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 “W” and our focus is on Wealth. Here’s Lynda, back from her vacation, to elaborate…

We hear a lot about wealth and money lately, what with the US and world economic recessions that are happening. Plus there is so much current publicity about The Secret and the Law of Attraction
that can make it seem like it is ridiculously easy to get lots of money or that there is something personally wrong with you if you cannot.

Now, we are taught in Reiki that through the daily application of the Usui principles and through daily Reiki practice we can increase the flow of positive life force in all areas of our lives. And yes, that includes our financial situations. Does this mean that if we just sit and do Reiki all day money will magically appear? Absolutely not! But it does mean that with practice Reiki can help you to discern where to apply your energy and work so as to earn the best return, financially, spiritually, and emotionally.

For today’s practice I would like you to think about your financial situation right now (be realistic and tell the truth). Do you have enough money to comfortably pay your bills and do things you love to do? Do you love your job? Are you happy in your relationship to work and money?

Get specific here. Do you need more money to pay for basics? Would you like a better apartment? What would be your ideal job?

Write down your thoughts and answers and dreams in a notebook or pad of paper and send Reiki to your list. Revisit your list every few days as you perhaps start to make changes in your life to help achieve your goals and then send Reiki to the revised list. This practice will keep you focused, aware, and moving towards your goals!

Thanks again Lynda for an inspiring post. I’d just like to add an experience of mine, back in my early days of studying Reiki in Japan. On the first day of Reiki class I noticed my teacher (Hiroshi Doi Sensei) give a quick shot of Reiki to some money he was placing in his billfold… upon inquiring about it I was informed that the practice came from Dr. Usui himself. Whether it was to clear the money of any attached negative energies or to actually empower it… I guess we’ll never know…
