It started in February when I attended a Reiki Masters intensive in Arizona. I returned ready to make a daily commitment to my personal reiki practice. Don’t get me wrong – I practice almost daily in my work for clients, I use reiki as my ‘go to’ whenever issues arise but that is very different from spending time each day doing my self-reiki.

Cultural Creatives are roughly about 35% of adults in all developed countries of the world. In addition to their concern about family and relationships, they are concerned about the environment, social responsibility, personal development and growth, both psychologically and spiritually, over their whole lives.

If you had to remove the rocks, it would be very hard to push them out of the channel. You could spend all your time trying to get the rocks out of the channel without getting the river moving. But as soon as the river starts to flow and gains power from the desire to get back to its origin, you will find that you don’t need to do anything to the rocks, because the current takes the rocks with it. You do not need to remove the rocks if you keep the current going at all times.

I was at my chiropractor’s office where I really enjoy reading a magazine they distribute called “Pathways to Family Wellness”, and this perfect article was in the current issue.
