Reiki and the Reiki symbols are not just for the massage table and the home. Here are five ways you can use the Reiki power symbol in your daily life.
1. Traffic jams
Modern life in London (UK) is full of traffic jams: bumper-to-bumper cars going on for hours, cranky kids, dehydration. I just went out to pick some vegetables, for God’s sake! – hot…and right in front of the traffic jam, an intellectually challenged person who thought it was okay to double park as long as they put up the hazard lights!
So. Sitting in my car in a traffic jam is an ideal time to play with Reiki. He keeps me calm and free from anger behind the wheel. And at the same time, have you seen the effect of bouncing a Power symbol up and down on the roof of the car? Before long, there’s a gap in the traffic on the other side of the road, so my side can start moving again… and soon after the guy with the hazard lights shows up, smiles beatifically, starts his car, and He leaves without a care in the world.
The heavy weight of traffic, on the other hand, requires a larger solution. A huge symbol of power that bounces up and down in the center (a roundabout is a great place to bounce it), just like the one on the roof of the car. Call me crazy, but those power symbols release little versions of themselves like little bubbles, bouncing off into the distance doing God knows what to drop the traffic and get it flowing again. My daughter doesn’t even ask me if I’m doing Reiki anymore; when the traffic starts to move, she just looks at me and goes “Ha!”
This also works in traffic jams, or “queues” as we like to call them in the UK.
I think it might be a bit inappropriate to bounce symbols off the heads of people who haven’t asked for Reiki, but, you know, the floor next to them, as long as it’s in a public space, is fair game. I see those bubbling little symbols of power bouncing off the big main one, bouncing across the floor, through the entire long queue line and in no time at all, by a huge coincidence, a couple of extra counters open up and I’m in. in front of one of them cashing my check or buying stamps. And the cashier has a smile on her face for the first time that day.
2. Raise the atmosphere
Speaking of smiles, bouncing a Power symbol up and down in any public space is doing everyone a favor. Whenever I go to a store, a bank, or some other place of commerce, I usually do this, particularly in supermarkets. All those anxious people desperately trying to find something nutritious to take home to their families, failing miserably, so going for the nearest microwave food, well, that leaves a footprint of energy in the store. Bouncing a Power symbol in front of me as I wander the shelves not only clears the atmosphere for me, but everyone else as well. Win win.
At home, I lift the atmosphere almost every day in my house with Reiki. Draw a Power symbol in the center of the room, send Reiki into it, and then spray the symbol on each of the walls, the front of the house, the backyard, the side walkways on both sides, and even the driveway and pavement on both sides. The front. Oh yes, the car too.
3. Protect yourself
In the supermarket, the symbol of Power can also protect you from those carts driven by distracted mothers of three, who want a sweet or something equally inappropriate, arguing about who will push the cart and who will ride in it.
Before Reiki, I remember a woman so anxious and distracted in the supermarket that she slammed her cart against my foot so hard that one of my toenails turned black and fell off. Not now.
I surround myself with Reiki Power symbols and find that people strangely move around me, rather than through me. The same on the main street on Saturday mornings, or in the mall.
Now, this doesn’t mean that I purposely go out into less salubrious parts of the city after dark, but I do find that surrounding myself with symbols of power on the rare occasions when I feel like I need a little push helps me feel more confident. When I feel safe, my body language is off-putting to lurking predators.
4. Protect your things
I love to put the Reiki Power symbol on my things: car, credit cards, keys, wallet, computer, phone, all kinds of things.
Why? Well, partly because it’s fun to know that all my stuff is full of Reiki. And partly because I tend to forget things. What things? Everything, really. So when my stuff is full of Reiki, I don’t forget it as often.
Coincidentally, when my computer has Reiki on it, it tends to work very well. Go figure. In fact, I know of some IT techs who can get a “locked up” PC back up and running by giving it a little Reiki love.
Other Reiki people I know have their cars running when the battery dies. I’m not much of a car fan, so I tend to call someone to charge the battery in those circumstances. I’ll let you know how it turns out if I’m ever so stuck that I need to Reiki the engine.
However, I do Reiki with gasoline; strangely, gasoline seems to last longer. Or maybe it’s just me.
5. Meditation
Sometimes I like to draw a huge Reiki Power symbol around me, with the spiral going through all the chakras, and then just sit with it and meditate. Makes me feel happy.
