The first principle I wanted to meditate on for the Reiki challenge was, "Just for today, I will let go of anger." I sat for a little bit, said the principle to myself, and just listened. What I heard (paraphrasing a bit) was:
Do not be so quick to get angry. Everything happens for a reason, and when something doesn't go your way, there is a reason for that also.
Turn your anger into something productive/constructive. Use that energy for something positive.
When someone hurts or angers you, instead of lashing out, rectify the situation calmly. **Should add "if possible" here. If it can't be rectified, walking away is better than getting upset.**
Let go of the past. Those previous hurts do not define who you are, so why hold on them?
Whenever you get angry, ask yourself. "is this healthy?" If the answer is no, let it go.
I will update this as more things come to me, as I plan to keep this principle in mind for the rest of the day.

That's a great post!
ReplyDeleteMy 1st Principle was Be Grateful for Your Blessings:
After meditating on it for a while, I began to realize that blessings are MORE than just good health and having good friends and family. It's also the little things. I'm blessed that even though I do not have a permanent job I do have a temp. I know many people who can not even obtain THAT, for this I am grateful!
I'm blessed in that I have gotten the courage to make my website and it looks better than anything I could have imagined, I'm blessed because I have great friends that help promote my site. I'm truly grateful for that.
I'm blessed that I have 3 insane but loveable cockatiels at home. And no matter WHAT I do to them (like stuff them in a carrier so I can get their wings clipped) deep down they know mama loves them and they love me back. I'm grateful for being allowed to have them as my babies and have them cheer me up when I've had a really rough day at work.
There were many other things I was grateful for, the apartment in which we live in, the understanding of my family with Reiki and my Readings (they encourage it). I'm grateful to all my high school and college friends that think what I do really makes a difference and I'm sort of hero, when deep down inside I really don't think I'm a hero, I just do what I love to do and help others along the way.
I'm really grateful for my blog because it's helped open up my chakra in ways I couldn't have before, I'm also grateful that my blog is a tool to help others understand their gifts.
What it all boils down to is my MAIN sense of gratefulness, which is REIKI. I'm very grateful to all the lessons and experiences I have had thanks to Reiki, as it helped not only to develop my healing abilities but also to understand my other gifts that I have either long forgotten or were too afraid to use. I am blessed to have Reiki in my life!
And for all those reasons and more I am very grateful for ALL the blessings I was/will be given in my life! :)
