Don’t Believe The Ads!

Starting a business is exciting, but also challenging, slow and frustrating, at least, for me, it is. From idea to reality is a lot of planning and re-planning. I love doing reiki and I want to bring my gift to help others. I think I need to find a way to do it that is outside the norm of a website. I seriously feel like going to a busy shopping mall with a big sign that says, Come for a reiki session – first 5 clients pay is just a google review! I think it would work. I think those 5 people would need to know a lot of people so that word of my business could spread. How about filling in a form with your email address and phone number and I will pick 5 to get a reiki session for a google review? Then I can offer some special offers to the remaining people that bothered to even fill in a form. Where can I do something like this? Do I need a vendors permit or can I just hope I get a bunch of people to provide me with email and phone contacts, before I get told to leave the area? And read on to see why I can’t even get a google review yet:

You know those ads that say, building a website is so easy, I got my website up in one afternoon. Who are they kidding? Well, me, for one. Because I don’t know a thing about websites, I believe I can build a website with no knowledge. Silly me. I feel like I should know better, I am an educated person, with a university degree and more than one college diploma, in various fields. Maybe if you are familiar with technology or you have someone in your circle of family or friends that can help. If I do have someone, that’s available, I don’t know it. My only tech savvy person is extremely busy now and not able to help me. I just found out that when people search for a reiki place in London, Ontario, my website does not even come up! You need a different kind of page for that, apparently. What?! Why didn’t anyone tell that a month ago when I was researching a website? Why don’t the website building apps have that as part of the program? I was able to find information about SEO picture quality and top things to know to make an effective SEO page. I’m feeling very drained and melting into my chair. I just found a highly rated website builder in my ‘hood. Can you believe they are too busy and not accepting new clients at this time?!!! Arrgggghhhhh.

I have often felt, over the past couple of years, (after something happens) that I don’t know the right questions to ask prior to starting something – and if I did know the right questions, I may not have begun. I want this to stop – but somehow it is not stopping. I keep doing things -like trying to start a business and making a website – that I do not even know what to ask to start. I just want to give reiki to help people and so I jump in and start. Then I deal with problems, not problems so much as situations/challenges, as they arise and carry on. Anyone else relate to this?

Okay – I must go now to search for a local website builder, because I want someone local so I can feel like they will understand better what I need if they live in the same area and are doing business in the same area as I am. Breathing deeply and going to close my eyes and go within now. I wish you, dear reader, more peace and ease with what ever project or new beginning you are working on than I am currently having now. I know it will work out, eventually, for me, so I am soldiering on, with God leading my way. Love and Light.

The Healing Touch: Unlocking the Mysteries of Reiki

Welcome back to my blog, where I delve into the fascinating world of Reiki, an ancient Japanese healing technique that has gained popularity for its numerous physical, mental, and emotional benefits. In this post, I’ll explore the transformative power of Reiki and how it can enhance your overall well-being.

What can Reiki do? Why should I try it?

  1. Understanding Reiki: Reiki, which translates to “universal life energy,” is a holistic healing practice that originated in Japan. Practitioners channel this energy through their hands, promoting balance and harmony within the recipient’s body, mind, and spirit.
  2. Stress Reduction and Relaxation: One of the primary benefits of Reiki is its ability to induce deep relaxation and reduce stress. By promoting a state of calmness, Reiki helps the body release tension, facilitating the natural healing process.
  3. Balancing Energy Centers (Chakras): Reiki works on the principle that our bodies contain energy centers, or chakras, which can become blocked or imbalanced. Reiki sessions aim to cleanse and balance these energy centers, promoting a free flow of energy throughout the body.
  4. Boosting the Immune System: Regular Reiki sessions may contribute to a strengthened immune system. By addressing imbalances in the body’s energy, Reiki supports the body’s natural ability to heal itself, helping to prevent illness and promote overall health.
  5. Emotional Healing: Emotions are often stored in the body, leading to physical discomfort and disease. Reiki helps release pent-up emotions, fostering emotional healing and providing a sense of inner peace. Many people report a heightened sense of clarity and emotional well-being after Reiki sessions.
  6. Pain Management: Reiki has shown promising results in managing pain, whether it’s chronic pain or discomfort from injuries. By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, Reiki can alleviate physical pain and contribute to a greater sense of comfort.
  7. Improved Sleep Quality: Sleep is crucial for overall health, and Reiki may help improve sleep quality. By calming the mind and reducing stress, Reiki sessions can create an environment conducive to restful and rejuvenating sleep.
  8. Spiritual Growth and Awareness: Beyond the physical and emotional benefits, Reiki is known for its potential to enhance spiritual growth and awareness. Many practitioners experience a deepened connection with their inner selves and a heightened sense of purpose.

Incorporating Reiki into your wellness routine can be a transformative journey towards holistic well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, emotional healing, or spiritual growth, Reiki offers a gentle and powerful approach to restoring balance and harmony in your life. Consider exploring this ancient healing art and unlock the mysteries of Reiki for yourself. Love and Light.
