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 “J” and our focus is on Joy. Here’s Lynda with the details…
At the end of the day the purpose of Reiki is to promote Joy. More joy in our lives as Reiki healers, more joy in the lives of those we heal, and in general more joy in the universe. I have been thinking about this a lot lately as the Reiki community has its share of internal strife and politics, such as anger over people publishing the Reiki symbols.
So for today I would like you to practice sending more Joy through Reiki in every area of your life and the lives of those around you. Send Joy to your head and heart, Joy to your spirit and soul. Send Joy to your friends and family. Send Joy to the universe.
Think about how you respond to different forms of Reiki than what you practice and if there is any anger or disappointment there send Joy. Think about how you respond to other Reiki practitioners with whom you may be in competition and send more Joy into those relationships. Basically, wherever you feel any strife or resistance, send in the Joy!
I’ve heard enlightenment described as “an eternal state of Joy”, in which case this post is an excellent introduction to that sense of enlightenment… thanks Lynda!!
