Slowly and steadily, our innate wisdom guides us in our own unique way. Nobody else can explain how it will be for us — we must patiently tread the path for ourselves.

I have waited patiently for this beautiful cherry tree to settle into its new home. Finally, after a lot of tender care and patience, we have a bumper crop of gorgeous juicy fruits ready for eating.

A thought popped into my head — for me, Reiki practice is a bit like this. With care, patience, and devotion to our daily practice, we teachers and practitioners alike will be rewarded over the years with a clearer vision of how the Reiki energy works and presents itself in varying ways through each and every treatment we give.

Some of my new students are very enthusiastic, often keen to understand how Reiki will unfold for them before they have had the benefit of varied experience over time.

Do you practice Reiki with patience and gratitude?
