Reiki in changing times

It's very important during times of extreme change and stress to have some sort of coping mechanism. I have heard over and over again from various energy workers, light workers, that the changing times are not just challenging, but nearly overwhelming.  Many ask, how can I protect myself, how do I ground?  It almost feels as if the world is spinning faster around us, and none of us want to be sucked into the vortex of the storm.

Firstly no matter what it's important to start the day and end the day with some sort of self work to keep grounded.  Times are outright scary, there are challenges coming from every facet of our lives.

 For me Reiki, prayer, and breath work  has been the cornerstone to ground my energy, and renew and sustain myself.  Each morning work on which level of our energetic being (called chakras) are being affected by what is going on.

Our greatest nemesis are lack of sleep, lack of good nutrition, and lack of ordinary care of ourselves.  Again it is important to balance energetic health with solid common sense.  Take heed of what you put in your body.  Processed sugars, dyes, bleached flour, and other artificially made foods are going to add to the burden of what is going on energetically and emotionally.  Take care not to ingest meats with antibiotics and or steroids.  Look for clean good food from organic sources.  Read your labels, and take care of your body as well as your spirit.

Do not be overwhelmed by fear.  Remember that fear is just negative faith, so if you have the faith to fear, you have the same faith to be fearless.  What if's are not helpful, they do not create positive energy flow.  Let go of those things that do not serve and that you cannot control.  Create positive and helpful space by taking care of the things you are able to.  Be empowered by your successes, and focus on what is feasible and doable.
