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 “I” and our focus is on Intent. Intent basically refers to your intentions about exactly what you hope your Reiki will do. While you can’t actually control the Reiki energy, as it has an Intelligence of its own, Intent can help to focus the Reiki energy and is especially beneficial for distance healing. The stronger your Intent and the greater the focus, the added energy of that Intent will add to the Reiki itself. This makes Intent unnecessary (as Reiki does just fine on its own) but a very powerful addition should you care to add it.

Your challenge for today’s letter is to give or send Reiki healing to anyone or anything at or in any time or place, but this time create your Intent as vividly as possible. Spend about 5 minutes on the Intent alone, solidifying it so that your Intention is crystal clear. You can even spend a minute or two sending Reiki to that Intention itself, adding that extra empowerment to it before actually sending the Reiki onwards to its final destination. Keep in mind, the stronger the Intent, the stronger the healing.

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!!
