Reflections

We all often reflect on what is going on in our lives and the lives of others. We sometimes change our course in the light of what we see in others actions and words. I guess there is always a danger that we reflect and end up thinking too much about stuff. I do.

A couple of very old commentaries have helped me with this....

What happened to you should have happened because it did…and no wishing can make it any different. Wishing reality to be different from what it is is like teaching a cat to bark.

Learn to wish that everything should come to pass exactly as it does

Paused for thought

It's been almost two years since the last post. A lot has happened, so where to start. Reiki is a good one - staying open to all possibilities is a good one too, and a challenging one. It takes a leap of faith and the funny thing is that after the first leap, leaps are always easier.

Control

How often have you heard the words 'control freak'? Quite a lot I'm guessing. I had a meeting today at which the person I was with commented on my tendency to want to control and this got me thinking... In nature, is anything controlled?

Feelings of control tighten us, they create seen and unseen restrictions, boundaries.

Someone once wrote that the best way to obtain power is to give it away, and that principle could apply equally to control - if you have ever suddenly felt 'in t...

Pathways

The other day I found a piece of paper that I'd created with my best friend a few years ago, and it reminded me of how simple things are when we want them to be. We travel along our path, experiencing this and that - hearing and seeing this and that, and along that pathway we make decisions. Those decisions keep us moving, either in the same direction or in another. Like travelling along a road, we sometimes know our way, we recognise the road - it's a well travelled road as they say - we know where we are going because we have been there before. At other times we see signposts and respond to what they are telling us - we react to them and alter our direction based on what they say. At other times, we register signposts to give us confidence that we are on the right track, we experience 'deja vu' or coincidences we just get that intuitive feeling that we are moving in exactly the right direction. I think this simple little topic is going into my book. Have a gre...
