Practical Spirituality - A Reiki Perspective 
For long it has been felt that not all of us who have Awakened have done so to become teachers on the big screen of our global spiritual awakening. For most of us, our Dharma, our nitch in the grid, is to be Peace-emitting elements in our surroundings. But just because you have Awakened and are beginning to get an understanding of the larger Cosmic picture, does not mean that we become devoid of our emotions because we are somehow elevated, or above it all. Far, far from it.
There is a HUGE cosmic movement - a TOTAL shake up of cosmic consciousness and we have been rocked to our core. It is believed that on the Astral Plane there was tremendous confusion as the victims were forced to deal with what had happened to them. Rest assured, there were legions from the Angelic Realm, as well as spirit guides, friends, and family who had previously passed over, all of whom were there to assist, help, comfort, and guide those who made their sudden transition. This work on the Astral Plane is going on now and will continue for some time. Like spirit activity around and near old battle fields, many of those Souls have not completely comprehended what happened to them and are lost in confusion, pulled this way and that by the psychic messages being pulsed out with every broken heart. This is truly an event of Biblical proportions.
So the question for those of us who have Awakened comes back to this, "What are we to do now? What to do?" It seems, that Reiki attracts people who are very empathetic. We feel deeply and are a little more sensitive to energies than most. That's part of what drew you to Reiki. This certainly is an honorable characteristic, but it can be a double edged sword. Our empathy can be at times overwhelming. Sometimes we see a picture, or hear a story, or just have a thought about what happened and start to well up inside. Wave after wave comes, and the mind begs to know what to do now. That's the question, what to do now?
* Remember to "ground" every day. It's a simple thing, so simple that it's easy to forget and not do it. Do spend a fair amount of time when teaching a Reiki class, talking about the value of grounding and how it enhances Reiki experience. When you ground, you are stopping for a moment and setting your intention to step into a sacred energetic space, setting aside whatever else was going on before you began your grounding. A little bit of grounding can go a very long way in keeping you in the moment.
* For those of us who have had Reiki II training, use your power and Long Distance symbols. As you tune in to find out what the latest news is, as you experience the reports, and the heartfelt interviews, extend your Ki to the hearts and souls of those you are hearing about or seeing. Use your Long Distance Reiki ability to soothe and comfort those who are dealing with the unspeakable. Aside from actually being in the muck, this is almost as hard as it gets for awakened souls. Rather than allowing yourself to be swept away by the emotion, send the incoming energy into a bowl of salt to be neutralized and then redirect that energy, along with your own Ki, back to the people you are seeing on the news. They WILL receive what you are sending them. They won't know where it came from, but it doesn't matter.
* If you have not had Reiki II training, now might be the time for a Reiki upgrade. In the mean time, hold those dealing with WTC in your heart and in your mind's eye, and surround them with Light and Love.
"You are in the room, to heal the room. You are in the space, to heal the space." By virtue of choosing to awaken, you have accepted the Cosmic responsibility of "being" a Peace Emitting Presence. There is a lot of upsetness right now, a lot of raw anger, and people who aren't able to control their anger and fear. NOW is the time Peace Emitting Presences everywhere we go. When you are around others or see others on the TV who are expressing their anger and fear, send them your highest and best thoughts. Surround them with you purest Loving energy. Speak softly and be kind to them and remember that they are lashing out because they are afraid. Again, use your Long Distance Reiki tools.
In a sense, having allowed Reiki into your life is not unlike joining the Reserves. You never know when you'll be pressed into service. Your awakening and your pull towards Reiki was no coincidence. You awakened, to help others awaken. You learned Reiki to help, assist, comfort, and soothe others.
* Do things so that you may have the experience of Joy. Be Kind. Be extra patient. Be extra loving to everyone. Remember, we are all family, even those who hate our way of life. In their hearts, they are afraid. It is essential to remember that. If you don't it's easy to fall into your own hatred and fear.
And remember to take care of yourself. If you are having feelings of anguish, let them wash through you. If you feel like crying, cry. Experience it... and let it go. Experience it... and let it go. Your faith and your focus has probably never been stretched like this before. Remember, "this" is part of why we are here.
As hard as this is, don't forget the old teaching, "And this too shall pass." It always does. If you don't like what's going on, just wait... it'll change... it always does. So, be patient. And along the way, especially in the next few weeks and months, do things for yourself to cause you to feel peace and joy. Doing things that bring you into that state of mind will go a long way to enabling you to be a beacon of Light
The World needs our Light now.
So, Be calm...
Be ever vigilant...
Pay attention...
Be Happy...
Reach up, and Remember...
Reach up, and Remember...
Reach up, and Remember...
