New Moon

We entered the New Moon phase last night. So today is the first full day of our beautiful New Moon.

The celebration of the new moon is a women's holy day in the Hebrew tradition. Rosh Chodesh as it is called. A time to rest, relax and just be. Celebrating the start of a new month.

New moon is also a good time for starting new projects, implement new goals and work towards growth in what ever endeavor you have set forth.

I believe it is very important to take time and acknowledge the cycles of our planets. Those very cycles are very much a part of your life and should be witnessed. The changing of the seasons and even night into day.

When we take time to observe change that is going on around us...the ebb and flow of life's energy it helps us to stay centered and focus on what is within.

Our body is part and parcel of the earth and what ever affects the earth also affects our body, mind and spirit.

I am thankful for the opportunity to see yet another New Moon in my lifetime here on Mother Earth.

Just for Today, I will take time to acknowledge the wonders of the passing of time. And will be that much more conscientious of how I number my days.

Just For Today

In my opinion Usui-sensei was a very wise man by leaving us the inheritance of the Gokai & the Five precepts.

Just for Today....is a very simple maxim but profound in so many ways.

It reminds us to Be Here Now... that only Today, only this moment is all that we can
or need to work with.

What issue are you dealing with? What issue causes you to fret, to become anxious about and lose sleep?

Just for Today... tell yourself...

Just For Today....
I will not worry....

or

Just For Today
I will not smoke....

Just for Today....

What ever your issue is when it crops up to hover over you
recite this gokai and add your own precept behind it or just use
the one Usui-sensei our Reiki Master left for us.....

And it is important, while reciting, to remember to BREATHE...Life?energy is truly in the Breath.

JT from one of the Reiki Forums I am apart of posted this in response:

Henry David Thoreau said;

"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."

and

"Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains."
