Current events at the moment are terrifying, to say the least. The Ukraine refugee crisis has already begun, and it is only the beginning of a long period of painful news of suffering humanity. If you’re wondering what you can do as a Reiki channel, there is certainly plenty.
Are you taking sides?
This is a very controversial thing to say, and that precisely is the point. The polarising we’re experiencing today is about taking sides, me versus you and ideas of right and wrong. Certainly what is happening is not right, no doubt about that, but we also need to remember at the same time that we not only have no access to the complete picture, but also that the channels of information available to us aren’t exactly deserving of our complete trust. We are not decision makers here, we do not need to have an opinion. It is completely fine to disagree with what is happening and yet remain aware that we don’t know everything. It helps to see things more objectively and approach this from the balance in the heart rather than the tempting, separating me-versus-you approach.
Change begins within your heart.
The root cause of conflict is an I-am-right-you-are-wrong belief system. Media today capitalises on our addiction to stress hormones and presents the news in a further polarising way. If you feel infuriated and agitated with the news, that is only natural. However, it is especially important to watch out for feelings of fear, anxiety, or hatred and wishing for someone to suffer. It is precisely these feelings that add violence to the world.
A little exercise
Sit down and close your eyes for a few minutes every time you feel disturbed by current events, and bring your awareness to your feelings. See if a particular part of your body is taking up energy or calling out to you through sensations, throbbing, pain or tightness, and place your hands on those parts to heal your emotions.
Are you giving the world your very best?
More and more people now are turning inwards, but to raise our collective vibration, we still need to cross a collective threshold. If your practice isn’t regular, and if you would like to be doing your very best to leave our children a kinder, more loving world, then ensure at least a total of 35 min of daily Reiki self-healing, ideally practicing in the morning as well as the evening.
Sending healing to the situation
Undoubtedly, many of us are already sending healing for world peace and in particular for peace and resolution in Ukraine. Many healers like to set an intention, and it is fine if that is how you prefer it. Personally it took me a decade of practice to realise that Reiki with total surrender works significantly more powerfully and the solutions that present themselves are much beyond our ideas of what could and should have happened. Faith in the capacity of Reiki is much smaller than trust in the intelligence of Reiki, because the energy is very aware of what is needed, how many possibilities exist and what needs to happen.
If you are only a level 1 channel and are seeking to contribute, be regular with your practice as I mentioned and you can do flooding for Ukraine, imagining the country and its people in front of you.
If you have completed level 2 and beyond, imagine the leaders of Russia and Ukraine and also other important world leaders in front of you, wish for them peace and love in their hearts, wisdom, kindness, and clarity in their minds. We are programmed to wish people pain when we dislike their choices, but bear in mind that people in pain hurt others, and people with love in their hearts make the world a better place. If our leaders are wise, kind, loving people, they make very different choices. You can precede this process with requesting healing for your own pain and feelings about this situation, this makes it a lot more powerful.
You can do this at any time of the day you like, but doing it at the same time every day always makes it more powerful. And if you would like to join at the same time as my group, you can do so at 8 pm IST, 8.30 am CST, 9.30 am EST, 3.30 pm CET.
