worry I put one hand on my heart and one hand on my belly and recite the Precepts in my head. This always takes me to the present and out of worry mode.
Just for Today do not Anger
Just for Today do not Worry
Honour your Teachers, Parents, Elders and Friends
Make your living honestly
Show gratitude to every living thing
Staying out of worry mode keeps me in the present and then I can work with life the way it is presented to me. So much easier.
Just for Today do not Worry ….
2020 Intentions …
Since New Year’s I have asked myself various times what are my new year’s resolutions and not liking the word “resolution” what are my intentions. So what are my intentions for 2020?
Today the following phrase came to light so I am going to put it to good use.
Don’t do anything that you don’t really want to do. Keep yourself in a place of feeling good. Do things that totally inspire you. Reach for that good feeling — and watch what happens.
My feel good words this year are:
Inspiration
Creativity
Excitement
Now I get to play with them and see how they make me feel. I will notice how they make me feel with Reiki, Quilting and of course getting a new Hip.
What are your intentions for 2020 …
Keeping in a Natural Positive Place ...
If you’re not thinking about a negative thought, your vibration is going to rise to its natural positive place.
So often in the past the thought of Holiday and Social Events could spin me into a spiral of negative thoughts, removing me from a positive place. Over time I have learned to view upcoming events as not good or bad and not negative or positive. They just are events and they will happen however I feel. To keep me in a Positive Place here is what I try to practice:
Slow down and get enough sleep.
Eat healthy.
Practice Reiki
Be true and kind to myself.
Have a wonderful holiday and please Be True and Kind to Yourself.
Resilience …
Today a good friend and I were talking about resilience and how it fits our lives at the moment.
Resilience doesn’t mean that you don’t feel the intensity of the event or problem. Instead, it just means that you have found a pretty good way of dealing with it more quickly than others.
Living in a northern climate tends to make one resilient.
Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.
How resilient are you feeling …
Your surroundings and how you feel.
When you look out into the environment that surrounds you, and you feel appreciation for what you see, your whole being tunes into the frequencies of the best of all that surrounds you. Look around and feel appreciation for what you are seeing and note how you are feeling.
Today is a great day to get out and tune into how you feel …
The Journey ...
You think that the goal is to be over there but the goal is the journey over there. The goal is the fun you have along your way to reaching over there. I have always loved the Journey and more than reaching the goal. I love what I learn and experience along the way.
How about you …
Do you enjoy the journey and are you having fun along the way….
Quiet Time, Meditation and Reiki ...
Summer is half over and my mind is still whirling with all I want or wanted to accomplish. So many thoughts to get down on paper and I seem to think about them but move onto another thought just as quickly. Some quiet time, meditation and Reiki is very much the ticket.
Are you looking after yourself this summer….
Energy ...
When you manage to stay connected to your Energy stream, you always win. And you know what, somebody else doesn’t have to lose for you to win. There is always enough.
Are you connected with your energy stream?
When I am in total connection and harmony with my energy stream I feel in total balance. With my Reiki practice it is what I strive for. I love that all can be in balance if that is what they choose and that their is enough for all.
Are you finding joy in your world ?
Joy…
The standard of success in life isn’t the things. It isn’t the money or the stuff — it is absolutely the amount of joy you feel.
How much Joy are you feeling?
The past month has given me insight and clarity with in myself and my purpose. I spent the month of June coming down from an incredible trip to England seeing so much, experiencing so much and feeling so much. I spent time connecting with other Reiki Masters, Old Friends and most importantly Myself. It was a trip to experience complete joy and learn some clarity.
The Reiki Alliance Conference
Travelling …
On Sunday May 12th I leave for my trip to England for a Sacred Site Tour and the Reiki Alliance Conference. First stop will the Glastonbury Abbey ruins, The Chalice Well Gardens and then Stonehenge, Woodhenge and Avebury.
