Effortless Being

Effortless Being

As you embark on your Reiki journey, you come to the realization that there are times when it is best to Let Go and Let God.
Letting go of the past allows us to experience the flow of all things, including our own lives. Life has been likened to a river, and like the river, the flow of our time and of our lives is effortless.

There is a danger in always trying to alter things and arrange the world to suit ourselves. The saying 'go with the flow' means accepting what cannot be changed, accepting and loving life for what it is and realizing how limited our powers are to fashion it.

Exercise:
Sit on your meditation cushion, or on a chair. Close your eyes and watch your breathing for a moment or two. Notice the rise and fall of your abdomen and feel a sense of impermanence in the moment. In the act of breathing you are going with the flow of life. By going with the flow in meditation, you can come to realise that there is a part of yourself outside time, which is not subject to the change and impermanence of material life.
