I returned to the practice in1999 to help balance out the physical and mental stresses of life as an occupational therapist in a hospital.

Is Your Reiki Attunement a Real Attunement?

Before we define what an attunement is not, maybe it is easier to define what an attunement is. A Reiki attunement is a special form of initiation into Reiki at a certain level. During the attunement, the Reiki Master traps the energy into their body and pass it onto the student. This usually involves a form of ceremony or initiation, for example by leading into a meditation or having soft music. The attunement is said to tune the student into the Reiki channel, pretty much like we would tune a radio to a particular frequency.

Energetic Releasing Of Trauma

Dealing with your emotions after a traumatic event can be difficult. Although the event has ended, the memories may last for months or years to come. Similar events, sights, smells and sounds may trigger a traumatic memory. The traumatic experience still exists in our brain and contains the emotional and conscious memory traces of the event. Our brains are unable to release this message of threat that it is receiving and shows up as symptoms of fear and anxiety. Often times our reactions to these events can produce fear and anxiety in our responses to it.

Forgiveness Can Set You Free: Unshackle the Chains of Resentment

“To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive peace and happiness.” Robert Muller Often when we are wronged we hold on to the hurt. We own it – it is our hurt and we do everything we can to keep it. In the early stages, we use this as a coping mechanism to protect us from further pain. But as time wears on we tend to hang on to the wrongs with pit-bull tenacity – just a little too long for our own good. A better course of action is the act of forgiveness.

In person, you obviously don’t look like a child, but the image you are projecting if you sound like an 8-year-old is definitely not an image that lends credibility to you or instills confidence in your listeners.

One of the things I enjoy about social media is that it allows you and your audience to be a little more personal. However, unless your presence is intended to be just personal, you still don't want to be posting only things about what you're eating (unless your niche is food related), what's bugging you today, etc. I actually don't prescribe to using what you're eating as a viable post at all. While you want to be personal, you don't want to be too personal. You need to keep things as relevant and as on topic (to your product or service) as possible.
