Sometime between 2017-2018 Cara was inspired to start her secondary Facebook page Creatively Cara - The Heart Center to be the gentle daily Loving reminder to herself, that our happiness and humanity starts with our daily practice of Self Love, which basically is our well being and our daily Self Care. As we are taught as children, we must wash ourselves and brush our teeth every morning, so we must wash and brush away any stagnant memories/energies from yesterday as today is a new day and there is potential for so much that we innately block ourselves from receiving, because we are too afraid to take action and truly seak what is seeking us: our full potential! Just by being your authentic self! Every single second, of every single day, for the rest of your life.
Question is: Do you even know who this truest self is? Or are you still clinging to the past that got you to the top of the highest mountain peak so that you could be sage and far from fear? Or.... are you taking time to heal yourself, your soul? Have you taken time with yourself lately? Or are you still neglecting self care? Have you told yourself how brave you've been lately? Or is it still a pity party inside your head, broken record of the same song and dance from your troubled teens?
Do you shower once a day, or at least every other day?
What is your hygiene like?
In Loving ourselves down to the smallest imperfection, we are taking complete responsibility for our own Joy, Health, and Wellness by ultimately stepping into complete harmony with ourselves, God and the Universe.
Every day is a conscious choice to show up with an open heart and open mind. Each time we choose to express Love and Gratitude for the many blessings in our lives, as taught through the 5 Reiki precepts, we are no longer allowing despair or suffering to take up space in our conscious lives and we remain open to the joy and harmony that Life truly wants us to partake in. Much like the Sun rises every day, each day is full of potential for Love and Gratitude. another way to see it: more reasons to collaborate with your friends and coworkers. More opportunities for growth and harmony. Spread the joy? Share the Love? Ever heard of these sayings? Crystal clear? This must "ring" true, somehow? All these old sayings, held power over us at some point in the past, and told us this false narrative on how the world really works. As if there was some old man in the sky, that was patiently waiting for me to finally connect "THAT" dot.
My Commitment to Reiki - The 5 Basic Principles:
Each day we are given the conscious choice to choose our reactions to Life, and all that actively comes into our lives.
Stuck on the highway driving to work?
Taking the bus and there aren't enough seats?
Waiting in line for your coffee or tea or donut?
Take the time to remember (5) things that you are grateful for.
We don't always have control over how life shows up at our door, but we do have control over how we decide to React in any given situation, may it be with family, friends, or society at large.
As Master Mikao Usui teaches through his practice of Reiki, we are ultimately Responsible for our Reactions,
and for our output and intake of Reiki (Rei = Vital Life force) (Ki = Energy).
With this in mind, we are more likely to find discretion in our Reactions, and how we choose to Show up to Life.
We are taught Patience, Respect, and Diligence through the daily practice of Reiki.
As we go throughout our day, we have the Responsibility to check in with ourselves and ask ourselves:
Am I being honest with myself? Am I being honest with others?
Through our daily upkeep, we learn how to "keep Up" with life at the same time. Learning to truly balance our busy work schedules is crucial. As a Life Coach/Mental health advocate, It is my job to show up CLEAN, on all levels. Not many people can say that on a regular basis. So it is a major issue with the mental health sector and its lack of funding for better utilities and
Much like we abide by the basic principles of the 10 commandments from the Bible, and our basic human needs & rights of living and breathing, these 5 Principles were created to help us get in touch with our Intrinsic individual Self. Period. Spirituality? Of course!
Try repeating these 5 basic rules once a day and see how things change.
-1- Just for today, I will not be angry. -2- Just for today, I will not worry. -3- Just for today, I will do my work honestly. -4- Just for today, I will respect my neighbour. -5- Just for today, I will treat all living creatures with loving kindness.
