Trusting in Reiki
by William Lee Rand

Life has its ups and downs and there are times when we're required to deal with issues, problems and challenges that seem difficult to us. Perhaps the situation is new and we have no experience with it or there may be multiple factors including many people to consider and deep or complex feelings making it uncomfortable to think about. Or there could be pressure from a friend or relative to choose their way or to keep things the same as they've always been, which you may not want to do. The smooth flow of life can sometimes be interrupted by unexpected events that require us to make decisions and it's important that we remain focused and use our best thinking when dealing with them.

However, during times like this our unresolved distress often gets triggered making the situation more difficult. Feelings of fear, doubt, worry, anger and shame can cloud the issue and interfere with our ability to think clearly, to make wise decisions and to take appropriate action. As we focus on the problem, we can be pulled more deeply into our own distress and feelings of panic can develop further limiting our ability to function. While we may have the personal resources necessary to solve our problems, the secondary feelings that arise can sabotage our ability to do so.

The experiences we have in life have a purpose; this includes the difficult situations as well as the easy ones. The purpose of difficulty is to offer us the opportunity to learn about ourselves, to heal and to grow. To fulfill this purpose, it's necessary that we decide to do so; we need to make the conscious choice to face the unhealthy feelings our circumstances bring up, heal them in a compassionate way and develop the skills necessary to resolve the issue. Doing this consistently creates a life of confidence, satisfaction and success.

Reiki can help you do this, often in an extraordinary way. Reiki healing energy comes from outside our personal consciousness and therefore isn't affected by the feelings of distress we may have. It is a pure form of higher consciousness and contains the potential to help us heal our personal issues and solve the problems we encounter. It's possible to turn our problems over to Reiki and allow Reiki to solve them. This is a higher path to personal achievement and goes beyond the usual way people deal with life.

We attract to us and also amplify what we think about. When we're experiencing something that is causing us emotional distress and we focus on the difficulty of it, rather than this helping us solve the problem, we're drawn more deeply into the distress. It's been said that worry is like praying for something you don't want. So, when you're experiencing a difficult situation, rather than focus on it, a better choice is to focus on the peace and healing energy of Reiki; turn the problem over to Reiki and let it go by keeping your mind on Reiki. By doing this you'll attract Reiki energy into your aura and emotions and the Reiki energy will heal your distress. This process can work with your personal healing issues and also with situations in the outer world.

One way to shift your awareness out of the distress and into the healing energy of Reiki is to use affirmations. If you've got a difficult situation you'd like help with, try repeating one or more of these affirmations over and over for several minutes. Return to your affirmation several times a day whenever you have time or are feeling the need.

I am the peace and confidence of Reiki

I surrender to the safety and protection of Reiki

I give my problems to Reiki knowing they are solved

I am the abundance and prosperity of Reiki

I am the freedom and joy of Reiki

If you'd like to fine tune this process to the specific experience you're having, take a moment to identify the distressful feeling(s) you're experiencing and think of the opposite positive feeling or state. Then create a Reiki affirmation using the positive concept. Here are a couple of examples: If you're feeling fear you could create an affirmation that states: “I trust in the loving care of Reiki.” If you're feeling doubt, “The confidence of Reiki fills my entire being.” The important thing with this process is that you choose the affirmation that is opposite to your negative feeling and feels good to you. You'll know if it's right by how you feel when you use it.

By using Reiki affirmations in this way, you'll be shifting your awareness away from the distress and toward Reiki. By doing this, you'll stop contributing to your negative feelings by not focusing on them and you'll be calling in Reiki to heal the problem. As you follow this process your mind and feelings will open and the loving energy of Reiki will flow in. You'll learn something important about yourself, heal and become stronger in important ways, and create the atmosphere in which any outer difficulty can be easily resolved.

Reiki comes from an unlimited supply and is always available to help us. Its loving wisdom is present to heal and to make our lives happy and prosperous. Always remember to use Reiki and your life will be filled with joy.

Reiki and Living Your Life on Purpose
by William Lee Rand

Life is filled with challenges, problems and unwanted situations that prevent us from being happy and stop us from fulfilling our dreams. This situation often leaves us feeling frustrated about life and after butting our heads against one disappointment after another we may come to realize that what we really want in life isn't going to happen. So we give in and accept a life less meaningful than what we really want, stuffing our dreams away where they no longer tug on our hearts.

And yet, this isn't the way life has to be. There is a way to live our dreams, to allow the fondest desires of our heart to lead the way into a life of meaning and purpose that is healthy and kind and fulfilling. Within the heart of Reiki are the solutions we need to find our way out of difficulty and into a life of clarity, peace and purpose; a life that is right for us and makes sense and allows us to be the person we were meant to be.

All the things that have slowed you down, and blocked your plans and stopped you from doing what you want are there for a reason. Rather than condemning them and wishing they weren't there and trying to get away from them, if you would realize that they are directing you toward the answers you need to achieve your dreams, you'd take the time to focus directly on them and ferret out the lessons they are trying to provide you.

When you fail at something, it doesn't mean all is lost. Within every failure are the lessons needed to achieve your goals. People fail because they lack one or more of the skills or resources needed to succeed. By taking the time to analyze what happened and discover what those skills and resources are, and then develop them, there can be a next time that is more likely to succeed. By following this process, one continually develops ones skills and personal qualities until ones goal is achieved.

There are two kinds of intelligence. One is intellectual intelligence or IQ. The second is emotional intelligence. Of the two, emotional intelligence is by far the most important. As an example, there are lots of people with high IQs who are unable to achieve their goals and live lives of unhappiness, neurosis and discontent. Clearly being smart is no guarantee for success. However, having a high level of emotional intelligence allows one to make wise decisions, and persist with plans until a valued goal is achieved. Most worthy goals take time to accomplish and because of this, the ability to delay gratification is one of the most important emotional skills one can possess. In addition patience, persistence, organization and timing are also needed to achieve meaningful goals.

While it may be true that life has few guarantees, there is one guarantee that if followed will always bring success. Here it is: Definiteness of purpose sustained over time always brings success. Within this guarantee there are three elements. First, you must have a clearly defined purpose, a definite goal. Second, you must continue to work toward the achievement of your goal continually. On this second point some may ask how long. The answer here is until you achieve your goal. And the final element is the achievement of your goal. This formula has brought success, sometimes great success to millions of people. It will bring success to you.

Take a moment to think about everything that is alive. Is there a common purpose to all living things? If you think about this question it's possible you'll come to the conclusion that there is one purpose that is shared by all living things - the need to grow! Growth is something that all living things do. Therefore, doesn't it make sense to say that the purpose of life is to grow? And of course we do grow physically until adulthood. But after this, in order to truly be alive, we must grow in other ways. By developing new skills and personal qualities we can continue to grow and in this way fulfill the purpose of life. If we're growing into the person we need to be in order to achieve our hearts desires, then we're living a life that is meaningful to us.

If you have Reiki training, you have a useful tool to help you live your life on purpose. The symbols and techniques in Reiki II can help you define your goals and develop the personal skills and resources needed to achieve them. This process will work, but only if you're being guided by your heart. Reiki can help you connect with and heal your heart. And help you trust in your heart. The hopes and plans and dreams that have been hidden away in your heart can be awakened and empowered. Yes, what you always knew to be true when you were young is what is true now. The key to life is to follow your heart.

When you act on the guidance that comes from your heart, the whole universe will rise up to help you. And while the tasks that are required of you may seem difficult, once you accept the challenge and begin to do what you need to do, you'll see that they end up being easier than what you thought. As you move from one accomplishment to another, as certainly you will if you follow this formula, the life of your dreams will unfold before you and become real!

Certainly this is why you were born. Certainly this is what you need to do.
