Reiki and A Time of Caring

Article by Patti Barker Kierys

During these trying times, I have found writing and Reiki to be very helpful. I wrote the poem below for my family and friends. Once it was finished, I thought maybe it would be helpful to share it with my Reiki community. I hope it brings you a little comfort and support.

                      A TIME OF CARING

The feelings this day for the unknown
scary, fear, sadness, love and kindness
it is a time to draw close family and friends
a time to reflect on the world around

Try not to panic, but be aware to help
yourself, family, friends, and community
rest your mind, let your heart speak
reach out with words of kindness and support

Take time out and chat with those you love
let them know they are not alone
lessen their fears and anxiety
reassure each with hope and caring

Though we miss our hugs, kisses, and touch
we can let that go for the moment
filling the space between us with words
of love, compassion, and encouragement

It may even be a time to reflect on our life
are we living it the best we can to serve
it may be time to review and simplify
letting many material things slip away

Time to share and give to those in need
Let them know we are with them
we are a community for one and all
let us go forward without panic and fear

Let us live in the moment knowing
we are dealing with what comes our way
with strength to overcome and survive
and the will to live for today and tomorrow

In closing I say, you are not alone for I am here
with you in thought and touch with words
of hope for healing and love – always love

Namaste

We are blessed with the amazing gift of Reiki, which is very helpful at this time. I am sure each of you are aware of all we can do with Reiki. A few of the many things I do are self-Reiki every day as well as Reiki the inside and outside of my home, ground and protect myself and my car when I leave my home, Reiki food and anything else I bring into my home, and most importantly Reiki for my family.

Blessings are being sent your way.
Be safe during these difficult times.
