You've followed the advice of all your friends and yet you still can not figure out what to do to have a bit of emotional calm and tranquility, to solve your problems with balance and consideration.

 Despite maintaining a regular diet and exercise, have  you felt your body in disarray, as if something was in imbalance?

If so, consider learning a little more about the benefits of Reiki in your personal quest for peace and balance.

It is exactly on this subject that we will deal with in our article today. Discover this kind of healing energy, discovered in Japan by the famous teacher Mikao Usui, and unveil the main benefits that this technique can bring to our body and spirit!

1. Balance: Always be in Harmony

     Reiki is nothing more than a vital energy transfer technique, done so with one's hands. Among the concepts that underlie this technique is the energy levels.

     Each person carries with him his life energy. If this energy level is low, one can easily become the target of diseases and imbalances of all kinds. On the other hand, if the energy is balanced, equilibrium will reign.

And this is one of the benefits of Reiki: through the flow of energy, it enables rebalancing through the organization of the individual magnetic field, in order to provide a sense of comfort and well-being.

2. Tranquility: A Life of Fullness

     Reiki is not connected to any kind of religion or dogma. It is a concept of universal energy. There is, in fact, a strong appeal to the spiritual side of being, but without connecting to any kind of closed concept.

     That is, it is a technique that deals with the energy that involves the body and the spirit, bringing renewal and reenergization. This all brings to the person receiving Reiki a sense of peace, calm and tranquility, which causes a deep relaxation, causing, according to reports, even curative processes...

3. Stress reduction: peace of mind and body

     By acting as an agent for rebalancing the vital energies of being, Reiki provides a considerable reduction of levels of emotional and physical stress.

     This is because, during the application of the technique, individuals usually report the occurrence of a feeling of peace, comfort and relaxation, which, in turn, act positively on the mental state of the individual, which contributes to the decrease of stress levels and even to raise self-esteem.

As you can see, there are many benefits to Reiki. This famous Japanese technique, in fact, helps and much in the search for relaxation and self-knowledge, providing healing to the body and soul.

Bad stuff happens to you and to everyone, that's a reality.

As years go by we must master our emotional states (Sadness, anxiety, feeling down because someone didn't treat you right, et cetera). 😭😭😭

Trying to remain positive, not exploding and never giving up is the meaning of being resilient to me.

We are sensitive humans, yes, even you, tough guy at the gym. Feelings are a part of human psychology, but that doesn't mean one should be a slave to them.

One suggestion is to meditate when something happens, it helps me understand the problem and feel relief. 😄

Another tip would be to get imediately out, go walk! Go to the park, the forest or the beach and feel the true healing power of being truly connected to mother earth. 🌳🌳

How about you? How do you deal when you're not feeling like the sunflower you are?

"Don't grumble, Give a whistle

And this'll help things turn out for the best.

And...

Always look on the bright side of life."

- Monthy Python - Always look on the bright side of life

     I once thought I had a beautiful future life planed and dreamed for me, as everybody else has:
A good job, marriage, a big family, a divine physical appearance, a fast car, parties, lots of money, being famous... 

     How often do I dream and work toward meeting objectives in order to have one or more of these things achieved in my future?

"Get a job. Go to work. Get married. Have children. Follow fashion. Act Normal. Walk on the pavement. Watch TV. Obey the law. Save for your old age. Now repeat after me: I AM FREE"

    But who assures me that these are the things that will make me feel fulfilled and "happy"? Are my dreams and ambitions really worthy of being called mine?

Unknowingly, my whole life, concepts of beauty, happiness, freedom, were all implanted at some point. Society, government, or whatever is controlling us, with tools such as media, or somewhere along the way... I lost myself!

     And only a couple years ago I realized how much of "me" I really am (Or rather am not), and how little I can be within the limits are imposed.

FREEDOM ? Will I ever be able to call it mine?
Are my dreams, desires, likes and hates really mine or were they the ones implanted by others?

Now I see how brainwashed I've been... Still am... But I'll stop it!

Whatever it takes, even detachment seems like a good option in some sort, into achieving this kind of power, because only then I am free to evolve myself... Who knows, will I attain peace? freedom? Will I then be able to say that  this life as really mine?

Hello, beautiful one!

Hope you have had a wonderful Yuletide and New Year. And I wish your 2016 is filled with peace, happiness, health, love and prosperity!

     January is the month of the Full Wolf Moon.
 It first appeared when wolves howled in hunger outside the villages. It is also known as the Old Moon.
     To some Native American tribes, this was the Snow Moon, but most applied that name to the next full Moon, in February.

It will be on January, 23rd

Moon Folklore:

It is said that a bright first Moon promises rain and a bountiful harvest.

Here's the spell I'll be casting on this full moon and a great suggestion!

Do you struggle with anxiety, impatience, a little bit of stress growing in you? Do you find yourself too often easily losing your nerve with people and life situations?

If so, try this spell to help you increase your patience and relieve all of those unhealthy bad stuff out of you.

      I find this one a big tool dealing with all of that, plus telling my social anxiety to shut up!

What better way to bless this year?

You will need: 

-A cup or bowl filled with water;
-A blue candle;
-Essential oil – lavender, palmarosa or jasmine.

1.  Cast your circle and light the candle. 

2.  Take ten deep breaths while gazing at the candle flame.  For each in-breath, imagine that you are inhaling the peaceful blue colour of the candle as it was smoke, and for each out-breath, imagine all your frustrations leaving your body. 

3.  Now take the bowl of water, and put three drops of your chosen essential oil in it.  Dip your fingers in the water, stirring slightly, and recite the following:

Blessed waters cool my spirit, 

Fill me with your soothing peace.

Like the river I shall flow Patiently,

with joy and ease Now 

4.  Blow out the candle and close your circle. 

If you like, you can keep a bowl of water with the essential oil in it on your altar – if you feel impatient again, inhale the scent of the essential oil while repeating the incantation.

Hope you found this useful!

Hugs and Kisses!

In the island I live in there is a legend about the origin of two lakes that were formed at the crater of a sleeping volcano. It is called The "Lagoa das Sete Cidades" (The Seven Cities's lake).

 The legend says there was once a blue eyed princess, and the princess hated being inside the castle walls feeling like a caged bird...

So she would run and dance everyday in the meadows and woods. She just loved the green, the birds's songs, the sea in the horizon...

One day she met a humble green-eyed Sheppard boy, and they talked all evening and even found out they had many common interests.

And so they would meet and talk everyday and eventually they fell on love.

But the princess destiny had been decided many years ago, for she was promised to a prince of another kingdom, in arranged marriage.

And as her father, the king, found out she had been seeing a Sheppard boy he immediately and totally forbid  her of ever again talking to him, because he was just a Sheppard from a poor family.

But he granted them one last date, so they could say goodbye, forever.

So they met one last time, they hugged and they cried. 

And they cried so much their tears formed puddles, and as they cried the puddles later turned into two lakes.

One of these, the blue lake, had it's color due to the princess blue eyes.

The other one had it's color from the Sheppard's green eyes.

And now they are forever side by side ...

If you would like to one day get to know this wonderful making of nature you must visit "São Miguel" island, In the Azores Archipelago, Portugal.

I hope you enjoyed reading!

Hugs and kisses,

      The problem with society is that in everyday life, people feel more inclined to throw up the middle finger than they do the peace sign, they would rather glare at you as an act of intimidation than smile at you as a gesture of love and they are more likely to tell you to fuck off than to have a nice day.. this is disgusting, horrible and really upsetting and it shouldn't be this way...

In my own way I try to change this...

Is my effort worth it? I don't care...

But a better world with less judgement and hate, and more peace and love is totally worth it.

"The world is full of nice people, if you can't find one, 

be one"

-Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo-

      So, I've just watched an YouTube video that made me think about why most of my relationships (both romantic and friendship-based relationships) failed.

      In that video, the Buddhist nun Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo talked about what is love by attachment, the one that hurts, and true, genuine love. Here are her words, or you could just skip to the bottom of the page and just watch the video.

        "The problem is that always we mistake the idea of love for attachment. We imagine that the grasping and clinging that we have for in our relationships shows that we love, where as actually it is just attachment, which causes pain. Because the more we grasp, the more we are afraid to lose, then if we do lose, of course we are going to suffer.

Attachment says: you know I love you, therefore I want you to make me happy.

Genuine love says: I love you, therefore I want you to be happy. If that includes me, great. If it doesn't include me, I just want your happiness.

      Attachment is like holding very tight, but genuine love is like holding very gently, nurturing, but allowing things to flow, not to be held tightly.

The more tight we hold on to others the more we will suffer, but it's very hard for people to understand that, because they think that the more they hold on to someone, the more it shows that they care about them, but it's not.

Its really just that they're holding and grasping so tightly because they are afraid that they themselves will be hurt.

Any kind of relationship that imagines that we can fulfill ourselves through another, is bound to be tricky.

Ideally people should come together already feeling fulfilled within themselves, and thus just appreciating that in the other, rather that expecting the other to supply that well-being, which they don't (but should) feel on their own..." 

- Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo

Most people (as I did too) don't even know what love is, they just think of it as owning and controlling someone, and no happiness could come from that.

True love doesn't mean total attachment!

Thank you so much for this teaching, Jetsunma!
