Standing Out
When members of your group work at odds with one another, they may not appear to be getting anywhere. Take a moment to analyze the disagreement so
You can seek a more proactive approach to overcome the obstacles.
But don’t get worked up for nothing. Frantic energy will get you nowhere.
Could you make an assertion and adapt your motto?
Sometimes, you can find yourself competing with others. Even though there is a struggle, there is no clear winner. This is your chance! This may be a time to step up and prove your worth.
Could you be sure to pick your battles? This is not a good time to argue just to prove your point. Rise to the challenge for the right reasons.
Order can be restored. You can succeed.
Finally, take a deep breath and re-examine your own path.
All this competition can help you become a better version of yourself.
DO THIS
Grounding activities are important now: Yoga, meditation, labyrinth, breathing exercises, mindfulness are some you may find helpful.
MEDITATION
Find a quiet place for this meditation. If you can, find a place away from street sounds or work noises.
Dim the lights a bit. Sit or lie comfortably.
Take a deep breath and hold it for a moment. Now, release this breath. See the tension in your body leave you now. Take a few deep breaths followed by releasing the breath.
As you breathe out, you release tensions. After a few in-and-out breaths, you feel relaxed. Each exhale brings more relaxation and comfort.
Close your eyes gently now. When you open them, you are standing on a path in a large park.
As you walk on this path, you see the trees overhead. Birds sing and a soft breeze blows. You feel it on your arms. The whole place smells like summer. You see the shadows of the trees and bushes as you walk along.
The path leads you to a stream. You see a small boat on the edge of the water. You know this boat is for you. You get in the boat and untie it. As you do this, the boat gently floats down the stream. Sitting in your boat, you drift and float in calm waters.
As you float along, you understand something: You can anticipate spinning and whirling pools of water. You know that streams have quiet times where the water seems to drift along. You know that streams also have swirling times where the water spins along, bubbling.
What you experience with your being is this: The water has its quiet time, with drifting and floating. Then, there is a turbulent time with bubbling water swiftly moving along.
PAUSE
You bid goodbye to the stream now, knowing that you can return to it any time you wish. You gently move your muscles now, shifting, at your time and pace.

“A Lightbulb Moment”
Are you in a situation where you can’t seem to get to the outcome you seek? The decision you need is just not happening. Your options are not clear enough. You’re questions are muddled. Your thinking is clouded. Judgment is eluding you. The answer you seek is hiding somewhere.
Where is the answer?
A clarity breakthrough (lightbulb moment) is not usually the story’s beginning. Muddled questions, clouded thinking, and elusive judgment begin the story.
While these things happen, your unconscious mind gathers insight and makes information available.
At this point, you are in a situation called “Gift card”. Consider what happens when you receive a gift card. You know that you’re receiving something. You don’t yet know how you might use it.
You don’t see this gift’s size, shape, weight, or anything else. You may not know much about where you’ll spend your currency. You may not yet even know its value. You may not be able to visualize how it will end up.
It’s up to you to create the opportunity you’ve been seeking.
You are in the middle of a life-changing event. Take that elusive opportunity and make it what it will eventually become.
In the middle of the confusion, do not doubt your situation for even one moment. Your conscious mind collects and organizes the information. Meanwhile, the truth of your answer bubbles up. Your unconscious mind is on the job, gathering insight and making the information available.
Take a deep breath. Your lightbulb moment is on the way. Ground yourself so you can make it real.
When you allow yourself to be truthful and authentic, the truth and its timing will bust loose. Clear thinking will tell you what you want to know.
You are inspired, motivated and energized. You see the potential of the outcome.
This can be a spiritual event.
Whether or not you see this as a spiritual event, it is definitely a positive lightbulb moment encouraging new beginnings, and decisions.
You can act on this information.
DO THIS:
Schedule a Reiki session. Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you book an appointment and receive a session or offer yourself Reiki. However you bring Reiki into your life, it is appropriate.
Reiki blends with other bodywork modalities. Incorporate it into your healing sessions.
MEDITATION:
Find a comfortable, safe place to sit quietly or lie down. Do some slow deep breathing. As you inhale and exhale, feel yourself relax. Accept the healing meditation.
As you release all your tensions and worries, allow yourself to embrace this healing moment.
Visualize clouds above you. Notice the clouds now. What do they look like? What are the colors in the clouds? How are they moving across the sky?
Notice the sun now. Observe how it shines its light down on you through the clouds. Feel the sun’s warmth on your body.
You feel the sun’s rays warming your body. You feel the warmth internally.
You notice that the sun’s warming rays are focusing on your heart. This warmth is enlightening.
You want to share this healing energy that you feel now. Encourage it to heal and transform your home, your town, your state, your country, the entire planet. You encourage it to heal all the people and animals and plants throughout the earth.
Sit with this healing and transformational energy for a few moments as you focus and expand your feelings to include gratitude.
As you feel the gratitude in you and around you, you realize that you are surrounded by love and abundance throughout your life.
Enjoy this for a moment.
It is time to return to your day now. You know you can return to this place with its healing and transformational energy whenever you want.
Thank you for reading this article. It is my hope that it will support you in your healing journey.

Is Something a Little “Off”? – It’s time to Connect!
For many of us, Winter is still out there. CONNECT with each day and its gradually-increasing light level.
This is a good opportunity to see, really see, the evergreen trees.
Are there any winter-flowering plants in your life these days?
What about the birds that visit at this time of the year?
A real treat this time of the year is the winter sunset. A winter sunset happens earlier in the day than in the summer. Pause, slow down your breathing, and bring the sunset into your life.
Today’s sunset is unique to this moment in time. (Tomorrow’s sunset will be different.) This is your chance to absorb a little awe and experience a stilling moment.
Now, take a deep breath. Imagine a line running from the top of your head to the bottom of your spine.
Inhale deeply. Fill your lungs. Expand your muscles. Invite some positive energy to fill your body.
Enjoy this special moment for what it is: a special moment, a blip in all of eternity.
CONNECT!
