Finding our inner balance can be challenging at the best of times.
We often are caught between action and rest, and the learning of how we maintain this balance without reaching burnout, overwhelm, sickness or disease is quite often harder than we think.
Returning to balance will firstly start within, it’s an inner process and state of being.
But ways to support the inner energetic state to become balanced we can utilise the basic and natural elements within nature & the practice of reiki.
Below are some simple practices that you can use to allow the inner state to become more calm, still, regulated and balanced within.
1. Find a place to sit quietly in nature, or if you can’t find nature, just a peaceful place for yourself.
Close your eyes down, connect to your breath, your Mauri (life force energy) Breathe deeply, nice long inhale and exhale.
As you start to connect and find a rhythm, visualise the waves of the ocean lapping the shore. Imagine you’re one with the waves. Do this for as long as you feel comfortable, don’t over do it.
Return to your natural breath, take a moment here to sink into complete presence and stillness within. Let everything drop away, allowing your shoulders to drop, body relaxed and just be.
When you’re ready slowly open your eyes, with a smile and gratitude for this moment in time.
2. Find a body of water that resonates for you. I personally love the ocean as it has many amazing benefits, but all water holds potent power.
Maybe you will use a river, estuary, lake, bath or the ocean.
Create a gentle and safe space to enter the water, it doesn’t have to be deep. If you can allow yourself to float on your back, this practice can require assisted support or if able to do alone allow yourself to surrender gently, let the ocean support & hold you. Slow your breath and allow yourself to become calm. Lay here for as long as you feel, becoming present. Your internal state will start to return to balance with the power of your inner waters meeting the outter waters. Let your mind become peaceful.
When you’re ready allow your feet to connect to the ground, set an intention & share gratitude to the waters.
