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

The times are overwhelming.\u00a0 It’s as if everyone is “always on”.\u00a0\u00a0I find that when I’m always connected, things can quit working.\u00a0 When I’m always connected, I find myself staring at screens, answering every door bell and phone ring.<\/p>\n

When things quit working, one of the most effective\u00a0 things I do is switch everything off.\u00a0 This includes me.\u00a0 I switch off – both physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.<\/p>\n

I turn off electronic devices.\u00a0 The phone goes off.\u00a0 The computer shuts down.\u00a0 The TV is off.\u00a0 I turn off all the lights.<\/p>\n

And, you know what?\u00a0 almost everything works better after I’ve unplugged it for a few minutes.\u00a0 And, that includes me.<\/p>\n

And, then, I get in my most comfortable chair and\u00a0 give myself a Reiki therapy session.<\/p>\n

I begin the session with the symbols and three hand positions to my head.\u00a0 My intention is to relax so that I won’t be so fatigued and overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Now…I know that switching everything off can be difficult.\u00a0 In some cases, it’s impossible. I also know that there comes a time when saying “no” is not selfish.<\/p>\n

An important lesson I had to learn as an adult is that when everybody is getting oxygen masks, we sometimes each need to get our own oxygen mask first so we can make sure everyone else is being properly cared for.<\/p>\n

So, becoming comfortable with “no” and “off” is something that I had to learn in life.<\/p>\n

A life lesson I had to learn was that some people stress me out.\u00a0 Learning to recognize\u00a0 stressor people and situations was (is) important.\u00a0 Once stressors are are recognized, it is easy to avoid them.<\/p>\n

Life is more pleasant, less complicated,\u00a0 and easier when stressors are recognized and minimized.<\/p>\n

Reiki sessions help.\u00a0 Both Reiki and reflexology promote relaxation and a more positive outlook.<\/p>\n

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

Emergency Reiki sessions are a dramatic improvement.\u00a0 They work even better when they are a supplement to regularly scheduled Reiki therapy sessions.<\/p>\n
