Dear Friends,
We all have listened to terms like “evil” and “weapons of
mass-destruction” every time we turn on our TV set over the last twelve
months. From an esoteric stand point I asked myself: what are the real powers
and what do they destroy? In the traditional Buddhist Teaching the true powers
are compassion, kindness and unconditional love. They are the antidotes to hatred,
greed, impatience, anger, to name a few. This kind of power is not manufactured
with billions of dollars but rather with a conscious and awakened mind, with
a daily commitment and effort on every level, no matter how small. Practice
is the key. And life’s challenges provides us with ample opportunities
every day, at work, with our families, at the grocery store, or driving in rush
hour traffic.
Most of us have a tendency to take everything that’s happening too personally.
If we could distance ourselves and avoid placing judgments on others (and on
ourselves) we might find a space within that would permit us to feel sympathy
for every misguided or otherwise suffering person. Evolution is a very long
and slow process.
Reiki has given me the tool to feel safe everywhere I go in the world. It is
with me always. Even in bad dreams I find myself placing my hands on my stomach
and everything is all right. Reiki gives me leverage. I can send healing with
the reiki symbols around the world, to the cruel and heartless men in governments
here and in foreign countries, to the victims of crimes and disasters, alleviating
that feeling of helplessness. Reiki heals not only the body but can also be
directed into the past and the future, to any living being and thing, to heal
events and relationships. It has been an interesting journey for me since I
first took my Reiki class and I feel a deep gratitude to all the people who
helped me on my reiki path of becoming - my teacher, clients, students and everybody
else who taught me that human life is beautiful and a rare gift in the chain
of evolution.
With Love,
Karuna
