The truth about who we really are, beyond all appearances, is knowledge worth seeking.

A daily reiki practice

Though energy work in Reiki is simple, but to maintain and strengthened Reiki flow within us, we need to dedicate an hour or two to do some Reiki exercise.

The question is, Reiki has been developed into so many style with a lot of techniques and symbols, so what Reiki style and techniques to be practiced?

Many Reiki masters has its own answers, but to me, we need to go back to what Reiki is in the first place which is a technique to connect our soul to the heart of the universe through meditative state of mind.

Therefore, we need to eliminate unnecessary techniques every time and enter into deep meditative practice in the end.

To do so, i offer a simple guideline to practice Reiki daily

1. To do self healing          whether you are already pass level 1 or shoden in Reiki, you still need to practice self healing to yourself, because self healing soften the muscle and bring clarity to your physic quickly, this is an important step before any further exercise. 2. Cakra cleansing method          In Gendai Reiki ho we use Cakra Kassei kokyuho technique but you can use any technique to cleanse cakras in your own Reiki styles. Clean cakra help you feel balance and fresh. Bring clarity to the mind 3. Light breathing exercise        This technique put our consciousness to Tan tien and at the same time deliver Reiki energy to whole body area, you will feel a heat sensation and your cakra get more active. 4. Gasho meditation        At last, the last menu in this exercise. It is purely a meditation practice aiming to melt our consciousness with Reiki consciousness. Gasho means, that in original Reiki tradition this meditation was conducted in Gasho position, both hand in prayer position in front of the chest ( namaste position).

Where is the symbols? well symbol can be used just before start the entire practice, it use is to assist you in your practice. Don’t think that the symbol is sacred, it is only a helping tool, the most sacred in the end is your connection with the Most Highest within you.

Peace and prosper

How Coming to Brazil Led Me to Encounter Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche

Arriving in Brazil in 2015 was a life-altering experience, not only due to the cultural richness of this vast country but also because it set the stage for one of the most significant spiritual encounters of my life. It was here, in São Paulo, that my family and I became deeply involved with the Dzogchen teachings and were ultimately blessed to meet our Guru, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche…

devotion

Sogyal Rinpoche, “Real devotion is an unbroken receptivity to the truth. Real devotion is rooted in an awed and reverent gratitude, but one that is lucid, grounded, and intelligent.”  

[thecalminside]

Light must come from inside. You cannot ask the darkness to leave; you must turn on the light.

-Sogyal Rinpoche

每一步似乎都需要很長時間，可是無論你覺得多麼乏味，都要繼續準確地、始終如一地遵循你的練習時間表。這就是我們如何利用我們最���的敵人——習慣來對付它自己。

Each step may seem to take forever, but no matter how uninspired you feel, continue to follow your practice schedule precisely and consistently. This is how we can use our greatest enemy, habit, against itself.

“As Buddha said, “What you are is what you have been, what you will be is what you do now.” Padmasambhava went further: “If you want to know your past life, look into your present condition; if you want to know your future life, look at your present actions.” ― Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

[nousrose]

Perhaps the deepest reason why we are afraid of death is because we do not know who we are. We believe in a personal, unique, and separate identity but if we dare to examine it, we find that this identity depends entirely on an endless collection of things to prop it up: our name, our biography, our partners, family, home, job, friends, credit cards. It is on their fragile and transient support that we rely for our security. So when they are all taken away, will we have any idea of who we really are? Without our familiar props, we are faced with just ourselves, a person we do not know, an unnerving stranger with whom we have been living all the time but we never really wanted to meet. Isn't that why we have tried to fill every moment of time with noise and activity, however boring or trivial, to ensure that we are never left in silence with this stranger on our own?

[mahayanapilgrim]

Kindness is a transformative force that heals both others and yourself. As the Buddha said,

"Radiate boundless love towards the entire world." When you act with kindness through your body, speech, and mind, you not only uplift others but also cultivate inner peace and fulfillment within yourself. Let your actions be guided by compassion and empathy, creating a positive impact on those around you and fostering harmony in the world. - GCDR

Once we have realized the nature of our mind, it is no longer necessary to search for the guru outside.

[kamala-laxman]

Be kind to yourself as you proceed along this journey. This kindness, in itself, is a means of awakening the spark of love within you and helping others to discover that spark within themselves. Tsoknyi Rinpoche

For all yall interested in Buddhism and one of my favorite western missunderstandings about Buddhism which is the INSANELY incorrect assumptions about what meditation is, I really suggest listening to Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche talk about meditation. He's a lot of fun and just a cool guy who (obviously, not a surprise) really gets it and I like how he talks about it. Like I could hear him talk about meditation for hours, just a fun guy who gets it.

TLDR - and I could go on this for hours - Meditation is really something you can do every day in basically every action you do in life with practice and one of the large goals in a lot of Mahayana branches of Buddhism is just to obtain that near constant state of meditation through all actions of life, but I DIGRESS I will prevent myself from going off when yall can just listen to this guy

A veces pienso que el mayor logro de la cultura moderna es su brillante manera de vender las bondades del samsara y sus distracciones estériles. La sociedad moderna me parece una celebración de todas aquellas cosas que nos alejan de la verdad, que hacen difícil vivir para la verdad y que inducen a la gente a dudar incluso de su existencia. Y pensar que todo esto surge de una civilización que dice adorar la vida, pero que en realidad la priva de todo sentido real; que habla sin cesar de «hacer feliz» a la gente, pero que de hecho le cierra el paso a la fuente de la auténtica alegría.
