If Tomorrow Never Comes Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Friday, December 14, 2012

God, And If My Time On Earth Is Through .. Yes, I am very much inspired with parts of the lyrics from the song 'If Tomorrow Never Comes' for my writing here today.  Such statement, 'if tomorrow never comes', has been asked - not exactly in that exact phrase but coined synonymously for end of time - by some people who have chatted with me these past few days. There is a growing awareness amongst us on the prophecy of Nostradamus and the Mayan calender about the end of the world on 21 December, 2012.  As the days draw near,...

Do We Mean What We Say? Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, December 03, 2012

God, Guide My Tongue So That I Can Only Speak The Truth. It is said that respect is earned and not given.  Ironically, the reality in all of us, we are often in a dominant mindset that we desire for respect to be given to us.  It is like an automatic virtue that we take for granted.  We desire to be respected by all the people we interact whether they are new in our lives, whether they are strangers and it does not matter if we just come to know another person.  Somehow, respect is garnered (without our awareness)...

I Am Not Going To Fight About It Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Thursday, November 29, 2012

God, Provide Me What Is Mine. Basically, there are two types of conduct that people will do to get what they want.  There is either a motivational goal where we fight for what we want or we choose to formulate in thinking to achieve its ends.  Either way, there is no right nor wrong representation as all human activities are aimed at something good, i.e. the goal to which they are directed.  However, the good is that, which one is attempting to achieve versus failure or just acting aimlessly. Either way, it shows...

Understand The Language Of The Universe Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Tuesday, November 20, 2012

God, Your Love Encompasses Without Words. Very often, when we are to meet a foreigner with a different language, the only way that we get to understand each other is through a sound language.  We sound the language that we know and with the help of our hands' gestures, somehow, communication is established.  While it is still so much a chicken and duck situation, we do get to cross over to interpret for a common language.  We are able to make conversation.  Though very likely, there is also a high chance where we are...

I Want To Write Miracle Stories Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, November 12, 2012

God, I Know You Hear Me This is the story where I believe a miracle is taking place.  As far as I believe, it is a miraculous progression on my spiritual faith.  It is a clarity in my insight towards the power of visualization and the power of prayer.  It is about, and with the awareness of the existence of my ego here, the possible highest knowledge that I have acquired thus far and how things work when I surrender to God for things to turn around. PERHAPS - yes, it is a big "perhaps" that the situation of my health...

Love Keeps All Creations Together Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, October 08, 2012

God, Shine Your Rays of Light Into Me and So To All The People I Love The one thing, and perhaps the only important thing, that I would allow my soul to nurture is to expand love in my Being.  But, before I let it to grow, it is important that I (must) know the life force energy it manifests.  It is important that I realize the fluid to how it flows and the crystallization it shapes.  The word 'Love' in itself is often misleading.  We often associate the word with the wonderful and majestic feeling of one that only...

Today Is Good, Tomorrow Is Better Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, October 01, 2012

God, You Open The Beauty of Your Creation And The Life Lessons That I Need To Learn. Thank You.  Island of Capri, Italy (Picture taken from Mount Solaro, the highest point on the island - 589 metres above sea level, with the view of the famous Faraglioni) For one, I feel blessed.  And, for its opportunity, I am grateful with all its kindness, charm and beauty and the enjoying favor.  Importantly, I am thankful at the wondrous of life that allows me to see, feel and experience at the world's old political and religious country...

The Hotels of Bangkok - Part Two Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Friday, September 28, 2012

God, I Am Grateful To Live In Your Abundance. This is the continuation on the hotels that we used to stay in Bangkok.  From here on, our priority has changed compared to the early days of our Bangkok holidays.  Do not get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the Silom, Surawong and Sathorn areas.  In terms of public transport, it is convenient.  There are both the BTS Sky Walk Trains and the underground MRT system.  Metered taxis and the local Tut-Tut taxis are every where in those vicinity and around the clock. There...

The Hotels of Bangkok - Part One Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Friday, September 21, 2012

God, Thank You For All That You Have Provided Me Somehow, we have become an information source for Bangkok.  Few friends and many of our family members have come to us for guides.  What surprises us most, these people who used not to like Bangkok are now so excited about going there.  They are looking forward to visit Thailand more often.  For readers who think that we know so much about this Land of Smile, the answer is 'no'.  We take no claims to know this country much but enough to make our holidays there...

The Broaden World, The Larger Mind Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Thursday, September 13, 2012

God, In You I Find So Much Peace In June 2011, I wrote about my transition (in Broaden The Mind, Broaden Thy World) which I thought would last me, err, forever.  I must say, reading through the article again makes me a failure now.  I feel that I have contradicted myself.  Then again, perhaps at that time I gave in so as to avoid the extra renovation when I was still not fully convinced with the wifi internet connectivity.  I mentioned, in that article, that I would still prefer a wired network. Note to myself: ...

When Mistakes Are Made Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Sunday, September 09, 2012

God, Fill My Waking Hours With Joy And Peace of Mind.  In My Sleep, A Bed Besides You. As humans, we can't never be free from making mistakes.  We just can't escape; no one is perfect. Though it is good to minimize its occurrence and not to duplicate them in magnitude, mistakes are realization best friend.  It is just the way things are.  Though we dearly love not to make mistakes in life, imperfection is part of our human condition.  Inevitably, we are going to make mistakes, sometimes big and inexcusable...

Before It Is Too Late Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Wednesday, September 05, 2012

God, I Seek Your Mercy Consciousness.  What is it all about?  About.com explains it to be: "Consciousness refers to your individual awareness of your unique thoughts, memories, feelings, sensations and environment. Your conscious experiences are constantly shifting and changing. For example, in one moment you may be focused on reading this article. Your consciousness may then shift to the memory of a conversation you had earlier with a co-worker. Next, you might notice how uncomfortable your chair is or maybe you...

The Gift of Life Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, August 27, 2012

God, Only In You I Trust Looking back at these past months, particularly the last one, have been rather emotionally and spiritually challenging for me.  At times, it drains me physically and mentally.  At times,  I am soaked with my own tears.  Admittedly, there is just so much my soul can take.  There is just so much to experience. There is just so much to resolve and to pronounce a wise judgement.  There are, unusually, many highs and lows.  There are boxes and layers of joy and sadness. ...

Quality And Quantity Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Wednesday, August 15, 2012

God, Please Give Me The Strength I have written few articles that touched on my (our) life desires, the Q-thing, on Quality and Quantity.  About how, depending on each individual, such Q-thing makes a difference.  To some, quality is important while too much quantity brings stress.  Yet, to another, the desire and the importance where more the merrier and regardless whether the quality is sub-standard is a way of life.  No which way is right nor wrong here, each has its merits.  Each carries value and morality. ...

Why We Need To Know About Us Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Friday, August 10, 2012

Be kind, for everyone we meet is fighting some kind of a battle I have always thought it is easy to give love.  After all, I believe that we are created from the product and the result of love.  That love is the core of our BEing.  Love is in our DNA.  Love lies within our unconscious soul and it flows through out our entirety.  It reaches far out to our physical well being, in our mental processes, in our emotional states and in our spiritual aspirations.  Everything that we do is, and ought to be, from...

Even The Best Has Faults Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Tuesday, July 17, 2012

Whenever You Point Out A Finger, Always Remember There Are Three Pointing Back at You Perfection.  Is it just a concept of an endless repeated process?  Is it a motivation or is it a burden?  Is it a psychological desire that we are driven towards achieving something greater even when we have achieved the desired result?  Most times, we live making goals with each goal must be better than the previous ones.  Does the quest for perfection change our attitudes?  The irony, in most cases, is that while wanting...

The Life We Want Is Not The Live We Live Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Tuesday, July 10, 2012

Only when you own happiness that you live Happiness is said to be a journey and it is never a destination.  Aristotle said "Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence".  Let's face it, happiness has nothing to do with all the material things or with the outward circumstances a person can gain .  A person living in the pool of luxury can be miserable and another in the depth of poverty can be overflowed with happiness. We just cannot hold a torch to light another's soul without...

That Much We Can Do Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Tuesday, July 03, 2012

You Cannot Move Forward If You Look Backward There are times in life where we feel that there is just 'that much' we can do.  In the way we give, we act, we speak, we reach out.  There can be only so much positive thinking and counting of blessings before we go on to do no more. Ultimately, it can come to a point where we just have to let go.  We have to take a stand to take charge.  We have to disengage from any obstructive blockages to let our energy to move on.  To let our energy to be what is - the spiritual...

Stop The Assumption Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Tuesday, June 19, 2012

The ONLY thing that ought to, can and should, fill our soul is God.  Confusion, the cause for many of us to be unable to think with clarity, often arises because we can be rather clueless about things.  We can be way thrown off and muddled not because we cannot think but rather we tend to associate the thinking process with one thing or action that does not match to what we have learned.  We have good reasons to find justifications for what we do, and over time we build up quite a complex set of theories about ourselves. The...

I Love What I Do Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Sunday, June 10, 2012

Ego, when it is left unattended, deforms the growth of our soul.  It blacks out our light towards higher consciousness. Passion is not a burden nor it is a form of occupation.  Nor does passion should be about asserting to demonstrate or showing of strength.  A passion has to be real, it has to be a want to manifest a real life goal and a real life means to achieve it.  Passion has to come from within, from the soul's deep desire towards something big and beautiful.  It has to be done with calm yet assertive...

12 Simple Arts of Home-Keeping Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Saturday, May 12, 2012

Take responsibility and own what was spoken; denial and brushing off your words only reflect your own character, faith and trust in yourself - not forgetting what others think of you. In a recent email received from a friend, I find a good number of useful and practical tips.  I must admit that I have never thought of such tips nor have I used them before.  To this friend, "Thank You" for the email.  I have decided to blog it so it can be shared around. This entry should accompany with the one recently wrote - The Simple...

In Partnership With The Universe Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, May 07, 2012

The beauty of life begins when there is a desire to make good. It started when I decided to go back to putting on glasses.  It seemed the lasik surgery that I did some six years ago had started to deteriorate my vision.   I first realized the poor vision during my trip to Hanoi, which I mistakenly thought the bad visibility had to do with the fog and the air pollution there.  It followed where I were no longer had the long passion to sit in front of the computer liked I used to do.  I felt exhausted reading the...

Love Is A Process of Growth Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Tuesday, May 01, 2012

Reflecting on an intimate understanding of individual suffering. This writing is dedicated to a dear friend, an indigo child, JH.  A person, in my opinion, who has so much love without realizing it much.  An individual that is seemingly peaceful.  JH is a warmhearted friend, a loving son and an affectionate soul.  The content of this writing is not about his shortfall (in the first place, I cannot even find anything negative about this special earthly angel) but more a reflection of his spiritually nurturing love. ...

The Simple Arts of Home-Keeping Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Wednesday, April 25, 2012

The best you can do is to manage the variables under your control. There is a tremendous pleasure I get in being able to relax in a clean house.  My soul feels at ease.  My mind is free of the negative clouds about life in general.  Cleanliness, as goes the adage, is next to godliness.  By keeping Reiki Sanctuary clean, I sense to lead a healthy and hygienic life.  A clean house creates room for me to be able to think on a more clear space free of distractions. The cleanliness of both our body and our surroundings...

Why Do We Need To Keep Writing Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Saturday, April 21, 2012

Don’t wait till the eulogy to tell someone you love them. Otherwise they won’t hear you. When I start to blog, I tell myself that it would be a way for me to reach out to the Universe.  And the more I blog, I recognize that I am a part of the big thing.  Do not get me wrong here, I do know that I (and so are all other humans) am only a very small portion of the great Universe.  That the Universe and I should be in partnership.  This blog is for the Universe to hear me.  For the Universe to feel my emotions. ...

Beware of mixing emotions and money. It’s rarely a good combination. Good Morning, Vietnam! (Part Three of Three) (Click Here For Part Two) (Click Here For Part One) And so the habit dies hard.  'Habit' is such a negative word to reflect on our recurrent pattern of behavior.  Habit entails an unconscious addiction and a resigned feeling that reflects a lack in inner competence and dependency in life.  For us, the habit of holiday shopping for Reiki Sanctuary is a conscious recognition of her presence.  Thing is, we...

The difference between friends and family? You can pick and choose among your friends. Good Morning, Vietnam! (Part Two of Three) [Click Here for Part One] When one is to live with little (or no) expectations, the outcome towards life is generally more rewarding.  It can completely change the way we experience life.  It brings about the knowledge of wisdom, thus enriching the soul.  It, unconsciously, endeavours with a more empowering mindset.  It opens doors to living a life avoiding to deal with our selfish nature...

I Have Become A Millionaire ... Again! Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Thursday, April 05, 2012

The truth is usually easier to live with than getting caught in a lie. Early this year, I wrote I Have Become A Millionaire when I travelled to Batam, Indonesia.  The Indonesian Rupiah goes by millions.  Here again, after the exchange rate from Singapore Dollars to Vietnam Dong, I become an instant millionaire once more. Awww, how sweet life is! Good Morning, Vietnam! (Part One) And so I say, visiting Hanoi (Vietnam) is not for the faint-hearted.  Though the spring weather in March (during my visit) is at its best, walking...

Why Do We Count Our Blessings Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Friday, March 30, 2012

Peace is the person who finds fault with himself instead of finding fault with others.  Love is its own reward. My words may not express the exact magnitude of my gratitude, of being in sincere thankfulness and appreciation for all the things that I have experienced in life.  Nor my words can easily justify my intuition as to recognize the will of God for His blessings upon me.  What I totally feel deep within me has no boundaries but yet words can be limited.  My words often do a poor job of expressing just how blessed...

Here You Are, At Last Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Sunday, March 25, 2012

We grow through our children as much as we raise them. Here you are at last, our dearest Ruby.  This shall be your playground, on Mother Earth.  This shall be your final resting place. Earth to Earth; the way you were created and it shall be just the way that you go back.  May you rest in peace. We are very touched with the kindness of another human being.  It starts when Candy passes on peacefully earlier this week (Read Her Obituary Here).  Our dearest friend wants her to be buried, after the cremation. ...

The Unsung Eulogy Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Tuesday, March 20, 2012

How much do you know about your own birth? Today marks the third year of your passing to the Rainbow Bridge.  Little is said how much we feel blessed to have you.  Little is said how beautiful your soul is as to provide us with comfort.  Little is said how we feel with the Almighty has been showering His divinity upon us through you.  You, dear Ruby, has come into our life for a bigger reason designed by God certainly for a purpose. For once, I am not going to allow myself to be judged with your presence in our...

We Need To Listen To The Voices Of Words Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Saturday, March 10, 2012

Don’t light fuses you cannot put out.  Don't say the words you cannot own them. We should feel blessed that we are able to talk, to verbalize and communicate.  That our spirits can experience to express our thoughts and emotions.  That we are able to speak the voice of our heart as spontaneous thoughts, visions, feelings or impressions.  Question is, do we listen to the words we use when we speak?  Do we allow reckless words to pierce like a sword and not the tongue of the wise to bring healing? Words are communicative...

Everyday Is A Curved Learning Road Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Sunday, March 04, 2012

Everyone gets there. Some of us just take the long way home. Every day, our life gives us new lessons where we (should) learn something new.  Ideally, should we are to learn and acquire something good, something important, something meaningful.  We (should) learn from reading a news, after meeting (old or new) friends, from sharing ideas, from listening to music, from just watching others.  What I want to say is, we can learn from anything - even by staring at the clouds or watching the birds or in silencing the mind. ...

The Present Is The Past Is The Future Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Thursday, February 23, 2012

You can live in the past or create the future. You can’t do both. What a small small world.  Just when we think that the world is actually big with seven continents, four oceans, over 180,000 islands and 6.7 billion people in the world today, it makes it an unlikely place to bump into familiar faces met in another country.  Especially so  when we can bump into old friends which may have a very small probability of occurring. When it does happen, one would wonder at its fascination.  One may wonder at the paradoxical occurence...

Why Forgiveness Is Difficult Thing To Give Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Sunday, February 12, 2012

Humans aren’t perfect. Neither are religions? It is plain and simple - should a person is to tell us that he/she does not make any mistakes, one can only think that he/she must really be free of sins and fit to be a saint.  Should this same person, he/she is able to freely put judgement on others for many of their wrong doings and not able to reflect much of the same that he/she is capable (of making mistakes) too - that humans can be  weak, and often confused, when it comes to emotional reasoning about matters of the heart - then...

Who Are You To Judge Me? Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Thursday, February 09, 2012

Like waves we come, Like waves we go .. out of the ocean. The one thing that I realized, the one thing that marks a great distinction between freeing our soul and to live with divinity (and yet be insanely sane) is when one is trapped not able to differentiate between being 'human being' and 'human doing'.  Spiritually, it is synonymous of being a God fearing (being Human Doing) and God loving (being Human Being) individual.  These emotions confuse our full acceptance and full understanding to God.  These conflicting feelings...

How Would You Remember Me? Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, February 06, 2012

Have you made arrangements for your survivors to recover all your passwords and PINs? Now would be a really good time to take care of this. OK, this may be a morbid and alarming terrible thought.  To many, this subject of my post constitutes an unsound mind.  One may even say that I may be having some forms of depression or, perhaps, a total withdrawal to life.  That I may have given up hope and to have given up life so easily, relinquishing my faith and ignoring on life purpose and that I should not entertain such an unhealthy...

When Words Don't Come Easy Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Friday, February 03, 2012

If you wipe someone’s ass don’t complain about getting shit on your hands. Why, when we have a higher developed brain structure, yet we stammer or stumble or forget what we want to say.  Worse, we just cannot find the right words nor phrases to express the exact feelings.  Even when we think that we find the right words, they are just not enough to express the messages of these thoughts perfectly.  I have come across with this situation often of late.  I can 'read' my thoughts internally but I stumble over my words,...

The Difference Between Us Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Sunday, January 29, 2012

Don’t expect others to make your life better. Does it occur to you that in any conversation - be it face to face or through written note or  virtual - the best way to communicate with somebody is when they are of the same vibrational level?  Of course it may not be the same for everybody but it does play an important part in sustaining the session.  A conversation can be beautiful and full of unlimited potentials when there is a common vibration.  Imagine, you are interested in spirituality and someone keeps talking...

A true warrior doesn’t need a gun. The battles he wins are not against external enemies. G uess it has come a time, for all of us, to be what we are meant to be.  Our awareness should have opened up by now.  Our consciousness should have elevated by now.  Our realization has made us to feel differently, for the better, now.  Things all around us, in its subtle forms, have changed.  What we used to like previously is no longer giving us satisfaction.  In fact, it has raised the vibration higher where we...

The Days of Rushing Emotions Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, January 16, 2012

It’s easier to save money than to make more.  It’s sometimes easier to just do it, than it is to talk about doing it. Is forgiveness such a difficult emotion to embrace?  Can the component of emotions be separated from the inter-relationship of the mind and the heart?  How can an individual be totally appeased with conflicting decisions? Human emotions are, in such singlish turn of phrase, a heck-care roller coaster.  It is not an easy phenomena to digest.  It is a bagful mixture of emotional responses often involved...

If you can’t laugh at yourself, you’re going to make the rest of us feel guilty for laughing at you. You saw and read it right! Yes, I have become a millionaire!  I am a millionaire - Yay! Yay! Yay!  But before you call me, my friends, do read further first. Family Bonding - it is a simple word well understood but not many of us can well live with its value.  We tend, as we grow older, to spend a lot more time with our friends than with our own family members.  We become closer to our friends, some become our confidante...

That's The Way It Is Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Wednesday, January 04, 2012

Would you steal if you knew you wouldn’t get caught? Lie if you could get away with it? What a better way to start out the new year, I just could not have asked for more.  I am glad that I ended the year 2011, on 31st December, differently.  Usually, I tend to spend New Year's eve with a small gathering or that I would stay up long enough just to usher in the new day.  For a change, this time round on 31 December 2011, I went to bed before the clock struck 12.  I felt, it would be nice to rest my spirit and soul,...
