Mindful Reiki Walk

Our Women’s journey took us to Tofino B.C. this year. What a beautiful magical space. Even though at times it was raining it was still so amazing. It was the perfect scenery and the most welcoming space I have been to that felt so similar to Hawaii. The only big difference is the beautiful hot weather that we enjoyed and the warm tropical breezes in Hawaii!

Exploring on Vancouver Island is so much fun even in the rain. The times when we wanted to walk, we would gladly put on our rain gear and venture out to explore. It felt refreshing and made me feel alive.

The one thing that I had much gratitude over was that we drank good water from the tap and you could inhale nice clean air. It is those simple things that I realized are so life giving and so precious. It brought me back to a time when I lived in the Kootenays as a child. It was a playground of beauty.

I wanted to share a bit of the experience there in Tofino so you can imagine some mindfulness when you do your Reiki walk. I did mine in the botanical garden where it took us on a meandering path of items displayed as memory reminders from the past, overgrown with plants. My favorite is this delight.....

The path took us right to the ocean with other connecting paths that you can also explore. As I did this walk my mindfulness went right to how I walked this path and with gratitude. I allowed my child like wonder lead me forward not really knowing what to expect. I invoked the Reiki symbols in front of me and my heart space to create a clear path for me to take in all that was around me and all that the forest and the garden had to share. It was like walking into a fairy tale of beauty and magic. My one hour of time was a great gift as I was able to connect to nature in a playful way and allow what was to be left behind and at the same time create a new view of where I was intending to move towards when I was to return back to Alberta. The Reiki symbols gave me a gift for my heart space. You would have to experience this yourself to know what it means. Try this on any kind of hike or nature walk.

Namaste!
