Five things I would tell myself if I was starting this Reiki journey today

1. There is no rush. Spirit is already here. 
   1. You don’t have to be someone, somewhere else, Spirit is always here, fully.
   2. Often rush, push, grind on our spiritual path.
   3. Spirit is so close to us that we don’t see it. It’s not hididng in a cave in the Himalayas, not on the other side of your diet, - while yes practices like refining diet, taking a daily practice, silence can be supportive, God is as present now as it will be at any other point and any other place.  It’s more about changing the way we show up and pay attention than it is about changing externals.
   4. What if you let it be easy?
   5. What if what you seek is evading you because it’s SO familiar…. SO close… so all encompassing
   6. It’s right in front of your eyes but you do not see it
   7. Keep it simple. When we try to wow, we often distract.
2. Surrendering to a higher power is the only way to mastery
   1. Sounds easy, sounds lovely, but for most of this this is the hardest part. Surrentder to God means letting go of control and outcomes.
   2. Focus on service – doubt and performance anxiety is cue to turn towards God.
   3. When in doubt, pray. If that doesn’t work, pray again… louder.
   4. Focus on service to ease performance anxiety.
   5. Faith is the antidote to stress.

 

3. The more you practice, the more skilled you become. There is no way around this – practice is the path forward.

•  Your journey won’t be a straight line but ultimately you can’t mess this up.
• Don’t take it too seriously, it will cause you to contract when what you need most is to expand.

4. Trust your intuition. Trust the signs.  Trust yourself.
   1. Ties in to trusting yourself. Give messages exactly as they come.  You will misinterpret things, you won’t be able to explain everything.  I din’t believe humans – any human – has the capacity to understand the full scope of the universe.  Stop making that your job.
   2. Know the clairs and share isnights exactly how they come to you.

 

5. Surround yourself with people and books that support and inspire you, but know you'll break all the rules.

• Find a safe community where you can ask questions and share inspiration. You will progress so much faster and enjoy the process so much more!
• Books teachers peers are great, but you are the ultimate authority on your own life. Never give that power to anyone else.  To truly succeed at some point you will throw away the rule book and do it in a way that onily you can.
