With Appreciation, Do work

This Principle is often translated 'Do your Living Honestly' - I really like the original - with APPRECIATION, do work!

Right livelyhood ... daily focus on being/doing/ exampling the best that you can possibly be in whatever you are doing!

In a talk on finding yourself in a negative situation at work, Abraham suggests: "In fact, do your best to be unaware of the disharmony, because in actually being unaware of the disharmony, there will be no active Vibration of it present within you, and the Law of Attraction will then leave you out of any discordant rondevous.
"It may sound odd, but the fastest way to get to a new-and-improved situation is to make peace with your current situation. By making lists of the most positive aspects you can find about your current situation, you then release your resistance to the improvements that are waiting for you."

In her stories about Reiki, Takata shared that as she began teaching Reiki (in the late 30s), she wanted to initiate friends & family at no charge, but was discouraged from doing so by her teacher, Hayashi. She decided to go ahead with several initiations, but quickly found that her students (neighbors) didn't trust their own abilities, and wanted HER to do the healings!

How do you relate to this principle? Do you love what you do, in work & in life? Do you bring a sense of appreciation wherever you go? Do you thank those who serve you, & share smiles gladly?

With appreciation ...

    I love and appreciate what I do every day. I also smile at everyone I meet, even people who are driving in the opposite direction when we're in the car. Where we live it's really narrow country lanes, mostly only wide enough for one car at a time, so when we meet another car there's a lot of jostling to make space and the cars are really close together...which means I get to look the other drivers right in the eye close up. So I beam away at them. Sometimes they look really startled, perhaps it could be the quality of my grin, but mostly they smile back. I like to think I'm spreading a small bit of joy in the world :D thank you for such an uplifting post.

    I also love and appreciate all that I am and everything around me. It has helped me out in ways that I can't even begin to say. Good has been the perfect way to be. I try to have a positive attitude because negativity brings you down.
    Thanks so much for sharing this and have a great day!

Self Care Reiki style

Mrs Takata encouraged her students to practice  "Reiki for the self first! "  before treating others. She taught a simple self treatment pattern, and encouraged them to receive Reiki as well. When we're new students, we are excited and inspired to practice self Reiki daily, but as time passes, we may fall away. When's the last time you did a self-Reiki session, or received Reiki? Lineage head Phyllis Furomoto recommends receiving Reiki weekly throughout the year, and for a block of days each month...  Wow!  I receive regular bodywork sessions with a co-worker who is also a Reiki practitioner, but receiving a full Reiki session is rare.  I recently received an invitation to the #30daysofselfcarechallenge on Instagram, and immediately thought of Reiki!  I often practice self-Reiki when I awaken, as part of the Miracle Hour process: Silence (Self Reiki), Affirmation (Reiki principles), Visualization (M/E), Exercise (Qigong or a walk), Read (uplifting), and Scri

Everyday Reiki

The Reiki precepts begin kyo dake wa , just for today ... When we have Reiki, we can invite the energy to flow into our activities and interactions throughout the day.  While Takata awaited surgery in Dr Maeda's hospital in Tokyo, each of the meals prepared by the doctor's sister the dietician was blessed with Reiki : green tea, Rice, beans, steamed vegetables (especially carrots & beets), seaweed. As she learned Reiki herself, Mrs Takata blessed her own food and drink, and later recommended her students do the same. Teachers in many traditions suggest blessing what we ingest, it's something we do daily, and soon becomes second nature. We can also use Reiki around the home: set up an altar hold seeds or herbs a minute before we plant them bless a craft project we're working on sweep the floor play a musical instrument atune to objects as we decide whether to keep them, or pass them on In addition to doing sessions on ourselves, our pets and each other, we can use Re

Beginnings

A couple of weeks after meeting our Reiki Master, another student & I arrived at her home for our First Degree Reiki class. One of Analyse's Mastery students joined us as well, to participate & observe. We alternated between teachings, sharing stories & experiences, initiations & learning to give (& receive) treatments. Analyse described the initiations as 'clearing the pipes' for the energy to flow through us, unimpeded. 'Think of the water pipes in two houses, a 'city house' & a summer home. If you turn on the faucet at home, the water runs clearly, while those in a place that's rarely used my sputter a bit, & run a bit cloudy. BOTH pipes have corrosion, but you don't observe that as much in the pipes that are used regularly.  'It's the same with people - some people naturally allow energy to flow, others don't; but both have 'blocks' that restrict the flow. The initation 'clears the pipes' in
