At the time of each New Year,
we often review the many aspects of our life. It is not
uncommon that we re-evaluate all the relationships in our
life and determine which ones are healthy and which ones
are not. Your work, personal life and your relationships
have much to teach you about yourself.
As we progress on our journey
through life, many opportunities are presented to develop
relationships with other people. When we are small children,
we form our relationship with ourself, our parents, siblings
and other family members. When we go to school we add our
friends, peers, and teachers to our lives. As young adults,
romantic relationships often become the focus. If we choose
to marry, or otherwise commit ourselves to another person,
the romantic relationship brings us almost back to the beginning,
as we now have new family members and friends to relate
with.
Reiki is a very effective tool
to assist in creating and nurturing successful relationships
in your life. The first step is to recognize that each relationship
is a living creation. It is a special blend of energies
between people. Once you recognize the relationship as a
life form, it becomes much easier to detach your thoughts
and emotions and be able to serve as a channel of healing
energy which is directed to the relationship. When there is an imbalance in
a relationship, it is very often rooted in power issues,
and/or fear.
The first step in healing a relationship with
Reiki is to identify the areas of weakness or imbalance.
It is often helpful to select an object, which can physically
represent the relationship. Items like pictures, crystals,
or gifts the parties have given to each other can serve
very effectively for this purpose. The purpose of selecting an object
is to more clearly focus the healing energy when you are
working on the relationship, and to give you a point of
reference to visualize when conflicts arise. For example
you may wish to select a quartz cluster to represent your
family relationship with your parents, or a tantric twin
crystal for a life partner. By selecting the object to use
in your meditations and healing work, you can bring the
energy of it to you through visualization by simply thinking
of the object.
Often there are weaknesses in
relationships that produce symptoms which are very much
on the surface, and only glimpses of the real issues. As
The Course in Miracles teaches us; "I am never angry
for the reason I think I am." We attract relationships
into our lives to assist with our growth. A very common
way this happens is for a person who faces lessons of power
and control to select a relationship with either a very
controlling, or a very docile person. Learning to bring
this energy into balance is vital for the relationship to
survive, or to transform peacefully.
To determine the issues in your
relationship which need healing, select the object which
represents the relationship. Find a special place to keep
it, an altar, a table or shelf, where you can keep other
items away from it so the energy field is not disrupted.
If you want to carry your object with you keep it in a special
carrying case, or perhaps a scarf. Find a quiet time and place where
you will not be interrupted by the telephone, or other people.
Sit or stand before the object in a comfortable position,
and create a prayer of intent. Something like;
"Creator, Infinite Spirit,
Mother Father God, I give thanks for the presence of the
Angels and Archangels of Healing, my highest Reiki guides
and forces, and the purest and most holy spiritual guides.
I ask that these energies gather with me at this time for
the purpose of healing the relationship of (name all parties
involved). I ask that I be guided to determine the imbalances
in the relationship, and that the lessons needed be made
clear so all concerned may grow with Divine Love. Thank
you for this guidance. Amen."
Then draw all the Reiki symbols
you are attuned to over the object, and invoke the sacred
name of each symbol three times as you draw them. (If you
are a Reiki I practitioner do this without the symbols)
Then draw the symbols on your palms, crown, third eye, throat
and heart chakras. When this process is complete ask the
Reiki energy to flow fully and completely through you for
the purpose of clarity and healing this relationship. Let
the energy flow as long as you feel it.
The first time you
empower the object it is good to try to allow at least 30
minutes for this work. Subsequent work can be accomplished
sometimes in 5 minutes, but at least 15 is even better. When you feel the process is
complete seal it in Divine Love using your Usui Reiki power
symbol. It is very important to then acknowledge the healing
that has taken place by giving thanks to all the angels
and beings of light who have assisted you, and send Reiki
back to them in appreciation. This helps balance the energies
between you and your guides, and to create a acknowledgment
within your entire spiritual, mental, emotional and physical
being that your prayer has been answered and the healing
has taken place. This signals to your mental and emotional
being to be aware on the conscious level that when issues
present themselves in the relationship, they are being offered
as opportunities to heal.
As each and every issue comes
up ask why it has been presented to you, what is the source
of your discomfort with it, and how can you perceive it
in a positive light? You will be presented with the
answers in many forms, so be open and aware. God speaks
to us in infinite ways. Often problems in relationships
are simply related to the perspective in which we see things.
We each live in our own perception of reality, based on
our experiences.
When we can step into another's perception
and see the situation through their eyes, based on knowledge
of their experiences, it is much easier to understand one
another. When we understand someone, we no longer fear,
we have more compassion and our relationship heals. Remember, Reiki always produces
results on some level, and no prayer goes unanswered.
I wish you joyous, healthy, loving
relationships.
