Hi All,
I want to remind everyone that the blog will not
post on May 18th or the 25th. I will be on retreat. June
1st will be the last blog until September as I will be taking the
summer off from the blog to do some writing and work on projects. As you all
know, lately I feel like I’m repeating information that was written here over
the years. I’m hopeful that come September I’ll have a new direction to take
with the blog and better information.
Let’s get down to some dates you’ll need for this
month.
May 10th is Mother’s Day
May 13th Wednesday the Celtic Tree month
of Hawthorn begins.
May 18th is the New Moon so take this
night to release all that which isn’t working for you. Mercury goes into
retrograde until June 11. Yikes!
May 25th is Memorial Day. Get out there
and remember all of our Vets who have proudly given their lives for our freedom
or are serving or have served to protect it. Thank you all who have protected
our freedom.
That should take care of May until I return.
Let’s talk about the Power Symbol for Reiki today.
Cho Ku Rei is the name of the power symbol and it
means put the power here. Usually, taught in Level l or 2 depending on the
Master, with this symbol you are physically directing the energy of Reiki to be
in an area. The symbol is usually drawn one way starting left to right. However,
I have been taught to also draw it right to left and when doing so you are
taking out energy from the area or decreasing energy. Now I would like to take
a second and say that the symbols are just a way to activate the energy.
Drawing
a symbol and chanting the name is like pushing a button on the TV for the TV to
turn on. You are using the symbol to activate the energy in the way you wish to
use it. There is no correct way to use it so use it as you feel you need to,
but always have the intent to use it for your highest good. Reiki energy will
never do harm. Any ill affects linked to Reiki is the body’s response to
releasing the blocked energy that Reiki has flushed out so to speak.
You can use the power symbol for just about anything.
You can draw it over your food or water for a energy “pick me up” and to clear
out any negative in the food. I’ve heard of practitioners using it in their
skin care system. You can draw it in your home to assist with raising the
vibrations of your living space or to clear out unwanted energy in your space. Use
it on your plants and pets. There is no limit!
Most of the time, during a session, the power symbol
is used to start the channeling process. For me it’s a turn on switch to
channel after I’ve said my quick prayer of intent. I’ve found it effective in
opening and balancing chakras. The more you work with this, the more you will
use it and be comfortable knowing where to use it.
At the expo I had a person ask why I teach Reiki and
charge so little. I was taught by two masters. One charged a lot of money and I
got very little information or knowledge from, and the other I paid very little
for and gained a bunch of knowledge from. The one I gained the most from I also
learned that the gift of Reiki is really a birth right we all have. We are all
able to connect with it. Therefore why would you pay an ungodly amount of money
to learn what you know already in your heart? Now, I am a firm believer that
the attunement is something passed from Master to Student and really helps the
student’s body to accept the energy he or she will be channeling. I also
believe the attunement opens and balances the chakras to clear out blocks
within the student making them a clear channel for the energy. Do I believe you
can practice Reiki without an attunement…yeah I do, and I know I will get flack
for that but I did as a child and never had a name for what I was doing. So
there you go.
My book Mystic Monday walks you through how to
practice intuitive energy work so if you are interested check it out on Amazon.
There is a link to it on my website or here it is...
Have an amazing week!
Blessings All,
Wendy
