We have often heard the term “spiritual awakening” used to describe a release from whatever bondages may be holding us back from achieving peace of mind and spirit.  However, this kind of growth is not about learning something new.  It is about tapping in to what we already know, but have forgotten.  It is really a “spiritual remembering”.

When we are born we are perfect beings of love, peace, and balanced energy.  We do not hold negativity of any kind within us.  Children are free spirits who are full of happiness, unconditional love and present-moment authenticity.  Negativity is something that creeps in later; taught to us by society, and sometimes by our families.  This negativity is borne out of fear, and manifests as feelings of lack, separation, inadequacy, judgment, pain, illness, disease, and an eventual forgetting of the beautifully perfect nature of our souls.

Reiki therapy is a method of energy balancing that offers a gentle, peaceful, forgiving way to achieve our spiritual remembering.  Reiki balances our energy centers, or “chakras” through healing touch.  When our energy is underactive, overactive, scattered or blocked; it manifests as physical, mental, and emotional problems.  These imbalances pull us farther away from remembering our true, whole, healthy nature.  Reiki brings us into balance, peace, and the light of perfection.

There has been much talk about world-changing events that have been predicted by ancient calendars to occur at the end of this year.  Fearful people believe the world is going to end.  Positive people believe the world as we know it is going to end, and a transformation to a loving, peaceful world is going to begin.  Reiki energy balancing is at the forefront of this movement toward positive change.

All of our energy imbalances have fear at their center.  Anger, worry, sadness, stress, loneliness, frustration, and all other negative emotions are a form of fear.  When we strip the fear away, we “remember” that we are whole and perfect exactly as we are.  Reiki helps to do that.  The result is not only a beautiful, perfect healing of the body; the result is also a calm and peaceful spirit.  And when this is achieved on a global scale, the result is a peaceful planet where love, not fear, is the operating principle.

We can help move this planetary energy shift forward by practicing the Reiki principles of letting go of worry and anger, of being thankful for our many blessings, and of living a life of kindness and honesty.  We can remember that we are whole and perfect no matter what happens to us.  We can know, without a doubt, that we are still those beautiful free spirits that we were when we were children…perfect beings of love, peace, and balanced energy.
