Working With Your Life Force

Tai Chi
Intuitively we all work with our life force all the time. Maybe you’ve noticed that drinking too much coffee isn’t worth it, or maybe you’ve figured out the kinds of things that make you feel passionate alive when you do them. Whatever it is for you - that’s your life force; your Chi (as it’s known in Chinese medicine).
The real beauty of it is that you can take that level of conscious use of your Chi and begin to develop it like a muscle.
Some ways to work with Chi that have stood the test of time include
meditation
exercise
prayer
What else can you do to build your Chi and develop your Mana?

• Would you like to experience the state of consciousness traditionally described as enlightenment?
Avatar is for you.
“The Avatar® Course is about your beliefs and your perspectives.
“Imagine enrolling on a course where the study materials consist of your own consciousness. We provide navigational tools, a blank map, and emotional support. It’s your exploration; you have to bring your own terrain.
“The purpose is to assist you in returning to the level of consciousness at which you are the knowing creative source of your own beliefs. Along the way you are going to learn that what you believe is not nearly as important as knowing how you believe.
– Harry Palmer, from the book Living Deliberately
The Avatar Course is a series of experiential exercises that enables you to rediscover your self and align your consciousness with what you want to achieve. You will experience your own unique insights and revelations.
The goal of the three-section course is to guide you in an exploration of your own belief system and to equip you with the tools to modify those things that you wish to change.
Section I of the course (contained in the books Living Deliberately and ReSurfacing®) invites connection with a more expanded awareness of how your beliefs affect your life. It is offered in a two-day workshop.
Section II of the course leads you to reconnect with an experiential awareness of your own existence and to recover the effortless ability to create personal reality.
Section III of the course explores the foundational beliefs that create the universe and presents a simple and effective technique for managing beliefs. The technique is used in a series of rundowns to remove conflicts, limitations, persistent conditions, and even pain.
The Avatar Course is a powerful and speedily effective course based on the simple truth that your beliefs will cause you to create or attract situations and events that you experience as your life.
The goal of the three-section course is to guide you in an exploration of your own belief system and to equip you with the tools to modify those things that you wish to change. The Avatar Course opens a window to the inner workings of your own consciousness.
The course teaches world lessons (experiential) rather than word lessons (intellectual). For this reason it requires a trained Avatar Master to guide you into the actual lessons already contained in your own consciousness.

When you couple instinct with self-design, you awaken a power that is not only capable of coping with the future, it is capable of shaping the future.

Six Attributes of the Student-Teacher Relationship

Dalai Lama
Spirituality and Health Magazine did an extensive article on teaching and among many other things (it was the March-April 2007 edition if you’d like to read the entire article) listed these 6 attributes…
1. Almost all spiritual seekers progress through stages.
2. Most practitioners study with several teachers during their lives and form a different relationship with each.
3. Not every spiritual teacher is equally accomplished.
4. The appropriate relationship between seeker and teacher depends up on the spiritual level of each.
5. The student’s relationships with his teachers deepen as he proceeds along the spiritual path.
6. Each teacher may play a different role in each seeker’s spiritual life.

Amma’s teaching is simple yet profound: All beings have a spark of the divine. All have been given a human birth to bring happiness to others, which is the ultimate path to joy. Our lesson is to do “good deeds and serve others”.

Reiki Thought for the Day - 7-29-2009
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it. While Reiki is not a religion, for optimum well being in the light of Eastern medical theory that we are a mind-body-spirit unity, it is necessary to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.

Reiki Thought for the Day - 7-28-2009
The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and is connected directly to the quality of health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this “life force energy” has been verified by recent scientific experiments, and medical doctors are considering the role it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing process.

Reiki Thought for the Day - 7-27-2009
Reiki is ‘the primal energy of the universe being guided by the highest wisdom of the universe.’ Because of this, Reiki cannot be affected by our conscious minds or by anything negative. It can only create good.

Money Thought Experiment

The Money Trap
I found this exercise in… gasp! How did you know?? Reiki News Magazine! (smile)
Very content rich magazine; definitely recommend!
Things to think and journal about:
1. How do you feel when you find out someone else might be making more money than you?
2. How do you feel when you realize that you’re making more money than someone else?
3. Think about how much money you’re making right now. Then think what it would be like to make twice as much or three times as much. Do you feel like you are balancing on the top of a pole, afraid you’re going to fall off? Are you afraid some one is going to take your money from yo9u or that it will be difficult to hang onto?
