Good morning on this lovely crisp morning.
Some words for you to contemplate on for the week.
Recognising the Pattern Within
In the light of the Reiki precepts, we are invited to take full responsibility for what arises within us, especially when we feel triggered.
Just for today, do not fuel anger… is not a command to suppress, but a compassionate reminder to pause, to witness.
Anger, like all emotions, is a messenger. Yet so often, we direct our reaction outward, convinced that another person or situation is the cause of our suffering. This is a well-worn pattern, a habit of the false self—a belief that if we react or retaliate, the inner discomfort will lessen.
But true healing begins when we turn inward and recognise:
This reaction lives in me. This is my work.
When we respond from anger, we repeat and grow the cycle of hurt. But when we breathe, become still, and choose not to speak or act in the heat of the moment, we allow the precepts to anchor us in responsibility, awareness, and compassion and strengthen the practise of awareness.
Through this practice, we dissolve the illusion of blame.
And with gentleness, we begin to shift the pattern—from reaction to understanding, from projection to presence.
Just for today… may I be kind to myself and others.
Even in the storm.
Have an inspiring week 🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼
