And we are so happy that you'rehere.
Pam (00:57):
So guys, on this week's podcast and Reiki share, I
wanted to talk about pain.
I came across a blog post byElizabeth Peru.
She's an astrologer in Australiathat I follow.
And she really had a uniqueperspective on the origins of
pain.
And when I realized that, Ithought.
(01:18):
It would be amazing to share itwith all of you and then follow
it up with a Reiki meditation.
Once we have identified theorigins of any pain that exists
in your body, and that can bemental, physical, spiritual, or
emotional in your body or youraura, wherever the pain is, your
heart and.
(01:38):
We should be able to eliminateit.
And of course, this is somethingfor those of you who practice
Reiki this is something you canmost likely share with your
friends and family.
And so we're gonna do anexperiment with that tonight and
see how it works for everybody.
And we'll actually gauge whatour pain levels are at the
beginning and at the end of themeditation and just see how we
(02:01):
do recognizing that.
know, Sometimes the pain hasbeen there for a while.
It may take more than onesession or more than one.
Listen.
But we will go from there.
So I'm so glad to see all of youguys who have shown up for the
Reiki share.
Thank you for being with us, andif anybody would like to join us
for our monthly Reiki share.
(02:23):
Please go ahead, sign up for ournewsletter and you can also sign
up for that on our website.
We'd love to have you join us.
And I just wanted to let youknow a little bit about what's
happening on the farm before weactivate our Reiki and go into
our talk today.
In January we've got a fulllineup of online classes in the
Eastern Time zone Reiki, levelOne and two, and Reiki Masters
(02:45):
Animal Reiki, one and two andMasters, and also Animal
Communication.
And just into the beginning ofFebruary, there is a Kaurna
Reiki class for anybody whowould like.
To do an advanced Reikimasterclass.
Sometimes people get confused,but you need to be a Reiki
master from any lineage for atleast six months before studying
(03:06):
Kaurna Reiki.
Kaurna Reiki is a reallyadvanced masterclass that seems
to change everything and makelife.
even more lovely and effortlessthan Reiki is even able to just
brings things to a higher level.
So I'd love to have you join usand if we have any listeners
from Australia, I am gonna becoming your way in March and I
(03:28):
would love to have you join usjust doing licensed level one
and two and masterclass,followed by an animal Reiki
class.
And if there's enough interest Iwould also do an animal
communication class there.
Recently our animalcommunication class really
expanded, so keep an eye onthings.
For those of you who've alreadystudied it, I will be doing an
(03:49):
upgrade sometime between now andMarch, probably closer to March,
but we'll see.
And also I am in the process ofwriting an the animal
communication book and somesupporting course materials
right now.
And that's going to be ongoing,but the course is expanding.
There will be a one day masterpractitioner class probably
(04:12):
around the same time in March,and that will be followed this
summer or early fall.
With a master teacher class withanimal communications.
So it took a big shift when Itaught it last weekend or the
weekend before last.
And in that shift it took onmore the structure of a Reiki.
(04:33):
Stay tuned for that.
That's in the developmentprocess.
Of course you can get the Reikibusiness book on Amazon if
you're interested in makingReiki a little more a part of
your career.
And I think that's all that Ihad for announcements right now,
aside from letting you know thatmy daughter has come into as a
(04:56):
partner in my essential oilbusiness, and we are working on
our website.
So I'll keep you updated on thatand I might even have her join
me.
For a future podcast to let herknow, let you guys know how we
put Reiki in our essential oils,how you can buy them, how you
can make your own Reiki infusedin essential oils.
So stay tuned.
(05:16):
There's a lot cooking.
There's a lot in process.
So just talking about pain.
I'm gonna invite everyone tothink about.
Where they're, they have pain intheir lives.
And just go ahead and bring yourhands into Gassho, activating
(05:36):
your Reiki energy and bringingin your Reiki symbols and
breathe.
(05:58):
And just acknowledging thatpain, whether it's physical,
emotional, mental, or spiritual,can sometimes be a necessary
part of growth and development.
But, It is possible to reducepainful experiences and instead
focus on joyful experiences toachieve growth and fulfillment.
(06:20):
And today we are asking to makethat shift, to release that
duality and make a shift frompain based learning to joy based
learning.
And I'd just like you to thinkagain of where the pain might
(06:43):
exist in your body.
It might be in your heart, yourmind, your body, your spirit,
and just be open to consideringletting it go and considering a
new way of working.
(07:06):
Learning and growing so that youcan let go of the pain and just
go ahead and place your handscomfortably on your body and
come back into the room.
Just as I let you know a littlebit about our culture and where
(07:28):
this all comes from.
Whenever we feel pain, themessage behind pain is that it's
a warning system.
That's something wrong with yourflow of energy.
And so when we do feel thatwarning system, it's our nervous
(07:52):
system just letting us knowthere's something out of
alignment, there's something notworking, and.
Many of us have become so usedto pain and even attached to
pain that we become oblivious towhat's causing it, and we aren't
(08:15):
aware that it is trying to bringsome lesson or message or
teaching into our lives.
One of the things we need to doif we really and truly want to
release pain is be open toexamining the origin or cause of
(08:38):
the pain before it gets worse.
This is our body letting us knowsomething's outta flow,
something's not working withyou, and we'll get into a little
detail about what that might.
So what Elizabeth Peru wastalking about is that from the
perspective of pain being a toolthat can show us where we're out
(09:03):
of alignment, this the pain isactually something that can
assist us in having a healthybody.
Now, I'd like to tell you thatmany years ago, in my twenties,
I believe I was 24 when I wasdiagnosed with fibromyalgia.
And for those of you who maybearen't familiar with
(09:25):
fibromyalgia, it is a sign thatthat of not being aligned for
sure, but fibromyalgia comeswith a significant amount of
chronic pain.
Reiki really helped me reducethat chronic pain so that it was
probably about, on average, 10to 15% of what it used to be.
(09:49):
But Reiki also helped mediscover that I have a, a.
Sensitivity to gluten, andespecially at this time of year,
it's really difficult not to eatgluten.
And so I, I don't always payattention to that sensitivity.
I mostly do, but sometimes Idon't.
(10:11):
And what happens is that willoften bring a flare up of the
pain, and there are so manypeople.
That are, that do experiencechronic pain and so on.
And so it makes me wonder iffollowing Elizabeth's guidance
(10:33):
and saying wait, what is out ofalignment here and looking to
address what is out ofalignment?
Can we then move away from thepain?
And I think the answer is goingto be yes.
Right now we're just doing agreat big experiment with it.
Now, Elizabeth talked aboutdifferent levels and types of
(10:55):
pain and the importance offiguring out what the root cause
is of the pain and correctingthe reason that the pain came in
the first place.
And then she went on to give usa few examples.
Like she talked about one of thecauses of pain being our
spiritual longing for home.
(11:17):
Mo, many of us have this deepknowing that even though Earth
is our physical home right now,that we also have a spiritual
home.
And it's often below the levelof consciousness that we long
for it There, there is thissense of longing within it.
Within us.
A lot of us feel a longing evento just be able to be ourselves,
(11:42):
our unique selves with ourunique gifts and talents.
And so it's places like this,group, wonderful groups like
this one where.
We can feel a little more athome, but there is often this
sort of longing for home andsometimes it can go a little
further and even move into acrisis.
(12:05):
And we have this spiritualawakening or spiritual wake up
call.
She calls it.
And I think a lot of you who arelistening.
Probably had something like thatled for you to reach out to
Reiki.
Some people just follow theirintuition and reach out to
Reiki, but a lot of us needed tomove into crisis before we did.
(12:27):
I didn't get into Reiki until Ihad such painful rashes on my
face and such inflamed sinusesand allergy symptoms and
physical pain.
That I was willing to tryanything.
And that's not uncommon for someof us to have moved into a
crisis in order to receive ourspiritual wake up call.
(12:51):
And then that sets us onto thislifelong journey of connecting
with our soul and and choosingsoul over personality.
So let me explain this.
It's really interesting and Ilove how Elizabeth put it.
She talked about the fact thatwe are our soul.
(13:16):
We're a thinking, feeling allintelligent, ever evolving,
being of the light.
Our body is created through thesouls.
And I always used to think ofour soul as being something,
small within us.
And speaking with ColleenBenelli, one day, she gave me a
(13:37):
completely new perspective andshe said, no, our body is within
the soul.
The soul is much larger.
And but what happens though, aswe are living our life, the same
soul that created our body alsocreated an identity for us,
which Elizabeth calls thepersonality and the identity and
(14:03):
personality is the way weexpress ourselves and it's, and.
The way that we learn, and thisis a vessel for the expression
of our soul's wisdom, but manyof us are probably aware that
there can be a differencebetween what your head wants and
(14:25):
what your heart wants.
We always hear of that, my headwants to do this, my heart wants
to do that.
And the way.
We're set up to be is that thesoul is set up to be in charge
and the personality is meant totake direction from the soul.
(14:45):
But for many of us, anddefinitely for me and so
probably for quite a few of youas well, my personality tries to
run the show.
It's very ambitious.
It likes to get a lot of thingsdone.
And that's not uncommon.
It happens a lot that our headrules the heart.
(15:09):
In fact, there is an opportunityfor them to work together, and
that's what we're going to bedoing in our Reiki session
today.
Now, thinking about pain, justgoing back to think about pain,
let's also look at the factthat.
(15:30):
It has to do with our beliefsystem.
And so thinking about the.
Fact that so many of ourexpressions, like the way that
we govern society, the way thatwe govern ourselves are things
(15:50):
like, no pain, no gain.
There's even a song, whatdoesn't kill you, makes you
stronger.
And we talk about, strength andthe ability.
And so it's become endemicwithin our society to ignore.
Ignore the messages from thebody and so on.
And so the personality reallygets ingrained and and then we
(16:14):
have this belief system thatwill know we need pain.
And then on top of that, ourpersonality becomes so used to
pain that it expects it, and wefall into pattern.
And so we'll go ahead and dosomething again and again.
And when society applauds ourability to handle pain, like we,
(16:38):
we don't necessarily look at thefact that pain.
Is trying to tell us there'ssomething out of alignment.
And what is it?
Is it the personality takingcharge and not listening?
Is it the head not listening tothe heart?
What's happening here?
And there are other examples aswell, I'm sure, but I thought we
(16:59):
would just focus on these onestonight.
So we expect life to be painful.
The personality has largelybecome attuned to.
And ignores it.
And then on top of that, thepersonality doesn't like change.
(17:21):
So the personality is going tocontinue repeating what's
familiar and safe.
And so It just even, and maybeespecially if it causes.
Our personality likes to knowwhat it's doing.
It likes, it's a bit of aperfectionist.
(17:42):
It doesn't like to makemistakes, and it wants to keep
the soul and the body safe andsecure.
It's like this watchdog, and soit tries to keep recreating the
familiar.
That's why so many of us feelfear when we're stepping into
something that's not familiar tous.
(18:03):
When.
The personality becomesdisconnected from the soul,
which eventually, often happens.
It doesn't have the ability anylonger to realize that the
familiar might be what's causingyou pain.
I still love fresh bakedcroissants and homemade bread,
(18:27):
even though eating them causesme an incredible amount of pain.
So the personality just doesn'trealize that.
So therefore we keep attractingdisempowering situations, things
that cause pain.
And we're not connected enoughwith the soul to even always
(18:48):
realize where the misalignmenthas taken place.
Now, the soul, on the otherhand, loves change.
And if I think about it, so manyaspects of my Reiki journey
Reiki is constantly.
Moving me into a place ofdiscomfort, moving me into
something that I'm afraid of or,definitely not comfortable with.
(19:13):
And I think that's becausethat's the personality and soul.
I think that Reiki is aligningus more with our soul, taking us
out of the comfort zone making.
I used to hate change, butmaking us, change those patterns
that weren't healthy for us orthat were causing pain and so
on.
(19:33):
But Elizabeth talks about herbelief that the solution is
actually inside us if we canbring the consciousness our head
into our heart space.
we'll then decompress a bit fromthe outside world, begin to be
able to connect with andcommunicate our inside with our
(19:56):
inside world a little bit more.
She even recommends things likehaving a daily meeting with your
soul, like sitting down andsaying, Hey, what does my soul
want to do today?
One of the things that I'venoticed is that since reading
her blog post I'm much moreaware.
of which portions of my day arebeing guided by the personality
(20:18):
and which portions are beingguided by the soul.
And I give them equal time Ikinda say, you know what?
My personality wants to get achapter written today, but my
soul really wants to have a longwalk with the dogs or a bike
ride or horseback ride, and I'vebeen just working to give my
soul at least equal time andjust chuckling at how my
(20:41):
personality handles thingsversus how my soul handles
things.
And so that's those are some ofthe things that she talked
about.
But then I got realizing thatwith Reiki, we can move.
Head and our heart intoalignment and we can really, in
(21:04):
particular, examine any part ofour lives that are painful.
And ask like, where is themisalignment with this?
When I was diagnosed withfibromyalgia, I was in a job
that was crushing my soul.
It was a job.
Sorry, but it was working forthe government and It really
(21:28):
didn't make me happy and therewas nothing wrong with the job.
I had wonderful people that Iworked with, but it really
wasn't what I came here to do.
Now that I get to work withbeautiful people like you every
day my soul is singing and aslong as I stay away from gluten
I don't experience very muchpain anymore.
(21:49):
So that's what we want to dotoday.
And the thing that you can, thatyou realize is that if, in
addition to that, if you canconsider letting go of the
belief that pain is good.
The belief that we need toexperience pain in order to grow
and so on then we can move andshift that completely so that we
(22:12):
can begin to learn through joy.
One of the ways to know thatyou're aligned with soul and
you're aligned with your soul'spurpose is joy I'm going to
invite you in the meditation orin even right now to think about
where does joy show up for you.
I recently had a student whosaid, joy shows up when I
volunteer with the S P C A, andit's great, that is in alignment
(22:34):
with your soul.
Do more of that other, I've hadother students.
Joy is when I work withchildren.
Fantastic.
That.
Where your soul is aligned, domore of that.
For me, joy is when I teachReiki joy is when I work with
horses.
Joy is when I help people andtheir animals.
(22:54):
Joy is when I blend essentialoils.
So I really am very fortunatethat Reiki has helped me move
into alignment.
With my sole purpose, and forthe most part, I find that I
don't need pain as much to learnfrom.
Instead, I look for, oh, where'sthe joy showing up?
(23:16):
Okay, I want to do more of that.
And Elizabeth actually had thisstatement.
I truly believe that the way ofthe enlightened.
Human is to learn through joyand not pain.
And if you think about it, shetalks about the fact that we've
had tens of thousands of yearsof learning through the pain
(23:36):
model.
But now that we're crossing intothe aquarium astrological area
of light and the higher densityrealities are releasing, the
time to learn through joy iscoming.
And so that's really what I wantto move us all into alignment
(23:57):
with today.
So I'm just gonna invite you totake a moment now as we go into
our meditation.
Closing your eyes, placing yourhands comfortably on your body
if they've, if they're not stillthere, and just allowing Reiki
(24:18):
to flow through you.
And I invite you to think rightnow of just one place that pain
shows up in your body.
And if you can think of thatone.
(24:38):
just going in, and it may notshow up in your body.
It may show up in your mind,your heart, your emotions, your
spirit, but wherever it shows upin your mind, body, spirit,
soul, emotions.
(24:59):
I'd just like you to think ofone aspect of pain.
And ask yourself, if the causeof this pain existed in my body,
where would it be?
And it's just the first thingthat comes to mind before you
second guess it with your eyesclosed.
(25:22):
Just looking into that area thatthe pain shows up.
And if you're not sure, justguess it's okay to do that.
The, with the distant symbolthat we'll be using tonight, it
will find it.
And if the cause of this painhad a shape, what shape would it
(25:43):
have?
Once again, it's just the firstshape that comes to your mind.
And if that shape had a color,what color would it be?
The surface texture be rough orsmooth.
(26:09):
Is it heavy or tight or sharp oruncomfortable in any way?
Are you willing to let the paingo today along with.
The belief that pain is helpfuland positive and good, are you
(26:30):
willing to let it go?
And to also let go of the beliefso that you can make a shift to
spiritual growth throughrecognizing joy.
And finally, if that shape had amessage for.
(26:55):
What would it be?
Where are you out of alignment?
We're gonna go into ourmeditation today and just listen
for the answer to that.
So I invite you to imagine nowthat it's a beautiful, warm,
sunny day, and that you'rewalking through a beautiful
(27:18):
forest that's filled with Reikienergy.
The light of the heavens and thelight of the divine earth are
here, and they flow into yourbody on your breath, as does the
life essence of the forest.
And you walk along until youcome to a clearing in the
(27:42):
forest, and in the middle of theclearing is a small hill covered
with soft grass and beautifulwild flowers, and there's a
gorgeous and enormous tree oflife on the top of that small
hill.
I invite you to climb up the.
And as you do, you just noticethe feeling of the grass and the
(28:05):
wildflowers brushing againstyour legs.
And when you get to the top ofthe hill, you step under the
thick canopy of the beautifultree of life, stretches up to
the heavens and circles backdown to the earth again.
And you realize that under thatcanop, Is the divine animal
(28:30):
kingdom.
All of the beautiful divineanimals that made themselves,
made us aware of them as wecreated the I C R T Animal Reiki
course.
And these beautiful divineanimals are here to assist you
(28:54):
in moving into alignment.
An alignment with your soul'spurpose for if you think of
animals, they tend to live intheir true nature's cat living
in its cat nature, a dog in itsdog nature, a deer in its dear
nature.
(29:18):
And so we can move intoalignment with our human nature
and into alignment with oursoul's purpose at the same time.
You look down and you noticethat the roots of the tree of
life are massive and that theycome up to the surface, and when
(29:40):
you look a little closer, yourealize that they are in the
pattern of a beautiful flower oflife.
Ave.
Pisces, which is the.
Space when two circles overlap,I invite you to find a spot
(30:02):
amongst the roots that your bodyfits into beautifully in this
beautiful flower of life.
And as you do, the roots come uparound you a little bit, and it
feels as though the divine earthembraces.
Do you notice that the rootsbegin to glow and you realize
(30:26):
this is no ordinary light.
It's the light from the heart ofthe divine mother, the earth,
and it shines all around you andeven seems to shine through you.
And at the same time, abeautiful beam of light pierces
the thick canopy of leaves ofthe.
(30:49):
And it shines on you and allaround you, and you realize that
this too is no ordinary light.
This is the light from the heartof God, and you feel very safe
and comfortable, and you feelheld in the arms of the earth
and held in the heart of God atthe same time.
(31:10):
And your own personal energycomes in close to you now.
So that just skims your skin andas it does this, the projections
and expectations and of othersjust drop away from you and they
fault of a thirsty earth wherethey are absorbed and they will
(31:37):
do something useful andbeautiful.
Open a flower or hatch a chickor germinate a seed, and you're
like, oh, of any energies thatyou're holding on behalf of
others as well.
And you let the belief that painis positive sink into the earth,
(32:01):
it just drops out of you.
And into the earth.
I invite you to now listen tothe message that your pain body
(32:22):
has for you about where you maybe out of alignment.
And at the same time, we invitethe disparate parts of ourselves
to move into alignment aheadwith the heart, the personality
(32:43):
and soul, each of the chakras,the intellect and the intuition,
all of the things that sometimescompete with each other.
Move in different directions.
We invite them all to move intoalignment as you listen for the
(33:04):
message that this pain has cometo impart to you, and we'll
remain here for a while.
(38:17):
And if you have heard yourmessage, and even if you
haven't.
Invite you to focus on thatshape now and just be willing to
let it move into the light if ithasn't already begun to do and
sometimes the message doesn'tcome to us during our
(38:37):
meditation.
Sometimes it comes later whenwe're doing something else and
not thinking about it.
So whether you understand theorigin or.
Just let the pain energy knowthat you will be listening for
(38:57):
it and just be willing to let itgo.
Now we invite the light of joyto move through us now and
become our new operating system.
(39:23):
So that we can go through thepain that exists within us one
by one using this meditation oryour daily self Reiki or
whatever works for you, and letthem go and move into utilizing
(39:44):
joy.
As a method of understandingwhere alignment occurs rather
than being focused on themisalignment.
So the light of joy movesthrough us and begins to guide
(40:04):
you.
Follow the guidance of joyconsidering all of the things in
your life that give you joy orthat used.
For that you hope will one dayand we'll spend some time here.
(41:03):
We invite the light of Ray Kateto just reduce.
Inflammation and pain that maybewe haven't got to yet, but we
will do so and we invite therepairs that are necessary
(41:30):
physically, spiritually,mentally, and emotionally.
(42:23):
Invite you to stay here as longas you'd like, and when you feel
ready, you can return.
And upon your return, I inviteyou to ask yourself what
percentage of that pain remainsthat shape that you started
(42:47):
with?
Once again, you're just going toask for a number between zero
and a hundred.
The first one that comes to yourmind if you have a high number.
Go ahead and just continuelistening to this until that
particular shape is eliminatedcompletely.
But if it is a low number,anything, 20% or under, there's
(43:10):
a good chance that it's going tobe completely eliminated by
tomorrow.
By tomorrow.
And so I wish you.
Good fortune as you go ahead andcontinue working on these pain
bodies, these shapes, theseorigins of pain until they're
(43:34):
eliminated completely.
And I hope that this reallyhelps you recognize just that
difference between soul andpersonality and just making sure
that your.
Is the one leading the shots andthat it gets an equal voice and
(43:56):
that we begin to be open to thepossibility of not needing pain
to learn from that.
Instead, we can follow the joy.
Thank you so much for being herewith me today, Namaste.

wanted to talk about pain.
I came across a blog post byElizabeth Peru.
She's an astrologer in Australiathat I follow.

emotional in your body or youraura, wherever the pain is, your
heart and.
(01:38):
We should be able to eliminateit.
And of course, this is somethingfor those of you who practice
Reiki this is something you canmost likely share with your
friends and family.
And so we're gonna do anexperiment with that tonight and
see how it works for everybody.
And we'll actually gauge whatour pain levels are at the
beginning and at the end of themeditation and just see how we
(02:01):
do recognizing that.
know, Sometimes the pain hasbeen there for a while.
It may take more than onesession or more than one.
Listen.
But we will go from there.
So I'm so glad to see all of youguys who have shown up for the
Reiki share.
Thank you for being with us, andif anybody would like to join us
for our monthly Reiki share.
(02:23):
Please go ahead, sign up for ournewsletter and you can also sign
up for that on our website.
We'd love to have you join us.
And I just wanted to let youknow a little bit about what's
happening on the farm before weactivate our Reiki and go into
our talk today.
In January we've got a fulllineup of online classes in the
Eastern Time zone Reiki, levelOne and two, and Reiki Masters
(02:45):
Animal Reiki, one and two andMasters, and also Animal
Communication.
And just into the beginning ofFebruary, there is a Kaurna
Reiki class for anybody whowould like.
To do an advanced Reikimasterclass.
Sometimes people get confused,but you need to be a Reiki
master from any lineage for atleast six months before studying
(03:06):
Kaurna Reiki.
Kaurna Reiki is a reallyadvanced masterclass that seems
to change everything and makelife.
even more lovely and effortlessthan Reiki is even able to just
brings things to a higher level.
So I'd love to have you join usand if we have any listeners
from Australia, I am gonna becoming your way in March and I
(03:28):
would love to have you join usjust doing licensed level one
and two and masterclass,followed by an animal Reiki
class.
And if there's enough interest Iwould also do an animal
communication class there.
Recently our animalcommunication class really
expanded, so keep an eye onthings.
For those of you who've alreadystudied it, I will be doing an
(03:49):
upgrade sometime between now andMarch, probably closer to March,
but we'll see.
And also I am in the process ofwriting an the animal
communication book and somesupporting course materials
right now.
And that's going to be ongoing,but the course is expanding.
There will be a one day masterpractitioner class probably
(04:12):
around the same time in March,and that will be followed this
summer or early fall.
With a master teacher class withanimal communications.
So it took a big shift when Itaught it last weekend or the
weekend before last.
And in that shift it took onmore the structure of a Reiki.
(04:33):
Stay tuned for that.
That's in the developmentprocess.
Of course you can get the Reikibusiness book on Amazon if
you're interested in makingReiki a little more a part of
your career.
And I think that's all that Ihad for announcements right now,
aside from letting you know thatmy daughter has come into as a
(04:56):
partner in my essential oilbusiness, and we are working on
our website.
So I'll keep you updated on thatand I might even have her join
me.
For a future podcast to let herknow, let you guys know how we
put Reiki in our essential oils,how you can buy them, how you
can make your own Reiki infusedin essential oils.
So stay tuned.
(05:16):
There's a lot cooking.
There's a lot in process.
So just talking about pain.
I'm gonna invite everyone tothink about.
Where they're, they have pain intheir lives.
And just go ahead and bring yourhands into Gassho, activating
(05:36):
your Reiki energy and bringingin your Reiki symbols and
breathe.
(05:58):
And just acknowledging thatpain, whether it's physical,
emotional, mental, or spiritual,can sometimes be a necessary
part of growth and development.
But, It is possible to reducepainful experiences and instead
focus on joyful experiences toachieve growth and fulfillment.
(06:20):
And today we are asking to makethat shift, to release that
duality and make a shift frompain based learning to joy based
learning.
And I'd just like you to thinkagain of where the pain might
(06:43):
exist in your body.
It might be in your heart, yourmind, your body, your spirit,
and just be open to consideringletting it go and considering a
new way of working.
(07:06):
Learning and growing so that youcan let go of the pain and just
go ahead and place your handscomfortably on your body and
come back into the room.
Just as I let you know a littlebit about our culture and where
(07:28):
this all comes from.
Whenever we feel pain, themessage behind pain is that it's
a warning system.
That's something wrong with yourflow of energy.
And so when we do feel thatwarning system, it's our nervous
(07:52):
system just letting us knowthere's something out of
alignment, there's something notworking, and.
Many of us have become so usedto pain and even attached to
pain that we become oblivious towhat's causing it, and we aren't
(08:15):
aware that it is trying to bringsome lesson or message or
teaching into our lives.
One of the things we need to doif we really and truly want to
release pain is be open toexamining the origin or cause of
(08:38):
the pain before it gets worse.
This is our body letting us knowsomething's outta flow,
something's not working withyou, and we'll get into a little
detail about what that might.
So what Elizabeth Peru wastalking about is that from the
perspective of pain being a toolthat can show us where we're out
(09:03):
of alignment, this the pain isactually something that can
assist us in having a healthybody.
Now, I'd like to tell you thatmany years ago, in my twenties,
I believe I was 24 when I wasdiagnosed with fibromyalgia.
And for those of you who maybearen't familiar with
(09:25):
fibromyalgia, it is a sign thatthat of not being aligned for
sure, but fibromyalgia comeswith a significant amount of
chronic pain.
Reiki really helped me reducethat chronic pain so that it was
probably about, on average, 10to 15% of what it used to be.
(09:49):
But Reiki also helped mediscover that I have a, a.
Sensitivity to gluten, andespecially at this time of year,
it's really difficult not to eatgluten.
And so I, I don't always payattention to that sensitivity.
I mostly do, but sometimes Idon't.
(10:11):
And what happens is that willoften bring a flare up of the
pain, and there are so manypeople.
That are, that do experiencechronic pain and so on.
And so it makes me wonder iffollowing Elizabeth's guidance
(10:33):
and saying wait, what is out ofalignment here and looking to
address what is out ofalignment?
Can we then move away from thepain?
And I think the answer is goingto be yes.
Right now we're just doing agreat big experiment with it.
Now, Elizabeth talked aboutdifferent levels and types of
(10:55):
pain and the importance offiguring out what the root cause
is of the pain and correctingthe reason that the pain came in
the first place.
And then she went on to give usa few examples.
Like she talked about one of thecauses of pain being our
spiritual longing for home.
(11:17):
Mo, many of us have this deepknowing that even though Earth
is our physical home right now,that we also have a spiritual
home.
And it's often below the levelof consciousness that we long
for it There, there is thissense of longing within it.
Within us.
A lot of us feel a longing evento just be able to be ourselves,
(11:42):
our unique selves with ourunique gifts and talents.
And so it's places like this,group, wonderful groups like
this one where.
We can feel a little more athome, but there is often this
sort of longing for home andsometimes it can go a little
further and even move into acrisis.
(12:05):
And we have this spiritualawakening or spiritual wake up
call.
She calls it.
And I think a lot of you who arelistening.
Probably had something like thatled for you to reach out to
Reiki.
Some people just follow theirintuition and reach out to
Reiki, but a lot of us needed tomove into crisis before we did.
(12:27):
I didn't get into Reiki until Ihad such painful rashes on my
face and such inflamed sinusesand allergy symptoms and
physical pain.
That I was willing to tryanything.
And that's not uncommon for someof us to have moved into a
crisis in order to receive ourspiritual wake up call.
(12:51):
And then that sets us onto thislifelong journey of connecting
with our soul and and choosingsoul over personality.
So let me explain this.
It's really interesting and Ilove how Elizabeth put it.
She talked about the fact thatwe are our soul.
(13:16):
We're a thinking, feeling allintelligent, ever evolving,
being of the light.
Our body is created through thesouls.
And I always used to think ofour soul as being something,
small within us.
And speaking with ColleenBenelli, one day, she gave me a
(13:37):
completely new perspective andshe said, no, our body is within
the soul.
The soul is much larger.
And but what happens though, aswe are living our life, the same
soul that created our body alsocreated an identity for us,
which Elizabeth calls thepersonality and the identity and
(14:03):
personality is the way weexpress ourselves and it's, and.
The way that we learn, and thisis a vessel for the expression
of our soul's wisdom, but manyof us are probably aware that
there can be a differencebetween what your head wants and
(14:25):
what your heart wants.
We always hear of that, my headwants to do this, my heart wants
to do that.
And the way.
We're set up to be is that thesoul is set up to be in charge
and the personality is meant totake direction from the soul.
(14:45):
But for many of us, anddefinitely for me and so
probably for quite a few of youas well, my personality tries to
run the show.
It's very ambitious.
It likes to get a lot of thingsdone.
And that's not uncommon.
It happens a lot that our headrules the heart.
(15:09):
In fact, there is an opportunityfor them to work together, and
that's what we're going to bedoing in our Reiki session
today.
Now, thinking about pain, justgoing back to think about pain,
let's also look at the factthat.
(15:30):
It has to do with our beliefsystem.
And so thinking about the.
Fact that so many of ourexpressions, like the way that
we govern society, the way thatwe govern ourselves are things
(15:50):
like, no pain, no gain.
There's even a song, whatdoesn't kill you, makes you
stronger.
And we talk about, strength andthe ability.
And so it's become endemicwithin our society to ignore.
Ignore the messages from thebody and so on.
And so the personality reallygets ingrained and and then we
(16:14):
have this belief system thatwill know we need pain.
And then on top of that, ourpersonality becomes so used to
pain that it expects it, and wefall into pattern.
And so we'll go ahead and dosomething again and again.
And when society applauds ourability to handle pain, like we,
(16:38):
we don't necessarily look at thefact that pain.
Is trying to tell us there'ssomething out of alignment.
And what is it?
Is it the personality takingcharge and not listening?
Is it the head not listening tothe heart?
What's happening here?
And there are other examples aswell, I'm sure, but I thought we
(16:59):
would just focus on these onestonight.
So we expect life to be painful.
The personality has largelybecome attuned to.
And ignores it.
And then on top of that, thepersonality doesn't like change.
(17:21):
So the personality is going tocontinue repeating what's
familiar and safe.
And so It just even, and maybeespecially if it causes.
Our personality likes to knowwhat it's doing.
It likes, it's a bit of aperfectionist.
(17:42):
It doesn't like to makemistakes, and it wants to keep
the soul and the body safe andsecure.
It's like this watchdog, and soit tries to keep recreating the
familiar.
That's why so many of us feelfear when we're stepping into
something that's not familiar tous.
(18:03):
When.
The personality becomesdisconnected from the soul,
which eventually, often happens.
It doesn't have the ability anylonger to realize that the
familiar might be what's causingyou pain.
I still love fresh bakedcroissants and homemade bread,
(18:27):
even though eating them causesme an incredible amount of pain.
So the personality just doesn'trealize that.
So therefore we keep attractingdisempowering situations, things
that cause pain.
And we're not connected enoughwith the soul to even always
(18:48):
realize where the misalignmenthas taken place.
Now, the soul, on the otherhand, loves change.
And if I think about it, so manyaspects of my Reiki journey
Reiki is constantly.
Moving me into a place ofdiscomfort, moving me into
something that I'm afraid of or,definitely not comfortable with.
(19:13):
And I think that's becausethat's the personality and soul.
I think that Reiki is aligningus more with our soul, taking us
out of the comfort zone making.
I used to hate change, butmaking us, change those patterns
that weren't healthy for us orthat were causing pain and so
on.
(19:33):
But Elizabeth talks about herbelief that the solution is
actually inside us if we canbring the consciousness our head
into our heart space.
we'll then decompress a bit fromthe outside world, begin to be
able to connect with andcommunicate our inside with our
(19:56):
inside world a little bit more.
She even recommends things likehaving a daily meeting with your
soul, like sitting down andsaying, Hey, what does my soul
want to do today?
One of the things that I'venoticed is that since reading
her blog post I'm much moreaware.
of which portions of my day arebeing guided by the personality
(20:18):
and which portions are beingguided by the soul.
And I give them equal time Ikinda say, you know what?
My personality wants to get achapter written today, but my
soul really wants to have a longwalk with the dogs or a bike
ride or horseback ride, and I'vebeen just working to give my
soul at least equal time andjust chuckling at how my
(20:41):
personality handles thingsversus how my soul handles
things.
And so that's those are some ofthe things that she talked
about.
But then I got realizing thatwith Reiki, we can move.
Head and our heart intoalignment and we can really, in
(21:04):
particular, examine any part ofour lives that are painful.
And ask like, where is themisalignment with this?
When I was diagnosed withfibromyalgia, I was in a job
that was crushing my soul.
It was a job.
Sorry, but it was working forthe government and It really
(21:28):
didn't make me happy and therewas nothing wrong with the job.
I had wonderful people that Iworked with, but it really
wasn't what I came here to do.
Now that I get to work withbeautiful people like you every
day my soul is singing and aslong as I stay away from gluten
I don't experience very muchpain anymore.
(21:49):
So that's what we want to dotoday.
And the thing that you can, thatyou realize is that if, in
addition to that, if you canconsider letting go of the
belief that pain is good.
The belief that we need toexperience pain in order to grow
and so on then we can move andshift that completely so that we
(22:12):
can begin to learn through joy.
One of the ways to know thatyou're aligned with soul and
you're aligned with your soul'spurpose is joy I'm going to
invite you in the meditation orin even right now to think about
where does joy show up for you.
I recently had a student whosaid, joy shows up when I
volunteer with the S P C A, andit's great, that is in alignment
(22:34):
with your soul.
Do more of that other, I've hadother students.
Joy is when I work withchildren.
Fantastic.
That.
Where your soul is aligned, domore of that.
For me, joy is when I teachReiki joy is when I work with
horses.
Joy is when I help people andtheir animals.
(22:54):
Joy is when I blend essentialoils.
So I really am very fortunatethat Reiki has helped me move
into alignment.
With my sole purpose, and forthe most part, I find that I
don't need pain as much to learnfrom.
Instead, I look for, oh, where'sthe joy showing up?
(23:16):
Okay, I want to do more of that.
And Elizabeth actually had thisstatement.
I truly believe that the way ofthe enlightened.
Human is to learn through joyand not pain.
And if you think about it, shetalks about the fact that we've
had tens of thousands of yearsof learning through the pain
(23:36):
model.
But now that we're crossing intothe aquarium astrological area
of light and the higher densityrealities are releasing, the
time to learn through joy iscoming.
And so that's really what I wantto move us all into alignment
(23:57):
with today.
So I'm just gonna invite you totake a moment now as we go into
our meditation.
Closing your eyes, placing yourhands comfortably on your body
if they've, if they're not stillthere, and just allowing Reiki
(24:18):
to flow through you.
And I invite you to think rightnow of just one place that pain
shows up in your body.
And if you can think of thatone.
(24:38):
just going in, and it may notshow up in your body.
It may show up in your mind,your heart, your emotions, your
spirit, but wherever it shows upin your mind, body, spirit,
soul, emotions.
(24:59):
I'd just like you to think ofone aspect of pain.
And ask yourself, if the causeof this pain existed in my body,
where would it be?
And it's just the first thingthat comes to mind before you
second guess it with your eyesclosed.
(25:22):
Just looking into that area thatthe pain shows up.
And if you're not sure, justguess it's okay to do that.
The, with the distant symbolthat we'll be using tonight, it
will find it.
And if the cause of this painhad a shape, what shape would it
(25:43):
have?
Once again, it's just the firstshape that comes to your mind.
And if that shape had a color,what color would it be?
The surface texture be rough orsmooth.
(26:09):
Is it heavy or tight or sharp oruncomfortable in any way?
Are you willing to let the paingo today along with.
The belief that pain is helpfuland positive and good, are you
(26:30):
willing to let it go?
And to also let go of the beliefso that you can make a shift to
spiritual growth throughrecognizing joy.
And finally, if that shape had amessage for.
(26:55):
What would it be?
Where are you out of alignment?
We're gonna go into ourmeditation today and just listen
for the answer to that.
So I invite you to imagine nowthat it's a beautiful, warm,
sunny day, and that you'rewalking through a beautiful
(27:18):
forest that's filled with Reikienergy.
The light of the heavens and thelight of the divine earth are
here, and they flow into yourbody on your breath, as does the
life essence of the forest.
And you walk along until youcome to a clearing in the
(27:42):
forest, and in the middle of theclearing is a small hill covered
with soft grass and beautifulwild flowers, and there's a
gorgeous and enormous tree oflife on the top of that small
hill.
I invite you to climb up the.
And as you do, you just noticethe feeling of the grass and the
(28:05):
wildflowers brushing againstyour legs.
And when you get to the top ofthe hill, you step under the
thick canopy of the beautifultree of life, stretches up to
the heavens and circles backdown to the earth again.
And you realize that under thatcanop, Is the divine animal
(28:30):
kingdom.
All of the beautiful divineanimals that made themselves,
made us aware of them as wecreated the I C R T Animal Reiki
course.
And these beautiful divineanimals are here to assist you
(28:54):
in moving into alignment.
An alignment with your soul'spurpose for if you think of
animals, they tend to live intheir true nature's cat living
in its cat nature, a dog in itsdog nature, a deer in its dear
nature.
(29:18):
And so we can move intoalignment with our human nature
and into alignment with oursoul's purpose at the same time.
You look down and you noticethat the roots of the tree of
life are massive and that theycome up to the surface, and when
(29:40):
you look a little closer, yourealize that they are in the
pattern of a beautiful flower oflife.
Ave.
Pisces, which is the.
Space when two circles overlap,I invite you to find a spot
(30:02):
amongst the roots that your bodyfits into beautifully in this
beautiful flower of life.
And as you do, the roots come uparound you a little bit, and it
feels as though the divine earthembraces.
Do you notice that the rootsbegin to glow and you realize
(30:26):
this is no ordinary light.
It's the light from the heart ofthe divine mother, the earth,
and it shines all around you andeven seems to shine through you.
And at the same time, abeautiful beam of light pierces
the thick canopy of leaves ofthe.
(30:49):
And it shines on you and allaround you, and you realize that
this too is no ordinary light.
This is the light from the heartof God, and you feel very safe
and comfortable, and you feelheld in the arms of the earth
and held in the heart of God atthe same time.
(31:10):
And your own personal energycomes in close to you now.
So that just skims your skin andas it does this, the projections
and expectations and of othersjust drop away from you and they
fault of a thirsty earth wherethey are absorbed and they will
(31:37):
do something useful andbeautiful.
Open a flower or hatch a chickor germinate a seed, and you're
like, oh, of any energies thatyou're holding on behalf of
others as well.
And you let the belief that painis positive sink into the earth,
(32:01):
it just drops out of you.
And into the earth.
I invite you to now listen tothe message that your pain body
(32:22):
has for you about where you maybe out of alignment.
And at the same time, we invitethe disparate parts of ourselves
to move into alignment aheadwith the heart, the personality
(32:43):
and soul, each of the chakras,the intellect and the intuition,
all of the things that sometimescompete with each other.
Move in different directions.
We invite them all to move intoalignment as you listen for the
(33:04):
message that this pain has cometo impart to you, and we'll
remain here for a while.
(38:17):
And if you have heard yourmessage, and even if you
haven't.
Invite you to focus on thatshape now and just be willing to
let it move into the light if ithasn't already begun to do and
sometimes the message doesn'tcome to us during our
(38:37):
meditation.
Sometimes it comes later whenwe're doing something else and
not thinking about it.
So whether you understand theorigin or.
Just let the pain energy knowthat you will be listening for
(38:57):
it and just be willing to let itgo.
Now we invite the light of joyto move through us now and
become our new operating system.
(39:23):
So that we can go through thepain that exists within us one
by one using this meditation oryour daily self Reiki or
whatever works for you, and letthem go and move into utilizing
(39:44):
joy.
As a method of understandingwhere alignment occurs rather
than being focused on themisalignment.
So the light of joy movesthrough us and begins to guide
(40:04):
you.
Follow the guidance of joyconsidering all of the things in
your life that give you joy orthat used.
For that you hope will one dayand we'll spend some time here.
(41:03):
We invite the light of Ray Kateto just reduce.
Inflammation and pain that maybewe haven't got to yet, but we
will do so and we invite therepairs that are necessary
(41:30):
physically, spiritually,mentally, and emotionally.
(42:23):
Invite you to stay here as longas you'd like, and when you feel
ready, you can return.
And upon your return, I inviteyou to ask yourself what
percentage of that pain remainsthat shape that you started
(42:47):
with?
Once again, you're just going toask for a number between zero
and a hundred.
The first one that comes to yourmind if you have a high number.
Go ahead and just continuelistening to this until that
particular shape is eliminatedcompletely.
But if it is a low number,anything, 20% or under, there's
(43:10):
a good chance that it's going tobe completely eliminated by
tomorrow.
By tomorrow.
And so I wish you.
Good fortune as you go ahead andcontinue working on these pain
bodies, these shapes, theseorigins of pain until they're
(43:34):
eliminated completely.
And I hope that this reallyhelps you recognize just that
difference between soul andpersonality and just making sure
that your.
Is the one leading the shots andthat it gets an equal voice and
(43:56):
that we begin to be open to thepossibility of not needing pain
to learn from that.
Instead, we can follow the joy.
Thank you so much for being herewith me today, Namaste.
