Developing Spirit Greatness

It is never too soon to begin developing the spirit.


However, there are instructors who disagree with that approach. Their belief is that matters of the spirit are not teachable and that it is a waste of time to devote any part of your study to anything other than technical proficiency. In one sense, that view is correct. The development of the spirit is an ongoing, personal experience.


A teacher may lead the way by his or her example but there is very little they can do to actually "teach" spirit. But, if one day you wish to have a large, beautiful pine tree as the center-piece of your garden you do not wait until you are old to plant the seed. The seed must be planted early and the tree nurtured over the years if it is to be truly grand at the end of your life. The same can be said of the development of the spirit.


What makes healing with Reiki so special?  Nothing, really, because Reiki is only one pathway among many we travel through life. Truth, Goodness and Beauty, however, are by no means exclusive to the practice of Reiki. These qualities have been an integral part of every culture throughout history and are fundamental to the creation of our arts, philosophy, and religious activities.


So, why do most great masters impress upon their students the relationship between spiritual development and practice?  Because it is an excellent vehicle for the study of the human character and condition, and it works well in concert with all of life's other spiritual paths. Everyone that watches an accomplished practitioner is struck by the simplicity of the act of giving Reiki, and it is easy to imagine that the same thing goes through their mind as went through ours upon seeing Reiki for the first time: That there doesn't appear to be much going on.


Ah, but therein lies the beautiful paradox ...

Meditation: The Lesson of Rainbows - Transformation

O ka 'onohi ula o ka lani ko inoa ... The rainbow of heaven is your name.


‎"The rainbow is made in the sky out of a dripping cloud" says Western scientist Francis Bacon. Clouds and rainbows are inseparable; you cannot have one without the other. Clouds refract light into rainbows which act as pathways to the heavens of elevated consciousness and enlightenment. Clouds can also act to scatter light upon shadows of ignorance and lack of understanding. It is the shadowy side of your nature that is transformed by the rainbow.


Thus is the message:


Shine light upon any parts of yourself that interfere with your ability to express unity and wholeness. By doing so, you will be able to see things more clearly. In order to move on to new realms of existence, you need to allow the shadow of your subconscious fears to fade. By shining light on every part of your psyche, you will be able to overcome any obstacle. The rainbow reminds us of the presence of light during stormy times. It promises that if you shine brightly as you undergo transformation, your pot of gold will find you.

Take a comprehensive, good look at the foundation principles upon which you have built your present belief system. Have you changed them lately? Have you looked to see if they are valid for you any longer? Your foundation principles include people, or spirits, or Ascended Masters, or even spiritual practices that you have felt connected to in a special way for a long time that may have changed and require a closer look. Are there other foundation principles that move in to take their place? They were part of your “foundation” – folks, spirits, practices you relied upon for mentoring, teaching, growing - and now you have gained your own strength. You are now your own teacher, guide, mentor. You no longer need to “look up” to someone or something other than yourself. You can now see that we are all on the same path learning, growing, changing doing what is the highest good for our own sovereign journey into this new reality we are creating. As you head toward the Cosmic Convergence this October, it behooves you to take a look this July at what The Shift of June has created for you personally. Many of us have gone through quite a few changes or events or experiences, that have far reaching impacts on how we view ourselves and the world.
