Rose Reiki - Human kind

Humans can be a cruel lot. Road rage - wanting to get somewhere so fast that the driver will try and get their car into your boot; trolley rage, pub rage, and so on.
Why is it that most people these days seem to be very wound up, stressed and angry? Busy lives, demanding jobs, not enough me time.
It's such a shame that something has been lost from most people. Kind words, a smile, a good deed, a feeling of compassion for all around.
Even the smallest deed can make you feel so good about yourself - letting someone out of a junction, helping to pick something up.
Today I gave some reiki healing to a person who had injured their hand. They were very cynical about reiki and remained so afterwards, but all the time I was sending healing to them I sensed they were very wound up and stressed. The person admitted they were and that they did not sleep well. We'll see if they take up the full reiki treatment offer. That would help, as well as looking at lifestyle and what other changes could be made.
And that's what it comes down to, making subtle life changes to alter the way we are. Maybe one day, the world will come round full circle again and people will start to chill out and enjoy life again without going to the extremes - excessive drinking, partying and drugs.

Love and light

Rose Reiki - drums

Well I've gone and done it this weekend....bought a drum. Egged on by my son who had seen the drummers at the festival we went to a few weeks ago. We both loved the sound and the feelings it gave us. We really felt the vibrations deep inside our tummies.
Anyway while out at the weekend we came across a shop selling musical instruments and there was a bodhran (which I've been told you pronounce bow-run?). I don't think our neighbours will love us very much, unless we drum a rhythm which affects them!?
The rest of the weekend has been spent in the summerhouse at the bottom of the garden learning how to use the thing. I think we're getting the hang of it and how to use the beater. Afterwards we both felt very good - a great way of getting rid of feelings.
I'm not a musical person - I cannot play any kind of instrument, though I enjoyed the recorder when I was a child. So here's to our drumming. I'm going to have read up on it and learn a bit more. I don't want to end up with one of those impulse buys that you never bother with again!
I'm off to a do a bit of drumming now and see if I can drum away this rain shower we're having! :)
