I recently needed to make a difficult decision that would lead to personal change. I spent a lot of time thinking about the decision I needed to make. During my decision-making process, I created blocks for myself with my limited thinking and my body clenched with worry. I was allowing the fear of change to wear me down. I was trying to project into the future, wondering what might happen once I had made the decision to change. Not knowing the outcome of my decision was leaving my ego feeling lost and out of control.
So, I opened my mind to receive some higher guidance and I sent Reiki to the situation. I asked the Universe what I could do to manage my fear of change. The message was clear: “Let life flow.” I know that life’s situations are constantly changing. But, on that particular day my looping thoughts had me fighting against change. After I asked for guidance and was reminded to “go with the flow,” I remembered that although I could not control the outcome of my decision, I could certainly change the way I thought about it. From there, I found peace within myself and I was able to make a conscious decision.
Once I began to feel comfortable with my decision, I told myself that regardless of the outcome, I needed to learn to trust myself. I also needed to release attachment to the outcome. I was worrying about things that had not yet happened, and those worries were leading to my stress. Being in a stressful state is out of alignment with my Higher Self and The Divine, so I turned my worry about change to gratitude. I stated to myself, “I embrace change.” Changing my outlook helped lead me back to my center, and from there I was able to bring light and joy into my energy field, creating a higher energy vibration. Being willing to look at change in a different way allowed me to walk through the doorway of fear and see that there are infinite possibilities on the other side.
We all deal with life situations in different ways. Perhaps positive statements or mantras can work for you too? Perhaps this is something you already practice? How will you keep your energy vibration high today? If you are finding that your thoughts and emotions are coming from fear, consider a Reiki session to help you find the calm and peaceful place within.
