As you do Reiki, also work on your attitude.

Know the hatred you generate for your mother-in-law is the one your son and daughter-in-law will generate for you in future. But because that future seems far, we don’t care about it. And when it comes as present (time), we again cry ‘why maam, why am I suffering so again and again?’ As you sow, so you reap!

What you give will come back to you ONLY – for sure!

If you are receiving hatred know it was what you have given out all these years in one form or the other. So now change what you are giving out to your family members – yes, even the ones you don’t like. Give out blessings. Give out affection. Learn this lesson now. This situation will repeat again and again till you learn this lesson. It is up to you to decide when to stop your suffering and chose to learn the lesson.

If you are giving out hatred then that’s what is going to come back to you – eventually. Work on your energy meter! Change what you generate to receive what you want. By giving out curses you can’t expect happiness and peace of mind in your life.

No one can work magic for you! If they say they can, know them to be liars! You need to face your worries yourself. Keep healing your intentions. We fear the outcome because we want to ‘control the outcome’ of our desires. We want to control every single incident in life. The stronger our desire to control the more is our restlessness. The more we are restless, the more we panic or get depressed. And in turn want results immediately as per our desires. That means we lose patience. We become selfish in the process. We become adamant and can’t see any reason. We lose clarity of thought!

Our selfishness doesn’t allow us to think about and for others. We generate dislike and hatred for others in our life. The result – all these negative energy created will give negative situations again and again. We then cry ‘why maam, same thing happening again and again in my life?’ We are not sensible enough to accept and see that we are causing all this energy in our life. Our excuse is ‘but I am doing Reiki as much as I can….’ We do reiki for say one hour and rest 16 hours we are spreading anger, hatred, dislike and selfish energies. What do you think happens then? How do you think this will work?

As you do Reiki, also work on your attitude.

Points to remember :

Always remember We are in the hurry to reach the "next station" of our life - ALWAYS! We assume that is the station where HAPPINESS  is??!! NO! It is just our assumption. Work for your goals and desires. But HAPPINESS IS RIGHT HERE AND NOW WITH YOU. If you can't be happy NOW you won't be happy even after reaching station of your choice! Go back to your every station of life - school, college, job, marriage, promotion, kids, investments, travel etc.....

If you are doing Reiki for your intention – trust that it’ll come true.

“But maam, when?” – No one had answers for this question.

“But maam, he got his wish fulfilled, when will my wish be granted?” – Basically stupid question! Your wish will be fulfilled at ‘your time’ – not when you demand it to be fulfilled!

There are two types of people who do intention Reiki.

First type are those who get angry right from first week saying ‘but I am doing Reiki since a week, month..etc..’ They become more and more irritated, tensed, angry and depressed. They are becoming more selfish, adamant and seeking pity from others.

The second are the ones who remember every intention that was fulfilled in the past and keep being grateful for that. This in turn increases their faith. They address their fears and doubts with various healing techniques. They keep saying “If Reiki has given me this tough situation, there is something I need to learn from it”. They keep looking for flaws in their attitudes and keep correcting them. They keep reminding themselves “Even this shall pass!” As they are in pain, suffering and depressed, they keep with the techniques. Sometimes, not even with faith but as a routine. And that in turn brings them out of this state of mind sooner than later.

For the last one week, we took upon ourselves to watch Sunset together daily for one whole week.

I did – religiously (as ever!?) every single day!

Some did this exercise.

Few didn’t - with excuses.

Others found the whole exercise not beneficial (!?) and so didn’t do!

What happened?

The whole of this – mostly in Hyderabad (of India) it was either cloudy or raining. So, it was not possible to do this exercise literally!

Some didn’t even go out at the appointed time thinking ‘oh, it’s cloudy so its waste of going’.

Some cursed their fate for not being able to do it because of rain. Some of them even thought it was ‘bad sign’?!

Pointers to this post :

"Some didn’t even go out at the appointed time thinking ‘oh, it’s cloudy so its waste of going’." - We usually do this with most of the things in our life. "Oh, I will any how not get a prize, what is the use of participating?"

"Oh, we anyhow can't afford foreign trips, why talk about it or see such videos?"

"Oh, we can't afford such houses, why look at them?"

"Oh, i won't become famous as a singer or earn money out of it, why learn to sing?"

and many more ....we miss out on learning something or just watching something etc because we are always 'target oriented people'. And if our action doesn't get converted into a 'target' like we desire, we as well don't do it. That is so sad! Play for the sake of playing - not just for prize. After all, we are not professional players, so what difference does it make if we lose in office matches or in our colony? Enjoy the game! One who enjoys wins even when he loses!

Learn to sing, dance, paint or anything - not because it is 'money minting' for you - but because it can calm you. It can give you joy that no money earned can give you....trust me, don't miss out on that joy. It is so easy to reach and get. Try! Sing as if no one is listening and dance as if no one is watching!

Similarly, do pooja, exercise, cooking, cleaning joyfully not expecting any results - but since you are to do it - you as well do it with joy.

What was this exercise about?

It was not about the benefits as ‘assumed’ by some of you.

But can there be any exercise without any benefit in it? Certainly not!

So, this exercise was not just about watching sunset. It was being available to Sun set during sunset. Sun rises and Sun sets – daily. But the big question is ‘are we available to that?’ We have various reasons to miss it. But Sun doesn’t stop or delay setting because of our ‘absence’ during its setting. Isn’t it? It happens come what may. Many times, like this past one week, it being cloudy, we couldn’t even see the Sun. And yet – it did set at the appointed time. It plays its part as per ‘His order’ – no excuses whatsoever!

Every natural event happens similarly. They follow ‘His order’ and just keep moving as per their schedule. Look at all the stars, celestial bodies. Look at elements on Earth. They don’t forgo their nature. Everything moves and happens on ‘His command’.

Pointers to this post :

Watching sun set would have surely benefited but not able to also has its own fulfillment to those who were available to this exercise....read the given link to understand how we get something better when we heal but we term it as 'bad' because of our 'not being able to understand beyond time and space'. Because we can't see beyond time, we label something 'good' also as 'bad' in our ignorance and suffer what actually is good for us! what a pity!

Sadhan on sunsets

Sun did set even though we couldn’t see. We didn’t see it happen. And yet, we know it did happen. Why can’t we take this data to use to talk to our ‘so called logical mind’? If Sun does set though we didn’t see, will not happening of our life happen for sure though we can’t see them happen for now! (Hamare samaj mein nahin aane par bhi kya jo hona hai wo ho nahi saktha?)

We all have to play our part – fully and honestly. And the ‘right picture’ will emerge in the future at right time. Our worries and fear of future is based on the fact that we are not able to see ‘the future’. The questions is do we need to? Just as Sun sets though we didn’t and couldn’t see, can’t we trust Reiki, God or Universe to secure our future? Think about it!

Our worry and fear is kept alive only thanks to our baseless assumptions and imaginations. Look back at your past worries and fear. How many became true as you imagined? When you did Reiki, did not your past shape out right?

Take any incident from your past. You worried about it. You were depressed. You feared about the outcome. But you kept doing Reiki. And when the event happened, you were happy. Your fears didn’t come true! You walked past that time. So you will this time too. Just be healing yourself. Work on your worries and your fears. Address them. Question them. Look into them. Heal them. Just don’t support them with your justifications. And do Reiki for your intentions. Before long, you’ll be out of this time too! Remember, “This too shall pass!”

Points to understand :

• We fear based on assumptions. We live in our head and our imagination runs wild. Work on that. 
• Question your fear. Question the basis of your fear.
• We get angry when we fear because we support our fear and justify our fear.
• Don't fight the battle of fear. Fear is not your friend. IT IS your enemy! Know this and fight against it.
• Address fear with various techniques known to you through various classes. Do pranayamam if you can't do re-birth for any reason. Do anulom vilom, bhasrika and deep breathing. This will also address your BP and sugar problems. Your weight too will reduce. Your digestion problem is also healed. So many benefits with just one technique. 
• Fear will not go away if situation becomes 'as you want it to be'. Remember that! We presume so and become adamant that things should go as per our wish. NO! This is not the case. Fear stays with us - and comes to the forefront as and when the situation comes up.

Stop asking question like “…but when maam?..” or “but why maam..?..”

Instead realize the basis of those questions to be demanding nature and work on it.

Sun sets daily -Whether you see it or not. Same way, Reiki works – whether you believe or not! Whether you understand or not! Whether you see it or not!

Some who went to watch Sun set though it was cloudy – saw birds fly. They watched beautiful sky. They enjoyed rain and cold breeze. They enjoyed the sounds of nature. As we wait for any event to unfold, there are so many good and miraculous things happening all around us. Are we available to them? Are we aware of them? Are we enjoying them? Wait can be made painful if all you see is “but when will this happen…?’ like mindset.

But the same wait can be made beautiful if we don’t condition the event and the outcome of that situation. The day we stop conditioning everything in life, life becomes beautiful. We become aware of it when we let go off of our ‘demanding nature’ and such mindset.

So, by not being able to watch Sun set too, we gained a lot through this week.

So, are you going to be selfless, loving and flexible person or choose to suffer questions that guarantee pain and suffering? Your choice decides if ‘magic’ can happen in your life – not your maam!?

Some didn’t even go out at the appointed time thinking ‘oh, it’s cloudy so its waste of going’.

Some cursed their fate for not being able to do it because of rain. Some of them even thought it was ‘bad sign’?!

Few got angry at me for choosing this week while it was raining for this exercise.

Some cursed God for letting it rain when they had to follow their Guru’s orders!

Few went to terrace come what may, were present through the time of sunset. They watched the clouds, birds and listened to all noises around them. They even got wet in the rain. For them, they had to be there for sunset. If they can’t see it’s not their problem. They followed their Guru’s words and they celebrated there after! They came out of this week thankful and joyous. They thanked me, God and Nature for this lovely experience. They didn’t get stuck at the point “..but we didn’t see Sunset maam…” They didn’t invest their attention, awareness and energies in something that didn’t happen. They only invested in what they received, how they experienced that and how they felt about it!

Returns from this exercise :

Few among you must be waiting to hear that you’ll receive ‘X’ by way of healing as returns or benefit of this healing. That is not the returns of this exercise.

Look at images in every post - they too give out messages and answers. I am to write and address everyone's questions and emotions. Can't do one way so to some your answers are in images and to others in pointers and to some in the link....some find it in post......everyone's query, situation is addressed in a single post/article. Be open to receiving your answer once you have asked for an answer. It is found in some form - search for it and get it! Itna tho kaam karo yaar......

Pointers in this post :

"Few went to terrace come .....and how they felt about it!" - Life offers us vada pav (Indian bread delicacy worth dying for!) when we are waiting for sandwich. Grab it! Yes, sometimes - maybe with blessed few most of the times, life gives something totally different from what we are looking out for or working or dreaming about. Don't miss out on this bonus 'gift' that we received from Universe. Just be open to it. How can we 'label' SURPRISE GIFTS as unwanted or 'what I was not looking for ?' - surprise gift - whatever it is, is beautiful. Open your eyes to it. Once we learn the art of seeing beauty of 'surprises' thrown at us by the Universe, we'll start enjoying the 'fun game' that Universe engages in with each one of us. Life is a gift, open it - we'll understand then. 

Let's stop conditioning everything in life. When someone brings 'pineapple cake' don't end up saying ' but I like chocolate cake. It is gift. Appreciate the thought. Thank for the concern. Look at the effort of that person. Instead we end up putting all that in trash by saying 'but he spoiled my perfect idea of birthday by bringing in chocolate cake'. Listen to yourself! Life is giving in abundance don't throw it away with such tantrums and then say 'but why no miracle happens in my life maam?'

On retirement

Plan as if you are to live hundred years and live as if today is your last day of your life!

This applies both to your working years and retirement years. While you are working don’t forget to live your life. Never forget to play with your kid. Watch sunsets as many times as possible. Stand and listen to birds sing early in the morning. Take time to call your dear ones regularly. We work to live life comfortably and fully. But if our livelihood becomes the ‘be all of our existence’ and savings the only goal worth working for, then we would be left with fat bank balance and years lost in drudgery. And the pity being that bank balance goes to either some doctor or to some kith and kin who is to blow it off without having to work for it! Think about it! Is it worth it?

So live your life. Don’t live so that others get to blow up your money! Then what do we do? First work is a way to earn your livelihood. Remember that! It is not the purpose of your life. This is the case with majority of people. To the few who know good, their work itself is their passion and purpose of life. They never work and they enjoy their work and hence treat it as play and maybe that’s why they never tire inspite of working for 18-20 hrs/day.

For others, live your life as you also save for your tomorrow. Next important task is to develop a hobby for retirement. Never, I repeat, never ever plan to while away your time sitting idle or doing mundane routine. As you live your days, set aside atleast 10-15mts day/week to think about your passion, talent, expertise or anything that you can put to good use after retirement. It can be as simple as teaching to kids or reading. Fine! Then look for avenues to teach kids after retirement. Join Teach India or any NGO near your place or just walk into any govt. School or orphanage and ask if they need a teacher. You’ll certainly not be insulted – for sure! At the most they may say “we don’t need one now”. You can do all this for free as you would’ve earned enough through the years. Else, charge nominal or go to some play school and earn good money. You can also give tuitions at home. The scope is so much. This is just one suggestion. You chose your area of work and pleasure. Please put your expertise, knowhow to good use. You’ll feel satisfied. Five stars to your self esteem and worthiness.

Me, my Guru – As you like it

The other had same question regarding his career, job, purchase of an asset etc. These people were where I was few years ago – lacking clarity of thought.

And the answer to address that problem was so simple. Be with various techniques and be in healing. Way will open up on its own! We all had experienced it many times before.

The problem lay in the fact that we chose to look the other way! We didn’t’ go into that part of past to build our trust. But we visited our past to increase our fear, anger, sadness, pain, frustration and hatred.

Clearly ‘our choices’ made all the difference. And the choice that we made reflected our character…..yet we argued based on this mind that was making such choices that pushed us further into desperation?

Today some went home angry and dissatisfied.

While others found their answers. They discussed about it. They were glad and happy about it.

Only couple of them applied and benefited in real sense. Our Guru retired into her quarters to come up with another story, another explanation to break us from our sleep and ignorance. It was for time to see if her patience gave way first or our ignorance. Smiling at this thought we left her place……
