Reiki Spirit - August 2024
Greetings Fellow Reiki Enthusiasts!
As I write this, I am reflecting upon my time at the Wisdom of Reiki Conference that was held in beautiful Rhinebeck, New York. It was quite the experience to be unplugged from technology, indulge in wonderfully fresh and healthy food (that we did not have to cook and prepare!), be surrounded by like-minded people, and have plenty of time for reflection and meditation. It was a wonderful experience, very relaxing, and healing.While we cannot always take the time and expense to travel, I would highly recommend that you at least try spending a day without technology and sit and reflect or meditate. We all have busy agendas, but the benefits of just allowing yourself to let go and sit with yourself are so beneficial — often the answers we seek are there, we just need to stop and listen.
Some of my key takeaways that I would like to share with you are:
* Listen with all the parts of you
* You can learn from every person you meet — think, tell me something I need to know
* Send Reiki to whatever makes you uncomfortable — choose to step into growth
* Bring Reiki into your whole life, even while doing dishes
* Ask Reiki to guide you through your day
* Ask Reiki to help you with your business, e.g., bring you clients that resonate with you or a number of new clients you would like
Sometimes all we have to do is ask!

Reiki News and Tips
*******************************
Gratitude is more than saying thank you, it can be very powerful and change your perspective of your world. Gratitude can be both temporary or long-term. When we learn to be grateful for all of our experiences in life, good and bad, gratitude becomes more of a positive character trait and can fill your life with abundance.
Science has shown that gratitude changes the neural structures in the brain and makes us feel happier and more content. When we feel grateful and express appreciation for others, our brain releases dopamine and serotonin which can improve our mental and emotional health. By consciously practicing gratitude every day, we can strengthen these neural pathways and create a permanent grateful and positive nature within ourselves.
The benefits of giving and receiving gratitude are endless: reduce stress, improve sleep, reduce pain, release toxic emotions, strengthen the immune system and improve overall health, helps us better deal with adversities, strengthens the relationship we have with ourself and others, makes us feel more connected and bonded with others, enlighten the mind, and make us genuinely happier!
Expressing and journaling the things we are grateful for is positively correlated to more vitality, energy, and enthusiasm to work harder.

It is with deep gratitude that I let everyone I have met through the Reiki program and Angel Light know that I have decided to take some time to travel with my husband, explore new interests, and see where all of this takes me. I would like to continue to share the knowledge I have developed and will continue to develop with others and have discussed future class opportunities at Angel Light. I am excited to see what the future holds for me and hope to see and hear from you when I am at Angel Light.
With gratitude and sincere thanks,
Monica
