Life Purpose Meditation using Reiki
One of the Reiki Precepts is "Just for today, earn your living honestly". This means so much more than its face value. It is to live one's own Truth, to live with integrity towards oneself and others. It is also to follow one's Life Purpose; to do what we love doing. If you do not yet know what your life purpose is, the following meditation may assist you to discover it.- Star by sitting or lying down comfortably, and steady your breathing until it is deep and slow and you feel centered.
- Fill yourself with Reiki from head to toe, until you can feel the Reiki vibrations in your hands, and sense that it is
flowing all around you, within your body, outside your body, filling your aura and raising your consciousness.
- Imagine yourself somewhere beautiful, a setting of your choice; a beach, or a flower-filled meadow, or a sunlit forest
glade, and spend a few moments connecting with that image engaging all your senses as you do so.
- Imagine that a little way ahead of you is a ladder, a rainbow, or a beam of light coming down from way up high, and
walk towards it and begin to climb up the ladder, or allow yourself to slide up the rainbow or beam of light. (If you have
Reiki second degree you can imagine that the ladder or beam of light is the Distant Healing Symbol, connecting you
with the higher realms.)
- As you climb higher you become aware that your body is becoming lighter, until you realize that while you are still
recognizable as you, you no longer have a dense physical body, but a body of beautiful, rainbow-coloured light.
- As you reach this realization, you also reach another higher dimension, and waiting for you are some wise beings of
light, and you can feel the happiness and unconditional love flowing from them as they welcome you.
- You follow them to a place where you can all sit together, and they invite you to ask whatever you need to ask. On this
occasion you have come to ask about your life purpose, and how much progress you have so far made on your life path,
and what else you need to do to fulfil your purpose and your potential in this lifetime.
- Give yourself plenty of time to receive the replies, which may be in words, images, symbols or physical objects,
showing where you are now, and where you are going. If you are presented with a scene you do not understand, ask for
clarification - these are high spiritual guides, including your Higher-Self, and their intention is purely to assist you as
lovingly as they can.
- When you sense that you have been given all the information that is there for you at this time, thank the Beings of Light
for their help and let them lead you back to the top of the ladder, rainbow or beam of light, but know that you may return
here whenever you wish to ask for guidance.
- With a final goodbye, allow yourself to slowly descend until you reach the bottom of the ladder, rainbow or beam of
light, and spend a few minutes in that beautiful place you have created remembering what you have experienced.
- Allow your awareness to return to your body, feeling the chair or bed beneath you, and hearing the sounds in the room.
If you feel a little dizzy, clap or shake your hands for a moment to bring you back into full awareness.
- Finally write down what you have just experienced, so you can examine it a few times to gain as much insight and
inspiration from it as you can. You may find you have been given a full life plan, or just one or two points, or the first
you do this exercise you may just get a feeling of deep peace, but persevere and in time you will get the information you
are seeking about your life path and life purpose.
