Cables of Connection

“Yoga” translates to “union”.  When we greet one another with “Namaste”, we acknowledge that we are “all part of the same light”.  When doing Reiki, one draws on the energy of the Universe, that same energy that surrounds, permeates, flows through everyone and everything, now and since time began.  (See the Law of Conservation of Energy:  Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed.  We’ve been using the same energy since the Big Bang!)

So, we are all connected; we are all One.  We may each be different and special in ourselves, but underlying us all is this connection of Life Force Energy that we share with every breath.

Remember this connection next time someone cuts you off in traffic, pushes ahead of you in line, says something dopey, or just generally irritates you.  Maybe you can dredge up some compassion for them, see them from another angle, or just shake your head fondly and send them some loving thoughts across those lines of connectivity.  It is through these cables of connection that we can learn to live with each other in peace.

Om Shanti.
