\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Recently I was standing in a grocery line, my cart piled high with much needed food.\u00a0 After a couple of minutes, I realized that, not only was it not moving, the line was getting longer and longer – seemingly by the second.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago, I was in a similar situation – I was stuck in traffic.\u00a0 It seemed I was in this situation for the duration of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Both cases shot my schedule.\u00a0 I wasn’t going to make it to my next appointment, or the one after that, on time.\u00a0 The most could say about these situations was that they were a crashing bore.<\/p>\n

In the grocery line, I shifted into neutral.\u00a0 It was time to chill.\u00a0 This was a situation where I felt everything was going to go the way it was going to go – I was stuck.<\/p>\n

This created a perfect opportunity for two things:\u00a0 First, it was time to ground myself and be peaceful.\u00a0 Second, it was time for Reiki energy to join the crowd.<\/p>\n

Sure enough – within a moment, I felt Reiki energy energize my hands while it moved through the crowd and grounded everyone. I felt the people in the line calm themselves and take on an entirely new perspective.<\/p>\n

When I’m in a crowd and Reiki energy join the group, I’m always grateful that I learned Reiki in such a way that it goes to work as it is needed.<\/p>\n

Even without Reiki energy, grounding was a wonderful thing to experience in this situation.<\/p>\n

Whenever we’re in a stuck event, the first inclination is to push.\u00a0 When that doesn’t work, the next step is to figure out a way to fight and struggle against the event.<\/p>\n

A good option in this situation is to do your best to be calm.\u00a0 This attitude may give you an entirely new perspective.<\/p>\n

Is this an easy thing to do?\u00a0 Probably not.\u00a0 But, when you succeed, you may feel\u00a0 you participated in a spiritually grounding event.<\/p>\n

WOW!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Truthfully, it’s hard to plan for these events.<\/p>\n

When they happen, embrace the opportunity to practice Letting Go.\u00a0 This short time in the grocery line or traffic jam is a good way to release and\/or heal the various events and thoughts crowding your life with negativity.<\/p>\n

See this situation as a moment for yourself.\u00a0 Think about how you can benefit from it.<\/p>\n

Work on releasing any thoughts, habits, or beliefs that clutter your life.\u00a0 If you have doubts, think of the release is a way of loving yourself.<\/p>\n

You may want to let go of a person or situation in your life which is uncomfortable or too negative for you.\u00a0 Do this with love and compassion.\u00a0 Ask the universe for guidance and assistance.<\/p>\n

You may be able to move toward forgiving someone or some past event.<\/p>\n

Because you are in a situation, you may be inspired by the spirituality and grounding of the moment to receive inspiration.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the universe sees an opportunity which you didn’t\u00a0know was there!<\/p>\n

This may even be time for self-talk and self-acceptance.<\/p>\n

This may even be time to commit to an action.<\/p>\n

This may be time to participate in a Letting-Go moment where you release frustrations, mis-guided expectations, and other restrictions into the wind.<\/p>\n

Take a moment to blow them away.\u00a0 As you breathe out, send them to wherever they need to go to become positive expectations, thoughts, and goals for others.<\/p>\n
