The purpose of offering Heart and Soul Reiki is not, however, to enter into a
philosophical or theological debate. There are others, much more gifted than me,
who can take you in that direction.
I want to depart from definitions and concentrate more on understanding. We each
know what we mean by heart and soul, even if it difficult to express these words
more exactly.
If your heart is in it, but there still seems to be a block, it may be a deeper matter.
It may your self confidence or self esteem. It may be that little voice from the
past telling you all the things you cannot do. Now is the time to release whoever
first imposed these limitations on you. Let them go, with your blessing. People do
the best they can and whether it was parent, teacher or other authority figure,
they almost certainly believed they were doing the right thing at the time or
perhaps they were just having a bad day. You do not have to bear them an ongoing
grudge but neither do you need to keep buying into what they said.
One of the most important factors the great world religions share is the worth of
the individual. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, Gods people are the apple of his
eye. In the Christian tradition, even the hairs of our head are numbered.
Now, go back in time to something that you
know you put your heart and soul into in the
past. It need not be earth shattering, but
it was important to you at the time. Go
back into these feelings and re-experience
them. Then see, in your minds eye, a small
speck on the horizon. It is gradually moving
nearer. It looks like a golden cloak. It
comes nearer and gentle wraps itself round
you. The sensation is very pleasant and
comforting, like a warm blanket. You feel
the reviving power and your enthusiasm
begins to rise.
Stay in that place for as long as you want, then thank the cloak for the power and
comfort it has brought. The cloak will gently leave and disappear behind you.
For some people, receiving Level 1 is all that is required.
