As a Reiki Master I look for ways to help all my clients to regain balance in this world of technology and distraction. My desire is to help everyone find a deeper connection to their hearts and create presence by living in the moment. Buddhist mindfulness is an understanding that being present in each moment allows for us to find peace and happiness. This mindfulness is cultivated through meditation practices, to observe one’s thoughts, emotions and sensations without judgement.
Many of us want to be more present in the day to day but, it can be difficult when our lives are inundated with constant distractions. Often what many of us do in the morning is check our phones, see what is happening in the news, look at social media and try to figure out how to proceed with our day. We can get overwhelmed and anxiety ensues not knowing what to do to feel better. Our lives can start to feel unmanageable if we don’t know how to stay grounded and present. Having a mindfulness practice is a way to come back to presence and to live our authentic selves.
How can one start a mindfulness practice with Reiki?
Awareness is the first step. Realizing that you can have the opportunity to learn how to practice being present in your life. I offer Reiki healing as a great place to discover what it feels like to relax into a deep meditative state during a Reiki session to begin the journey.
Support can come from the wonderful benefits of Reiki healing energy. In my Reiki sessions I teach a breath meditation of bringing the mind, heart and body together. This allows one to settle in the the present moment. Reiki healing helps us to feel safe in the present which allows for a deeper appreciation of life as it is experienced in the now.
Self empowerment comes from being present within ourselves. Reiki healing allows one to slow the mind, connect to your heart and have more body awareness to become grounded. When you are more present this way, you can begin to tap into your intuitive wisdom to help you move forward with more clarity in your life.
Courage is making a choice to try something new. To change your daily habits so that you take new actions. In my Reiki practice I help those that are interested find a 15 minute mindfulness practice to start your day. There are many types of meditations, some ways I offer are the breath meditation I teach, self love journal writing, walking in nature with intention, guided visualizations, walking meditation practice and meditation with prayer or intention.
My clients that have chosen a mindfulness practice to explore at home have been very appreciative of how their lives have changed with my help. They find themselves spending less time on social media and news feeds and feeling more in their personal power. They have shared feeling calmer throughout their day and having more presence and clarity in their lives.
