On a recent trip to Chicago for a family wedding, we went to Millennium Park. Since the weather was wonderful for an October day in Chicago, we bought sandwiches, picnicked and enjoyed people watching. With Mindfulness, everything and everyone…every sound…was interested and inviting. After we took photos by the Cloud with what seemed like at least 100 other folks, we started strolling around this wonderful park. All of a sudden I saw these brightly smiling young faces of college age women; they were Psychology students and had an assignment to offer ‘hugs’ to individuals and then ask them a few questions about whether they felt better after the hugs and if they felt more connected. We had such a joyful interaction that we also wound up taking photos together. I must admit that even though I had been feeling very happy and connected on a body-mind-spirit before the hugs, I definitely felt even better afterwards.
Feeling more deeply connected with oneself, with others if you are working on another individual and spirit is also what happens with Reiki. For so many of us, even if we are
Hugs (like Reiki) can make one feel more Connected!
feeling well before giving a Reiki session, we usually feel even healthier, fuller and more connected afterwards.
