Reiki has helped my grandkids sleep, find lost keys, hard parking, and write a book. From the practical to the seemingly impractical and everything in between, Reiki helps. And when he forgets, he’s always there to remind me.
Keys, parking lots and grandkids
Keys have always been problematic for me. It seems that they have the ability to disappear before my very eyes. The mental/emotional symbol is better for finding my keys. Premium parking spaces seem to appear when the power symbol is used. The symbol of power is a very versatile symbol. It is often used to seal out light, almost like closing a door to keep heat in a room. So maybe the power symbol will shed light on those hard to find parking spaces! I’m using a pun, but maybe it’s true. How much more practical can you be?
belly crawls
One of my grandsons was a very light sleeper. Victoria had more energy than three children. Since childhood, she considered sleep to be a waste of time.
I remember nights when we played and laughed, and it was his bedtime. I always dreaded bedtime because it was so hard to get him to sleep. Singing, back and foot massage, story reading, and music playing continued for 90 minutes or more. His mother and his father tried everything. It was difficult for her parents, Victoria, and for me, her Nana. I specifically remember the night I realized there was a much easier way to help her fall asleep.
The lullaby cassette, with a money-back guarantee to produce sleep, went off for the sixth time. Every time the music stopped, Victoria would wake up and sit up in bed. Then we would repeat the same process. She would turn on the music and rub his back. With any luck, she would close her eyes. Then she would begin the ritual crawl, hugging the floor and praying that she wouldn’t wake up before I could crawl quietly out of her room. One night, it occurred to me to use Reiki. I did it and it worked. I used the three Usui Reiki symbols, and that child fell asleep and stayed asleep. Oh thank you Reiki. No more belly crawls.
my cooking secret
Most people love to eat what I cook. My toasted cheese sandwiches get rave reviews along with the marinara pasta and a balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing. I love food well prepared and well served. My cooking style is a bit country and a bit gourmet.
Once people try what I make, they often ask for the recipe. But often I cook without a prescription or modify a recipe. I cook like my grandmother, a pinch of this and a tablespoon of that. But my secret ingredient is Reiki.
I use the trinity of Reiki symbols. The power symbol, the mental emotional symbol and the distance symbol enter into the preparation. So whoever eats my food is hurt and receives all the blessings of Reiki energy. The mental emotional symbol helps to dispel any negative feelings. The distance symbol moves forward in time to create a wonderful healing experience for anyone who shares my kitchen. It does your body good!
Over the years it has become comical. When people ask for a recipe, I always give them a written recipe. They make the recipe, always lamenting that it never tastes like mine. If my friends have been instructed in the art of Reiki, I always ask, “Did you put Reiki on the food you were preparing?” They smile and shake their heads. Next time, they use Reiki, and they also get rave reviews. I love knowing that whoever and whenever people eat my food, it nourishes them, mind, body and spirit.
Reiki and writing a book
The book. Well, for the last seven years I’ve been saying that one day I’m going to write a book on healing. Some day. You know how it is someday. It just never happens.
Ironically, although I use Reiki every day, I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I did not initially use Karuna Reiki in conjunction with writing the book. One morning everything changed. I realized that I could use this spiritually guided life force energy to help create the circumstances, discipline, and resources necessary to make my book a reality.
reiki never goes away
Every morning, I wake up, meditate, and activate all the Usui and Karuna Reiki® symbols that I have been attuned to. Both types of Reiki work well together. It was a unique experience during meditation that helped me understand the innate wisdom associated with symbols, and specifically a Karuna Reiki® symbol.
It was a wonderful sunny day. The sun was streaming in through the windows because I remember how warm and good the sun felt on my face. I had been meditating for five minutes when one of the Karuna Reiki® symbols appeared in my mind.
This beautiful symbol was an indescribable iridescent pink and violet color infused with white light. Words are inadequate to describe the image and the sentiment that accompanies it. The image lasted a few seconds and then faded away. My cat, Bentley, made strange cat sounds that he used to reserve for intense Reiki sessions. He has a sixth sense about energy.
Over six years ago, when I took the Karuna Reiki® class, I studied and learned about this symbol. I had always used Karuna along with Usui Reiki. But my use of the symbol was a very general use at the beginning of a Reiki session with a client.
I finished my meditation and hurried to find my Karuna Reiki® manual filed under K in the filing cabinet. I found the symbol.
A perfect symbol to help
This symbol connects the higher self with the lower self for deep healing. I was badly needed in the deep healing department. Remember, the act of writing about healing brings opportunities for healing.
It also improves learning ability, helps with mental clarity to organize our minds, and improves communication. Last but not least, this Karuna Reiki® symbol brings greater creativity by inspiring us with new ideas and adding depth to our projects. That pretty much describes what I needed. The wisdom of the Universe never ceases to amaze me.
This beautiful symbol is now posted on the bulletin board on my computer. I have renewed my appreciation, personal experience and deeper knowledge with Karuna. I also discovered that there is an additional Karuna Reiki® symbol that works well with the one that appeared in my meditation. The two work well together to manifest the development and fulfillment of creative projects. Yes, in fact, I am using those two, and all the Usui and Karuna Reiki® symbols.
As I write this, I’m thinking, why didn’t I remember to use that wonderful symbol earlier?
You know, we are all very human. We take care. And we forget. We focus a lot on other details of life. In retrospect, those details don’t seem all that important. I take comfort in knowing and remembering that once attuned to these sacred symbols, they never leave you. They never leave. They will always be there to support and help.
Elmer’s Universe Glue
From sleeping children, cooking, finding keys and writing a book, Reiki is like Elmer’s Glue to the Universe. Our intention and focus, supported by the spiritually guided life energy of Reiki, creates possibilities and connection to our dreams and the highest good. From the practical to the not so practical, I have used Reiki every day for 13 years. Usui and Karuna Reiki®, and their associated sacred symbols, act as keys to unlock ancient doors to universal light, love, peace and compassion. This process and the results never cease to amaze me.
Reiki is such a valuable resource. The use of Reiki can be very practical and paradoxically impractical. My list of positive Reiki experiences continues to grow longer and longer. I’m very grateful.
Reiki is a living tool and a life tool to be used every day. So from the esoteric to the practical, Reiki is a dynamic life tool. A living tool that helps us create more compassion, peace, love and light. And let him know that as he reads these words, he is blessed with Reiki. I used all of the Usui and Karuna Reiki® symbols to envelop and bless you with love, light, peace and possibility.
