Thanks Wayne, that's really kind of you.
I only do one morning a week, there are others that do much more, 20 hours a week some on a voluntary basis. In fact i don't know how the government would run the country without all the voluntary workers in centres, whether it's rehab, hospice, sports clubs, the list goes on and on.
My class is compulsory, so the meditation, the classes on chakras, stress factors, all those elements are compulsory and the students have to participate.
However i have always been taught and always stress that reiki has to be something that you choose for yourself, you can't force someone to do something that they aren't ready for. We don't know what spirit has planned for anyone's life, and have to respect everyone's free will. If people choose to ruin their lives and their families lives through their addiction, rather than embracing something like reiki that can be of enormous benefit in facilitating change, ultimately that is up to them.
And i think that is a huge part of it, fear of change. We as humans tend to stick with what we know, even if it's something that we know is bad for us and hasn't worked for us in the past, instead of surrendering to the flow of spirit. Hopefully reiki will facilitate that change. And who knows, if it makes a big difference to the few that have received their initiation in this particular centre, then maybe more might decide to try it. A snowball effect.
