Reiki Blog Hop November 2016: Letting Go
Reiki Blog Hop November
 
“Letting Go”
 
What do I think of when I hear the words ‘letting go’?
I think of a person finally moving on from a past relationship.
I think of people getting over their shit.
I think of spiritual growth.
That is the ticket.
Spiritual growth can be very painful. We want to hold onto people, places, and things that keep us grounded. That seem to keep us safe.
Sometimes we must let go of old thoughts and people so that we can move forward. Reiki can help us do that. It is the energy that is needed to process spiritual information that we receive from Source. Reiki helps people move the energy/information, provided by Source, through our Chakras in a healthy way. It can aid us in the process of getting rid of old habits, bad thoughts, and stuck energy. It can refill our empty vessel with such vibrant colors that we feel light and airy.

What happens after a Reiki session?

Do we still process information in the same way?

We can, but some people chose not to. Some people wish to hold onto grief and pain. They want to carry it around and point it out to people that they meet on the street. Letting go of things can be a painful process that requires us to give up on dreams.
I always advise my students, and clients, that we were born to grow and evolve. I usually ask them, “What happens to water when it is stagnant? It gets dirty and starts to stink.”

I believe it happens to energy as well. When energy sits in a certain part of our body and it is not moving and flowing, then it starts to stink and smell (figuratively). It starts to cause pain and dis-ease. It begins to embed itself into our spiritual body. We start to notice discomfort in the area where the energy is sitting, squatting, and taking shelter.

Maybe we should look at that stagnant energy as a squatter. Maybe we should associate that stagnant energy as our self. We sometimes are squatters within our own spiritual temple. We start to cover up the much-needed holy texts, and artifacts, within our inner temple with secrets and expectations. We start to create clutter where clutter should not be manifested. We want to look busy within our spiritual temple so that Source will look at us and state, “You are advancing my sweet child.”
How funny that we try to deceive that Great and omnipotent Spirit.
How funny that we try to deceive our own spirit.

By letting go of that which is holding you back, we learn to see that we are worthy of good. We learn to see that we are awesome. We learn to see that everything does work out in our favor.
By letting go of all the pain and hurt within us, we allow Source to provide the energy that is needed to aid us on our spiritual journey. I think that Reiki is here to help us process that wonderful energy provided by Source. I think that Reiki is here to aid us in moving that stagnant energy and creating an open channel within our energy system.

I would have to associate the act of letting go with the Devil card in a Tarot deck. We are the keeper of the key to unlock the chains holding us down. We can easily slip off the restraints and move forward. We can cut the cord to the item that stops us in our tracks.
​
I would have to, in turn, associate Reiki with the Tower card. It may not be as destructive as the Tower card usually is but Reiki can break through all the crap within our energy body and bring us back to the beginning. We all must return to the beginning to start over again. We all must hit the reset button, let go of the past, and begin again.
 
Until next time.
Blessed Be.

May Reiki Blog Hop 2016: Consent

MAY REIKI BLOG HOP 2016
​
The wrangler for this Blog Hop is Karen Sealey
 
Let us see….I was told to think about what the word “consent” means to me, regarding Reiki.
Well, when I think of the word “consent” and “Reiki” the one thing that comes to mind is…..Rensent!
No. That’s not right.
Oh, oh, oooohhhhhh.

Yes.

Consent can work both ways during a healing. Are you asking the person if you can work on them?
Are you asking their spirit guides if they can help? Do you ask yourself if this is the right time for you to do a healing?
Consent is a big thing. Without it I am sure that the healing would just feel like you are going through the motions.
I know that there are those that will say “Any form of Reiki is helpful whether consent is given or not”.
Well, in a way they are right. Healing-loving-light is helpful to those who allow it take place. Oh wait! There it is. Consent means allowing.
Did you know that there are lovely people out there who believe in simply giving Reiki to the world, rather than build a one on one practice? Did you know that there is Reiki sitting all around you at this very moment and time?
All you have to do is allow it.
Allowing it to take place within you.
Allowing shit to take place within your life.

Reiki is a powerful tool and regardless of an attunement or not, the person who wishes to heal, and be healed, is giving off this awesome thought of light. It is traveling at the speed of love around the world and out into the cosmos. Who does it expand to?
Everyone.
It is there for everyone to take advantage of, if they consent to receiving it.
Did you know that when we are in shame, fear, doubt, unknowing, uncertainty, etc., we form this little bubble of crud around us. It can repel what is truth. It can repel what is love.
Or rather let me change that.
The bubble of crud has small gaps in it. Reiki can get in but it is filtered through into our Aura in small amounts.

That is like having a small I.V. in you with much needed medicine and only a few drops are being administered every two hours. How long do you think it will take to heal your body of ailments if you are only receiving small drips of medicine every two hours?
What if you opened up the flood gate and allowed it to take place? What if you gave consent?
Ho-ho!
Consent to feel love. Consent to be alive. Consent to be happy.
​
Next time you find yourself walking around in despair and hurt, take a moment, look up at the sky, and allow that loving energy (floating around you) in. I am not telling you to stop grieving and shut up. I am simply advising you to take a moment from the thoughts in your mind and simply allow.
Simply give consent.

Until next time.
​
Blessed be,
Aaron

The First Time I Popped my Reiki Cherry

I was just starting out on my spiritual journey and a lot of shit was coming up with my past. I wanted to heal my inner soul and my physical body at the same time. I had been meditating and doing my mantras but something just did not feel right.
I wanted more.
I wanted to open my Heart Chakra up and let all the demons out of it. I wanted Source light to shine down and cleanse me of my past (hey, I was young and new to all this metaphysical healing stuff. I did not understand how all of it worked. I thought that it would just magically get rid of shit within my life and make it all better).

Maybe it was due to having the Craft on repeat in the DVD player. (Haha)

I was looking at some DVD’s on Netflix one day and decided to look up Spiritual stuff. There it was. A DVD on Reiki by Steve Murray. I thought to myself “Reiki? On DVD? What?!!!!”

Hell yes! I hit the jackpot.

There were three; Reiki I, Reiki II, and Master Reiki attunements.
I received the first one.
Delish!
It was just 15 minutes of an attunement and music. You did not see him do anything. It was his voice and a picture of clouds moving. I didn’t feel anything.
I did not feel any different.

I waited for DVD #2.
It arrived in the mail
Yes in the mail! I am that old. Remember when Netflix use to only ship out DVD’s?
No?
Well I do.

Anyways. So there I was, DVD in hand, and ready to start my second attunement. There was Steve explaining how the second attunement will open me up more and also how I could use the Reiki symbols to do wonderful things.
I could work on other people.
I could send healing energy to other places and a certain time.
Oh boy! I was ready!

The second attunement was the same as the first. His voice talking and the scene of a beach or sky. Actually he advised us to keep our eyes closed as he did the attunement and we had to put our hands in certain positions when he told us. I have to admit I peeked. (Hehe)
I felt a little different. I started to practice it on others and on myself but the power just wasn’t what I thought it would be like. I thought that rainbow beams would be shooting from my hands and stuff. Even as I write this I am laughing.
Oh young Aaron. How silly you were back then.
 
The third DVD arrived a few days later and I was just as excited as when the first one arrived. I knew that I was meant to learn Reiki and at this time I was a broke dick dog. I could rent DVD’s but to pay someone $500 to $700 to learn Reiki just was not on the top of my list of things to do. Frankly eating and having a roof over my head came first. As much as I love the homeless look, it just did not suit me. Also I had this obsession with something called Carbs and they soothed my aching fat kid soul.

So there I was watching the last installment of the Reiki series. He did the attunement with the clouds on the screen (yes I peeked again), hand positions set, and also the fourth and last Reiki master symbol.

I went on my way and started to try it out on everyone, but as I came to find out, without guidance or a teacher I did not know what the hell I was doing. I kind of gave up. I moved onto other healing techniques and started to work with the Chakras.

Fast forward a lot of years later.

I know have been formally attuned by a teacher named Brian Parker and it was the greatest investment I could have spent money on. It was something that I had always wanted to do and also I received guidance on how to really use Reiki.

I found out that Reiki is a good base for learning how to heal and it can be paired with many things such as Crystals and Sound Therapy.
You can pair it with working on Chakras and also with meditation.

I am in love with Reiki.

I am not knocking the DVD by Steve Murray. Steve Murray’s intentions are good.
Actually I give him props for doing something so different and also getting Reiki out there to the mass (at that time). If anything he gave me the tool to start my journey of healing. It was up to me to put it to use and also seek out more guidance from other teachers. I dig that he kind of went down a path of "You can study at home on your own time", which is what people are doing with everything now a days. You can learn Tarot on your own time at your own pace. You can learn to enhance your skills with being a medium at home on your own time. 
Frankly, they opened me up to the possibility of healing.

I actually want to thank the spirits (and Steve Murray) for sending me the information at that time. I would not have landed in this very spot here and now.  

I would totally buy the DVD’s now just to have it for maintenance. I hear it is a good idea to get the attunement every so often. My Reiki teacher even advised me that he would do it if I ever felt that I needed it.
I think I am grateful that Reiki is in my life because I would not have found my most favorite teacher in the world. He has been my mentor, bestie, and fellow Tarot Geek for a while now. Reiki really led me to Brian Parker.

Kudos to Reiki.

Until next time.

Blessed Be,
