While this may sound a little crazy and I certainly didn’t understand way back at the beginning of my Reiki journey when my teacher said these very words…

‘Do the work and you’ll get the results.’

Arrh for those who know about Reiki, it does it for you. That’s what I have loved about the journey although it been a tough one. It was still worth it. The main thing is I can now appreciate how far I have come.

By doing the work on yourself is really tough going at times as I certainly had rough time getting out my supressed anger and you name it. While my ‘healing crisis’ are far and few between and barley cry these days, is a sign most has been purged out of me.

Although we do get triggered from time to time, they still need to be felt and not passed on to others, meaning that you ring a friend the moment you are let down or something bad happens in your day. Learn to process it yourself in what ever form that is. Writing, singing, dancing, fitness, painting or a walk-in nature.

Doing the work can as little as changing your diet, to taking up a new hobby or even joining a new dance class. It all helps you shift through those stagnant moments in life when you would rather be at the beach all day as oppose staying locked inside your home crying all day. Fortunately my crying was like a tap and came when I was alone. Ho hum. Cheeky.

Thank goodness those days are behind me.

While I’m still doing the work each day, it never stops, it’s just once you have reached your point then you get on with what you really came here to do. That particular thing that drives your passion.

In the mean time it’s vital every day now to keep doing the hard yards to you know that it’s not a major issue in your life, just waves not tsunamis of emotions.

And so it is.
