When the Resistance Comes to Play – Week 2
Just for today, I shall gently and tenderly meet myself, even when i’d rather not
Welcome to week 2, my love.
(Or before, if Resistance with a capital R has showed up already. She often does).
Here’s my main message for this week:
Resistance is not a problem.
It’s where the main work is.
If we can meet her with love, the true healing starts operating… and everything has a chance to transform.
Here, you’ll find self-reiki practices and practices to meet the most common forms of resistance.
If all is going beautifully, I celebrate that for you.
You will also find practices here to help you deepen and go further in your self-reiki,
and you can always refer back to the materials in your welcome week & in your first week here.
Listen to your message
Self-reiki for clearing the chakras
For when…
you want to meet yourself even deeper, meeting and clearing each and every chakra intentionally as you go
Self-reiki for when you’re tired
For when…
you’re tired and feel trepidation in connecting to reiki. This will help you feel held and ease into it without effort or performance.
RAIN –
Recognition, Allowing, Investigating, Nurturing
For when…
something is coming up in your self-reiki and it baffles you and you’d like to spend more time with it.
Inner child healing
For when…
there’s a pattern showing up for you that started in child hood. This will allow you to connect with your little one and help soothe her (and maybe even shift the pattern)
Moving through anger
For when…
anger, irritability or annoyance come up and you’d like to move it through your system (and restore your boundaries)
Meditation for safety & connection
For when…
you feel on edge, lonely or misunderstood. … or…
For when it’s hard to connect with your roots and your grounding
Clearing your energy
For when…
you’re filled with other people’s energy – worrying about them, thinking about them, predicting what they’ll do or think. This helps you come back to yourself.
Calling your power back
For when…
your energy is scattered, you find it hard to sit down or focus, and everything feels more important than sitting down with yourself. .
Go to the meditation library
This is where you’ll find all the meditations in one place.
What to focus on
in week 2
Welcome to week 2
You made it to day 7. Whether you did all 7, or just 1, it’s worth celebrating.
& if it’s less than you’d like? That means there’s possibly some juicy resistance afoot… and that’s good news.
Why? Because if you’re able to send some love to that, to the part of you that doesn’t want to heal, that wants things to stay fragmented so you can stay “safe”, healing is not far behind.
The resistance doesn’t need overriding. It needs listening. It needs loving. It needs integrating.
That’s what these practices are here to help you do.
How to use these practices
Here’s my suggestion:
Everything is feeling smooth, lovely, yummy?
Keep going with the self-reiki practices.
You’re struggling to show up, feeling anxious or irritable, and like something’s UP?
Try one of the other energetic practices specifically designed to help you integrate these energies.
Want to go all in?
Maybe do both 😘
What to do next
Reiki tends to connect us to our next healing step.
Is it possible you’ve been getting some nudges of things to do differently in your actual life?
Try them.
Big change happens in small steps. 😘
