2013 HIGHLIGHTS: Towards bigger purposes of life (POST 2)

I was introduced to Reiki in 2008, when I was dire straits about handling the pressures of life: A young child, a tough decision of leaving a corporate career behind for family, taking up teaching, sleepless nights, terrible back ache and anger issues. I decided to learn Reiki - Degree 1. You can read about it more here. To say that it helped me to be more competent to handle my life will be a major understatement. If I had temper issues rated at 9/10, I came down to less than 5/10 in a matter of maximum one month. My backache lessened by atleast 80% and it was a miracle for me. Not a single day went by without Reiki practice.

The last 3 years had been like a roller coaster for us. There were too many changes and too much of emotional issues to handle. It took toll. Somewhere I guess I was separated from my spiritual self. I had the deep guilt of loosing the spiritual connection between the universal powerful energy and me.

So when 2013 started, I vowed to settle the gap. I decided to go in for Reiki-2nd degree. Our Reiki master was sweet enough to take time out of his schedule to come from Mumbai, stay with us for 2 days and teach us. When he shared his spiritual experiences of the past 14 years (Can I mention here that he is 28 years old!), I was swept off my feet.
The experience came with a bonus. Anirudh got his first spiritual experience of Reiki-1. Yes, officially he can do Reiki now. But he will have to revisit the principles of Reiki and the details of it after a couple of years. At the age of 7, my son now understands what is Reiki, and what all magic can happen by channelizing this energy using his small hands.

Of all the things he spoke, there was one thing which struck me, which will remain with me for the rest of my life:

"If you are asking for something from God/Supreme, ask for something huge. Don't get wasted in small issues of life, they will anyway be taken care of. Instead ask for wisdom, enlightenment and spiritual development, because that is the essence of life. It will lead you to the correct place."
