Hand Over Heart

I walk briskly on this crisp fall morning, with leaves falling all about and with many thoughts in my head and heart as well, and I am surprised to be pointed in a different direction today.

I arrive at a beautiful pond, and sit at the bench all by myself, with only mallard ducks and geese in the water to accompany me...

It is easy, at a tumultuous time like this to get caught up in all the drama. And I receive a message for that as I sit quietly in the stillness and silence, punctuated only by an occasional flapping of wings...


"Shine your Light!
And let go of the drama!"

I feel saddened by how empty everything feels - and how small my world is becoming, and another message is given for that as well...

"You are never alone!
You are supported in ways
Seen and Unseen,
close to you as your very own heart!
Place your hands over your heart.
Feel the warmth that arises.
The comfort.
The LOVE!
Your angels and guides and loved ones,
passed on, and still remaining,
are as close to you 
as your very own heart!
Whenever you are feeling sad, or alone,
simply place one hand over your heart."

I sigh. In response angel. In relief, and sit by the pond for a while longer.

We are never truly alone, and as I place my hand over my heart I feel a warmth, and squeeze, and a touch - and a connection to this beautiful fall day and all that is in it - the ducks and the geese, the squirrels scampering about and being frisky - even the people I disagree with...

I do my ablutions - utter my Reiki Precepts and do LovingKindness practice for others and myself. And when I am ready to move on, I realize that I walk back filled and warm.


Reiki Precepts

Do not anger. 
Do not worry.
Be grateful.
Be true to your way
and your being.
Show compassion to yourself
and others.

LovingKindness

May I be filled with LovingKindness.
May I be well.
May I be at peace and at ease.
May I be happy.
