Many lifetimes may pass before we get to know our true nature. When we say, “true nature” it is a combination of our soul, our pastimes, our loves, or the things that truly, divinely bring light into our lives. When we move past the drama, the sorrow, the lifetimes of antagonistic humanness, we fall into our light. 

 

Many times, already psychic people turn to Reiki, there is an opportunity to enhance those skills. For those, like myself, who did not tap into these gifts readily or easily, Reiki will assist in the process of soul development in this way. Psychic skills are absolutely a part of soul development, as easily as they can be a trap for others. Please let me explain. 

 

When we start developing our Reiki skills, a natural softening of the mind or the mental chatter begins to occur. The typical, day to day thoughts shift into nothingness or mere presence in the current happenings. For some, offering Reiki sessions or receiving sessions can feel like a blissed meditation. Some drop off to nap of course, needing deeper rest and reset, often attuning to the earth’s rhythms. In this in between space where the mind is at rest, the nonstop chattering slowed, we can begin to feel into our animal-like instincts, moving from safety into a feeling space. 

 

For example, when a dog is snoozing by the fireplace, and his human walks by, he may crack open one eye and thump his tail in greeting. In similar fashion, we know what’s happening in our surroundings, but within the rest state, our alarm bells are not screaming. Our inner protector, our inner barking dog, is at rest. This is the foundation of our psychic development: a place of calm, a place of rest. 

 

The alarm bells, the trauma, the triggers, and false belief systems–we’ve all believed something untrue at some point, and probably still do– are the biggest block to seeing (or feeling or believing) what is actually there. When at rest, when in a calm state, Reiki can guide us into this realm with grace and more ease. 

 

The next time you are asking yourself for clarity or for understanding, find that place of calm centeredness within yourself and move from there. Or truly, listen from there.
