I am feeling very blessed today and as a result, feeling thankful. I have such a wonderful support group both present with me and connected across distance. When there is such a connection, synchronicity becomes something else: expected! This Beliefnet community and others like it are doing much good in our world. We are all connected in the Great Scheme of things of course, but it is humanly comforting to be able to see the connections.

May you, Whoever You are, reading this be blessed, be healthy, be comforted, be at peace. May your heart be lifted and opened. May you know and experience love and compassion. May you be freed from sorrow and healed of guilt. May you bring blessings everywhere you go.

Thank you for being connected.

Wandering about the world wide web tonight, I feel amused at all the different types of Reiki methods that are posted. Pray this way, use the traditional Reiki hand positions only, it is always necessary to do a full-body treatment/it is not necessary to always do a full body treatment, use a violet candle, chant this, honor that, call it this, it must be trademarked, Usui is the only "real" Reiki tradition ---

Such conceit we humans have! Reiki is simply Reiki. Doesn't matter who we choose to pray to or what words we choose or how many certificates we have or how many different traditions we have "studied" or how pure the lineage is. These things may enhance our knowledge of ourselves and what tools work best for us, they may help us to shape our practice so that it reflects our personality, but they have no impact on the value of the Reiki you are attuned to! Reiki is Reiki! Once you are a Reiki healer, once you have received Reiki attunement, you are, simply, a Reiki healer. You put your hands out to touch someone who is hurting or send your intent across the miles and behold! Connection. Healing. Clearing of karmic baggage. Joy for the sender and the receiver. That is the sweetest thing about Reiki. It is Simply Life taking care of Itself.
