July '24 Reiki Spark

Welcome to your monthly Reiki Spark - a quick update to support the momentum of your energetic goals between sessions.
Sparks in CURIOSITY, INTENTION, INSPIRATION and WELLBEING are some of Reiki’s many gifts. Here are a few JULY sparks just for you…

2-MINUTE SOMATIC TOUCHPOINT
Some people are built for the heat of summer and I am not one of them. I get cranky, impatient and am generally not my best self when I’m overheated. During this stretch of hot weather, I return to my tool kit for this somatic exercise that’s rooted in mindfulness and the principles of Reiki.

Pause,
Take a deep breath,
Close your eyes,
Gently notice the place in your body where you feel the struggle
(for me it’s usually in my chest),
Lightly rest your hand on that spot and feel for sensation under your hand,
(this is what I’m doing during your Reiki sessions)
Notice without judging with another deep breath.
What do you feel?

In two minutes the nervous system gets a little reset so we can carry on with more grace.

Is this something you can see yourself trying?

REIKI LORE
In my lineage tradition, I learned that Reiki’s founder Mikao Usui’s Reiki journey began with this question from his students, “Do you believe in the power of hands-on healing?” Usui’s investigations on this topic found that throughout time and across cultures there’s been a belief in the innate ability to heal with our hands. Though western culture has seen this belief diminished, we’re seeing a resurgence of interest in energetics even within the scientific community. The healing modality and spiritual practice of Reiki is meant to tap into our innate gift of giving and receiving energetic healing.

What other aspects of Reiki lore are you interested in?

YOUR REIKI COMMUNITY
Your Reiki sessions are private and and very personal but you’re not alone… you're part of a community of people whose intuition led them to the practice of Reiki for help with wellbeing. To shine a light on the ways Reiki can be supportive, here are some of the intentions Bonnie and I have facilitated in July:

cancer treatment support,
better self-care,
clarity,
centering,
increased energy,
hip discomfort,
job related stress,
shedding negative energy.

How has Reiki supported your intentions?

We hope the easy inquiries at the end of each section feel useful. For regular Reiki recipients, your Year of Reiki workbook with even more exploration around your intention’s themes can be found HERE.

See you soon,
