Do you love going thrift shopping? Do you like looking through the assortment of donated goods? Maybe vintage vibes appeal to you. Or, perhaps you’re a Mid Century Modern aficionado.
Thrift shopping is an excellent way to save money and also to reduce the amount of waste due to fast fashion and keep items out of landfills.
Have you ever noticed that when you’re at the second hand store, some items call to you? Maybe you’ve noticed that items you had missed a moment before are now catching your eye? Or is there an item that makes you feel a negative sensation?
Psychometry is the ability to receive information from inanimate objects. This information might pertain to how the item had been previously used. Or, you might ascertain insight into the former owner. As a Reiki practitioner you might find yourself picking up doodads at the thrift store and getting a sense, or feeling, about the item. Psychometry is an exercise in using your intuitive insight along with your ability to perceive from across the veil.
You can use Reiki to help you find items that resonate with you along with psychometry. If you have ever gone shopping for a crystal, and used your hands to guide you until you got a tingle that felt right, then you’re familiar with the process. For example, let’s say you find an antique pair of wooden dice that you fancy. However, you just aren’t quite sure if the energy you are sensing is right for you. Open yourself up to receiving Reiki and then use your hands, slightly above the object, in this case dice, to allow images or sensations to cross over to you. Are you sensing any story or thoughts that feel outside of yourself and not your own? You might be picking up on residual energies.
Now, let’s say that you decided the dice were right for you. You might want to buy them but you don’t necessarily want the residual energy of the previous owner to stay attached to the dice.
In that case, you then use Reiki to help you cut the cords for your new purchase. Drawing the symbol Cho Ku Rei, or visualizing it, Cho Ku Rei helps direct energy and gives purpose to this energy. Visualize the Reiki energy filling up the dice (or other item) and opening up the energy to your future intended purposes.
Thrift shopping and Reiki go hand in hand. You love the thrill of looking for items that have been previously used, want to reduce your impact on Earth and save money. Reiki can help you give a new energetic life and clear second hand items of stagnant or unwanted energies. Second hand items but, thanks to Reiki, just like new to you!
