YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK

How often do you look within and see the beautiful person that you are? How often a day do you check in within yourself and see how you are feeling? How about your self-talk?

We are often so hard on ourselves and very rarely do we pay ourselves a compliment. We are the first to point out all our imperfections, mistakes, sometimes feeling we are not good enough, focused on the negativity of what was said to us growing up and stay focused on all that we feel is wrong with us.

In my Reiki practise I have found so many women with the above issues. The past has a way of shaping us and so our self-talk reflects the negativity.

What we need to recognize is our self-talk keeps us where we are. Why not begin changing the self-talk? Every morning why not point out one beautiful thing you like about yourself? We can begin acknowledging the positive aspects of your personality, or how you like your hair, your eyes, the way you dress or even your laughter. That is how to begin and when you catch yourself saying something negative, STOP and pay yourself a compliment.

If your issues began by your parents, or a friend or whoever, please remember they have forgotten what they said and moved on with their life not recognizing the pain they have created. I suggest you forgive them, and you are doing this for you not for them. Forgive yourself for allowing them to affect your life.

We choose every day on how we feel but you have to remember your choice is what you say.

You are a beautiful soul and I ask that you begin to be kind to yourself. Let today be a new beginning for you.

If you feel you want to release your issues, either from depression, the negative self-talk, feeling the lack of self-love or whatever it may be, I can help you. You do not need to struggle.

Big hugs and blessings, Nancy

REIKI POEM - Trisha J.

I love reiki, makes me feel less achy.

Gets me inspired, sets my mind on fire.

Like its being rewired,

no longer expired.

A miracle transpired.

Her hands are clearly magic, makes me ecstatic.

Things are much less tragic.

Things are looking up,

there's water in my cup.

Time to cheer up,

we're on the come up.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO ANGER

There can be times when we get so angry with someone that we find ourselves holding onto that anger that we can physically feel the affects the anger has.

In order to keep yourself from taking part, it is important to release the thoughts and the person into the care of the Universe with forgiveness.

Have you taken a pause for a moment and consider that perhaps the actions of the other person may have had nothing to do with you? If we can try to not take their actions personally, it can be easier to release them.

Before you add your fuel to their anger, take a deep breath before responding and maybe also walk away. Allow yourself the time to reconnect to your center and make the choice to respond from your higher self. We can never know all the circumstances that may have led someone to do something or say something. Taking this pause of breath before responding, we can release the negativity and ask Spirit to work out the best solution for all involved.

Remember, every day we have a chance to make a choice to bring light and love into this world. When we don't respond back, and I know this can be difficult, we bring a little more peace to this world.
