Just for today I will do my work honestly is the 4th Reiki principle.
It's a guide to remind us to authentically be ourselves everyday, without pressure.
Just for today.
So when I woke up feeling drained and depleted with a long to do list, instead of pushing myself and berating myself, I chose to remember.
I remembered to listen to my body asking me to take it easier today.
I remembered we're in the waining part of the lunar cycle which encourages us to slow down, to release, to let go.
So instead of being uncomfortable in clothes, sat at my dest in my office. I chose to put my pj's on and sit comfortably on the sofa instead.
I took the pressure off and gave myself permission to just do as much as I could.
And you know what, instead if feeling like s**t and talking trash to myself as I forced my mind and body to do something it wasn't aligned with, I was kind to myself and actually did a good job and still got plenty done!
That's what living in flow looks like, harnessing the power of the Moon and Reiki.
Did you manage to work honestly today?
I'd love to know.
Much Love, Emily 💜
