Take some time for you

I wonder how many of us are aware of Reiki or a healing modality yet seldom put it to use upon ourselves. We may even be in the service of helping others and giving our time and energy into that practice to help them and yet do little for our own well being.

There's also the times when we are feeling "off" and we have this wonderful gift at our disposal and yet decry its use. Instead, we may well retreat and allow whatever needs to pass to take its course. Yet, all the while we have this practice which can help us immensely.

It isn't just Reiki. It could be meditation, which again is a wonderful tool to bring ourselves back into alignment and again we will refrain from its use. Instead, we become wrapped up in our own thoughts and pull away.

It's important to note though that we never want to force anything. If we aren't feeling it, then whatever practice we use isn't likely to help us and indeed can hold us back. It is almost a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Therefore, what is the solution. The word that comes to me is simply awareness. When we remind ourselves that we do have tools at our disposal we may feel more inclined to draw upon them. If we can find that sense of flow instead of apprehension then that door of healing potential may begin to open.

It is in this space where change can begin, but it must always be at the pace that is right for us. Then, we may just begin to get ourselves back into alignment once again.
