Once my shift in perspective occured, things amped up in a very uncomfortable way. All my roles and identities starting stripping away, the idea of bliss and oneness was replaced with releasing shadow and resistance. I certainly didn't feel very 'enlightened', what a messy business! Looking for a Reiki community?

I had an idealised version of awakening/enlightenment when I first came across it and began chasing this illusory end goal of bliss and Oneness over 30 years ago. The truth is much more ordinary, messy, and obvious than the books and teachers will have you believe. A retelling of my own experience of the spiritual quest. Looking for a Reiki community?

The process of personal growth is messy, and sometimes we make the same mistakes over and over, a discussion around one of my favourite poems: Autobiography in Five Short Chapters by Portia Nelson. I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost ... I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes me forever to find a way out. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place but, it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in ... it's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. I walk down the same street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. I walk down another street. Looking for a Reiki community?

Low mood is a natural processing, the ups and downs of emotions and the energy moving through your physical, mental and emotional bodies is natural and normal. The Guest House "This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, Some momentary awareness comes As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all ! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, Who violently sweep your house Empty of its furniture, Still, treat each guest honourably. He may be clearing you out For some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, Meet them at the door laughing, And invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, Because each has been set As a guide from beyond." - Rumi Looking for a Reiki community?

In reference to the beautiful interview with Gangaji: https://youtu.be/kmUYR2Higcc?si=EZs5QwwvRuQQPHfX Timestamp 48mins "something that was really being searched for and then accepting that to know that you want that is the proof that it's here you. You can't search for something if there's not a reference point and the reference point is the truth of your identity." Wow! Lets discuss this reference point and how seeking outwardly just keeps you going in the totally wrong direction. Looking for a Reiki community?

I often refer to Elaine Yang as 'the reluctant Reiki teacher', she completed her Reiki teacher training convinced she wasn't going to teach but Reiki and the universe had other ideas! In this lovely interview we explore the letting go of expectations, planning and ideas of what you can and can't do, and the embracing of not knowing and allowing the universe to show you possibilities you would have never thought of yourself. As well as Reiki classes and healing sessions, Elaine also makes beautiful and powerful healing crystal bracelets and sound healing sessions, to contact her visit: https://www.reiki-glow.com/

Here it is! This has been requested by several of you and is a guided self-healing with prompts and reminders and music - hope its useful! You don't have to do an hour to get the benefits of Reiki, even 15 minutes a day will give you huge benefits. But much like meditation, the longer you do it, the deeper you can go, especially if you have a very active mind and are always pushing yourself to keep busy. Stopping for an entire hour can reap enormous rewards! Try it and let me know what you think.

A bit of a ramble on my favourite topic, waking up! I mention Jed McKenna: Spiritual Enlightenment, the damnedest thing. And also Angelo Dilullo - his YouTube channel is great. To connect with me: https://www.reiki-centre.com

Pooja has been called a "walking miracle" by doctors after healing herself from paralysis, not once, but twice. I see her as a force of nature, full of energy and curiosity with an incredible ability to absorb and integrate a vast knowledge base.

I often come across people who think Reiki is a complementary therapy where you have to go to a therapist or practitioner to get a Reiki treatment. This could not be further from the truth, Reiki is a remarkable self-help tool to help you to manage your own stress, mental health, wellbeing, and anxiety.

Part of the human condition is low self-esteem and worthiness, it seems to affect all of us in different ways. Instead of trying to fix or make yourself feel "good enough", focus on the fact that we are all enough, simply for being alive. Get back in contact with your inner curiosity and joy, and the conditioning will carry less weight and hold you back less. Elaine Hamilton https://www.reiki-centre.com

Our Reiki reiju monthly gathering we discuss the empathic tendency to reach out and feel responsible for other peoples' behaviour, actions or thoughts. This is a heavy burden and energy drain that can be shifted through mindfully reclaiming your energy and noticing when you are doing it.

In this chitchat we explore the co-creative process of Universal life force, when we let go of the mind's insistence on 'fitting in' and the drive towards society's goals, what are we left with? Authenticity, freedom, the curiosity in finding breadcrumbs and the unfolding of becoming more and more comfortable in ourselves and expressing just that.

Energy hooks may be remnants of spirit energy, but they can also be relationship threads, impact of events of trauma, anything that energetically feels like a leak or discomfort in our energy system. This simple meditation helps us to become aware of any hooks, and to gently dissolve them. https://www.reiki-centre.com

The idea that Reiki is like sending unconditional love is not necessarily accurate. Sending someone Reiki healing is an active and energetically shifting exchange that should always be done with consent. https://www.reiki-centre.com

September's Reiju gathering we discuss how often to do a Reiki attunement as compared with self-healing. The differences and why it is important to listen to your own body and go at your own pace. Timestamp to beginning of meditation: 17:50 To join the monthly Reiki Reiju's, offered free: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

Often when Reiki teachers use the term "universal life force" it may give the impression of a higher power or god or source in some religious context. Reiki is not religious, nor does it need any religious belief to practice. It is more like the flow of energy you receive from walking in the forest or by the seaside. htpps://www.reiki-centre.com

Practice this breath awareness meditation for stilling the mind, becoming more curious and grounded and bringing you back into your inner sense of peace and calm.

You know the most about you, and an important part of the spiritual journey is coming into your own self-empowerment and giving yourself permission to find your own path and define what success means to you.

Why does our Reiki practice fall away often when life gets busy? Why is it so difficult to pull our attention back to the present moment? How do I stop letting busy activities and life's demands get the better of me? Realising the mechanics of thoughts is much more important than the content of thought, this breakthrough will free you from the heaviness of thinking and the belief you have to keep pushing and pulling on thoughts.

There are many ways to wake up to the truth of what you are, and many different paths. Each teacher has their own experience but a common pathway is mindfulness and meditation, and this is why its such a popular pathway. Elaine Hamilton, https://www.Reiki-Centre.com

In July's Reiki reiju gathering we have a few questions around what Reiki is, is it a positive force or energy? And if some people have it naturally how do they use it more effectively? We also have a guided attunement and Reiki healing meditation to check it out for ourselves.To join the monthly Reiki reiju please see details here: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

June 2024 Reiki reiju - we discussed the seeking energy that tends to push us outwards, grasping and feeling discontent, the voice that says this is not enough, you are not enough. Rather than following the outward impulse, return inwards and follow the thoughts and the impulse back to source. When the energy returns home, peace is found.

Often its our assumptions about things rather than the thing itself that makes contentment and enoughness always out of our reach. Getting clear on what terms mean to you can be half the battle when searching for this elusive "inner peace" stuff. Asking AI to give me an image of inner peace says it all - how is this image even reality, achievable, normal? Cut yourself a break and just go for deep acceptance. Elaine Hamilton: https://www.reiki-centre.com

May 2024 Reiki Reiju gathering, we combine the 'Leaves on a stream' therapeutic meditation with our Reiki healing to allow us to explore the movement of thought. Often when we face a thought storm or repetitive thought patterns we try to distract or run away from it. Turning to face the storm has an impact of slowing it down and taking the power away from the thoughts and back into our hands. Isolating each thought and slowing it down can very quickly calm us down and allow us to see that thoughts themselves do not hold power.https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-worksheet/leaves-on-a-stream-worksheetJoin our monthly Reiju: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

In the beginning our Reiki journey feels very worthwhile, lots of things change and we see real and significant shifts that make our lives better. But sooner or later we get down to the real juicy, challenging layers of our onion layers - the core beliefs that may require some really difficult actions. This is where we need to use Reiki for courage, resilience and strength and do the inner work, make the changes, face the shadow - our guilt, shame, sense of worth and belonging in this world. Take up space, put in boundaries, say no, reclaim our life. Reiki can't do that, we have to.To join us monthly on zoom: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

A very peaceful wave of energy, reminding us that our contribution is simple, just being open and present, when we take care of our own inner peace we ripple it out. Taken from the Container meditations 9/2/22
