Transformation & Personal Responsibility
November 16, 2020
There have been a lot of restrictions placed upon us in recent months which have created uncertainty in many of our professional and personal lives. Such stressors can generate feelings of unhappiness, resentment and fear. These feelings can impact our energy to make it negative and heavy. This negativity can be turned towards others as it is often easier than dealing with the true issues. To deal with these issues requires personal responsibility. Ask yourself: Am I part of the problem or the solution? If you are part of the problem, you need to stop blaming and start listening. Listening requires you to reflect on the issues, thoughts or actions that are holding you captive in the negative cycle. This can be in any area of your life where things are not going as expected. If you do not accept personal responsibility, you cannot change, heal or grow.
As discussed in this week’s Vlog, there is a more relaxed and healing type of energy entering our sphere this week from the New Moon. It will bring a renewed sense of calm that can combat the negative cycle and bring about change. This month’s totem animal, the snake, is all about change and transformation. Just as the snake sheds his old skin for new, so too can we shed the negative energy and embrace the forward momentum that will bring. Carell also did a tarot card reading and one of the cards she pulled was the spiral. It is shaped like a coiled serpent and has been used since ancient times as a tool for growth and transformation. The essence of this card and the similarity to the snake sign is a renewal of self.
A big part of healing, changing or growing is self care. Our definition of self care is honoring your own inner beauty. It is taking time for yourself, honoring yourself, your energy, what you know, sense, and feel. You may feel scared and vulnerable but that is a normal reaction to change. Have faith and trust that if you take the time, you will feel better in the future. If you continue to ask for help and clarity, it will be revealed. You have to be open to hear the answer.
You may be thinking, how can I engage in self care with all of the restrictions? The answer may be simpler than you think. You can create a space in your home that is solely for you. You can practice meditation, clear the energy in your house, take an online Reiki class or have an online healing. Ki Lifestyle Solutions Inc. offers all of these virtually and much more. If you would like to set up an online appointment or if you need further information, please contact us. Namaste!
The ‘Veil' - the dividing line between the divine, and this physical construct of earth. So many of us still don’t see the magic that can be witnessed between here and there. Often, you will hear that the veil is thinner than it has been at other times of the year, or during a spiritual retreat or ceremony. We are the creators of our existence. We have the power to make this happen, whether we are attuned and initiated into Reiki, or not. The difference between having Reiki as a lifestyle, as opposed to not having it, was revealed to me over the past couple of years. I see how quickly people are learning what took me 10 to 15 years to accomplish. Good news for those who waited, and also for those who started three decades ago. The time construct is an illusion. Time doesn’t exist, so really, we are all precisely where we need to be. Comparison using a timeline, really, is a process of our perceptions and what we align with in the moment. For example, I am currently in a new meditation practice, and a new experience has arisen. In this experience, a whole new reality unfolds, presenting a new opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of myself, and create more extraordinary experiences. Reiki will bring us all to this place eventually, guided and protected so our childlike wonder can develop and take us beyond the veil. Can we achieve this without Reiki? Absolutely, but as a person who is sensitive to energy, I find this modality has given me the love and grace to explore with childlike wonder. I still get to listen to, and follow my higher knowing, and it insists that I do so, but I get to move along at the pace of growth that serves me best (even if my ego thinks differently). Not all of it has been easy, but as parents allow their child to learn to walk and become more human, so does God, Spirit and the creator, allow us to develop in whatever way is intended for each of us. This reflection has both positive and negative aspects, from which we can learn. Soon, the child knows not to touch the hot flame or burning wood. Beyond the veil is where we can heal ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This is where the supernatural kicks in. As this human experience unfolds, we get to observe, watch and learn. Become the watcher, become the magician, and orchestrate the reality your eyes desire to see. There is no prescribed timing, or amount of required waiting. We only need to allow flow, let go, and enjoy the experience. This is only possible when we are the closest to the veil, or when there is the thinning of the veil, as the veil itself on this side of the human experience creates the illusion. Reality awaits beyond the veil—the experience where we heal, grow, and evolve into our life purpose, the place of our universal connection to our creator self, and where we recognize who our guides, teachers, and higher self are, as well as the reality we desire to be in. When invoking the Cho-ku-Rei symbol, take your time, do it with intention and focus. Pause and wait to feel the energy. Really, DO NOT RUSH. Feel it, know it, and understand it. Even if we are seasoned masters, and have been doing it for a long time, this is all the more reason to do this step with intentional clarity and smoothness. As the veils are so very, very thin, you may be surprised by the magic, and how reality can change into beauty so quickly. If we spend too much time in a single state when we're out in the world, we can get stuck. If we no longer like this experience, we sometimes forget that we have the power and tools to change it. Reiki keeps us tuned and connected to creating our desired reality. Tips for aligning with the “Veil”: Invoke Reiki. Use the Cho-ku-Rei and Sei-hei-ki symbols and ground them into the Earth. Be slow and precise, and pause for at least 40 to 90 seconds after you invoke the emblem. Energy flow. Breathe and move the energy down to the one-point (Tan Tien). Open-heart connection. Simply touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra position. Surrender. Open up to receive with childlike wonder. Calm the mind. Hear your breath or a continuous noise - no thought. Meditation. Starting with a simple OM Meditation is excellent, 10 to 15 minutes, allow yourself to feel. Breathing. Circle your breath - up from the bottom of the left foot and up the body over the crown, and then exhale down the right side. Consult your inner knowing. See if your inner knowing relays any messages, images, or body sensations. Pay attention . An image is worth a thousand words. Journal. Write, dream and create what those meanings are for you. Take action. Move and do one thing that brings reality closer to you. If you need help facilitating any steps, or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These tools help gain insight, identify what keeps you stuck, and create strategies to achieve your goals. ~ Namaste & Many Blessings!
