Although we don’t have any snow in Wanstead (yet!) it was -4 this morning when I went out to the lake, so it was definitely a day to don my Damarts.
I first started going to the lake when I had a dog. The dog would roam around and go for a swim while I stood, or sat, and used the Reiki distant healing symbol to send Reiki to people who’d asked to be included on my list. Sadly, we haven’t had a dog for 10 years now but I still go to the lake to meditate and send Reiki to those who are ill or suffering physical or emotional pain.
All forms of energy healing require the person’s consent, however I am often asked to include people’s family or friends so I always start with the following:
Send healing to the following people. If they have not given their direct consent, send it to their higher selves to decide when and how best to dispense it for their, and the Universe’s, highest good.
It’s wonderful to spend time immersed in nature: it grounds me and I feel ready to face the day when I’ve been to the lake. Today I watched a fox trot across the frozen lake, a flock of brightly coloured parakeets swoop by and a brazen little robin come right up to me as I sat on the bank.
Of course, being mindful of the beauty of nature is one thing but it’s also important to be mindful about what we’re doing with our bodies – as I discovered when I came a cropper on a frozen puddle!
Thankfully, I have well padded glutes, so the only damage was to my pride!
