Even though we all wish and aim for the perfect life - it won't be. The truth is that nothing of value is ever perfect because, if it was, we could no longer learn and grow from it.
Most of your best times will be your worst times. When bad stuff happens, your better self kicks in as you get the opportunity to rise above yourself and challenge adversity. Some times you win, sometimes you may lose. In the end it really doesn't matter. The important thing is that you rose to the challenge and you learned some lessons.
So strive to love and appreciate any hard times that may come your way for that's where you will discover that you were far stronger than you ever believed you could be.
You are stronger than you think and perfect isn't perfect.
Today, I will count my many blessings. Today, I will do my work honestly.
Today, I will be kind to every living creature.

Choices and Illusions by Eldon Taylor
Book Review
I was recently contacted to be a part of a Blog Tour by publishers Hay House. It was to be for a book called "Choices and Illusions: How Did I Get Where I Am, and How do I Get Where I Want to Be" by Eldon Taylor. This previously published book is being re-released with updates.
Here is where I have to admit that up until being recently contacted by Hay House I had never heard of Eldon Taylor. I have read and have a personal library of many, many self-help style books (way too many according to my wife!) - but nothing ever by Eldon Taylor. So, it was going to be an adventure for me to find out what he had to say.
All I can say now after reading the book - poor fool me. I have been missing out. Eldon Taylor writes well in a conversational way that manages to keep the reader interested in the topic at hand. The pages speed by with many "Ah-Ha" moments of personal revelation. Eldon is not afraid to let us into his own personal life in a most honest style.
The book is about our minds and who owns them - "Us" or "Them". Most of us would say "Us". But, do we? The illusion is that we think we do. Choices - are we actually making any that we can truly say are our own? Subliminal messages and advertising have been affecting our decisions for a long time.
Eldon discusses these topics and others, and how we can begin to take back control of our own thinking and therefore make responsible choices. One of the ways to do this is by using subliminal affirmations. This is the core of a self-help therapy that Eldon has perfected over a 25 year period enabling anyone to improve their mind and lifestyle.
I found this book to be a most enjoyable and informative read. Well done. Now that I have found out who Eldon Taylor is I like him and the way he thinks a great deal. The world is all the more richer for his presence.

Reiki Distance Healing
Please note that with Reiki Distance Healing you are able to receive the benefits without stopping what you are doing or having to go anywhere. You can be driving or even asleep. You neither have to believe in Reiki or understand how it works to benefit.
However the receiver does have to want to be helped. As strange as it seems, some people don’t actually want to be helped or healed! Some people are happy being unhappy. If that is the case then sadly the Reiki won't help - they will subconsciously block it and push it away.
Please do not use Reiki as a substitute for traditional medical care - if you are ill - see your Medical Practitioner first (I do - and I'm the Reiki Master!). Use Reiki as a Complimentary Health Care Modality.

What Happens in a Reiki Treatment Session?
Many people are hesitant about booking themselves in for their first ever Reiki Treatment Session. It's the first time, it's different, it's an alternative and complimentary therapy - it's the unknown. So . . . . . what happens?
To follow is an exact case study of a recent session I conducted - only the recipient's name has been changed - I'll call her Jane. Let's begin:
"Jane has completed and signed my New Client Intake Form, Explanation and Consent Form, and has read through the "Reiki - What's It All About" information sheet.
Jane is a happily married business-woman who has a small but growing bookkeeping business which she runs from home. She has 3 grown-up children and 2 grandchildren. She has a close and loving family.
Jane has indicated that she has been feeling run down and tired due to various business pressures that have built up over recent weeks of intense effort. She has seen her GP for a thorough check-up and has received an "all clear". Jane is starting work with a new business client in the coming week and so wishes to attend feeling more upbeat, energized and positive so as to be sure of giving a more favourable impression to her new client when they start work together.
I decided to first do an aura clearing to clear any negative energies from her energy field that may be slowing or blocking the flow of energy and so leading to her feeling of tiredness. This will be followed by a general all-over Reiki Session to uplift, re-power and re-balance her entire energy system. This would raise her level of well-being and confidence for the coming week's events especially as the Reiki Energy continues to flow for her over the next couple of days.
I had Jane stand in front of an off-white screen with the lighting subdued so that I could examine her aura. The aura was lovely, bright and clear being mostly a very pleasant yellow especially around the head and shoulder area. It was tinged with flashes of blue towards the outside - about 30cm from the body. I studied her entire body both frontally and side-on but was unable to see any dirty coloured areas in the aura or anything that was telling me "not good".
Before continuing I washed my hands in cold water to rid them of any residual negative energetic debris. I then had Jane lie on her back on the Reiki table and I performed an aura clearing using both hands alternately, sweeping any possible negative elements that may be present well away from both of us and shaking them loose at the end of each sweep. I performed about 10 such sweeps making sure to cover all areas, and, after asking her to roll over, repeated the same to her back.
After getting Jane to once more roll onto her back I began the Reiki session. I used my 100 count method of timing my hand placements. The hand placements used were: eyes, temples, top of head, throat, chest, solar plexus, abdomen, and groin. She then rolled onto her front and the hand placements I used on her back were: back of head, back of neck, top of shoulders, shoulder blades, middle back, lower back, tail bone, kidneys and side of hips. I then washed my hands under cold running water and watched all of her problems wash away and disappear never to be seen again.
This finished the session.
After Jane sat up and had a glass of water I enquired as to how she was feeling. She said she felt very, very relaxed and "great" and definitely had a more positive feeling or outlook for the coming week ahead than she had on arrival. She was now smiling and appeared much more calm and relaxed. I suggested we reschedule for a "booster" session a week from today. With the positive results gained from today's session, she was more than happy to do so."
I hope that helps to banish any fears you may have. Please note this case study was published with the full consent of "Jane" who was herself a first-timer. Also please note that for sensitive areas such as the throat and groin the "safe touch" method of hand placement is used - the hands of the practitioner hover about 6 cm above the area in question.
