Diving Into the Unknown: Proceed With Caution

Article by Eileen Dey

I've been diving into the unknown since I began my Reiki journey 15 years ago. It is a lot like scuba, in that you need to learn some basics before you descend to 60 feet. The freedom of being underwater is balanced out by that initial training. From there, it becomes a hands-on exploration of a world where physics and magic coincide.

In this upper world, I've learned some ways of coping and dealing with people, projects and decisions that arise.

I realize a skill I need to cultivate more deeply is my intuitive 'seeing'. I get a lot of intuitive material when I work with clients through my auditory channel. I 'hear' their complaints, issues, underlying neuroses. But that skill only gets activated when I am in the practitioner/treatment mode of an individual session.

In public, out and about, I have tended to focus more on the good and the light in others. Their potentials rather than their problems.

I'm happy NOT to wear any kind of energetic shielding, to fend off their complexities, rather letting light emit from within as my protector and guide.

I still feel thats a better way to approach the world, because shielding or guarding sets up the fear response. And I've always said that 'fear is the darkroom in which your negatives develop'. So I choose not to be in fear, but to be in light. And to also exercise caution in judgment.

Its that caution piece I need clearer seeing of. I remember years ago, a hypnotherapist trying to have me find a signal for it in my own mind. We came to the image of an actual red light for 'don't proceed' and green light for 'proceed'. And now that I'm writing this, I realize we hadn't put the yellow light in to 'proceed with caution'!

So I'm putting that device into my psyche to help with the inner seeing and knowing of when to move forward and go freely, when to slow down and check things out a bit more, and when totally stop and maybe go a different way.

I dive every single day into the world of non-! ordinary reality, or, the unknown. Anything can surprise me. But now, I proceed a little more cautiously, less of a maverick, more with grace.

Disapproving Faces: Not Everybody Will Like You

Image
Not everybody we meet will like us and it is ok to move into acceptance rather than trying to make somebody like you. It is not necessarily a pleasant experience, but there will be times in our lives when we come across people who do not like us. As we know, like attracts like, so usually when they don't like us it is because they are not like us. Rather than taking it personally, we can let them be who they are, accepting that each of us is allowed to have different perspectives and opinions. When we give others that freedom, we claim it for ourselves as well, releasing ourselves from the need for their approval so we can devote our energy toward more rewarding pursuits. While approval from others is a nice feeling, when we come to depend on it we may lose our way on our own path. There are those who will not like us no matter what we do, but that doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with us. Each of us has our own filters built from our experiences over time. The...

by kyz Article by robtboldizsar An estimated 75% of patients with asthma also suffer from chronic heartburn or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). People with asthma are twice as likely to suffer GERD as compared to those who do not have asthma and of those who have a more severe chronic form of asthma resistant to treatment are most likely to have GERD.acid and reflux Disorder is a disease in the digestive tract that is mainly caused by a relaxed or weak lower esophageal sphincter also known as LES. Thus any factors causing the LES to do otherwise would then cause the backflow of harmful digestive acid bile and enzyme into the esophagus causing irritations and even damage. A lot of factors may be the cause to the weakened or relaxed LES bringing forth the symptoms of acid and reflu...

Azurite and malachite

Image
by The Online Jeweller Magazine Article by Jimmy Reinard Azurite and malachite are both crystals formed by the weathering process that breaks down natural copper ore deposits. Azurite is a striking brilliant blue colour, with a hardness of around 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale as well as a specific gravity of around 3.77 to 3.89 and a refractive index of 1.655-1.909. Azurite is mined for use in paint pigments, often producing a range of blues dependent on the mineral's natural color.Malachite is the Greek translation of moloche, meaning mallow, due to its color.Unfortunately, azurite is unstable in most conditions and loses its brilliant blue color over time or is replaced by its more stable cousin, malachite. Malachite shares the same properties as azurite but appears as a vibrant green mineral. Unlike Azurite, malachite does not require the special handling making it more suitable for use in jewelry but i...
