Ki
Energy
Does anybody really know what happiness is, and what’s
more, how to access it? We often feel it’s intoxicating
effects while....
• Holding a newborn
baby, who has just come into the world.
• Feeling the warm air
on a hot summer’s night.
• Being in the midst
of a loving embrace with another human being.
• Smelling the sweet
aroma of roses or any other God given flower on this planet
of ours.
I realise in this moment,
that there are many, many instances where one can feel happiness,
but I also know that for some, these moments of happiness
are few and far between.
We can all get caught up in
the ‘stuff’ of human life, in the negativity of
human thinking and the dwelling on situations which, with
a little bit of ‘love and light’ can be turned
around in an instant. September 11, 2003 was a day in which
I was reminded of how we humans can respond to certain situations.
That day marked the two year anniversary of the Twin Towers
Trade Center collapse. Whilst feeling a deep sadness for all
the lives lost on that day, must we relive it via the media
and television? I recall that day, glancing through the T.V.
guide and finding that scheduled to be shown at 9.40pm, was
(and I quote) “The Definitive story of the World Trade
Center disaster”. I am one who never understood why
news of this magnitude needs to be televised so late at night.
All news programs, whilst it’s good to keep people informed
of what’s happening in our world, are mostly of a negative
nature. A late night view of such a sad tragedy, detailing
the how’s, whys and wherefores of what took place, is
a sure guarantee that we’ll take it to bed with us.
There, the subconscious mind processes the information, creating
a less than peaceful night’s sleep.
If you are one who regularly
watches the late news before going to bed, why not try something
different for a week. Watch the news no later than 6pm each
night, and then spend the rest of the evening doing more enjoyable
things, such as reading, spending quality time with loved
ones, or opt for more light hearted televison viewing. Gage
your sleep patterns during that week. You may find you sleep
more deeply or that you have less sleep and yet function better
through the day. Take note of your dreams too. Do you normally
dream? Perhaps they will become more vivid and easier to remember,
or you find that you are dreaming less than before. On a day
to day level, monitor your state of ‘being’. Are
you reacting less to things that normally would be a real
issue? Do you feel happier? Whatever the results, it’s
sure to be an interesting and worthwhile exercise.
Our environment, the people
around us, and the way we were brought up, all play a big
part in the way we think, and the way we think determines
our state of ‘being’. Sitting in ‘fear’
keeps us stuck in worry and negativity. Sitting in ‘love’
enables us to think loving and light thoughts, thus creating
an inner sense of happiness. We have the power to transform
our fears into feelings of love, courage and peace. Our power
is proven by how infectious our state of ‘being’
is. Have you ever noticed how easily another person’s
mood can rub off on you? Choose to be happy!
'Ki'
energy is universal life force energy and this energy creates
a sense of well being in all of us, which in turn fills us
with motivation, lightness and a more positive mind. It helps
to maintain true happiness, this happiness of course being
Joy. Once accessed, it allows us to feel ‘happy’
a lot more often, leaving little room for thoughts that bring
you down. Joy comes from ‘within’ and cannot be
fulfilled by something outside of us...it is a feeling that
is born of pure contentment and cannot be affected by outside
influences. Outside happiness comes and goes but true happiness
is born of pure Joy. It resides within our hearts, resonating
outwards to all that we touch, see and do. When in this positive
state, you find yourself surrounded by other positive people
and in situations where the energy is conducive to bringing
out the best in you.
Right now in this moment,
think about where your life is at - how many happy experiences
have you had this morning, today, this week? What are your
surroundings? Are you where you want to be? Do the people
around you support you fully, or do you find yourself living
another’s dream and not your own? Do you take time out
for you? For example -
- indulging in a nice long
walk on the beach
- treating yourself to a
massage, especially when you feel the need
- having a relaxing bath
once a week
or, just simply curling up
somewhere comfortable, and reading a good book.
Doing things ‘for you’
is definitely a way in which to maintain that state of joy
that is within each of us, and in turn, create an abundance
of happiness and well being. Many do not realise that true
happiness is a result of our state of being - not a result
of what ‘we have’ or ‘don’t have’.
We can be truly happy by doing nothing - it is purely a question
of what we are being.
How often do you say something
like “when I am in a relationship then I’ll be
truly happy”, or “when I have the money, I’ll
go on that holiday or buy a house”. As stated earlier,
true joy is not a result of something outside of us...it is
a result of what and who we are. We need to ‘BE’
that. Only then can we have all that we desire.
The person who is ‘being’
happy will always have time enough to do everything, have
the money he or she needs to do it, and have all the love
in the world to go with it.
Picture this - you wake up
of a morning, thanking the universe for a good night’s
sleep and giving thanks for the day ahead. Having gratitude
also fills you with a sense of joy and purpose. You leave
for work only to arrive to an office full of stressed co-workers...and
it’s only 8.30am!! There you have a great opportunity
to share some of the love and light that you’re feeling
- in fact, you’d be sharing the love and light that
you are. In doing so, you ultimately bring out the love and
light in others’. Just an encouraging word and a smile
can fill someone with a sense of “Aaahh”! Before
you know it, their morning is looking brighter and what’s
more, the photocopier is suddenly working again!!
Everyday we are given opportunities
to turn someone’s world around and by just living who
we are, we brighten our own lives and those of others’.
The best way to live our truth is to look after the ‘Self’.
Being ‘selfish’ is a good thing, though for many
of us it is a strange concept to grasp, when for most of our
lives we were brought up to believe that we should always
do more for others’. On the contrary, when we put ourselves
first, it creates a sense of security within us, and we no
longer look to another for self gratification. In other words,
we no longer need others to make us happy. What’s more,
when you put your needs first, then you have the energy and
the desire, to really help another.
We are powerful beyond measure,
our thoughts create our existence, and the state of our world.
My name is Chiara Tino. I am a Reiki Master and Author. For
many years I have felt the power of Love and Light and known
the value of nurturing oneself, so as to maintain a state
of true happiness and well being. I have seen the effects
of love and light in everyday situations and the incredible
shifts that take place as a result. People live in either
love or fear and while fear is an emotion that cannot be denied,
there is no doubt that love is more powerful. Why, you ask
- because in essence, love is all there is!
Picture this - all people
everywhere waking up tomorrow and saying “Today, I put
myself and my needs first. I nurture in ways that I haven’t
done before and all else can wait”. To make a habit
of this weekly or even monthly helps to maintain a sense of
peace and harmony, leaving little, if no room, for anything
less than love. When ‘the Self’ is filled with
love and happiness, its only natural that you wish the same
for others’ and beyond. By this I mean - Mother Earth.
We are ‘One’ with Her as we are ‘One’
with each other. By accessing true happiness within ourselves,
we project it outwards to the people around us, and to our
planet.
