Here's hoping!

I woke up today with an overwhelming sense of “I don’t want to do this”. Elliott was screaming and fussing from the minute his eyes opened and Sophie decided she would test my patience with every move she made. By 6am I had lost count of how many times I had said “Sophie, leave your brother alone!” and “Oh Elliott, give it a rest!” Things turned from frustration to laughter when I discovered Elliott in his room having the time of his life…he was emptying the baby powder all over the floor and gleefully stomping in it. What a sight! All I could do was laugh and enjoy the moment because after all, it was only powder J

By 9am our house was abuzz with activity because we hosted Mum’s Group here today. It was a really great morning and I am surprised how well the kids got on considering there were six of them stuck indoors thanks to the rain! They played with playdough and danced around to loud music like crazy kids, but the most fun they all had was playing babies in Sophie’s room. It was really just such a great morning.

To make today even better, I am heading over to a dear friends house tonight for a Reiki session! For those of you who are unfamiliar with Reiki, here is a brief overview of what it is all about, that I picked up from www.reiki.org:

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

So with this in mind, hopefully tomorrow I will be reporting to you all how fabulous and reenergised I feel. It will be my first Reiki experience so I am not too sure what to expect but I am looking forward to it like you wouldn’t believe! I am hoping this might be a great tool to utilise in getting my life on track and in a place where I want it to be. Fingers crossed and I will let you all know how it goes tomorrow xox
