Just for today…
Channeled message from Higher Self on Tuesday 12.17.24:
Allow yourself to see past the surface, into the depths of your heart. Look through the veil of noise and irritants, and see the peace within. Look past the programs, the norms, and the standards you once held yourself to, and reveal your truth.
Seek intention. Feel the heart connection within each idea, within the delivery of each word, gaze, and action. Feel the excitement, the joy that sparks under your skin. Allow yourself to feel on a deeper level, not just the sensory sensation, but the embodiment of frequencies.
Allow yourself to be guided by this embodiment.
When in doubt, disconnected, or unsure, ask yourself, “Does this serve me today?” Does this work, this action, this food, this thought, this conversation, or this relationship serve me today?
Just for today. Does this serve me?
Yesterday, I asked Spirit for help. I surrendered the overthinking, overwhelm, and discomfort that had been itching under my skin for a few days to my Highest Self. I asked for guidance and pulled an Oracle card. I received the message it’s time to forgive yourself, time to practice Pono Pono. In the Hawaiian tradition, from which this practice originates, it’s called Ho’oponopono, or to set things right.
And it is not something you can do with your mind. It is something you feel and move from your heart. Living in my overthinking logic seeking mind is what brought on the discomfort in the first place. So I went to the mirror, looked into my eyes, connected to my heart, and said the following:
“I am responsible for this situation. I feel so sorry for this.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.”
And the release I was seeking came.
I cried. I slept peacefully.
And I woke feeling unburdened and deeply connected. And the message I received brought me back to the simplicity of the Reiki precepts, and the importance of the words, just for today.
Doesn’t that make life simpler? Just for today. It certainly reduces the overwhelm. It’s a reminder to stay present. It reminds us that worrying or wondering about the future does not serve us, it certainly doesn’t solve anything. It also allows for freedom! To admit to ourselves that something does not truthfully serve us today, we can then give ourselves permission to say ‘No’ to all that does not align, without attachment or guilt. It allows us to love ourselves without condition!
And so I share my interpretation of the Reiki precepts with you, may they be a guiding light for you in times of darkness:
Just for today, I will love.
Just for today, I will trust.
Just for today, I will be kind to myself and others.
Just for today, I will be honest.
Just for today, I will be grateful.
May the light within you shine brightly today and attract all that your heart desires.
