Welcome to the 2008 Reiki Alphabet Challenge!!! Its great to have you here!!! This challenge is designed to give you something new to Reiki every day by giving you a new letter to focus on each day. Hopefully, by the end of the challenge you will have Reikied things you hadn’t considered before and thereby increased the boundaries of your Reiki world. So let’s get started…

Today’s letter is “A” and our focus is on Anger. As attention to this is one of the 5 Reiki Principles, Dr. Usui must have considered this quite important, or else he wouldn’t have included it. As our focus for today I’d like to put a twist on things. Your challenge is not to Reiki the anger itself… but rather, to Reiki the source of that anger. If someone is causing you anger, send them Reiki and as you do, try to view the world through their eyes. Take a moment to step into their shoes and try to notice the root of whatever it is that is causing them to send this feeling your way.

My experience is that generally speaking, people are good deep down inside and and are just trying to do the best they can with the talents, tools, instincts, awareness, intelligence, etc. that they have been given. All too often we see the world through our own filters and hence, may not be seeing exactly what other people are. Attention to this might cause the anger to go away… give it a shot!

During the Reiki Alphabet Challenge, please do not feel you must limit yourself to the suggested letter of the day. Use the comment option below to send your own suggested ideas beginning with the letter of the day so that we might all get some new ideas, motivations and understandings of this wonderful world of Reiki. And as always, extra points will be given for originality and awesomeness!!

For further explanation or discussion, your thoughts are most welcome and highly encouraged, please feel free to comment below!!!
