When I first started Reiki, I came across this word:
Seishin-ryoku. (Say it with me: say-sheen-ree-oh-koo. You nailed it!) This Japanese word basically means “mental/ emotional strength” or “spiritual power,” and couldn’t we all use a little more of that these days? Cuz everything lately has been big Yikes on friggin bikes! 😂
🪷 It seems like life just LOVES to test us sometimes right?
One day you’re vibing out, at peace with everything and the next, the universe is hurling retrograde energy your way, leaving you wondering if you have the strength to handle one more “I hope this finds you well” email. 😑
🪷 BUT- our Seishinryoku is like a shield that helps us rise above the chaos of life. How? By taking a moment to pause, breathe, and maybe stop doom-scrolling (yep, I’m calling you out- as well as myself!
🪷 Daily meditation practice is one of the best ways to do this. It’s kind of casting a protection spell for your mind and soul- at least for me lol. Every breath clears out the squatters in your mind, builds resilience, and connects you with your higher self. Then you’re like, “I can handle anything- let me hop on the bike cuz the yikes are gone!”
🪷Meditation helps us not to just survive life’s daily bullcrap, but thrive! You start to feel calmer and more focused, and find the strength to handle those annoying ass emails.
🪷There’s literally studies that show daily meditation can reduce anxiety and improve focus and mood. So, remember Seishinryoku and become like a Buddha.
🪷 You can start small- even if it’s only 2 minutes a day- stay consistent, and watch your life shift for the better. All it takes is one breath at a time.
🪷You got this — and I gotchu too! 💜
