Have You Woken Up? Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, September 26, 2011

Business travel is only glamorous to those who don’t do it. Believe you me.  

Sunset doesn’t know you, won’t wait for you, or care if you’re late.



I had an interesting conversation with my Indigo friend yesterday.  It started with him sharing his thoughts about the two-hour documentary by David Grubin, "The Buddha".  How he felt that we were continually in search for meaning in life.  That, the search was subtle yet it probed in all our actions.  How much we needed to discover about suffering and for way to end it.  How much of our problems could lead to weakness and self destruction.

I sensed his enlightenment, the Buddha that he had become in his own special ways.  That he had woken up.  Without his realization, he actualized all the positive potentials in generating new insights.  He had become aware, and very conscious, on his nature of existence.  Not only in his waking consciousness but of the world around him. 

'Enlightenment ' here, in his case, is his parabolic state to waking up.  It is, in his own special journey, experiencing a transformation of body and mind.

To live a Buddha's way is all about making right to the way of life.

To the way we act and think.  To how we react and the conditioning of our mental preoccupation.  To the philosophy of actions and the psychology of thought.

Buddhism is not a religion, it is an awakened realization to live life in a complete positive qualities.  In having compassion for life and a desire to comprehend about suffering and the way to end it.

A Buddha is not the creator of the Universe unlike God in Islam or Christian sense.  In fact, there is no creator (or God) in Buddhism.  Buddha represents a way for us to live.  He exemplifies the highest compositional ways towards awareness and consciousness.  The basic characteristic in each of our way towards our own religion.

Personally, Buddhism adds details to mine.  It clarifies the meaning and discourse my beliefs in religion and God.

My conversation with this special Indigo friend happened for good right before us.  It came at the right time (for me, and hopefully his).  It carried such an extraordinary vibration where all the past experiences, at this moment, came to stop and continued the motion to normal.  It was the flash before my very eyes and had my body experiencing universal revelation upon the soul.

Suddenly, the experiences that I have been feeling since September 14th make sense.  It re-affirms all other happenings around me and all the good things that are happening to my friends.   I wrote "In fact, of late, I have been noticing lots of welcoming changes happening to some people around me. These are individuals who took charge to change the vibrations around them, be it spring cleaning or making conscious effort to change certain things around them. "

I shall imprint the thought here and not 'Just Random Thought' to serve me as a reminder, as gratitude that I should honor.

It was an interesting day yesterday (September the 13th), started with an SMS from a dear friend. 

Friend - "Would you like to receive some energies later tonight?  Would appreciate some feedback after that."

Me - "Haha, free energy, why not wor.  What time?"

Friend - "9.45 p.m."

I actually prepared myself fifteen minutes earlier.  I decided to sit down to meditate while waiting to receive the distant energy from this friend.  At around 10 p.m., I received his SMS - "Done.  Hope you enjoyed it."

As agreed, I sent my feedback.  

"Hmm, was it about healing, re birthing and empowerment?  In the beginning, I felt the awakening of Fire Serpent and then a drop of colorful inks into my Crown Chakra and also the Third Eye.  There was golden ball of lights in my hands.  There were Mother Mary, Jesus, Lord Shiva and perhaps Prophet Muhammad too.  Then, there were other Masters and You."

I knew little of his intention and the specific purpose for that session.  I had always been receiving his kindness in sending me distant energy in the past.  It was a beautiful surprise when I received his replies:

"Beautiful. It is a transmission of an Ascension Energy. Like an attunement. You captured the key points well. There were indeed lots of help."

All the answers that we had asked came their ways through how we questioned them.  It had been in the essence in the questions for all the answers to make sense.  For all the answers to present themselves and turned events into more than a blessing at their ends.

The energy for the last few months had been one of stagnation.  There was just little or no desire to explore an ascetic existence.  It was intentional.  It was to make sure that our vibrations did not transgress.  That we were kept safe yet not to offend or violate the basic laws of human civilization.

We were made to walk on a plateau of consciousness where all that we had previously learned stayed intact.  Energetically, we had been walking on this plateau for a while now.

It was safe yet a long sleepy walk.  We were given our freewill in its secluded comfort.  From here, we were shown the reality of the world around us - the calamities, the sufferings and, importantly, the choices that we needed to make.

From this plateau, we were to realize for our greater understanding of life and spiritual fulfilment.  The point at which we were to feel satisfaction in our spiritual  experiences and practices.  It offered hope and access to higher understanding.

"Ascension"

Today, we have been called to wake up.  We have been asked to expand, and to explore, our senses up to their highest potentials.  We have been invited to move to a higher energetic plane.  The new path has opened for us to reconnect with the Universe.

The time has come upon us where we are to ascend to the next dimension.  We have been asked to remove negativity from our ethereal body of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual hologram to become whole where our souls are more advanced than they really are.

It is important that we are to believe in ourselves.  To believe in all areas when we are learning to become who we are.  Be aware of the change.  What we learn today may be different to what we learn next week, next month or next year.  To believe in what we learn about ourselves.  To believe with our heart in what we hear, see and read.

Say, while reading new material, read what resonates with us though not everything will.  We will be drawn to specific topic which will lead into further topics and materials.  Let our instinct, even our curiosity, to  take over and it will lead us to where we want to be.

It is important that we are to embrace our new consciousness that extended throughout the extent of Earth and the Universe.  It is important in strengthening our beliefs and the increasing will power.  Now is the time to devote our initiatives to be all that they can be.

It is a beautiful day.  There will be many opportunities that will present themselves to us.  These opportunities are our choices.  We are to decide what it is that we are going to do in every part of our life hereon.  Thing is, finding our true self is always a wonderful experience.

I am praying that all of us shall wake up together to this new consciousness.  That we shall walk into this Ascension with raised vibrations and that we glow so magnificently bright.

How Much Right is Right Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Tuesday, September 13, 2011

We all enjoy free will. With it, comes cause and effect. Use it wisely.

Often, and very often, we always feel that we are right in everything, about everything.  In carrying out an action.  In executing a decision.  In allowing mediation.  In submitting to other's follies.  In conceding another's decision.  In compromising a situation.  In giving in.

It would usually destroy many of us when we allow others to think that we are second rated and hopeless.  We become (unconsciously) disappointed should others have the slightest instance to think of that of us.

We always feel that we are the kindest, the humblest, the 'better-est' individual and not somebody else.  And, when it comes to sufferings, we tend to think that we suffer the most.  When it comes to hard work, we feel we have given it all.  When it comes to understanding, we brag on our empathy.

Our emotions defend our diminishing pride just to make sure that we are not going to be hurt.  Pride comforts us.  We resent others whom disqualify our needs to look good.  Who make us to become disconnected.  Such a situation arises when failure exceeds the resources for coping with our own failures.  When it shadows out what we wish others to see our true self. 

Often, we make ourselves to believe that we make less mistakes, we make less judgement.  We simply want to think that we are often correct, and stand corrected, in our own judgement, opinion and action.  It is the biggest human failure when we look for something outside of us to make us to feel better inside.

We conveniently fool ourselves that we are always 'the better one'.  Though, unwittingly, we would accept that we are imperfect, somehow our mind would twist it - The multitude  and magnitude of imperfections are bigger on somebody else.

It happens that we are so happened to appreciate satirical qualities of our crazy ego.  Perhaps, it is our disappointment (towards others) which is being thwarted in the opposite way of saying that we have placed high judgement for each other.

There is always this unspoken need in us to feel and be right.  In many instances, in asmuchas we want to deny it, the need to feel right makes us to think that we are better off taking charge of all circumstances.  That, it makes us feel that we are an intelligent Being.  Less, it kills our happiness.

We take defensive actions when someone tells us that we are lazy.  Almost immediately, we raise our voice.  Very quickly, we voice out excuses after excuses.  Our body language swings to become defensive.  To become aggressive.  People just do not like to be associated with such a word.  Or any other negative adjectives insulting our Ego.

Person A - "Aiya, you are just plain lazy to do housework lah."

Person B - "Please lah.  I am working everyday leh.  Work is already so stressful.  Anyway, even if I clean, someone else will mess it after that."

Really?
It is always the one-day laziness or tomorrow-I-will-do-it attitude that leads to more accumulation of clutters.  When we can spend a little time today and every day, for probably just half hour or slightly more, why do we choose to wait another day which probably will not happen?

Person A - "Hey, why aren't this task not completed?  It has taken you days.  You are just so lazy!"

Person B - "If you think it is so easy, then you do it lah!"

Ah!
How it is so easy to slam our frustrations without realizing the process of our own thought cycle.  Do we always have to pass sarcastic remark without realizing our own shortcomings?

Person C - "I guess if you are to be kinder and nicer with your approach, the sales staff will treat you well."

Person D - "Why should I do that?  I am the paying customer leh."

Oh, wow!
Money is not everything.  The saddest thing, when we think we have it, the world is our slave.  The opposite is true too - when we think we have too little of it, the world is the master.

Person C - "Did you tell him exactly what you wanted?"

Person D - "He should know it what, since he is in the trade.  Anyway, this is also to test his knowledge."

Geez!
Often, we get ourselves so worked out just because we allow our ego to destruct us.  We create the destructive need to feel 'better than' or more 'right' than others.

All in all, it is just a personal choice.

Life is simple.  Life is easy.

If only we are to take charge and to believe that everything is just an opinion and that opinions are always changing and fluid.

Being right does not always equal happiness.

Do we always have to be right?  How can we learn to accept that we are actually not?

Perhaps, when we truly learn about compassion that we shall become less blinded.  When there is a belief, we tend to forget anything even remotely different.  We just want to be right, whether that means that it can make us unhappy, or overworked, or ignorant.

We close up to other ideas around us that could help in everything that we are doing.  Subconsciously, we shy away from the alternative answers from fear it will not line up with our opinion, our judgement, our action.

The Re-Making of Reiki Sanctuary Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Thursday, September 08, 2011

Ruts are as hard to get out of as they are easy to fall into.


Two things that make me happy today. 

One, as I walked out of the house earlier today, I was greeted with so much light.  Haha, it was not about an angelic light nor was it any thunder of light greeted upon me.  It was about the brightness of space, of new walls and paints, as I opened the door.  Just outside of Reiki Sanctuary, things had changed - but for now that story can wait.

Two, as I signed into my blog, I found that a friend had (yes! at last!) updated his blog (Life Is Still Good).  It was all smiles as I read his entry.  Smile, cos I had often encouraged everyone and anyone to strive for a clean, uncluttered and tidy house.  Smile, cos I had (probably) made this friend to think about the Law of Vacuum.

Smile, because I am so happy that this friend and, also, my sister are taking charge to change the course of their lives.  They engage themselves to be proactive.  That, in order to change for better energies within us, our environment needs to be accorded with change too.  It needs to synchronize with each other to balance the harmony.

These two individuals, my dear friend and my dearest sister, were spring cleaning their house!  This, I truly believe, will change about everything around them.

We do not have to wait for a right occasion to change an environment around us.  Especially when it has to do with house cleaning.  Personally, we should always be proud of our home; it is an heaven on earth.  It houses our psychical, mental, emotional and spiritual body.  It is, therefore, only right that we take good care of it to provide our body with all the infinite universal wealth upon us.

When we take charge to work in partnership with all the things around us, giving life to each and every living and non living things, we stride ourselves into a higher plane.  We start to acknowledge the abundance of life.  We integrate with an infinite universal soul, where all our wants and wishes in life will no longer have limits nor boundaries in time or space or extent or magnitude.

This is my message to him -- Congratulations, my dear friend!  It is nice to hear that you have taken the actions where you 'decided to put (yourself) in the driver's seat .. and take control (of it)'!  Just as it is comfortable for us to look good and it is important to feel clean everyday, the soul of the house needs the same emotions too.  I strongly believe that your energy, and all of your vibrations (inside and outside), will start to change hereon.

This is my message to my sister -- Congratulations and Best Wishes.  As it is, just with starting a small area cleaning up your kitchen, you have already felt so much different.  I am glad to hear that abundance has also come when you started cleaning up the Wealth Area in your house too.  There will be many more good things awaiting.  But, importantly, there will be thousand folds of joy and peace that will envelope you and your family.

---

One of the reasons that I decided on the recent two weeks' spring cleaning, it had to do with the almost completion of the Lift Upgrading Program.  Reiki Sanctuary had kinda suffered from heavy noises and flying dusts for the last four months.  There were heavy structural hacking of walls and construction of new parapet walkways.  She had been caged-in with most of her windows closed all throughout the day, six days a week from eight in the morning till six in the evening.

Still, there were fragments of dust sipped through.  There were dusts on the kitchen tops.  There were dusts on the floor tiles, from the living to kitchen and toilet.  There were dusts on the balcony chengal woods.  There were dusts on all the plants.

Now (with the latest letter from the contractor) that all the necessary structural hacking will come to an end soon, my conscience compelled for a head start to bring Reiki Sanctuary back to her glory.  These four months have been long.

I have been avoiding having much friends over soon as the Upgrading started.  I just do not feel good to invite them.  But, in all the inconveniences, I truly appreciate the hard works of all the workers.  It was, indeed, hard and tiring laborious tasks.  It was all for the convenience of the residents.


Chronological Photo Story:

Early June 2011.
Workers started to erect scaffolds from the ground floor up.

Mid August 2011.
Hacked of walls for lift (far left of picture)
Constructed concrete parapet walkway and railings (center of picture)

Mid July to Early September 2011.
An everyday sight just outside Reiki Sanctuary.  A locked gate towards the newly built concrete parapet walkway towards the new lift.

Today.
Removed of scaffolds with newly painted walls.
Indeed, it is now so bright and .. OMG, beautiful!  Yes, I feel 'so new' living here.

Today.
Workers removing scaffolds on lower ground.

Today.
The newly built concrete parapet walkway towards the new (incomplete) lift.

Today.
This is a new feature to the block (New rails on staircase landing).  Previously, it was a slab of wall.  With the Upgrading, it has been replaced with railing.  It definitely brings in the light.  Unfortunately, the picture does not justify it.

Today.
Just standing outside Reiki Sanctuary, it gives me with a new feeling.  I feel uplifted, energized and somewhat thrilled.



And I just have to wait for the end to come!, and hopefully pretty soon.  I was telling a friend today, as she dropped by, that it would be nice just to walk on the walkway to and fro the lift.
