Overcome negative thoughts using Reiki

Love is the answer

Being a Reiki Master does not mean that I am immune to negativity. I thought I would share some ways to overcome negative thoughts using Reiki, drawing from my own experiences.

The other night I was in a place where my thoughts and anxieties were running wild. Out of control! It is very distressing when old habits come back to haunt me. This used to be the normal way of my mind – a destructive path of self-inflicted cruelty.

The thing is though, when these negative thoughts start and come out of nowhere, I know there are hidden reasons. These reasons are deeply embedded into my cellular memory.

How did I overcome these thoughts?

I confronted my thoughts; it was like a game of tag! I was chasing them, trying to zap them into oblivion. Guess what? It did not work. So there I was, chasing my tail, going around in circles. To be honest, it was exhausting. At this point I realised; this is not the way!

So, what is the way?

There I was, with my enemy circling around me, I was in the middle of my mind’s tornado! Every now and again my mind wandered off. Trust me, this was just to drag in and lock onto some other memory or old habit!! I continued to sit in the middle, this time though I was observing my mind, my thoughts, and the feelings being invoked. This was not a pretty place to dwell in. All the negativity was like poison being pushed into my energetic self.

As I sat there, I realised that what I was immersed in was hate! What is the opposite to hate? Yes, it is LOVE. The vibration of love is so high and powerful. I remembered what Dr Mikao Usui said: Reiki is love, Love is wholeness, Wholeness is balance, Balance is well-being, Well-being is freedom from disease.

Now, I do not hate myself, but I was not being kind to myself that day. So, what was the catalyst to this tornado of negativity? My training always looks for a root cause.

The root cause of my negativity

I realised that the date of my negative thoughts was the 21st of August, which was the anniversary of my darling Mum’s funeral. Could this have been the catalyst, the trigger? I know there are a lot of possible unprocessed emotions. For sure this was the root cause.

I took an extremely deep breath, long and controlled and with purpose. I held this breath and exhaled slowly, cracked my neck, and got ready to HEAL.

I called in Reiki, my Guides, my Spirit Team, and unconditional love for myself, as well as forgiveness, understanding and compassion. I felt that this experience may have been caused by negative thoughts being sent my way too. Either way, I was not going to take any chances. Those thoughts and energies, they also needed healing.

Intentions are energy and have a lot of power

First, I set my intentions to heal with love, that everything I do is for the highest good of all concerned, and this includes me. I did not chase the thoughts, I embraced them. I gave every thought and every feeling love.

As I lay there, I visualised my guide. When we met my guide spoke to me and said, “Finally, we meet”. Placing their hands on my face, they spoke again – “I Love you, unconditionally” and then flooded my soul with the feeling of this unconditional love.

I placed my hands over my heart, and channelled Reiki into my heart. My intention was to fill my heart with the love that is Reiki. As I filled my heart with unconditional love, I projected this love towards the ‘mind tornado’ threatening to destroy my peace. With this love, I added forgiveness.

This forgiveness was for me, as I found myself being cruel about things I could not change. Firstly, these things are in the past, which means there is nothing that I can do to change what happened. I can only forgive and heal with love.

Then, in case there were possibly negative thoughts and intentions from an unknown source, I embraced them, forgave them, and healed the negativity with love. The tornado slowed; I then flooded the tornado with the healing light of Reiki’s positive energy. The tornado was gone. It really had stopped. There was no carnage, just Reiki and love.
