I‘d like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers a most happy, healthy, prosperous, and Reiki filled New Year!!! As you all take whatever time is needed to write down your New Year’s Resolutions (and yes, be sure to write them down… it adds tremendously to the intent and power they manifest) be sure to include a healthy dose of Reiki in them. As you think about all the ways your life has changed because of the presence of Reiki, imagine how it might help others in the same way throughout the course of the next year. Recall the pageantry, wonder and splendor of that first realization that Reiki might just possibly hold the keys to the kingdom of glory… heaven on Earth… no matter what your understanding or interpretation of heaven may be.
New Years is a time of new beginnings, of wiping the slate clean and having another go at the trials and tribulations awaiting you at every turn. Your New Year’s Resolutions provide a constant reminder of something you want to get right this time around, just as your Akashic Record provides an account of something you want to get right in this lifetime. Write it down and post it prominently and not only should you give that Resolution Reiki after you right it (use the power symbol for added oomph <technical term>) but feel free to shoot it some more Reiki whenever you get the chance. Alternately you might keep it in your Reiki Box if you have one, and give it Reiki on a regular basis.
In the 30 Day Reiki Challenge we discuss the importance of setting both long term and short term goals for your Reiki practice and your New Year’s Resolution is a great place for tracking them. Never be afraid to change them if they prove too difficult (or too easy) during the year and refer to them often, as we tend to overlook or forget the little things without a little nudge from time to time.
New Year’s, being a time of new beginnings, presents you with the opportunity (for those who need it) of practicing the Zen Art of Mindfulness, i.e., seeing your world through the mind of a child. Remember the first time you saw snow, or bit into a ripe red apple, or experienced the joy of Reiki healing? How magical it was! Bring back that magic by emptying your mind of all the clutter you have accumulated over the year(s), all the presuppositions, all the filters, all the biases, prejudices, matter-of-factedness and expectations you’ve collected and see your world anew.
Not to get too political here, but Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the United States, stressed the need for every generation to revolt against the previous one as only in the aftermath of such a revolution could things be rebuilt from scratch with an emphasis on new priorities and preferences rather than continuing to cater to the priorities and preferences of past generations. New Year’s presents a time for you to have your own mini-revolution in your mind and replace outdated notions with current state of the art ones. And adding Reiki to the mix makes it all the more potent.
I’ll be the first to admit that change can be painful… but it is only through change that we actually evolve. So allow your Reiki to evolve, don’t be afraid of change and direct your life as if you are the conductor of life’s greatest symphony… which you are! And while you’re at it… enjoy yourself and have a wonderful new year… a Total Reiki New Year!!!
