The holidays can increase our busy-ness with family gatherings, shopping, cooking, travel, etc. We often feel too rushed take the time to activate the Reiki Symbols by drawing them and doing our full activtion process. Remember that it is ok to activate Reiki just by thinking about it. The symbols will activate simply because you invite them. They don't need your full attention when you are too busy too spend alot of time. Reiki will adapt to your schedule and help you in whatever way you need it most.

Reiki makes your day flow easier because it aligns you with higher thought and increased vitality, which gives you the ability to think and act from a balanced perspective. One of my personal favorite "higher perspectives" is that I don't engage in all of the opinions at the holiday family gatherings. I just sit back and watch and enjoy. It has given me so much freedom! I don't have to say everything I think. Consider trying it, it is really great. Reiki makes it easy for me not to be attached to it all. I also think Reiki is directly responsible for my front row parking karma. Seriously, I always get the best parking spots! I think about the Reiki Distance symbol, and the direction I need to drive to get the parking spot highlights in front of me. It seems as if serendipities follow me, (or I follow them, I don't know which) and I get to watch the small ways my day is easier. Reiki seems to open my mind so that I can notice. They probably happen to everyone all the time, but Reiki seems to make the small blessings visible to me. I get to experience them and notice their presence. It helps me to look for them too which is a nice way to spend my time.

I could go on and on about the advantages of inviting Reiki into your holidays, but this is a blog and I try to keep it short. I think my main message is to remind myself and any of you that this is helpful to, to simply invite Reiki in whatever way you have time for. It is a wonderful feeling to activate Reiki by drawing the drawing all the symbols into your hands and the room, but if you don't have time, invite Reiki with your thoughts while you are in the middle of your busy-ness. It will help you stay centered and in the flow of your own inner guidance as you do all the things you have to do to make your holidays happen.

Send Reiki into the following days, again you can just send it quickly with your thoughts, and ask for it to guide you to easy holidays. Set your intention that they are easy and that you enjoy them. Remember the Reiki Ideals. They are really helpful during this time. Just for today, I will not anger, or worry, I will be filled with gratitude and devoted to my work, and I will be kind to all others. When you read them, you can see how they align you with a different perspective. Do self-Reiki by just thinking about Reiki and placing your hands on your body wherever you are, you can be very inconspicuous. I also sing and chant the names of the Reiki symbols to call them in. I like to do this while I clean my house and it fills the house with Reiki. Most of all, use Reiki the way that it works for you. Make it easy on yourself. Reiki doesn't ever want to be the "one more thing you have to do," it will come because you invited it. It always shows however you activate it.

Blessings for wonderful holidays!
