“Just for today I honor my parents , elders and all living things.”
What does this really mean?
The Reiki principles are spiritual ideals. By adopting these precepts you will add balance and substance to your life. It is important that you realise that you are not expected to live every moment of your life within the framework of these ideals.
As humans we are all imperfect, and that is why each principle begins with “Just for today.”
If you skip today, you can always begin again tomorrow. The more you work with the principles, the more you will condition yourself to adopt them as a way of life.
The law of karma states that what goes around comes around. Send out love and you will receive love back in return. Send out kindness and you will receive kindness. Send out healing and you receive healing. Send out positive thoughts and you will receive positive results.
Karma is a double edged sword. Send out negative thoughts and you will get negative results. Living within this precept will give you a happier and less stressful life full joy peace and love.
It is important to remember that the Reiki principles are only guides for a happier and more fulfilling life. They will surely transform your life.
Life tends to give us what we need, it may not be what we want but it will be what we need. Karmicly throughout our lives we receive what we need to grow and learn in this lifetime.
If we grasp these lessons and grow accordingly we will become spiritually enlightened. Instead of wasting your life complaining of the things that have happened to you, and the problems you face.
Step back for a moment on a regular basis and discover and appreciate the many blessings in your life.
Make a list of all your blessings. You will be amazed at how many wonderful things there are to give thanks for. Leave the materialistic things aside.
They are shallow and meaningless. Pay attention to, and focus on the things that are free and bring joy and humility to your life. For example, your mind, body, spirit, health, family, friends, flowers, trees, sea, sun, love, faith, knowledge, the countryside, animals, birds, etc., the list is endless.
I remember that my diary 2012, 2013 & 2014 was filled with gratitude statements everyday I have probably practiced gratitude as a habit since 10 years now. When I am stuck Im grateful . When I am in pain , I try and see the positive side of why this pain in the first place. I try to see the sunny side in everything.
When I appreciated the true wonders of life and let go of the materialistic needs ,I started to enjoy my life more.
Worry causes stress and anxiety leading to an imbalance of the mind body and spirit and blockage to the energy system.
The best way to overcome worry is to accept that all of us are faced with difficulties and setbacks in our lives. How we respond to them determines how we ultimately lead our lives.
If you choose to respond negatively by getting upset and anxious towards one of life’s setbacks you have chosen to damage the balance of your mind body and spirit.
If you respond positively by accepting the setback as an opportunity to learn you can live a happier and more fulfilling life.
Today I want to talk about why Anger management forms one of the key principles in Reiki .
Anger is an emotion. (Energy in Motion)
When we get angry we lose control of that emotion. In order to live by the above principle we must understand what triggers our anger and how we can choose to remove this destructive emotion from our being. In every confrontation that leads to anger the person or thing pushing your anger trigger has complete power and control over you.
Anger and frustration would result in energy depletion around t he solar plexus and Urinogenital areas or may manifest as energy congest ion around the Solar plexu s and heart areas .
In the first case , it manifests itself as stomach indigestion or loose bowel movement. In the long run, it may manifest itself as ulcers or as gall bladder problem.

In the second case, it may manifest itself as heart enlargement or ot her heart problems . It seems that a certain type of negative emotion may manifest as a certain type of disease in one patient but may manifest as another type of disease in another patient.
There is an exchange of energy between people.If you are both happy & find the meeting was enjoyable then the energy exchange is neutral. However, if you lose control of your emotions and become angry, the other person steals your energy.
Likewise, if someone gets angry at you then you are stealing their energy. With this, you can counter endless situations or people that in the past have triggered your anger and caused you to react in an unhealthy manner.
Next time someone honks their car horn at you or criticises you for no apparent reason smile and say to yourself “I am not going to let you steal my energy.”
How to release and surrender your anger and anxiety?
There are many ways to release and surrender your emotions .You can contact me for an Angel therapy reading or Chakra therapy .I also conduct workshops and aura + crystal grid channeling to help release your anger and restore your chakras to balance.Even Meditation can help you calm your anger or emotions.
“Just for today I will earn my living with honesty”
What does this really mean?
My career reinvention success factor keeps revolving around being my most or best authentic self !
By adopting these concepts you will not only add balance but also life giving force energy back to yourself.
Each Reiki principle begins with “Just for today.”
Honesty means different things to different people. Many people feel it is fine to take home a few pens from the office, the company turn over millions in profit each year so they can afford to lose a few items of stationery.
While another person will judge the same incident as an act of theft and believe that anyone found stealing stationery should be dismissed and charged with theft and even prosecuted.
Everyone at some point is dishonest. You may not steal from another person or company, but instead steal from yourself.
For example if you a have a talent to help people and you choose not to then you are stealing from yourself by denying your gift.
You are also stealing from the people who could benefit from your talents. I wasting my time on meaningless pursuits such as watching television for hours each day and that was stealing from my sacred and special time on Earth.
Try to live your life to the best of your ability as authentically and honestly as you can. Honesty lives inside of you and doesn’t care about being placed where others can view it.
Finally, in your pursuit of a happier life I urge you to encapsulate the words from Michael Landon (the father in the television series “Little house on the Prairie”) in his last interview before he died prematurely of cancer. He urged us to “Live Every Second”.
Optimism…itís a four syllable word that can be harder to find than diamonds in South Africa. But believe it or not, you too can tap into the earth of your surroundings and dig up a rich store of feel-good.

My husband mind state very neutral in his reaction at times.He cannot find positivity nor negativity in any circumstances.But he is highly driven by his emotions -his triggers come from either someone dishonoring his value system or his ethics or morality. So he often tells me that I seem to look at every situation – however grave they are – I generally bring out positivity in a manner of reflections and arrive at some conclusions and move ahead with optimism. So , like him , there would be many of you who would be seeking answers or ideas to find optimism in circumstances where you need hope and faith .
Here are a few ways to do that.
1: Find laughter.
Dora and her pets drawing
These days, it isn’t hard to find. With Youtube and social media, there is not shortage of memes, videos, vines, and more to get you crackalackin. You could also rent a funny movie, watch stand up comedy, or hangout with funny people. Laughter will lead you to smiling, and smiling will lead you to feeling good. Which brings us to our next point.
2: Turn the frown upside down.
Source : Internet
It is hard to believe that something as smiling can improve your mood, but studies have linked outward acts of happiness to an internal shift. Practice by looking in the mirror and smiling, even it if feels cheesy, stupid, and inauthentic. Hold your smile for a minute, two minutes, five minutes…see how long you can go. Start the day off with a smile, and make a conscious effort to smile more.
3: Use positive words.
Studies have shown and confirmed what spiritual traditions have long held regarding the power of the tongue: words can literally shape the reality around us. If you want to build a more positive vibe, try using more positive words. Eliminate negative talk about yourself, and others as well.
4: Find positive people.

The impact of those we hang out with is enormous. Avoid negative influences and people who bring your down with complaining and criticism. Misery loves company, the old adage goes, and these people will quickly bring you into a downward spiral. Find friends who are upbeat, positive, and happy, and their resilience and optimism will pass on to you.
5: Stay healthy.
Aura Photography
If you’re feeling tired and sick, it is easy to get irritable and negative. By contrast, try maintaining an active lifestyle of healthy choices that can maximize your energy levels and build you up. It is easier to be upbeat and happy when you feel good inside and out.
6: Get spiritual and/or actualized.
Most spiritual traditions promote a positive outlook on life. If you’re not so into organized religion, find something that can provide a positive outlet for you, like exercise, music, art, or reading. Just like using positive words can turn our perspective around, filling our hearts and minds with good stuff will help optimism come easier.
Sacral Chakra, or Second Chakra is located below the naval and above the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. It controls the flow of energy and is the center of gravity of the body.
It is the center of the Life Force of the body. It is the reservoir of the life force and all life flows out from the sacral chakra. It controls the flow of information from the body to the mind and from the mind to the body. Gut feelings, intuition, and other “non-linear” communication comes from this chakra.
When it is out of balance the symptoms will manifest themselves as confusion, over dependency on others, repression of feelings, inability to feel joy, fear of sensuality or sex, and frustration and bitterness.
When it is in balance you have grace, feel pleasure in life, enjoy yourself, play, and find you are flexible in both body and mind.
You can “go with the flow” of your life and times, and do so in good spirits.
Treat imbalance with orange or gold crystals to unblock the energy flow and restore your sense of balance and understanding and appreciation of your place in life.
Augment the crystal therapy with yoga exercises that emphasise balance. Engage in creative activities, such as painting, writing, composing, and acting to free up the creative energy, and of course, nothing will help as much as getting out on flowing water and reconnecting with the flow of nature.
Crystal Chakra Photography : Coral and Carnelian are good for root and sacral chakra
Chakra healing card
CARNELIAN. Carnelian is a stabilizing crystal, perfect for anchoring in the present. Its high energy helps restore lost vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity for new pursuits. It improves concentration and removes extraneous thoughts in daydreamers, and during meditation. This stone also protects against envy, rage, and resentment – yours, or from others, and encourages a love of life. It is useful for overcoming abuse of any kind, helping you to trust yourself and your perceptions.
SUNSTONE. Sunstone is highly effective in cleansing the aura and chakras, and for removing hooks from possessive loved ones, lovers, or anyone draining of your energies. Sunstone surrounds these hooks with love and positive energy, and returns them to the source. It is especially beneficial when ties need to be cut, or if you have difficulty saying “No.”
GOLDSTONE. Although Goldstone is a manmade stone of glass, it contains flecks of copper which give it that shimmering effect and give the stone a lot of metaphysical properties. It is an excellent conductor of energy. It helps balances chakras and connect well with the higher realm. Goldstone is a primary talisman of trust and cheerfulness.
MOONSTONE. Moonstone opens the heart to nurturing qualities as well as assisting in the acceptance of love. It is an excellent crystal for first or new love, and is a comforting talisman if love must be kept a secret. It was also believed to be able to reunite loved ones who had parted in anger. Moonstone bestows a depth of feeling, a gentleness within the self that brings happiness to the environment in which it resides. Associated with the feminine, it enhances the intuitive side of the mind.
QUARTZ. Clear Quartz crystals are the supreme gift of Mother Earth. Resonating at the level of an individual’s needs, Clear Quartz also amplifies whatever energy or intent is programmed into it, and continues to broadcast that energy throughout the world and into the etheric realms.
This may accelerate the fulfilment of one’s prayers, intensify healing or spiritual growth, or simply allow the crystal to hold a pattern of energy long enough and strongly enough for the manifestation of a goal to occur.
Let me know if these resources helped open up your sacral chakra?
Mandala is a Sanskrit word that loosely translates to mean “circle” or “center.”
We often associate the word mandala with the circular designs that have repeating colors, shapes, and patterns radiating from the center. Mandalas can be precise, carefully measured, geometric, and perfectly symmetrical, or in contrast, free flowing, organic, and asymmetrical. Mandalas are often drawn in circles but they can also be drawn in squares.
Hindu and Buddhist Traditions
In the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, mandalas are an object of meditation to aid in one’s spiritual development. The imagery depicts the universe and the symbols represent one’s spiritual journey, the cycles of birth-life-death, and the interconnectedness of all living things.
The Hindu tradition focuses on the realization of the self as one with the divine. Whereas in the Buddhist tradition, the emphasis is on the potential for enlightenment (Buddha-nature) and the pictures within the mandalas illustrate the obstacles that one has to overcome in order to cultivate compassion and wisdom. Drawing mandalas in this tradition follows strict rules.
Mandalas help you to reconnect to your nature and the earth & cosmic nature. Perhaps the most important thing is that mandalas are a communication vehicle or tool for connecting to GOD,your higher self or your inner voice or the source-in other words that which is greater than yourself.
Several people use mandalas for meditation and contemplation , others use them for therapy and healing. Some people color in mandalas in order to feel relaxed and centre themselves and bring order within the chaos.
Mandala art for therapy and healing
Carl Jung – The renowned swiss psychologist extensively used mandalas with his patients,who would create them as a means to connect with their subconscious , enabling them to work through their issues. For a period , Jung created a mandala every day – an activity that he credits with his personal transformation and healing. Many psychologists like me and therapists in cancer centres today use mandalas as preventive healthcare and form of palliative therapy.

Dealing with pain
Pain is a signal that something is out of balance in your body. It results from an excess of energy, a blockage or debility, as well as injury or insult to the body. A cool and calming crystal such as Lapis Lazuli or Rose Quartz sedates energy, whereas a stimulating one such as Carnelian or Red Jasper brings about a fast release but can instigate a healing challenge. In a healing challenge, symptoms may be exacerbated before they get better.
