Stay in Flow with Reiki!

Those attuned to Reiki may be better able to connect to a state of flow, while chaotic energy shifts, than those who are not attuned. However, if a person has energy and body awareness, and the knowledge of how to be grounded, they may also be better able to stay present and align with chaotic energy, to also remain in a state of flow. The keywords here are connect, grounded and present. This is a challenge with most folks. It is the ability to be grounded with an open-hearted connection that leads us to know much more about the flow of energy than what the five senses are witnessing.  This is where we often get trapped, as we close off our hearts, disconnect from the Earth, and call on experiences of the past. It becomes our go-to response or reaction, reinforcing the patterns that keep us stuck.

Meditation helps, but you also have to move within life, and operate from a place of knowing, not with your head in the higher realms. The head or body experience must be present in the now in order to open up to other possibilities, a step that is often overlooked. Reiki is a tool for learning, and gaining an understanding of how to work with the energy field, also known as the auric field. The symbols are powerful and can provide an immediate connection to help us stay in flow during chaos. My daily rituals and practices have been monumental in creating a safe space for me to be in the flow during times of chaos. I trust and know that my body will align, and tell me what is needed, how to respond, or how to remain in flow at every moment. 

As I learn more about the element of water and its remarkable properties, I am also discovering its profound power of memory. The more I recall compassion, courage, love, and gratitude, the more my powerful flow of energy stays in the present, and is not wasted on the past or the future. When I invoke the symbol cho-ku-rei and sei-he-ki into my body or the water I drink, it creates an imprint and a deep connection to the water element. Our bodies are composed of over 60 percent water, and some other parts of us are even higher. Why is this so relevant to staying in flow? The water element teaches us that it is not just for hydrating and cleansing, it is also the communicator for our cells and the Earth’s cells. It is the memory bringer, and when we can remember how powerful we are, in the chaos, we stand to gain strength and endurance to stay in the flow. Reiki enhances our rituals and ceremonies by adding energy, utilizing a language that water responds to, as do our bodies. This is healing for our cells, as it is nourished with a purity that informs the body it is safe, allowing it to stop responding to the parasympathetic nervous system, which often communicates through cellular memory. Reiki eliminates the guesswork, allowing for a smoother flow. Like all our energy work, intention and prayer play a significant role in this. A balance of electrolytes and trace minerals is necessary to reach the cells and rehydrate them. If the body is healed and feels safe, then our survival response will not remain in overdrive. Reiki is a tool to help us navigate and stay in flow amidst chaos.

Tips for Staying in Flow through Chaos:

1. Invoke Reiki Symbols. Use Cho-ku-Rei and Sei-he-ki- and ground into the Earth. Use your mind's eye to visualize the symbols at the 6th chakra, 4th chakra, and 10th chakra.
2. Trust your intuition. What are you sensing? Hear your heart-mind; do not make knee-jerk reactions. Give yourself room to reflect on what you have just learned. Journal, practice meditation or practice Reiki self-healing for your nervous system.
3. Be in the moment. Practice being in gratitude and compassion. A mantra or Reiki symbol can help you get back to the present moment when you feel lost.
4. Allow for exploration. What is your body feeling and experiencing, don’t deny or block what you think or feel.
5. Go within. Keep working on compassion for yourself and others. Ultimate unconditional love has no judgment. Reiki is another way to replenish yourself with positive energy, and cultivate compassion.
6. Dedicate time to ceremonies. Continue with rituals that help you connect to the elements, especially water. 
7. Daily self check-in.  Are you living up to the new choices and agreements you made with yourself?  Re-evaluate the strategies and rituals that keep you present and moving towards your soul's path, or what brings joy into your life.
