Reiki Training Tips for After Your First Degree Attunement ~

#1 Begin with Self-healing.

Great benefits await those who utilize Reiki self treatments in their regular self-care routine. Daily treatments (anywhere between 5 – 25 minutes) are ideal, especially for those who may be experiencing toxic overload, burnout or high stress. During a treatment, Reiki has its own innate intelligence and will go where it’s needed.

#2 Be Open to Receive Healing and Proper Instruction.

Those who have been properly Attuned to the First Degree of Reiki Basic Training have a Reiki Guide who is there to help you learn how to use Reiki for yourself using your unique gifts and talents.

#3 Remember to Ask for Help.

I think the saying is, “riding on the wings of angels” and that’s just what we’re doing when we get our first Attunement and allow ourselves to accept help from our Reiki Guides and Teachers. 

It’s a good idea to regularly ask for help from enlightened beings and you can easily do that with #17 Divine Grace from Soul Prayer Charts.

Remember that Angels and your Reiki Guides respect your free will and will not ever try to force you into anything! Therefore, if you want their help, ask for it.

#4 Make a Commitment to Developing Your Highest Good.

What might be possible if you were to make a new agreement with your Higher Self that you are ready, willing and able to receive genuine help and support in accordance with your highest good? I suggest that your agreement include being respectful in your requests and appreciative towards those who help you.

Old Soul

Most importantly, make a Soul Contract with yourself to be kind and patient with yourself and to get more comfortable about asking for genuine help as you continue your Reiki journey. Would you be willing to sign your name to a contract like that?

#5 Remember to Follow Your Soul’s Intention.

The Intuitive Learning Circles have been developed by Rheanni Lightwater through Reiki to assist in the basic training and effective transmission of Reiki energy for self-healing and to others through distant healing. They can be especially helpful in clearing away those blockages to intentions and trusting your inner guidance.

Emulate the gentle and patient Tree Sloth. Slow down and gaze softly at her Circle and ask yourself:

Nourishing Personal Responsibility

Intuitive Reading from the I Ching or Book of Change – Nourishing Personal Responsibility.

Rheanni Lightwater - Navigate Confusion
Rheanni Lightwater, Reiki Master Teacher & Feng Shui Consultant

In this intuitive reading, Soul Resources offers a variety of SOS formulas and Transformation Games using the Intuitive Learning Circles and the I Ching for nourishing personal responsibility as we move into Spring, 2024. 

The I Ching 

I Ching Workbook - R. L. WingThe original intent of the I Ching was based on an Eastern philosophy of observation and marking changes in natural and human events. Through many centuries and contributions from shamans and master teachers, including Lau Tzu and Confucius, the Book of Change was developed into a full philosophy for applying beneficial human conduct to varying circumstances. The Art of Feng Shui is part of that philosophy.

Understanding the Larger Picture

Changes in your environment have been very unstable and will continue to aggravate a volatile social and political environment. Many influences are swirling together making this a chaotic time, driven by conscious fears, misperceptions and karmic consequences rising up to the surface. Unconscious karma is often the cause of problems that keep returning and repeatedly throw people out of balance. If you’re wise, you’ll slow down and take a closer look at experiences that feel oh, so familiar.

Truth Mandala Todays Intuitive Reading

“The Truth has no Master and is indebted to none.
Therein lies its power to set us free.”

The reasons why things haven’t been going well are already making themselves known. Those who double down on resisting the Truth will likely experience a level of karmic backlash which could be quite painful. The good news is, if you’re willing to slow down, pay attention and make appropriate corrections, you’ll find amazing opportunities to correct your karma. There are opportunities to set things right that have been amiss for a very long time.

♦ Poor communication is at the core of many of our difficulties. Using the I Ching flow of MODERATION will help turn things around.

The I Ching

Navigate Volatility through MODERATION

The I Ching energy has been traveling in a multiple highway pattern for some time and it’s likely to remain that way for much of the next year.

Todays Intuitive Reading - ModerationWhenever that happens, it’s best to find the flow of Hexagram #15 MODERATION or “the Middle Road” to help you keep your balance. The original text offers some specific advice to follow:

“This is a good time to bring some equilibrium to your more personal relationships. Examine your deepest feelings and see if you are harboring any extremes in your expectations or selfish desires in your motivations. Try to moderate any unrealistic ideals.”  ~ Hexagram #15 MODERATION, The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing

 

The Chinese Zodiac

We have fully transitioned into the Year of the Dragon on February 10th, 2024, which is a very popular archetypal energy.

Todays Intuitive Reading - The Year of the DragonThe positive qualities of Dragon are: Energetic, Confident. Ambitious. Intelligent. Generous. However, the negative qualities can also be: Unstable. Intolerant. Lack of persistence. Unrealistic.

Complimentary Zodiac Signs are Monkey and Rat.

The Dragon’s Secret Friend is Rooster.

His energy goes decidedly against Dog.

If you’re having trouble getting in sync with this energy and staying that way,  use this Transformation Game to adapt to the Year of the Dragon.

If you keep finding yourself in the middle of chaos, this Mind Exercise will help you Develop Precognition to Stay Out of Trouble. 

The Tarot

The Tarot Major Arcana Card for 2024 is # VIII: Strength (2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 8)

The basic meanings for the Strength card are Power. Action. Courage. Commitment and Magnanimity. The number 8 is the infinity symbol upright.

Subconsciousness is the Woman in this card and the image suggests that she has the Lion in complete control. This card conveys the potential for an expansion of consciousness that makes for greater control over our instinctual animal natures.

However, in reverse it can mean: Abuse of power. Despotism. Weakness or Discord.


In some Tarot decks, Justice is the number 11 and in others it’s the number 8.

The meanings for the Justice card are: Equity, Karma. Balance. Discernment. Descrimination. Illumination of truths.

Reversed: Imbalance. Bigotry. Bias. Prejudice. Excessive severity.

Needless to say, the playing out of Karma and karmic law is front and center in many people’s minds during this election year. The potential for anything to happen is possible. For a more positive outcome, the archetypal energy of Justice will need to be activated through a willingness to pierce through the darkness of denial and ignorance. Do we have the ability to do that? Are we willing?

That brings us back to the primary Tarot energy for the year –  Strength

Strength often represents the great cosmic force in the human organism called kundalini. Whenever working with the instinctual forces of nature, one must be careful and patient, otherwise things can go wildly out of control.

The key to awakening the power safely is to learn how to control your body, your mind and your emotions. The same is true for how you can effectively navigate the volatile energies that will rise and fall unexpectedly.

Slowing down, centering yourself and learning how to stay balanced in difficult situations are the most important skills to master.

Clearing an Overwhelmed Mind

If you need help clearing an overwhelmed mind, the Intuitive Learning Circle offers quick and easy support.

Directions: Confirm this is the best formula for you with the SOS Symbol.

SOS - Clearing An Overwhelmed MindFind a quiet place if possible, where you won’t be disturbed for about twenty minutes. Begin by reading the first message and then gaze gently at the Circle or chart that goes with it for approximately two minutes. A longer or shorter time may be necessary. Let yourself breathe and relax as much as possible. Don’t worry if the images move around or change in any way. That just means the Circles are working and that your mind and body are coming into balance.

Some emotions might come up as well. That also means the Circles are working. Just give yourself permission to let go of anything that’s causing you pain or suffering.

Mind Body Integration

Four Seasons

Staying in Sync  with the Four Seasons ~

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:

Four Seasons from Gifts from the Rainforest46. The Four Seasons – Each season reminds us to follow the natural cycles of life. Staying in sync with them brings harmony to body, mind and spirit.

Are you out of sync?

Are you worrying about the future or stuck in the past?

What would help you remedy that so you can enjoy being in the present?

Healing Action: Bring yourself into the present by becoming aware of your body and your environment. Come back into alignment with the natural cycles of Life.


The Circle of Life

All of life follows a natural cycle of
birth, growth, decay and regeneration.
However, the ego becomes impatient and
wants to see immediate results.
It longs for the green of summer all year long.
The creatures of the rainforest
laugh because they know this is folly.
The plants cry because they know
the danger in this kind of thinking.
Allow the seasons to teach you
how to reconnect to the joy and fulfillment
that is available in each moment.
There is no time but now.
Bring yourself into harmony with what is.

 


Mind Body IntegrationMind Body Integration

Further Exploration into the Healing Circle of the Four Seasons:

Four Seasons

This Circle of Life beckons you to step into the simplicity of being here now. The small mind thinks that doing so would be too difficult. Why is that?

Perhaps it fears the loss of control that comes with being open and receptive. After all, birth, death and rebirth seem like scary things, yet if we cling to these fears, we will never taste the sweetness of life. 

A fearful mind organizes itself around dissatisfaction and all the reasons why things couldn’t possibly work out. It loves to fixate on all the reasons not to do something rather than the benefits that could be reaped from moving forward. The fear of approaching winter causes it to hoard. It idealizes the birth of spring and yet resists the change that’s required. It makes up stories about how things would be so much better if others just conformed to its way of doing things. It likes to take snapshots. It doesn’t like the chaos of change.

We could be much happier if we would relax and organize around the natural circle of life that accepts change and goes with it. Watch how the plants and animals handle this and you will come to understand that you can never go back to the way you were yesterday. By the same token, you can never know exactly what the future holds. 

The Circle itself can help you know whether or not your environment needs to adapt though a good feng shui treatment or space clearing. Just contemplate the environment you’re concerned about and gaze softly into the Circle. When you’re ready, ask: ”Is the layout and flow in my environment in sync with Nature or out of sync? If it’s not, what might help?”

Life is best experienced in the present. Accept that you and your environment are constantly changing.

Monkey Medicine

Casting Stones of Forgiveness with Monkey Medicine

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest

Monkey Medicine from Gifts from the Rainforest

#28 Monkey – Monkey offers an opportunity to respond differently in the face of cruelty, shame or blame. Learn how to use your energy more wisely. Life has so much more to offer!

Are you spending too much time fighting and finding fault with others? 

Is your life too hard? If so, what would you rather be doing?

Healing Action: Identify if you’re involved in harmful group think, curses, grudges or bad attitudes. Repairing the damage done begins by forgiving yourself first.


Angry Monkey

The angry mind is like an angry monkey.
It swings wildly from one tree to another,
casting coconuts and squealing curses at the top of its lungs.
The monkey-mind eagerly casts insults and stones
on friends and enemies alike whenever it feels threatened.
It has no thought about what consequences have been put into motion.
Vigilantly monitor your monkey mind.
How is it feeding you with poison?
Learn to deflect ill will from others by refusing to take their threats personally.
Their curses are merely a reflection of how they feel about themselves.
Cultivate humility when you think ill of others.
Your curses are merely a reflection of how you feel about yourself.
Approach it with compassion, and nourish it
with the milk of human kindness.
Forgiveness begins within.

Further Exploration into Monkey Medicine:

Monkey Medicine

Monkey medicine speaks of the need to clear your mind of preconceived ideas and concepts that have been cursing your attempts to be peaceful and happy. Somehow, an angry mind is dominating the situation.

As you gaze at the Circle, relax and ask your Soul: “Am I mad at myself? Is someone else mad at me? What am I afraid of?”

Monkey is showing us that within every stone that’s cast against another is an opportunity to learn and respond differently. Redeem yourself first and a path will open that leads to forgiving others. Take that opportunity and your life will change forever.

It could be that you’re being a projection to someone because they’re seeing something in you that they don’t like about themselves. On the other hand, you may feel like others are throwing accusations or ridicule at you simply because that’s what you expect them to do.

Don’t fall for such wasteful mental activity! Look deeper into your own insecurities. This may seem unpleasant at first, but there’s a gift waiting for you if you’re willing to get to the bottom of this predicament. Usually it involves letting go of an old way of thinking about yourself and the world.

The monkey may also be exposing a collective illusion that’s been bedeviling you in this situation. See it for what it is. Break the spell that keeps you from being who you truly are in the face of destructive groupthink. Once you can transcend the lie that’s being told, a passageway that has previously been blocked will be ready for you to step through.

Gently coax your monkey mind out of the dark undergrowth of fear and resentment. Bring it into the light of day. Using Love and Forgiveness, encourage it to swing freely through the trees until it can travel to the very highest regions of the forest canopy with ease!

For over a thousand years, shamans from
the Amazon have received healing
for their people from the Vine of the Soul.
This medicine teaches how to reconnect
with our spiritual selves and Nature.
She provides lasting physical healing
by addressing its spiritual source.
She shows us the truth about how
we have betrayed ourselves and our divinity.
She reminds us of who we are
and how we lost our identity.
Call upon this ancient tradition
and reflect on what the deeper cause
for your pain and dilemmas might be.
Your Soul knows the answer,
you have only to call upon it.

Shamans Leaves

Clear the Clutter Out of Your Mind with Shaman’s Leaves

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:

Shamans Leaves from Gifts from the Rainforest32. Shaman’s Leaves – when the mind goes into survival mode, it can pull progress to a complete stop. Shamans leaves shake out resistance and fear so that the journey can continue.

What are you afraid of?

What would you like to shake off? What mental confusion needs to be cleared away? What might help you do that?

Healing Action: The critical mind wants to control you through fear or panic. Do not abandon your efforts – persist. Sit up. Breathe. Shake it out! Now is not the time to give in.


The Shaman’s Leaves

On shamanic journeys, resistance is expected.
When this happens, the small mind
will think up every possible reason to give up
and retreat from your Soul’s journey.
The shaman then brings out his dried leaves
and shakes them in your face
for however long it takes
for the small mind to surrender.
These dried leaves contain yellow magic –
the courage to endure against all
manipulations of the mind.
See your fear for what it is.
Stay with it.
Endure.

Further Exploration into the Medicine of the Shaman’s Leaves:

You have decided that things are supposed to happen in a certain way and because of your limited thinking, you are about to give up. Don’t. 

  • If you can stop thinking so much and open to the possibility of different scenarios, the block can remove itself.
  • If you can open yourself up to new ideas the world will respond to you differently.
  • If you refuse, you remain chained to outmoded thoughts, habits and behaviors that will naturally lead to self-defeat and self-pity.
  • If you are waiting for a guarantee, you will just keep delaying the completion of your goal. 
  • If your mind is telling you that something should be happening in a certain way ask your heart: “According to who and how would they know?” 
  • If you don’t have much self-discipline, now is a good time to develop some. 
Shamans Leaves

Do you need to stop trying to force something to work out a certain way and just trust the process? Nature has a way of righting things on its own; allow this to work for you.
It could be that a recurring pattern of post-traumatic stress is blocking your mind and making it hard to think clearly. Pent up energy needs to be released. Let the Circle help your body do what it needs to do. Use your breath, rhythmic motion, sound and visuals to bring the blockage up and shake it out. Once the stagnant energy is released, allow your body and nervous system to calm down with slower, deeper breaths and softer, rocking movements.
Or
Early childhood and/or cultural conditioning is blocking your spiritual connection. Take the pressure off of having to be a certain way. Doing the opposite of what you think you should do is often the cure. Visualize a warm breeze blowing anxious thoughts up and out of your mind, like a little whirlwind of leaves.
