OK. Time to remember to breathe...can't just schedule that in. Yes, I'm feeling I'm at the top of the hill on a roller coaster and things are about to get going really fast. Between back to school stuff, fall activities starting, home life, work, and getting new projects going, time is in big demand right now. So with all of that going on, how can one fit in the time for Reiki and meditation before crashing into bed at the end of the day?
Well, my best plan for this is to be organized and try to schedule that time in just like all other activities are scheduled. My guess is that this is not always going to work out, but I AM going to give it the best try. I think that once I'm into the rhythm of it all, it will fall into place and I'll feel all the better for it. In a time where I'll be expending a lot of energy in a lot of different places, it only makes sense to make time to recharge and relax. Gotta remember to not be hard on myself if all doesn't go as planned - I'll just have to adjust to what works. This time going into things, I definitely feel more connected to knowing that making time for Reiki and meditation on a daily basis is going to be a huge asset for me and well worth the work to make time for it. I think it will help me to keep my sanity through all of these busy times. I'll report on how this is working out. Gotta get going to make sure that I have time tonight for it. Peace and love to you. Namaste.

Just for today...do not worry. Really?
I've been trying to really meditate on the Reiki Precepts lately and this brought about an interesting discussion with my husband tonight....
There's a possibility of our area getting hit with rain resulting from a hurricane that could be on the coast near us this weekend. So my husband starts wondering out-loud about whether our water-prone basement will be flooding this weekend. He's a Reiki 1 practitioner, so I say to him lightly, "Just for today, do not worry." He responded that preparation is necessary so that we have what we need to avoid major problems and he is right.
So this made me think, there is a difference between being prepared and worrying about something. Preparing for something can be done in a positive light, to work toward making the best possible outcome. Worrying about something is different in that it wastes a lot of time and energy and usually does not result in significant, positive results. I think that this is a part of how the Reiki precept, "Just for today, do not worry" is meant to help guide us. Focusing on worrying about "what might happen" distracts us from the current moment and can make the reality of a situation less clear.
