Pamela: Whenever I plan a trip, I use the long-distance symbol to send Reiki ahead and smooth the way.

Karen: Can you really feel the Reiki when you arrive?

Pamela: No, not really. But my experience has been that I everything is easy and effortless when I prepare with Reiki.

Today is the perfect example. (Synchronicity abounds when Reiki is flowing!) My trip to the airport could not have been any more magical than it was. Generally I have to transfer trains downtown (which is a bit stressful as it’s crowded and hectic) but today the train I started on went straight through.

Someone offered to lift my giant suitcase up the steep steps. (As an empowered, independent woman, I am fully capable of schlepping my own luggage. And as an awakening goddess, I am delighted to accept ALL the assistance the universe provides!) There was an empty seat and room for my suitcase right by the door and I didn’t have to struggle a bit with cranky commuters or my luggage.

There was NOBODY in line at the airline counter and I checked my bag in under three minutes! When I got to security, I was ushered to the front of a line that had just opened and a very nice lady gave me a quick, gentle pat to ensure the buttons on my pants weren’t weapons. My flight has been delayed, but I have ample cushion at the next stop and now I’m able to enjoy a cup of tea and the breakfast I brought on the ground, along with a last minute unhurried restroom stop.

Some might think the delayed flight is a Reiki fail, but I see the success as my ability to roll with it. I do have to get on my final flight on time or will spend the night in Detroit, but I’m not worried. I know whatever happens along the way is divinely planned and for my greatest good. Although I would much prefer to have dinner with my parents and sleep by the side of a remote lake tonight, I’ll do just fine wherever I am and might even enjoy the unexpected, unplanned experience.

Now I’m onboard, going to arrive an hour late but still on time, with plenty of space in the overhead luggage compartment, and a miracle empty seat beside me. Woohoo!

Karen would probably ask: But how?

Pamela: I don’t know! I think it’s about me aligning with the natural flow of universal energy. It seems most of my suffering comes from trying to swim upstream when the opportunities I want are all downstream and from simply not accepting reality as it is. Reiki seems to help me recognize that I am always in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. How could it be an other way?!

Even without the level 2 Reiki symbols, you can use this infinite, gentle yet powerful energy to support your goals. Writing your intention on an index card and Reiki’ing the card is an easy way to focus the mind and concentrate the energy. If you haven’t yet signed up for your first Reiki class, you can activate the power of intention by visualizing yourself having a smooth journey and feeling how lovely it is to glide through the process receiving all the support you need.

And if you’d like some professional help, let me know! I am delighted to offer long-distance sessions to help ease your mind and your path wherever you go.
