I think I was lucky when my old Friend died, because, for some reason, the ambulance came to get him first after two and half hours from the moment I entered his home.
There had been time for Friends to come, for us to say our last bye bye, to sing for him, wish him the best, and hold a circle. Time had enlarged, so we could do what we felt we needed to, shortly but effectively. Police were with us, and silently participated to what they called was “The most beautiful and touching “bye bye” they had ever experienced.
A couple of months ago , one of my Teachers died too. As I was talking to his wife, I told her I felt lucky and was very grateful for that “time”. She was chocked. They had had her husband in their house for two days, and, as she expressed “It was not even enough!”. The family and friends could have used more “time”.
In the “old days”, still in villages and other countries, many Dead are kept for a time in their home, so all who need can come, visit, honor them, and greet them for the last time. In Italy we keep them in the chapel for a while.
There is a little more “TIME” for the departure to be fully felt and understood from all who feel that is right for them to do. Time for prayers, for the psyche to adapt, for sorrow or gratitude to express and thereby heal, whether we believe or not in the “after Life”, or Death maybe was the best that could happen.
What to do, how to change, is it an issue? I do not know, but…
Generally we are robbed of TIME all around in our society.
And we need to take care , and not rob ourselves, or anybody else.
If “Effectiveness is the measure of Truth” (the Huna principles, Serge King) it is probably wiser and healthier to allow “TIME” ( for sorrow, in this case), than use lots of money AFTER to repair our Bodies and Souls, sick from repression and frustration.
Many many years ago, I was initiated to Reiki, and lately, cleaning up in old papers, I found these long gone but never really forgotten, Principles. I like to share them with You.
One may find them a banality, but they are not, and I suppose one can use the ones one needs, according to who one is. I believe it is ok with the Reiki movement to share them as they are to a broader public, maybe it even is good publicity :), so thanx for that, Reiki People!
JUST FOR TODAY, I WILL LET GO OF ANGER.
JUST FOR TODAY, I WILL LET GO OF WORRY.
JUST FOR TODAY, I WILL GIVE THANKS FOR MY MANY BLESSINGS.
JUST FOR TODAY, I WILL DO MY WORK HONESTLY.
JUST FOR TODAY, I WILL BE KIND TO MY NEIGHBOR AND EVERY LIVING THING.
My dear Helpers, they are wonderful and wise: some of the things they say to me for my clients, can be both so “simple”, good reminders, or/and completely new and unthinkable. I like to share this one piece of simple wisdom with you.
Some time ago, I had a Mother with three children, man, and own work: obviously a busy lady. She felt she had not much room left for her own development as a person and as a woman, and she missed it.
Plenty of good and realistic advise was given to her, but she still wondered on how to deal with the reasonable amount of everyday’s activity and work at home: cleaning, cooking, shopping, and all that, as her husband himself was dealing with difficult personal issues, and therefore could only help a little.
My Helpers made her notice that there were many potential ways to deal with things. They counseled her on creating a new form for discipline: PLAY THROUGH WORK, or WORK as PLAY.
Of course , she had to figure out how to do that. But the lady got enthusiastic, og ja! she could definitively figure that out! Previously, in the same session, Helpers had told her she needs to play: one more play!:) She understood, and she liked it!
So, some of us complain and work, some of us are work addicts, some of us meditate by working, and some of us CAN PLAY!
For inspiration, through me, to You. Thanx, dear Helpers.
I am who I am, my Heart is present and warm. My Being follows the Waves of Nature, of my Life, the thousand things one must do, and a little more. I retreat at times, often. I have many satisfactions, and many transformations, looking, looking for to Be, and to Become “quality”, Unity . To melt with Everything…to feel Spirit, Love and Compassion…
Pains and Doubt are there too, no superstar here, no fixed finished model, not all knowing. Maybe a little shy, a little quiet, certainly no media freak, no blasting and selling, no business lady…
In this period, according to the time of Nature, I am again and again looking deeper, opening the cuts of my Being and honestly trying to figure it out… much about Death, Death to the parts which do not serve me or anyone any longer. Deep deep Honesty, Sincerity, and Confessions. from me to me. Changes must be done, Movement necessary in some fields. Which means “available at times, not at all times”, but those “available” times are good and Fruitful! Because there is a Rhythm, there is a Breathe, and time to be still, rest and meditate.
Final recept for amazing Living? Total Happiness and Peace? I’ll explain it all, and change your Life forever, buy me buy me:)? No finished solutions by me yet, but support to become you, have a honest decent (and decent means good and straight) Life… I am good to give, and push others towards their Power, very good indeed…and in me there is lots of Wisdom, not because I call it, but because others do… And …No hiding here, no shit.
Why and to whom I am writing this to? To you who one day may read it…
Enough is enough…blah, blah, blah…
On the night of the Dead, I will drum to honor Ancestors and Beloved, and to help the Dead no one cares for , to move on… That starts now…
A lot of People are more aware about the values and great gifts of “our” Earth, “our” Water, “our” Air, and how to take care and respect them in this one Life we are living, and also for the future generations.
Consciousness is growing and growing, that is great! And improvements come.
Still sometimes it can be hard to talk about it without being looked at as a “judge”, as an “intruder” or a “missionary” when involved in “less conscious” People everyday choices.
We know the story: no one likes to be told what to do, or that we may be “wrong”.
And in any case everyone acts as they believe and please, and no one is “perfect” or “pure” (or maybe someone is).
There is a great saying “Shitting in our own pants”, and that describes very precisely, except the pants can be washed and our bodies too.
The other day I thought that polluting and misusing is like cleaning our kitchen table, and throwing the dirt on a floor we never clean. Dirt stays, but it is “down” instead of “up”, where we really do not notice it so much. But eventually the dirty floor can be cleaned too.
What we do to our Home, we do to ourselves.
The challenge with our Planet, our Water and our Air is that it all stays in, or around.
THERE IS NO “AWAY”!
Pollution will stay for many years, damage, maybe it will stay “forever”, or it will fuck up things so much that we got no idea of (excuse the expression).
This is so important, so definitive, and so scary…
I thought the words “There is NO AWAY” could be used as an inspiration, as they touched me when I heard it, many years ago, at a “green” conference. They should be written on the walls of our cities, and in our homes.
Good luck!:)
And thanks and blessings to the ones who try to walk towards Healing and Balance.
I was looking with clairvoyance at what she “especially needed right now” in order to keep her development “going”, she is a tough working, serious, disciplined, and wonderful lady!
My Helpers gave some messages, and one especially was a little surprising, and very natural and fit for her (and a few of us). I like to share it with you.
My Helpers said that BREAKS are utmost necessary, because they CONTAIN COSMOS.
Reflect upon this, and may it bring good breaks into your Life. 🙂
Some people have asked about how to do the FullMoon meditation for Earth Healing, when you have no experience (or little) of shamanism or healing. I may have written about it before, but not mind doing it again.
It is a relevant question, and thanks for asking. I tend to believe in the net days everybody knows about everything, but one thing is the anonymous plugging in somewhere, another asking directly, and getting the answer from someone you know, or you have some kind of contact with.
I will try to be, as usual, as little dogmatic, as “safe”, and as simple as possible.
There are million ways, of course, and I also believe an atheist can do, providing the interest.
Like for the Sweatlodge, and for other kinds of work, the main thing is the INTENTION (or wish to do some “good”), and some disciplined TIME you OFFER.
We could consider it like the BREATH PROCES, time to breathe in, time to hold a little, time to breathe out, and time to be empty.
GET READY in the way you feel most comfortable, find your good position, face the Moon.
BREATHE IN: use (if you have) any PREPARATION praxis, CLEANSING, and CONNECT to your CENTER (belly, root chakra).
CONNECT to your friends/teachers/trustworthy humans or spirit Beings, and to your own “Godlike essence” (big Mystery, the Unknown, Cosmic Space, Life or ?), and to the God essence outside of you (easier if we think them as two parts, maybe). If you do not know who what to connect to, just ASK FOR HELP.
THANK, and present your INTENTION (who, what would you like to pray for etc.)
BREATHE PAUSE: stay in the MoonLight, let it clean you, charge you, and bless you, be as empty as possible, RECEIVE.
BREATHE OUT: POUR YOUR PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS OUT to who/what you choose to help healing, ONE AT THE TIME: expressing LOUD AND SIMPLE is best, (I ask for Healing for…., I bless the Earth…)
If you got many people/things to pray for, have a LIST you can read, (but “little and strong” is “better” than “much and unfocused”, in my opinion).
You can have the LIST on paper in the MOONLIGHT, and /or BETWEEN YOUR HANDS.
SEND a feeling/thought of LOVE AND COMPASSION, SEND NOT YOUR OWN ENERGY (sending your own Energy may cause your Energy body to diminish/leak, that is one of the reasons we ask for help).
Should you feel very “involved or emotionally touched very deeply” by what/who you pray for it may be better and safer to send blessings: (for example ” I bless you child, and may you heal “, or “I bless whoever and whatever may contribute to Peace on Earth”, or “May the Earth be a peaceful place to be for us all” ).
BREATH PAUSE: CHOOSE A WAY TO END, THANK ALL FOR HELP, RELEASE HELPERS AND YOURSELF FROM DUTY, BACK TO your CENTER (body/belly center, body volume and weight).
STAY AND BREATHE for a while to “land good”, UNTIL YOU FEEL WHOLE AGAIN, feel how you feel, move slowly, and wake up at own rhythm.
… It may sound complicated, and it may need a little time to digest: the first times you may feel akward, but it will pass…
I hope I got you inspired: this is just one way of doing it.
Blessings on you, and thank you for being with at the FullMoon meditation! Both night before and on FullMoon night between 19 and 21, each month. 🙂
We survived, again, Wintertime, inside and outside.
Now contemplating Life appearing or reappearing…Resurrection!
New Creations are happening out there in Nature, new Babies (all kinds) are coming, waking up… Birds are “flirting”, and looking for material for their nests…
At times strong, at times quiet, great is the Power of the East, of new Beginnings, fruitful Fertility, Miracles.
Day and Night Balance, a split second and everything will explode in Growth. Sun stronger and stronger, Life stronger and stronger.
We reflect upon our Seeds,Thoughts, Feelings, and Deeds.
We shine up our Life by letting go of unneeded stuff, so we have room for Fresh Energy and Vision.
We discharge, recharge, and bless and pray. Refresh your home and yourself, give presents and donations, walk out, dance with your Friends and Helpers, observe and smell Flowers, hug your Relations, and… Have a lovely Spring celebration!
(Be with on 20/3 Equinox ceremony, or on “Clearing and Healing day”?)
I am often concerned and reflect about what I can give, and how.
Today, last of this year, I spent some time meditating on an alternative text for wishing my Friends and Clients a “happy new year”. Lost time and silly speculation? Maybe, but I do care, and messages have to be “sincere, good and clear” when one is me.
Considering all hundreds possibilities, I did come back to a simple one “Best 2018 to You, and big hug!”, and it probably will stay there, but let’s see.
All of a sudden an “idea” flashed: whether it is “bright”, or not, who can tell? Maybe someone gets inspired?
It is a small and humble project, yet fruitful. Here it comes.
Take it, change it, leave it, make it Yours, create Your own. Sure it has been done before, and it will be done after, but WHY NOT?
Determine first HOW LONG You would like to do it for. (You can anytime shorten or make the period longer).
Use ONE MINUTE EVERY DAY to send a HEALING THOUGHT (or PRAYER) to YOURSELF, and NEXT ONE MINUTE to send to SOMEONE ELSE, or the WORLD,(therefore the name One plus One).
Thoughts have to be expressed as “already being manifested” (as we all know), only with “positive statements”, (for example “I am healing”, or “I heal”, “the Earth is Peaceful”, or “there is Peace on Earth”.
Sounds too easy? Are You doing it already?
Every day two minutes many People TOGETHER makes many minutes of GOOD GOOD ENERGY in and around Us. And it helps for sure! 🙂
Align with the Nature of the Land you are living on, observe it, let it touch you, inspire you and guide you.
Winter is here now, the Power of the North manifests clearer and clearer.
Trees have lost their Leaves, most Green is gone. Energy going in, Beings withdraw…
Black and white, cold, naked, simple, clear, and dormant.
Once done what you need to do, go within for cleansing and selfreflection, quiet the Mind and the Body, observe and listen to yourself, to your Inner Voice. Be truthful about what you hear and see.
Be gentle, as the Darkness of the longest Night is caring and nourishing, it is the Womb from where we entered Life, it is Sacred, and so are you.
Thank for the Teachings of this year, bless People, Beings, All around you.
Forgive you, All around you, allow the Dark to absorb you.
In the longest Night lies the Seed of its Opposite, the Rebirth of the Light, and the promise of a new Beginning.
In our “faults and limitations” lies the Seed of Change, in our Humility, our Power.
The Sun will grow again from now, and so will our inner One.
Celebrate your accomplishments, sharpen your new Intent and Vision, and offer it to the Light. It will shine in/on you, and show you the way.
“For many years I lived feeling “wrong”, “forced” myself to be “social” at all times. I felt I needed peace, but did not think I deserved it, and thought that was egoistic, “wrong” and “unworthy”.
One day a friend proposed to do a test, I normally do not do these things, but on that day I did. The test was about performance, how and when one works best etc., a long and actually interesting and “serious” one.
At the end of course, the results: surprise, surprise, I was an INTROVERTED! I had always thought the opposite, but it never felt quite right.
What was I? What had I been?
I had never ever considered that an “explanation” could “help”, or that a definition, a name, a box, a label, could change anything at all!
I am not fond of “boxes”, but I did feel “released” somehow.
Some kind of “mistery” was dissolved, the “monster” was just that!
The “monster” was my pattern, and not me.
Since then, I could understand and accept myself a little more.
I am an introverted, I am true to myself , I may work on it, and change but .. I am alright! :)”
