Setting Boundaries and Flattery Manipulation

We have all the vibrational frequencies available to us:Love, joy as well as sadness, anger.Affirmations help us to send an inner intention to pay more attention to the positive vibrations.When writing your sentence to send Reiki to, if it is material such as ‘more money’ or ‘attracting a partner’ take time to question: “What do I think having these will give me?”Often it is a deeper yearning for more peace, love, safety, security.So best to find those feelings instead and grow your capacity to feel them without external help.Sending Reiki to the feelings you want to put more attention to will grow those feelings and attract more gratitude and abundance into your life.https://www.reiki-centre.com For online Reiki courses, please see here: https://online.reiki-centre.com

Poor boundaries often make support and self-sacrifice feel identical. Healthy support is driven by love, choice and sustainability. It recognises two people’s needs matter EQUALLY. Self-sacrifice is driven by guilt, obligation, fear of conflict. It is open-ended, leaving you resentful or sick. It operates on the assumption their needs matter MORE. The Flattery Trap: When someone says, "You’re so much more helpful/understanding/patient than [such and such]," Your internal alarm should go off. That is a prompt to over-give. Your self-care check-in: Have you given yourself time to decide? Do you want to do this? If you say “Yes”, what are you saying “No” to? Can you sit in the discomfort of watching someone else’s disappointment in you?https://www.reiki-centre.comFor online Reiki courses, please see here: https://online.reiki-centre.com

A lovely calming meditation when you feel jangling energy, either within yourself or in the environment. Recorded at our weekly meditation community meeting. This meditation is dedicated to Reiki Master Teacher Deborah Lindsay, my dear friend who has now found joy and peace, an honour to have known you my friend.

Thoughts are energy fields and have impact. Good thoughts make us feel good, bad thoughts make us feel bad. Fears have an energy vibrational frequency. The root cause of your fears could come from your life trauma, through epigenetics (memories passed down through ancestral fear), or even past life events. Epigenetics and past life work doesn’t necessarily respond to exposure therapy or CBT. Sending Reiki helps to direct universal energy to help harmonise the fear or phobia. Simply write out the sentence “to the root cause of my fear of....” or “to harmonise my fear of ...” And send healing Reiki to your intention.

New historical documents have come to light (via Justin Stein) that suggest Hawayo Takata was telling the truth when she said Usui was headmaster at a Christian School! His CV includes time in the US and Taiwan, much as Takata had described. Hawayo Takata’s account was dismissed as story telling in the late 1990s and early 2000s when evidence researched by Frank Arjava Petter and others indicated Usui was in fact Buddhist. But it appears he took his wife’s name - Suzuki - and perhaps this is what hindered research at the time. This is an important adjustment. It describes the originator of Reiki as someone open to different religious ideologies. It also reminds us to hold lightly the content and education of Reiki, rather than solidifying it into a ‘truth’. New ‘truths’ come to light all the time.

Keep focus on the Bigger Question: Who am I really? Am I really just this little human character running around the planet - born, work, relationships, grasping, stressing, die? As long as you believe you are only this small character, you will constantly push and strive and compare. We have brainwashed ourselves well. The Inner Critic may well become softer, more loving, less harsh, but good cop, bad cop will continue to run the show. Or am I something more? Eternal, conscious, playful What if you can pop out of this delusion and see that you are eternal, aware, mysterious. Simply playing a part, taking a little peek at being this human being. So much relaxes, so much becomes impossible to believe or get stressed about.

The Essence of Reiki is the connection of your own personal life energy with the greater Universal life force. When you learn Reiki, the teacher or learning method is secondary to this primary connection. If you are totally new to Reiki and energy work, it makes sense you would want more guidance and a teacher who can provide support, tips, practice, and reassurance. In this case, a face to face class with teacher interaction and post-class support makes the most sense. If you are already experienced with energy work, or trust your own intuition, it makes sense you would want more freedom to explore your connection based on your own philosophy and wisdom. In this case the teacher is secondary, you could easily do it online, or via self-attunement. There is no “right” technology or way to do Reiki. There is only your personal relationship with Reiki and how it best works for you. Trust your intuition, your inner wisdom and be open to experiment and be playful.

Reiki Education has changed enormously over the years. From the 1980-90s oral tradition of hierarchy, teacher-student, strict levels and pricing, secrecy and rules. To the 2000's new Japanese lineages, historical insights, new tools. To the post covid online expansion and proliferation of schools, courses. As a Reiki teacher this can feel threatening, difficult, like Reiki is being diluted or destroyed. Or it can be embraced as the expansion of Reiki learning, accessibility of knowledge, growth of Reiki community and acceptance. The more people who learn Reiki, the more Reiki there is in the world. If you are a Teacher feeling threatened, frustrated, angry at the state of Reiki today, ask yourself: What is my wish for Reiki, and for people? Do I wish Reiki to be available to more people? Do I wish more people to be connected with their self-healing abilities? Do I wish for a world were Reiki is a household name? If you answer YES to these questions, then ask yourself: How do I want to express Reiki that feels ethical and right for me? Can I find my own unique place in the world of Reiki teaching and trust the right students will find me? Is there more I can be doing given the technology, tools and information now available? And allow all Reiki teachers to find their own place, and there right students. Be grateful for the expansion of Reiki, and the will of Reiki to grow energetically in its own way. Be grateful to all Reiki teachers everywhere and their contribution to the growth of Reiki and the connection of more and more people to their Universal life flow.
