Meditation is a fundamental aspect of traditional Japanese Reiki practice, but it isn’t often emphasized in Western Reiki practice. This is unfortunate, as a regular meditation practice can be incredibly beneficial for Reiki practitioners, helping to deepen their connection to Reiki energy, improve their intuition, and enhance their overall wellbeing.

The people I am researching have no more knowledge or ability than me. They just came up with their way of doing things and shared it. I don’t have to listen to their ideas as if they are rules. I need to see what inspires me, act on that inspiration, and see what happens. When I get the urge to act, of course I need to listen!
Read moreReturning From the State of Flow
When I return to the full power of my physical senses after being in a state of deep spiritual awareness and connection, it is just not a comfortable transition for me. Maybe I need to learn to stay in my body more during the spiritual connection, but at this point in my development, trying to tether myself to my body inhibits that state of flow for me. I have found ways to make the transition less uncomfortable, though.
Read moreMy Experience Meditating with ADHD
This morning I had an aha moment… perhaps my ADHD diagnosis has something to do with my struggle to stick to a regular meditation routine? I felt a bit silly for not having realized before that the way my brain is wired may well have everything to do with the fact that I find trying to enter stillness for long periods on a schedule next to impossible.
Read moreTake Just One Deep Breath
My favorite practice taught by Eckhart Tolle is that of the One Conscious Breath. Eckhart teaches that practicing mindfulness doesn’t have to be a long and involved process. Just one deep breath is enough to ground us in the present moment and center ourselves in consciousness. One deep breath is enough to interrupt the constant stream of thinking and give our minds a break.

How often do you take the time to consciously stop the stream of thoughts? It is important to enter a state of no thought often in order to give our minds a break.

Children are by nature very busy and often distracted. Stillness can be hard for them to attain. I find my children do better with moving meditations. I try to guide them in mindful walking by speaking out loud what I am noticing and asking them questions.

I was slow to add meditation to my self-care and spiritual practice. I have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder Without Hyperactivity). Sitting still and quieting my mind seemed like an impossible feat. I did not think I would ever be able to get to that sweet spot I had heard of. That place of calm connectedness sounded so good to me but seemed so out of reach.

This is a guided meditation I use frequently with my family to help them calm down and get to bed at night after a hard day. It is especially helpful when thoughts of things that seemed to go wrong during the day won’t stop circling in the mind.

You walk until you come a clearing in the woods. There is pond here, filled by a little waterfall, to one side of you. Notice that there is a small opening behind the waterfall. A little cave. Something seems to be glowing there, behind the water. Move closer and you can see the glow is coming from several dancing little lights. One of the lights comes forth from the little cave. It flies through the water and towards you. you have no fear. Just pleasant curiosity about this beautiful little light.

After looking around for a good meditation to use, I decided to write it myself this month. To prepare, I took some time to center myself and activate Reiki with gratitude and intention. I used the power symbol to help charge my energy, the mental/emotional symbol to get into my creative zone, and the distance/connection symbol to connect with divine guidance for inspiration. I wanted to share the results with you.
