Whole Living Today

Through the years, Christmas has grown into more of a sad time; disappointed at the materialism, the pressures, the general depression in people, the loss of hope.
I wasn’t brought up religious. It hasn’t been until the last couple years that religion has been slowly intertwining itself into my spirituality, a gossamer thread. Although Reiki is not a religion, it is very spiritual. I’m not going to explain Reiki in this post but just want to mention an aspect of it. There are many terms that can be used for the energy that is channeled during a Reiki session; chi, prana, Divine Love, God, Spirit, God Consciousness, etc. Starting out as a Reiki practitioner, I preferred to use the term chi, seemed more acceptable to others as well as myself. I’ve had some very enlightening experiences with Reiki, sometimes the love that I feel is overwhelming enough to bring tears of intense joy. I work with guides during a Reiki session. During one of my Reiki meditations, a new guide came to work with and through me, Jesus. This was not something I asked for and definately didn’t expect, remember, I wasn’t brought up with religion. My Reiki sessions have changed as he works with me. I now refer to the Reiki energy as Divine Love, seems more appropriate to me now.

Here’s a piece of an email a friend sent to me this morning:

“I hope you have a Blessed day.
We must always remember the reason we celebrate Christmas.”

That statement went right to my heart. I did feel Blessed. And I truly felt the spirit of Christmas.

 And because synchronicities are reminders, this song played shortly after on the radio, with a totally different meaning for me.

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do

Oh the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that’s what you do

There’s a love that’s divine
And its yours and its mine
Like the sun at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do

There’s a love that’s divine
And its yours and its mine
And it shines like the sun
At the end of the day we will give thanks
And pray to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do

Take away my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
Fill my life with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do. ~Van Morrison

Blessings to All,
