Reiki is an essential part of our wellbeing, calming our minds and our inner being, with all the rules and changes at the moment our inner selves needs the light shining on us, to help us and support us. We are being hugely challenged, our way of life has changed enormously, no longer can we hug or embrace other people without thinking ‘we might catch the virus’ even going shopping is an effort, what with queuing and sanitising, no longer can we just ‘pop’ into the supermarket or shop without all these rules. I’m not saying we shouldn’t do them, what I am saying it’s a new way of life which has it’s advantages and disadvantages. Some of us have lost people we love and the grief is all consuming, especially as funerals and send offs are practically non-existent. We each have to mourn in our own way, our emotions all over the place, friends try to help but at the end of the day, the grief is ours, it can be very lonely.
So as the quote above says, we have to let go and be free, difficult I know but clinging to sadness and depression will not solve anything, only making us unwell and stopping us going forward. Remember the Precepts NO ANGER, NO WORRY, BE TRUE TO OURSELVES, BE GRATEFUL, SHOW COMPASSION TO OURSELVES AND OTHERS.
The past has gone and we can only learn from it, the present is moving always, and the future is not here, this moment is the only moment, changing our mindset will bring freedom.
Be like the mountains, solid and firm, Fudo Myo .
Love and Peace to us all

Beautiful thoughts Jenni. Thank you. Letting go gives freedom and life. By breathing and letting it all go we become still and at peace. Whatever comes our way the calmness and serenity washes over us and the love just grows. Thank you ??
Lovely Jenny, yes, one must move on grief affects us because of the love and friendship we have with those we lost.
Anger – what is the point, got a problem, discuss it rather than get ? stressed.
Compassion goes without saying, BE KIND….. doesn’t cost anything….
There are many issues in this world with people who can’t cope with, your courses and teachings will help.
Wishing you a busier time than you have had due to this Covid……the dreaded word.
Your friend, Chris
Thanks Chris. xx
Thank you for this reminder Jenny.
I know not everyone has the ‘luxury’ of time or occasionally the commitment to self compassion that daily practice brings. Those few moments of calm reflection to meditate or chant the precepts with our mouths and to hold them in our hearts which would in fact ease our own paths and the paths of those we meet, appropriately distanced of course.
‘The miraculous medicine of all diseases
Just for today,
Do not get angry
Do not worry
Be filled with gratitude
Devote yourself to your work.
Be kind to people.
Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer.
Pray these words to your heart and chant these words out loud.
These Five principles are the most superior teachings for all human beings in the whole world.’

For those we have lost ourselves, whether our immediate connections, or those to whom we are connected by universal energy and our experience with Reiki I hope
The law of the conservation of energy brings some solace.
‘Your “light,” that is, the essence of your energy — not to be confused with your actual consciousness — will continue to echo throughout space until the end of time.”’
And yes, Love and Peace to us all, to you, Jenny.
Thankyou Jenny for those lovely words. It is so true that we can only find peace in ‘the moment’ although this takes much practice, self questioning and commitment. Your blogs are always so inspiring to me and beautifully written. Love and light and Thankyou xxxx
Thanks Jenny for sharing. A reminder is often very helpful, as life is chaotic. Heres to an onwards and definitely upwards future for everyone! Blessings to you and all your friends and followers, Steve X
