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.
Read moreGiving Objects Reiki Attunements
Can an object be attuned to Reiki? This question came to me about a year ago, but the seed for it was planted early on in my Reiki practice. You see, many people sell items they market as “Reiki Charged”. In fact, I used methods I found in articles on Reiki Rays to charge items with Reiki myself. As time went on though, and I became more familiar with the energy, I began to wonder exactly what this charging was doing.

Read moreFear of the Highest Good and What Can Trigger It
I had someone reach out to me wanting Reiki sent to a specific situation for a specific outcome. I told them I would send Reiki for their highest good and that of the situation. They asked me not to do this and expressed fear of their highest good. At first this may seem a strange fear, but it is not an uncommon one.
There are three common reasons this fear of a person’s highest good may manifest. One is that they do not believe they deserve to experience good things. If a person believes that they do not deserve the very best in life, they may fear that their highest good isn’t going to be very enjoyable. There may be a sense of wanting to set low expectations so as not to be disappointed. This is belief of not deserving good things is a faulty belief that will keep a person out of alignment with their higher-self and block their highest good. Reiki may relieve the block temporarily, but in order to facilitate lasting change, the person will need to recognize their true worthiness. Raising their confidence and level of self-love will be necessary.
Another reason one may fear aligning with their highest good is a belief that it means being the best version of themselves and that maybe the best version of themselves will not be the most fun or enjoyable version. They may fear the responsibility of always having to be the best they can be. They may need help to realize that being in alignment with our highest good will always feel good. They need to know that when something is in their highest good, the responsibility will come naturally and feel right to them once they let go of resistance they hold due to faulty beliefs. They may also need some guidance in discovering what their higher self is trying to tell them, through their emotions, that their highest good is.
A third reason a fear of one’s highest good may present itself is if, at least on some level, the person knows that what they want is not in their best interest. This may happen when a person is in a situation that causes a pleasure response but is unhealthy for them. For example, a drama heavy relationship, drug and alcohol use, or eating junk foods can all have this effect, as well as many other things. What people need to learn in this situation is that the joy that can result from aligning with their higher good will far outweigh the pleasure they find in these unhealthy things. Letting go can be hard and painful but is worth the effort.
Although all of these things must be overcome in order to come into alignment with one’s greatest good, that can only happen if they are ready. In a healing practice, there may be times that we will work with people who are struggling with these sorts of faulty beliefs. Although we may recognize them, it is good to try to guide those struggling to their own conclusion of where this fear of the highest good is coming from and how they can best overcome it while supporting them with Reiki and love.
