Some of you may have noticed my Reiki Intro Zoom session scheduled for this Friday. Out of love and concern, a few have pointed out that it might seem inappropriate, especially since we are currently in the 7th month 👻 of the Lunar calendar, often considered an inauspicious time.
I understand these concerns, but as someone who practices energy work, I chose to proceed with the post based on the following thoughts:
YIN & YANG ☯ Balance is essential in all aspects of life. While many of us are more familiar with Yang energy, Yin is equally important. It's not as challenging to work with as it might seem; we just need to understand its principles.
PERCEPTIONS of AUSPICIOUSNESS 🌚 🌝 When I visited the Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh a few months ago, the rows of headshots reminded me of a high school yearbook.
It made me reflect on how some modern practices, like associating images with inauspiciousness, are relatively new and often instil unnecessary fear 😱. In ancient times, even tombstones didn’t have photos.
My point is that many of these beliefs are modern constructs that didn't exist in the past. While it’s important to be respectful 🫡 of traditions, it’s equally important NOT TO BE RULED BY FEAR.
