Note:

July’s Reiki Rechargeā„¢ posts have been centered around a theme of being present in a self-care kinda way:

  • Take a breath.

  • Take a moment.

  • Anger is self care.

I’m conscious of today being the last week of July and also the first day of August. I wonder if this ā€œthresholdā€ day is what makes this post possible.

Last week, I gave myself space to feel anger. Today, I wrap myself into a warm, loving memory.

The weekend started with softness and safety.

Last weekend, eleven of us flew to a family reunion in New Jersey. We spent the night before the super-early flight laughing and eating the most delicious paninis ever pressed, then contentedly sleeping in piles of softness and safety.

Each summer, the night before our flight to Newark is one of my favorite days of the year. It’s kind of a pre-game evening when we assemble in the family home (apartment) nearest the airport, our hearts full of excitement and expectations.

The vibe in the apartment feels like the air after a rain. We set aside aggravation from traffic and travels and just hug and enjoy being together. I still carry the feeling of being seen and loved. I’m holding onto it for dear life.1

Mesmerizing pool water … I cropped out the splashy children who were having the time of their life.

Abrupt ending is intentional. Wanting end the message and send the Reiki while carrying the strength of this loving, safe, fearless feeling.

May we all know softness and safety in our lives. And may we tap into the feeling whenever we need.

I am grateful.
