Strength.

We need to find the strength within ourselves for moments when all seems lost. Your faith keeps you moving, faith is not about religion, spirituality is not about a church or what dieties you worship. Faith and spirituality comes from within, without which we would be lost.

Even those who seem to have lost their way are still surviving because they have faith that somewhere out there is something better, even if it's only just that tiniest bit better. No matter what, even if others think our current situation is perfect, we always hope for better, we have faith that if we just try a little bit harder that we can improve our situation.

Friendship.

Have pride in the friends that brighten up your life. Have love for the friends that carry you through the times when you want to just let everything fall down. Have faith in the friends that always believe in you.

Loss.

Loss causes us pain. Loss causes us grief. Loss should also make us stronger. We survive through the small trials, we survive through the major battles, through it all, we survive because we have our friends and family with us, and when we lose their presence in our lives, we feel lost. We turn to those who knew them, we turn to family, we turn to people who don't know us.

Loss strengthens us and our bonds to the people we have in our lives. Thank each person, who are no longer with us, for enriching our lives. You are stronger for having known them. You are stronger for having lost them. Your friends and family bonds are stronger for experiencing life with you.

Lessons, Week 2.

Reiki week.

I’ve never really believed in Reiki, only because I didn’t know or had any idea of what it was or how it worked, yet, I have been doing it, slightly wrong but still with the best intentions, for quite a while. On Thursday night, Selena and Tracey had started explaining and showed us how to use Reiki, we all became Reiki attuned and learnt to send energy to each other and find the places on the body where our partners needed to receive the healing energy.

Forever being the skeptic that I am, I went along and thought what harm could it do. The more Selena explained and the more I learnt and experienced for myself, the more I was convinced that this healing energy called Reiki actually existed and actually would work to help heals people’s ailments, whether it be mental, physical etc. I couldn’t help but reading the person that I was doing the Reiki on, Jodie. She is a lovely lady with a lot of crazy energy buzzing round her.

All of the ladies are nice with great vibes/ energy being emitted from them. However, Jodie has something similar that my energy was drawn to. It made healing and reading her quite easy and simple and freeing. I learnt that I do receive messages for clients that I don’t necessarily have to hold on to that message or deliver it to the person. I can give it up to my angels for them to release into the ether and have God cleanse and purify that thought and it will eventually be known by the recipient.

It feels like each week I learn something new about gifts that I’ve been utilizing, albeit incorrectly, and correcting any wrong ideals that I’ve been mislead to believe. It feels good to know that I’m on the right path, that I’m correct bad habits and that I’m finally getting the right sort of guidance that I’ve been waiting for.

The cost of the course is no longer an issue, it’s now a case of making sure I’m sponging every piece of information and asking all the questions for each relevant situation. I’m glad the next few weeks sacrifice will better me in the long run.

Lessons.

I 

I have started a spiritual development class, with Selena Hill, at Jimboomba, as of last Thursday night. I've been told for so long that I need to protect myself during readings, I need to cut off the energy from the person that I just read, and that I need to find guides who will help me etc. Finally I've found someone who hasn't said, it's all my fault for certain things happening and that they are actually teaching me how to do things correctly instead of berating me like that lady did from the Regents Park crystal shop! 

This small group of 6 women have their own stories and challenges in life. I just feel so relaxed and no need to have my defenses up for once. No one is trying to suck your energy or anything like that. I can't wait for this weeks class on Reiki. I'll finally maybe understand what is. 

Oh, yeah, last weeks class was on protecting yourself and cleansing your chakras.

The past holds mistakes, the present holds pain, the future holds the hope to change the past and present.

Says me.

Never settle for small dreams. Dare to follow those dreams so big that they scare you, only then do you realise your full potential.

Facebook quote.

Some people call it prayer, some call it affirmations, some call it spells. What ever you may choose to call it, these simple lines, phrases, prose etc, can greatly influence your life, can greatly help your way through the tough situations. Say a little prayer for yourself next time you are wondering around searching for direction. Repeat a little affirmation when the situation you are in seems a little too difficult to handle. Cast a little spell when you want a little luck.

It is never the words that make it effective, it's the belief in what you are saying, it's the assurity that what you are saying will be truth and not just wishful thinking.

Another week forward.

This weeks plans are to get some promotional items started; business cards, flyers/pamphlets, websites, etc.
The whole process seems so daunting, but I've decided that I need to just deconstruct what exactly I need to do first. Try and breakdown all the bits and pieces that need to be checked off the list.

This week, I see my biggest challenge being the whole website and pamphlet design. Condensing the information etc is gonna be hard.
