Design Who You Are Becoming

In this episode of Reiki from the Farm™, we explore what it truly means to design your life from your highest truth — not from fear, habit, or expectation.

Inspired by a simple but profound exercise, we ask:

• What will your life look like in 5 years if nothing changes?
• What remains if everything falls away?
• And what becomes possible if there are no limits?

I’ll share a moment from the shoreline — watching two ducks floating effortlessly above crashing waves — a reminder that even in times of chaos, polarization, and uncertainty, we can choose to rise above and ride the energy rather than be consumed by it.

This episode is set against a potent, energetic backdrop:

• A 1 Universal Year, calling us into new beginnings and bold creation
• Planets moving direct, bringing momentum and forward motion
• The Sun illuminating truth while Neptune dissolves illusion
• Old identities fading, as the truth of who we are becoming comes into light

It's not a time for spiritual bystanding.

This is a moment to:

• Live and lead from the heart
• Express your work and your life from your divine truth
• Release who you were, and step fully into who you are becoming

I’ll guide you through reflective exercises and a Reiki meditation to:

• Access the field of infinite possibility
• Release internal and energetic obstacles
• Anchor into the future you are here to create

Including a powerful question:  What do you want your life — and your legacy — to stand for?

What you choose, create, and embody between now and mid-April will help form the energetic foundation for your year ahead.

So welcome everyone to this month, Reiki share and this week's podcast. I am so excited to have you here. Happy Easter. For those of you who are here live, thank you for coming a day early. That lets, my daughters and I get away for a long weekend together. And we'll actually leave just before supper tomorrow night and it'll give us a chance to stop at the hospital and visit my dad. So I really appreciate you shifting gears like that. Before we go too far, I'm super excited about what we're talking about this evening, design, who you are becoming. But I do wanna let you know about some things that we have coming up at the farm. We have an animal communication and happy Easter. Everyone. Also, by the way animal communication level one and two and three are coming up April 11th and 12th. And 13th and 14th, 11th and 12th are both online. They're online over a weekend and, the level three class professional practitioner is over two evenings, so would love to have you join us if that speaks to you. I am gonna cancel the master class. I realized I'd put an awful lot of master classes in, this year. And just need to back that up a little bit. Also in April we have the Reiki business course, and we have start your Reiki business April 21st. It's starting, it'll be a six month course with my daughter and I, and, think my daughter's joining me for that one. You may be stuck with just me for the start your business. If she can't free up the time. But really excited to get a lot of you going. Just try and save you some time and money and give you that support and direction because even with all of my business experience and my MBA, it was so hard to put business principles together with Reiki. So I know how complicated that. Can be. And I just really wanna help people through that process. And along those lines my daughter and I are writing another book called Grow Your Reiki Business. And that goes along with the Grow Your Reiki Business course that starts on the 22nd of April and goes for six months. And that's for people who already have a website and already have a business, but they are ready to grow it. So that'll be the next book to come out to, so keep your eyes open for that. Still. In April, I have a level one and two class online and in person April 25th and 26th at the farm, and also online and in person at the farm, the 27th to 29th a Reiki masterclass. And then we have animal Reiki. Level one and two, May 2nd and third, and the animal Reiki master training online over four evenings, two evenings May 5th and sixth, and two evenings, the 12th and 13th. So would just love to have you join us for any of those if you wish. And it's not too early to book for Campobello. We've got all of those courses animal communication, animal Reiki, and Reiki coming up in Campobello. I do have a spot for five people to stay, if you'd like. With our Airbnb. I'm going to look it out for the students of that class. And also there's. Other spots to stay on the island that are lovely. But I'm gonna take a full day on Monday in between the level one and two and master classes, and we're going to go whale watching. We're gonna go to Eleanor's Tea and visit the Roosevelt to state Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt's estate on Campobello Island. We're going to, have a meal together and go check out the tides, go for a hike. Nice full day. You can join as many or as few activities as you'd like, but it's just my opportunity to really show you Campobello Island. It's such a magical island that I'd really like to share it with you. So let me know if you want me to put your name on one of those rooms. And we're actually going down to start furnishing it this weekend. We'll hopefully in a few weeks time, be able to start posting some photos of the room. It's not fancy, but it is just across the road from the water and there's a small beach there, so would love to have you join us for that guys. We are talking this evening about design your, who you're becoming. I have to say that after I got back from Africa, I really and I don't think I'm alone. I've been talking with some of the other students. It was such an expansive experience that it was really difficult to come home and granted, I also had 800 emails. It's the first time I ever didn't check emails for a couple of weeks in a row, and I had a little over 800. That I needed to get back to people. I'm still, I think I'm just around a hundred that I'm still working through at the moment. But I really struggled when I came back and as I was struggling. Through this. And also just with some of the chaos that's around us politically and so on in the world right now. So many things were coming to light. And once again, the animal kingdom was leading the way. I kept feeling with the chaos, I was kinda like, I don't know what to do with that. And. Just last week I was walking on the beach on Campo be, or two weeks ago, and it was an incredibly windy day and I was seeing these ducks, the waves, I've never seen the waves so big on that beach. On the island, it's, we have the highest tides in the world. The waves are actually generally quite gentle and. On this beach on this day with all the wind and the weather, the waves were not gentle at all. And as I was looking just at the sheer beauty of those waves and the power of them, I noticed two ducks, ants, I think, and they. Were wisely. If they were close to the shore, they would be smashed and injured, and they just stay out above the break line of the waves. And I thought to myself. Now wait. I wonder if we can do that. I wonder if Reiki can help us. Just, and so as these crazy waves were going, they were just basically bobbing up and down, like this, like with the waves. It was nothing, no great turmoil for them. It made me think about. How Colleen Benelli has mentioned that we can choose the energy that we're in, and so we could choose to stay above the chaos, we could choose to stay in a frequency that is above the chaos. And I thought about those little ducks. And then I was listening to a podcast and it was really a fascinating podcast and I will tell you all, if you don't have a journal with you, just see if you can grab one, a journal and a pen because we are going to be doing some really profound exercises. This evening but as I was trying to fit my, my, figure out how to fit back into my life after this expansive experience in Africa, I happened upon a podcast with, stanford University professors, bill Burnett and Dale Dave Evans. They've written a few books as well that I checked out. But apparently they teach a class at Stanford University. It's the most popular class, teaching people how to build the life you want now. What really stood out to me is for those of you who listen to the Africa podcast, you'll know that the Impalas told me we are not victims. Stop looking at us. Looking at what happens through the lens of a victim. We're willing participants in everything that happens. If we chose to chase off a predator, we could work together and we would, we could injure that predator if we wanted to. So they were just really clear that we had to stop. Looking through the lens of victim mentality. And so I was thinking gee maybe that's a way to look at the chaos as well. Or am I looking at the chaos as there's nothing I can do and from a lens of victim mentality? And I thought, I think I am. I don't know if any of you have ever caught yourselves doing that, but I really think that I was, so I got thinking about that and then I get to thinking about how many areas of my life does that happen in? How many areas do I feel like, where I'm not staying above the shoreline, I'm letting life kinda chuck me around and I'm feeling. Like a victim. And I realized I don't have to be a victim. I could be those ducks. I could stay above it. Now, in their in their exercise this Odyssey class, they talk about the fact that no matter what's going on in our lives, if we feel stuck, uncertain, overwhelmed. And I was feeling overwhelmed with all that I needed to do. We can take charge. So in other words, we can move out of the victim mentality of whatever's happening in our lives, and we can design what we want now. Check out the podcast that I was listening to is one that Mel Robbins did with these gentlemen. And if you'd like to go in and hear in their own words by all means, go and check that podcast out. It was really an amazing podcast, and basically by asking yourself three questions. You can design the life that you want. Now, why is that important right now? There's an awful lot going on right now in the next six, five, or six weeks. First of all, it's a full moon this evening, as we record in the next five or six weeks, we are in a retrograde free world, and what that means is we're not having to review the past, we're able to move forward. So this is really an excellent time for us to have a look at what is our, how is our life unfolding and do we want it to unfold that way? And of course, we can use Reiki to help design our life. So this is really, the next few weeks are about stepping forward. And not only are they about stepping forward but that intense internal review we've been doing is complete. Our resistance and hesitation to stepping forward is reduced. We're is, we're being asked to move now, there's no energetic drag, and so life is gonna gain momentum and this is. At a time in the one universal year where we're gonna be setting the stage for the next, for most of the next decade, for the next nine years, nine to 10 years. And so we're going to notice that things stabilize. And so from now until early May, we are in the initial. Building phase of our advanced plans. And so this is going to set the energetic tone for the entire nine year cycle that's to come. So what we establish right now for direction and foundations. For 2026 to 2035. So I thought that was really interesting, the timing, and I thought, of course, this is exactly when we want to do these exercises. Now in these exercises, it's really asking three questions and. You only take three to four minutes to write your answer. You write it really quickly. And the first question was, what does your life look like in five years? If nothing changes now, don't worry. You don't have to write right now. I'm just letting you know about it. The second question was, what remains if everything falls away? And the third question was, and what becomes possible if there are no limits? And I gotta tell you that something really surprising happened because I love my life. I love Reiki, I love what I do. And yet when I looked at that first option, what happens if things stay the same? I did not like where that was going at all. I and I preferred number two if everything goes away, and number three to number one, and I thought. I've gotta make some serious changes. Then one of the things I realize is that I recognize I've told a lot of you that I'm a type A personality and I've been known to be a workaholic, and I just realized like. I don't wanna work all the time anymore. Yes, I love what I do, but there are other things that I love as well, and so I wanna bring some of those into my life. And so I have actually made some changes and started bringing some of those things into my life, and now I actually sat down and did the exercise again. Having made some changes to how I do things and to what I'm spending my time on, and I'm like, oh, okay. That we're going in a direction that I like now. And so that was really. Really helpful. So one of the things that's also happening energetically right now, in addition to the one universal year that's asking us into bold creation and new beginnings and all of the planets moving direct, meaning we're gaining momentum in that for forward motion Now the sun is also illuminating truth. While Neptune dissolves illusion. So we're going to see old identities fading as the truth of who we are becoming comes into light. So this is the perfect time for us to do this exercise. This isn't a time I've been hearing this term lately. I don't know if any of you have heard it. Spiritual bystanding and it's not a word that I would use a lot, but I realize yeah it's definitely something that I've done at different times in my life and I realize this isn't time to do that. It's time to get more into the heart space and and to work more from our life purpose and our divine truth. And it's also. We just wrapped up a nine year cycle from 2017, 2018. And so this is also a time to let that go and step more into who we're becoming. While we do this exercise, we're going to be stepping into the field of infinite possibility releasing obstacles and just allow that future that we want allow that to come in because certainly if we don't design our life with intention, with our intention, then we'll be following somebody else's design. And I don't think, yeah, we don't need to do that. So the other question that these to gentlemen asked, it was a really good, dale and Dave and Bill asked was they invited us to write our eulogy, and so I'm gonna give you that as some homework after our time together today, if you wish. Write your eulogy. They suggested as you would want it to sound and then start bringing those things. Into your life and I don't know. I guess it's just a way, what do you want your life and your legacy to stand for was something that they asked. So for today. What we're going to do is we're going to start with that exercise. So I'm just gonna invite everybody to go ahead and grab your journal. We're gonna take four minutes actually three minutes with each question and the que and so go ahead and just go ahead and write at the top what would my life look like? Five years if nothing changes. And go ahead and start writing. And I'm gonna go ahead and start the the timer. I'm gonna join you again too. And just notice how it feels. You're writing and now we're going to move to the next question. What would it look like in five years? If everything falls away, what remains and what truly matters. Or another way to think about that is if the path you're on disappeared tomorrow, what would you do? Now the next paragraph is, what would your life look like if there were no limits? If there was nothing holding you back, we'll go ahead and start writing there. And so Susan, we're just. Looking at what our life would look like. We're writing it down in the next couple of minutes. If there were no limits, nothing holding us back. Okay, I am gonna invite you to stop writing and what showed up for you. You can feel free to share it in the chat or just even notice personally, or hold onto it personally. But what did you notice? And which of those lives are the most interesting? One of the things that I was really surprised about was that I would've thought it would be devastating if everything went away, but when everything went away, it was actually even a little bit liberating because it was like, oh, I get to create myself again and. One of the things that they talked about is that we all have seven or eight lives that we're living, or seven or eight different areas that are important to us and different places where we are and things that we do. And if, and seven or eight is hard for us to capture. But just these three helps us to realize that if everything goes away we're not destitute. We're not desolate. It maybe we realize that. Wow, I'm really on point right now. Or maybe like me, you would, you'll realize I'm not doing enough of the things of the other things that I love aside from work. And so I'm buying a little camper van so that my husband and I can get away for, a month at a time when he retires. Which he also set his retirement date, which is fun. And I bought a greenhouse, it's like a Lego set that we're trying to put together because I haven't been gardening lately. And that's something that I. I really enjoy. And and I've dusted my bicycle off and just some small things. But they seem to have made a really big difference just by incorporating those in. So you might notice that there's a little bit there and we've just started the ball rolling. You can come back to it and have a look at it at any time, but just doing it quickly that is, is fairly important. And we're actually going to go. Into a meditation something that's shown up in healthcare, Reiki. And also with the card deck that I'm working on with Helen with a couple of artists, Helen and Joanne. We're working on a card deck, which helps people tap into their own inner leader and their own inner authority. And one of the things we're, so what we're going to do in our meditation is we're gonna go forward. By five years and visit your future self and find out we're gonna visit the best version of yourself and find out, how did you get there and what it looks like among other things. But while we're doing this exercise, let's just take two minutes and in the next two minutes, I'd just like you to write. What do you want to be remembered for? Your legacy, your eulogy? What do you want people to say about you? And so go ahead and take two minutes. What do you want them to be talking about at your funeral? How did you love and serve and lead? How did you make a difference in the world? Okay. And the last thing before we move into our meditation today that I want to invite you to think about is I'd like you to think about a time in your life when you were walking on air when. Everything in you was lit up and alive, and just close your eyes and think about that moment and just allow that feeling to settle into your body. This is actually. It's actually our natural state of being when we are following our soul's path. So we're gonna go ahead and go into our meditation now. I'd like you to go ahead and bring your hands into Gassho. Activate Reiki. Bringing in all of your symbols one at a time. Take a deep breath and just bringing your personal energy, just inviting it to come in. Really close to you. Now moving in close to your skin and as it does. Anything you're carrying or holding on behalf of others, any energies that are not your own just drop away. When they move into the thirsty Earth, she uses these energies, transforms them, transmutes them. And she uses them for growth and beauty. Place your hands comfortably on your body now and just let your body soften and feel your jaw relax, your breathing, and just becomes smooth and easy. Just bring your awareness now into your heart space and just noticing, and just imagine you're standing at the edge of the ocean right now. The waves are powerful, unpredictable. They're crashing, they're loud. They might even be a little bit frightening, and then look beyond the shoreline and beyond the wave line. And I invite you to notice those two ducks just floating effortlessly and they might be moving with the water, but barely. They're completely untouched by the chaos. And they're not doing anything except remaining outside of the chaos. Above it. Beyond it, they're not swimming, they're not resisting, they're not reacting. They're just riding the waves. And as you watch these ducks, you realize that this too is available for you, that you didn't come here to be pulled under by the noise of the world. You're here to rise above it, remain above it. Just feel Reiki now lifting you energetically out of this chaos, out of the space of the crashing waves and just gently placing you into that place that is outside of it all above the shoreline. The wave line above the waves and you feel yourself just floating there, you probably feel held and supported, steady and stable. And from this place we can. Enter the field of possibility. In fact, you may notice that as soon as you moved beyond the shoreline, the wa even the noise of the waves got gentler. In fact, without someone there to witness them, perhaps the waves themselves settled down. And in this field of possibility, everything is available. And so we're going to explore without effort, without pressure, just noticing the field of possibilities, and we're going to revisit and. Exercise that we just did. If nothing changes, where would your life lead in five years? And just notice not only the images or ideas or impressions that you're getting, but also just try not to judge. Just notice how you feel. About that, and we release this now, letting the image go. We move to our second question, what does it look like and how do I feel about it? If everything that is not essential falls away, what remains, what is true and what is you just let that come forward. And consider how you feel about that. Now let's let go of this, these images and thoughts and feelings and ideas. And let's expand even more. Let's release the limitations that we may have placed upon ourselves or the limiting beliefs that may hold us back. And today we're going to move beyond fear, beyond what we've been told is possible or maybe even imagined that was possible. We're going to revisit that question. If there were no limits, what would that look like? I'm going to ask you some questions and we're going to expand on this. If there were no limits, who are you? Let's go ahead and imagine that the distance symbol has placed a door in front of us creating a bridge of light to our future self. Five years from now, our best self. No limits. Let's go ahead and step through that door and visit him or her. And as we do, what do you notice? What is your future self wearing? Where do they appear to be living? What do they appear to be doing? Are there loved ones around you? How do you serve? You may notice that your future self looks up and notices you now. When she calls you over, she brings you something, some nourishment. What does she bring you? Go ahead and ask her how you moved beyond the limitations. How did you get here? Does she have any advice for you? Know that this future self is not just. A far off dream. It's something that's already forming within you. Think for a moment about that time in your life when you felt so good, so aligned, so alive as if you were walking on air and just bring that energy into you Now. Feeling it in your body, in your heart, in your mind, in your energy field, and just allow that feeling to expand. This isn't a. Just a place to visit in a meditation. This is actually something that we can allow ourselves to become. Just allow Reiki to flow through it all, anchoring it, gently releasing any limitations, anything that no longer serves you, letting go of. Our old identities, our old expectations, any old roles that we may have outgrown, just allowing our authentic self, our true self to emerge. And just notice the. Steadiness. The clarity, that feeling of aliveness. Call forward that life that you're ready to create. You don't have to effort. You don't have to make it happen. Just become aligned with it. We're working from a place of love and not fear, just allowing that alignment, allowing. That life of infinite possibilities to begin anchoring in your heart, in your body, in your mind, in your energetic field. What we choose now is becoming form takes root in us trust. You're welcome to stay here as long as you'd like, but whenever you feel ready to come back, bring your awareness to your breath, to your body, to this moment in time, the room that you're in. And as you come back, just bring with you the knowing that you're not on the shore anymore, you're riding the waves. This life. Your life, it's yours. You get to design it. You're not in victim mentality. You are in the driver's seat. Thank you. Thank you so much for being with me this evening. Those who are here. In person and we got a great turnout even with the last minute change. Happy Easter everyone, and for those listening afterward, thank you so much for spending your time with us and for the beautiful Reiki and the light that you are in the world. We appreciate you. Thank you. Namaste.
