Based on Martha Beck's "The Way of Integrity", we examine where we prevent ourselves from bringing satori or peace in our lives and why. Usui Sensei, discovered Reiki as a way to accomplish Satori or perfect peace. We can also use Reiki to bring this into different aspects of our lives.

So welcome you guys. Welcome to our Reiki share. And also the Reiki from the Farm podcast. I'm really excited about what we're talking about this week. We're talking about integrity and moving into alignment with our true selves. Before we begin, I just want to let you know of a couple of things that we have going on at the farm. In December I have a licensed level one and two Usui/ Holy Fire. Reiki class. I also have a, an ICRT Animal Reiki level one and two class and also a master's class. And also in December, I will be teaching a slightly new format, two full days of animal communication, and I've just been shown. There is a way to, just get even better results with the animal communication. If I can have you for a little bit longer and, little bit of a different format, lots of Reiki in it. So if those make any sense to you, please join us. And some of the other classes, they do have a Kaurna Reiki class coming up in two weeks. So please, if the Karuna speaks to you, it is a beautiful, wonderful energy. I remember the biggest thing I remember about Karuna is thinking when I went to the, my first car ruined a Reiki class life doesn't get any better than this. Only a study and only a dead after you study Karuna. Just wanted to let you know about those things that we have coming up. So tonight I wanted to talk to you. I recently attended, a seminar by Martha Beck and it was put on by Kripalu the yoga retreat center in upstate New York. And, so I had the good fortune to attend her online seminar. And it just so profoundly, the messages in that seminar were so profound. I had to share them with you. And I got thinking, if we take those messages and we blend them with Reiki, we can really do something. With that Rei, the Reiki energy can really empower the messages. And, so that's what I thought we would do today. And the seminar is around her book, the way of integrity. And, so I'm just going to do my best to try and summarize that for you today. But before we begin, even with that section of our Reiki share, I'm just going to invite you in a little invocation to activate your Reiki symbols. So I'm going to invite you to go into Gassho and you can draw or imagine, or invite your Reiki, symbols to join you in whatever way works best for you and just breathe in the light of Reiki all around you. The angels and archangels the brothers and sisters of the light and the divine animal kingdom. And the other enlightened beings are standing at the corners of the land and on every side of us and they're shining their light and the light in your room breathe in the light and the Goodwill from these divine beings who are always here to support your journey even. And especially when you forget to ask, breathe in the blessings, those brought to you this evening by the Reiki energy, we invite the energy to guide and empower us this evening. As we listened to the top. And participate in the meditation afterward Namaste day. And Amen. So some of the things that Martha was talking about in this seminar, I felt were just so poignant and so present in the situations that we find ourselves in today. And right now, one of the things she was talking about is that our purpose here on earth is to wake up and another way to put that is to become enlightened. And it's actually quite noticeable. Within our selves within how we feel, how we respond when we are not moving toward our inner purpose, we feel off course. And I know that every single one of us has experienced that, that feeling off course in our lives. But a few of the things she talked about, I've talked about life purpose, often, and I know Reiki can really deliver us to our life purpose, but she talked about having an inner and an outer purpose, and I really had never thought of it that way. And here's how she defined it. And I'd just like you to listen to these questions. And if you have something to jot the answers down on, you can, or you can just make a mental note of it. For our inner purpose. The question we ask ourselves to identify our inner purpose is how do you want to be different because you have lived in the world? What does your consciousness want to experience in this lifetime? So just give that a few minutes to roll around and think, how do you want to be different because of living the life that you've lived. And our outer purpose responds to a very different question. It is. How do you want the world to be different? Because you lived in it. What impact do you want to make on the world? And that is your outer life purpose. I'm going to invite you. Anybody who wishes to you can go ahead and type your answers in the chat, or you can keep them to yourself. But I would love to see what people are coming up with for inner purpose and outer purpose. One of the things that we notice with this exercise is that it's really only a small percentage of people who's inner and outer are similar or are the same, or are aligned. And they don't know where you are on that. But one of the things I've talked to you about in the past is that one of the ways that we know we are in alignment is that we experience joy. Joy is the emotion that shows us we're in alignment with our purpose. And we're in alignment with source or God or whatever, name that you like to use for the creator and healing and health showed up for both for one of our participants. That's lovely. And I know mine showed up as love, beauty and service. Love showed up for both for me now talking about joy. One of the things that it shows up is that happiness is actually the interstate to which we are biologically predisposed. And Elaine, you had love show up for both like I did. So what happens though is. Although happiness is that interstate, which we're biologically predisposed to. So many of us are culturally conditioned away from it. And we're also culturally conditioned to lie to ourselves. For instance, we're in the culture that we are raised in north America. And a lot of the Western world, we are pushed toward a pyramid of achievement and we're told, just go over there and achieve, and then you'll be happy. But the trouble is that a lot of people who do that fine. It doesn't bring happiness. There may be some satisfaction at different stages of the achievement, but happiness is not necessarily a result of achievement. And so this is a belief that we hold that many people hold that isn't necessarily true. So integrity is getting all the parts of yourself to work together. So that you are whole and undivided. We were all born into perfect integrity when we were a baby and we didn't feel well, we cried and oh, those are some lovely answers there in the chat, you guys, but basically babies act the way they feel. However, it's not very long before the baby starts noticing that their actions have an effect on people. So they tend to absorb people's reactions to their behavior. So we've done that from the time that we were infants. We recognize the emotional energy from other people. We realized that when we cry, other people try to make us stop crying. And then when we stop crying, they act differently. And so a baby begins to believe very early on that if they change their behavior, it will help others to be okay. This is part of our cultural conditioning and it's, it, of course, everybody's going to try to have a baby stop crying. But this is part of the cultural conditioning that we've been absorbed since we're babies. There is a culture. Among every group as well. So we talk about culture as I'm from Canada, there's, I'm Canadian, that's a culture there. Some of you from the U S from Australia, that's a culture. And so we often think of culture in broad terms, but there can be cultures, even among families. There can be cultures, even within a couple, every group has a culture. So just think about some of the different groups in your life. Like I work with horses, there is a death and it culture, when you work with horses, there's, we even have a whole other language that the rest of you will not understand. You'll be like, what are you talking about? We have, we have our own language. So there are cultures in pretty much in, in pretty much every group that you belong to. And of course, Everybody wants to get along within the group. So there's this tremendous pressure to conform within our culture. So with, as children, we tend to sell out our true nature in order to serve our culture. So that happens very early on and that happens even before verbal language has become established. So this is really this culturally create itself, which we talk about with Reiki energy that can be lifted out. It really is a very innate part of ourselves and it causes our natural integrity to get split. For instance, one of the things that, that Martha uses to express that, and thank you for your beautiful responses. I'm seeing some, a lot of integrity or a lot of, the fact that with a lot of you, that your outer and inner are similar or the same. So one of the things that, really showed up as a really poignant example for me is that Martha would ask a group that are sitting in an audience. Are you comfortable? And I can ask you guys that right now, are you comfortable right now? Is everybody comfortable right now? And probably most of you are going to say, yeah, I'm comfortable. Yeah. Pretty good. And I could ask it again. Are you comfortable? Yeah. Little chili or sitting a little funny, but yeah, I'm pretty much comfortable. So then if I asked the question, if you weren't on camera right now, and if I couldn't see you, would you be sitting up then, would you be sitting the way that you are? And if you think about yourself, right now with everything online, we can be a little bit more comfortable in our homes, but think about yourself, in an audience watching, if I was speaking to you in an audience and you would be sitting in a chair, is that how you would be sitting if you were at home and, or would you be lying down or would you be in a, a lazy boy? And so we've actually even been taught to lie to ourselves with. We've been taught to say, oh yeah, I'm comfortable. What are you really comfortable? Oh yeah. But then think about it again. Are you really comfortable? You know what? My knee is bent at a little bit of a funny angle so that I can get you guys a pretty good screen angle. And it's a little tender right now. So I might adjust that if you really cool, if I could be laying back and in a La-Z-Boy chair, but this is as comfortable as I can get and still give you guys a pretty good angle and be attentive to you. So am I really comfortable? I'll be more comfortable after we're done when I go out in the lazy boy, but I'm as comfortable as I can be and still, fit within this culture and do what I need to do. So many times we, we really gloss over. You know how we truly feel in a certain situation. One of the things that Martha has done for herself, although she does not recommend this is she does integrity, cleanses where she decides to take a certain number of days and. Say exactly how she honestly feels about absolutely everything she says, don't do that really don't do that. But this is because our culture requires us. If somebody says, how are you? W I'm fine. I'm great. And, nobody wants to hear I'm a little tired of COVID. And yet my knees, a little buggy today, and, and feeling a little bloated to tell you the truth, nobody wants to hear that absolute truth. She says, your life will blow up. If you decide to do that. What she recommends instead is just spending a little bit more time. She recommends what she calls one degree turns, and she uses the example of if you're flying a plane, and you want to change course. And if you just keep just making one degree turns pretty, it's not going to take that long before you're flying in a completely different direction. So she talks about that. That is, a bit more comfortable way. And so one of the people that we can be honest with without, crushing, some of the other people in our lives or boring them to tears or whatever is ourselves. And so what she recommends is that we start being honest with ourselves because we can lose ourselves when we become disconnected from that integrity. So she actually talked about six things. She said there's and she, this book, she, the, the integrity book that she has just written a minute, I'll get the title, the way of integrity, which I just love the title though. She actually, compares it to Don tase the divine comedy. She uses that as a little bit of the basis for the book. Now I want to read the divine comedy. I've never read it before, but hearing her explain it, sounds so very interesting. But she says there are typically six things that show us that we're off course or that we might not be living in integrity in every area of our lives. And, it occurred to me while I'm living in integrity and quite a few areas of my life, but there's a few areas that I'm not. So I'm going to show you how to identify that. First of all, if you're not living according to your purpose or within integrity, you will be number one, you'll be unsure of your clear purpose. Just not really sure what it is now. You guys didn't have very much trouble. Coming up with that when I asked you, so that may not be an issue for you, but. For some people that can be troublesome. The other number two is you'll experience negative emotions. You'll send times in states of negative emotion. Number three is your physical health may fail. Number four is your relationships may fail. You may struggle within relationships. Number five is you feel unfulfilled within your career. And number six, and this is maybe when you're dealing with all the others, is that you may even wind up using unhealthy behaviors or even substances to decrease your suffering. And the culture would normally tell us if any of these things are going on. Our culture usually says, you just need to go out and achieve more. You just need to do more of. And even people at the top, can be ravenous for more. But if any of those six things are going on in your life and you recognize them, that's the important part. If you recognize them and say, wow, there's a few areas here where I may need a little help. That's all you need to do. And so by recognizing them, and then acknowledging that you need a little bit of help, a teacher will show up for you. Maybe the teacher is this call. Maybe it's her book. Maybe it's another book. Maybe it's an animal there. Maybe it's a teacher of a class or a modality that you are guided to take, but a teacher always arrives. When you recognize an imbalance, when you recognize that you've drifted from your true path and you acknowledge that you need. Some help. And a teacher typically we'll, move you into a call to action or adventure. So there's a couple of things that if any of those showed up for any of you, you can simply make the statement within alliances. Natalie says I can relate. You can simply make this statement and even turn this over to Reiki. I would like to establish my true purpose. In fact, for those of you who've studied at the master level of the ICR ICRC. You Sui, holy fire Reiki, or Tibetan Reiki. We, taught a moving meditation where we would move with Reiki activated and say, I established my divine purpose. If you simply acknowledge that you would like to establish your true purpose and that you might not be completely on course. In other words, you're not enlightened yet. I'm not enlightened yet. So I acknowledged these. Then you can begin moving toward enlightenment. We want to establish a full communion with our true nature, and that's very much, I've just been teaching animal Reiki and that's very much, what both holy fire and animal Reiki do is they put us in touch with our authentic selves and with our true nature, our human nature and our divine nature. And. Let's see. So this condition of saying we're comfortable when we're not entirely comfortable is a condition that we all almost all live within north America. And that causes us to lose aware. There goes the dog alarm, everybody. Okay. It is Reiki from the farm and cost us, causes us to lose awareness of our true nature. So we're lost. But the thing is so often we believe the path back or the path forward or the path toward enlightenment. And Katie said that happened for her. Somewhere else like it somewhere we have to go to. But here's the thing you guys, the path is inside of us. The path toward enlightenment is inside. We, a lot of us think heaven is elsewhere. Heaven is right here on our it's in your daily life, and we just need to choose to allow Reiki to help us see it and help us access it. So I'd like you to ask yourselves really deeply now, say, I want to know my true purpose. Please help your teacher will arrive and ask yourself how comfortable am I really in my life. And just think about some of the different aspects of your life. And you might even decide to write them down and give them a score of zero to 10. How comfortable are you truly. And when I see the teacher will arrive, there is an expression or an understanding that for every step you take toward a divine being that teacher takes a thousand steps toward you. So please understand that we have all kinds of help in this journey. Now I'd like you to just consider, are there any areas of your life where you're suffering, as you consider that, are there any areas. You're not truly happy that you just, and also give some thought to areas where you are truly happy to, but are there any areas you're suffering in Don Taiz? Is it the divine comedy or the Inferno? He talked about how most people who were in suffering are there by accident. They're there and they can get out, but it's their beliefs that hold them where they are. And so if, when we ask ourselves what area of my life am I not a hundred percent happy with or not completely fulfilled? We can then turn around and say, what beliefs are keeping me there. Now, Bryce Goble at our, w Reiki retreat. And I know I talked about this last month and I wanted to talk about it again because it had a profound impact on me. She talks about how our beliefs create our thoughts than our thoughts, create our emotions. Our emotions motivate our actions and our actions create our results, which then reinforce our beliefs. So typically, whatever belief we have adopted or accepted will just keep us in this continual loop and. We actually, it's our imagination that helps us create our future. But a lot of times our imagination only knows how to access where we've already been. So one of the most uncomfortable places for humans can be in a new reality or something that they don't have a context for. Whenever we go to step into something new, even if it's something incredibly positive, especially when it's something incredibly positive, it can be very disconcerting. So the question we want to look at within the area of our life, that feels maybe a little off course or not completely fulfilled is what do you believe about this? That's holding you in the suffering. Because it is our natural state. And sorry, it's not the divine comedy. It's Dante's Inferno. It is our natural state to be in a place of joy and of peace. So what do you believe that makes you suffer those beliefs? If you were to compare yourself to Dante's Inferno, those beliefs would be considered your demons. And what I'd really like to have you ask yourself is as you consider, what do I believe that is keeping me here? I'd like you to go back to every single belief that you have and go ahead tomorrow and or tonight or whenever and journal about this. And I'd really like you to. Ask yourself about every belief that is holding you in a place that you are uncomfortable. Is it true? And if it is not, if you cannot say that it is 100% irrevocably, absolutely true. Then you ask Reiki, please help me to release this limiting belief. So many of our beliefs were placed on us by our culture. They weren't even anything we gave any thought to. And so many of them aren't necessarily true. So it's really important then to disbelieve the things that you're telling yourself, the beliefs that are creating, the thoughts that are creating the emotions that are creating the actions that are creating the experiences. We need to go into the belief and we have to begin to disbelieve whatever separates us from happiness, because happiness is our true state. So where in life are you not comfortable? And it's okay to be vulnerable. I'm not going to ask you to put these answers in the chat. This is for you, and be honest with yourself. Because we all have a hope and an understanding at the core of our being that in these bodies, in this lifetime, we can go beyond suffering. We can reach Satori, we can become awake. You Sui sensei called it on Sunday to may and his entire study of Reiki the entire, when he went up on Mount Karama and S and came back with Reiki, he was in search of onsen decima, which is perfect peace Satori, or enlightenment or awakening. And so it is possible within this lifetime. So if we can learn not to lie, at least to ourselves to say that we're happy when we're not. And if we can learn that when we do something that's not in alignment to ask Reiki, to assist us, to bring us back into alignment, then we can really step into and step forward on a journey to work paradise. Holy fire Reiki has said from the beginning that, we are meant to live heaven on earth, that its purpose was to bring third heaven, reality to the earth. And just a reminder, third heaven reality, or for those who maybe haven't heard of that expression. Third heaven. Reality is living in only love it's non-duality. There's no hate to balance the love. There is only love. So we have been told that the purpose of the holy fire energy, when it came to the earth in 2014, it said. Ushering in an age of enlightenment and era where we could live surrounded by love. And when you take, you can take almost any experience. And when you look at it through the filter of love, and when you see it through love, you can understand it on a very deep level and a much deeper level. This life is actually, this is what Dante's Inferno, brings us to that this life is actually meant to be a journey back to paradise, and we've already taken steps in that direction. I know every single one of us has moved certain aspects of our life into a place of integrity and into a place of alignment. And now we just have to apply that Reiki energy and that beauty and that joy into other areas of our life. The whole point is to exist in this lifetime, enjoy and comfort. So ask yourself, where am I lying to myself about being comfortable? And you can quite quickly drill down to a deeper and deeper levels of self betrayal. And you might grieve some of the losses that it may bring about. But one of the things that Dante's Inferno showed is that we think it's going to be so hard. We think it's going to be so difficult, but in fact, as soon as we start the journey, and as soon as we get to the bottom of the Inferno where we think, oh my goodness, this is really a terrible place. This is difficult. We just simply pop out of the top and can see the stars. And the beauty is all around us. So we anticipate this to be so difficult, but it doesn't have to be some of the areas that, Sho that we are in a state of self betrayal or things like auto immune disease, depression, and anxiety. These can all live. When we move back into a place of integrity, these are just symptoms that show us that we have left our integrity. We end ourself abandonment. We sometimes abandon the culture that made us lose ourselves, but we also often come back to it once we find ourselves again. Okay. So as we get our integrity back, we sometimes can also offend some aspect of our culture. It may lead to some external pain, but internally it heals us. And I know that some of you were in the process of that journey right now, because this is where Reiki naturally leads us. I can remember. And one of my first holy fire class does William rants. And yeah, some of you are gonna get divorced. Some of you're going to leave your jobs. Some of you are going to move. Yeah. Just nonchalantly. And I was like, what? And, but that is an aspect because the holy fire Reiki energy brings you into alignment with your integrity. And so the things in your life that aren't aligned and aligned begin to shake out. One of the things that happens is though that the part of us that is most abandoned feels locked in ice, and the only way out is through. So it sometimes just pulls you into the deepest area of suffering, but the way out is surprisingly simple. He used a beautiful example of her son, Adam, who has down syndrome and they attended the funeral of Adam's best friend's parent. And actually the other parent had previously had predeceased the first parent. So the child was orphaned and Adam told her on the way back that he didn't cry. And she said, it's all right, though, if you need to cry, that was sad. And she's a psychologist. And she said, it's all right, if you need to cry. And he said, he didn't need to. And he said, it's not as hard after the light comes down and opens your heart and the light actually. And she shared with him that she had a near-death experience where that happened. And he shared with her that he had an experience where he was having a rough time and that happened. And she talked about how many people who have that experience of experiencing grace in that manner. They often go who have near death experiences. They often go into depressions afterwards. And yeah, Katie says you have experienced that, you know what? I'm bet you there's quite a few people here that have, and Martha, she was talking to her son. She said, I wanted it back. I really didn't want to go out of the light. And he just looked at her in amazement and said, and he goes, mom, it's right there. And she said, what? You can see it. And he said, yeah. And she said, where is it? And he said, it's all around us. It's everywhere. It's just, on this note of wonder in his voice, So think about where you hurt and then tell yourself in a journal and maybe at least one other person that you trust the truth. If it is a place of deep trauma, don't be shy to seek out the assistance of a counselor or a therapist who can walk you through that. But go ahead and look at where are you hurting and what beliefs are keeping you there. As you move into alignment, you will move into alignment with your body, mind, soul, heart, and spirit, and you feel like a click when it goes into place. I'd like to give you one statement that is true for everyone. And just see if you happen to experience the click as it, as you come into alignment with this station, this the statement and bite you to say to yourself, I am meant to live in peace and just feel into that and see if that feels true to you. I am meant to live in peace. Just see if it clicks in or does it float around there a little and just continue saying that to yourself. I am meant to live in peace in this body, in this line. And just allow yourself to believe that, breathe it in and out because this is the truest thing we can tell ourselves. I am meant to live in peace in this body, in this life, breathe that truth into yourself. We are all meant to live in peace and we're all connected in that piece. And this statement is so true that it can take you out of your Inferno and bring you home to your true self, into a place of integrity. She invites us to spend 10 minutes each day, allowing ourselves to believe that to just spend time with that statement, I am meant to live in peace and calm. And she invites us to look at the beliefs that keep us suffering or keep us uncomfortable and spend 10 minutes less every day in those beliefs consciously. So then 10 minutes more each day, understanding and realizing that you are meant to live in peace. These are the one degree turns 10 minutes a day, and begin to notice in your life. What brings you peace and comfort, do more of that and do less of what causes suffering and takes you out of alignment. I think to yourself, I'm going to say this again, and I'm just going to invite everyone to close your eyes and activate your Reiki energy. And just notice how your body, your mind, your soul, your spirit, and your heart respond to this statement. I am meant to live in peace in this body. In this life peace is my guide to my true self, my guide to the truth of who I am. My true nature piece resonates within me, and it allows me to resonate with all of nature. And then you can come back. Once week can truly move into a place of integrity within ourselves. Then we can re-engage with our culture. We may need to step outside of it for a little bit, as we become comfortable, being honest with ourselves and touching base with our truth. Moving back into that state of grace, truly enlightened people, and they do exist on this planet. They do. I'm not one of them, but there are truly enlightened people that exist on this planet. I've actually had the good fortune to meet some of them. Some of them are people on the Down's spectrum or with other. Conditions or labels like that. They're all incredible people. Some of them aren't out there seemingly changing the world, but they are changing the world just by being who they are. No matter what the thread is within our culture cultures, we'll often use like tribal shaming and blaming pieces you're home. And you can go back to that one time in a conversation with God, God called me a little dove. And I said, what does that mean? And I was shown that peace was who I was. And what I was meant to spread that peace and love on the planet. That is my life purpose. And it can be as simple as that, just being an anchor for peace and love on the planet. One of the things that showed up in the Inferno is why do we sometimes look away from the light? Why do we sometimes think we don't deserve it? If that shows up for you, dig into that belief, that's really important. We all deserve peace. We all deserve to live in the light. We all deserve to be free from fear and shame. There's some rivers that I wasn't aware of that Martha talked about that I believe they're from the Dante's Inferno. The rivers are called, they're actually two sides. Two branches of the same river. One side of the river is called left Fe, which means oblivion. And what happens in left thing is that, and what happened in that bay is that our enlightened beings, so often we exist. With things maybe that we have not forgiven ourselves for things we're ashamed of. And we hold onto those, oh my goodness. How do we hold onto those? And they might be something we did in third grade. I can still tell you about the balloon. I still, when I was five and I felt so horrible about stealing that balloon, it was a Mickey mouse shaped balloon. It cost 5 cents. And I made my mother take me back to the store at five years old. And I went in and explained five years old. She didn't even come in with me. That's my mother. At five years old, I went into the store and said, mumbled, I stole balloon. I'm really sorry. It was 5 cents. Here's 5 cents. And and I still remember that. Vividly and think, why would I do that? And, so we can beat ourselves up over and the cashier didn't care. She was like, I don't care. She just took 5 cents and popped it in the till. She really she's whatever, but that just ate at me. So why do we do that? Left a is oblivion, and this is what the enlightened beings want for us. They take us when we get to the other side and we're, because we keep ourselves in hell or in suffering or whatever you want to call it, they'd take us. And they did across into the river of left bay and in the river of left of oblivion, we forget. And Don and in Dante's Inferno, he forgot everything he ever did wrong. All of the regrets that he had and everything that he was ashamed of. And then they take us and he was taken and he was dunked in the river of UNO. UNO means beautiful thought. And in the river of UNO, he begins to remember vividly everything he ever did. The things that they thought were unforgivable, turn out to be insignificant compared to the things that we did, martha talks about, the fact that she was going into a coffee shop. Recently. And there was a note on the door that said, use the other door. And it said, bat sleeping. And it had an area and an arrow pointing up and there was this little bat above one of the doors. And if we were open it, it would disturb that bats sleep. So all of the people that went into that store that day went through the other door to not disturb that bat that was sleeping. And she said, I'd like to think that after we were done in the river of Lethe and then dumped in the river of UNO, we would realize how important it was that we let that bat sleep on that day. Imagine yourself, if you could be dunked in those rivers. And that's what we're actually going to do in our experience to. And just let go of, and Lucette you say you've been working on this. This is wonderful. Perfect timing. Imagine yourself. If you can let go of everything, you haven't forgiven yourself for everything you're ashamed of or embarrassed of, or, whatever, everything, every terrible thing that you believe that you did. And then imagine if we can be dunked in the river, UNO and vividly, remember everything we did, right? That's where the Reiki energy is going to bring us today. One of the things that you'll notice, and one of the things Martha talked about in her conclusion is the universe will not reward our desperation. So as you move into a place of peace and integrity within yourself, but that is basically coming to that place of peace. Everything you want is there because he says that's our home address. And so everything you've ever tried to manifest the universe said, sure. And they send it to your home address. But if you're not there, if you're traveling, you won't necessarily receive it. If you're in a place of desperation, but when you get home to peace, your life moves into this state of grace. And beauty and flow. That is unbelievable. I have to admit some aspects in some areas of my life have moved into that and it's unbelievable. I never thought this was possible. And I'm just so excited at the opportunity to continue working with this with Reiki, to just move some of the other areas that aren't quite there yet into that same place of peace and of Satori. Because when you move into that place, everything you've ever hoped or dreamed, it's all there. That is your home address. And I guess it was Oprah who said that the universe won't reward our desperation. If we are looking for something out of desperation, it will send it to us, but it sends it to the home address, which is peace. So that's where we need to get. Everything. When we step into that state of enlightened peace becomes magical. We are at a time in human history and Sheila says, you're beginning to experience this in some areas I expect a lot of you are. And that makes me so happy. So amazing that Reiki can be a tool that can really deliver us to this. But we are entering into a time in human history. When many of us are being called to wake up, we need a transformation of human consciousness. If we're to continue living in harmony with our planet, when we do reality becomes bliss, it becomes that heaven on earth that the holy fire has been telling us about. And we're all in it together. This isn't. As you can imagine moving into peace is something that we can all do together. There is no competition, no one can be more peaceful than someone else. That's not the purpose. Like this is something that we can all step into simply with an awareness and an intention to do that wherever we are, we can be United in this reflecting each other's light and love from all of the different parts of the world. And, this wonderful group that's here together today are from all areas of the world. And I'm so grateful. And here we are reflecting each other's light and love. All we need to do is just make form an intention and agree to let go of whatever is causing us to suffer. We're ready to move in to the meditation portion tonight. And I just wonder before we do, if anyone has any questions, I'm seeing some beautiful comments in the chat like Reiki is, has brought us through some of this and thick of pretending. And, the Reiki grid has been a tool that has helped. Some of you get to this. Anybody have any questions or comments before we move into our meditation this evening? Okay. Some of your life let's get into those rivers, man. They're going to be awesome. And I think they are wonderful. Everyone. Thank you for your, for being so vulnerable in the chat and thank you, Natalie. Thanks Katie. As I'm going to invite everyone, who's listening to make yourselves really comfortable and close your eyes, and I'm just going to listen for the energy. That's going to deliver us to this space today. Go ahead and activate your Reiki, energy. Close your eyes and take a deep breath and just begin letting go of the busy-ness of your day and of everything you need to think about later. This moment is about you and for you. So give yourself this opportunity to focus on yourself and the brilliant light of Reiki is here, filling you on every breath. The enlightened beings that support us in our work are surrounding us. And I can sense a joy in them that we are all stepping forward onto this path together today, acknowledging any areas of our life, where we are suffering with a willingness to let go of that suffering and move into a place of perfect peace. So I invite you to consider an area of your life that is uncomfortable for you right now. We invite the Reiki energy to flow through and around that aspect of your life and of your. And I invite you to consider what beliefs are holding me in this suffering. What beliefs are preventing me from accomplishing perfect peace, not to stay in this spot for a moment so that you can really drill down into some of the beliefs that might be holding you back. We acknowledged that these beliefs may continue to surface and they may drill deeper. We invite the light of Reiki, the mental, emotional symbol, the Karuna Reiki, Holy Fire, and the Animal Reiki and energy to join us today, along with the enlightened beings and just release from us, the limiting beliefs from this area and aspect of our life, many of the beliefs that do not release right away, invite you to examine them and ask yourself. Is this true. We'll spend some time so that you can bring each individual limiting belief, whether you're aware of them or not up to the surface to be released on your behalf today. And the light of Reiki will deliver these limiting beliefs to a place where they can be listened to and heard and nurtured him, healed all the way back to their original cause. Now we invite the beautiful Reiki energy to move us toward the most peaceful form of ourself to lead us toward our, in wakening, bringing harmony and integrity. Some might consider this a return to the garden of Eden. Where we can reclaim our innocence. And if there is any part of yourself that doesn't feel worthy to experience peace and joy in this lifetime, in your daily life, or in this moment in time, we release that limiting belief as well. We'll spend some time here allowing you to move into the understanding, the belief and the acknowledgement that you are loved. And that you deserve to live in peace and harmony and integrity in this lifetime, that it is your birthright. Okay. If there is any part of you that is tempted to look away from. Any of the layers that you've picked up from the ways and worries of the world or from the ancestral memories or history or family lineage, other lifetimes, this lifetime, any energies connected with you that are less than love. We release these into the light now, and I invite you to imagine that you are walking through the woods, beautiful cathedral forest, and you walk until you come to an open. And that opening leads to the river of life. There's a beautiful river, a beautiful bridge that crosses the river of life. They invite you to go to the other side of that bridge place. A third heaven consciousness, where there is only love to step out of the duality of our daily lives. And you may notice that the divine animal kingdom, the brothers and sisters at the light, the angels and archangels and the enlightened beings, they are all there with you. And together, you walked down to the river. One of the enlightened beings steps forward from the others. This is your guide in this next experience. He lets you know that the river of life contains both left. And oh no. And he invites you to allow his assistance or her assistance verus distance as they help you submerge yourself in the river of left-wing the branch of the river of oblivion and allows you to, through the forgiveness the grace of forgiveness that flows through and around you in this river, the submersion in this river allows you to forget anything you have ever done wrong regret or are ashamed of, and by chief to lie and float and. Allow yourself to be submerged in this river with your enlightened being surrounded by a circle of the enlightened beings and the divine animal kingdom, until this is all been released for you. We'll spend some time here allowing that to process. Now that we have released and forgotten everything we've ever done wrong. All of our regrets, anything we're ashamed of, we come up out of the water. And the beautiful enlightened beings that surround us are clapping and cheering. And as they clap, he can see light and butterflies and beauty and grace low from their bodies and the enlightened being or beings that is assisting you asks, are you ready to be submerged in the river of UNO? Beautiful thought where you can vividly remember everything you have ever done. If you are ready. Go ahead and allow yourself to be submerged and to spend some time remembering all of the beauty that you've created and fostered everything you have done right in this lifetime. Allow it to come into your consciousness where you can vividly remember. And we acknowledge that those things we thought were unforgivable are truly insignificant compared to the things that we have done. So the love and peace and beauty that we are fostering and spreading in the world. And as we forgive ourselves, we let go of any unhealthy patterns that are associated with us. And we move back to a place of peace within ourselves. We acknowledge that the path to Satori or enlightenment perfect piece is inside. It is our home address peace is our home. We acknowledge that we are meant to live in peace in this body. In this life and we agree to allow peace and Reiki to be our guide. As we find our way home to perfect peace. I'd like to invite you to stay in this space as long as you feel guided to, and to revisit it as often as you wish. Thank you for journeying with me to your place of integrity, that place of integrity within you that is perfect peace. I'm so grateful that we've all come together to enter into this journey together today, Aho Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ. Namasté. And Amen. Amein. Ashé, Shalom. And so it is. Thank you.
