Inner turmoil had me for years
then slow quit me the loathsome fears
Within heart I have quelled my tears
Energy within me grew strong

Powers surging within bosom
Liquid nourishment for blossom
Spirit alone though not lonesome
the internal chaos long gone

I have put my questions to rest
all answers standing to the test
of internal peace, my conquest
Petals above my head bloom bright

In becoming

In becoming

There are seasons in my art
of coming changes to impart
soul from the Earth soon to depart
There are movements in my chest’s space

Shadows twirling and unwinding
towards a final test pointing
they describe a last reckoning
Initiation a contest

The white clouds in forming whisper
memories of green, now a blur
opposites within me murmur
on how to attain the balance

I know dainty schemes of stillness
setting my heart to forgiveness
they distill time beyond duress
forgetting past hurt left behind

My inner skies set in light blue
follow my soaring spirit’s hue
bonding with galaxies anew
my mind expands into their light

Peace and happiness face the void
The urge to fight back I avoid
I am of all black thoughts devoid
In becoming I accept all

Reiki Okuden level

This weekend I attended reiki Okuden level. Those who know me are aware that I do pranic healing after having taken successfully the 5 levels of pranic healing courses at the Grand Master Choa Kok Sui centre in Dubai. I have been doing pranic healing since 2017 after having initially started doing energy healing in 2013 and I am now headed towards becoming a Reiki Master which I hope to achieve before the end of the year.

During this level of reiki healing we were introduced to three Reiki symbols that we could use in order to better define the flow of Reiki. The symbols that would be drawn would also be associated to mantras that could be chanted under one’s breath or aloud and Kotodamas (a series of vowels derived from the mantras) to chant. At the Master level we are supposed to be introduced to the fourth and last symbol.

The first symbol we were introduced to was that of power that could be used for grounding, protection, cleansing, to remove physical blockages, for charging or cleansing crystals and for psychological blockages. The mantra associated with it is CHO KU REI (Tcho Koo Ray) and the Kotodama is O U E I (Ow Ooh Ay Eee). At home, I used this symbol to strengthen one of my knees that had been slightly flailing.

The second symbol which I really liked was the symbol of harmony, which could be used to recalibrate communication, to start healing someone with a difficult emotional state, for balancing, to help sleep, etc. The mantra associated with it is SEI HE KI (Say Hay Kee) and the Kotodama is E I E KI (Ay Eee Ay Kee). At home, in the evening, I drew the symbol in the space on all four walls in my living room and immediately felt a sense of harmony fill the space around me.

The third symbol which I also liked a lot was the connection symbol that was one of the most elaborate ones of the three that I have been shown. This symbol could be used to connect to pure consciousness and as denoted by its name, it could be used as a bridge between two things that would otherwise not have a common denominator. Say for example one wanted to make a conflict go away or at least lessen it, one could draw this symbol between both camps to the conflict and flow Reiki within that space. The mantra associated with it is HON SHA ZE SHO NEN (Hon Sha Zay Sho Nen) and the Kotodama is H(O) A ZE H(O) NE (Oh A Tzay Oh Nay)

I have already started doing healing using these three symbols and am very much looking forward to doing my Master course and healing from that premise in the future. I also have my sights set on other modalities of healing such as Jin Shin Jyutsu and healing through the higher self with the college of healing hoping that this would offer the people I heal a really large palette of healing methods and in some instances I could actually combine two or more of these methods.
