What I do to recharge/relax

How do I relax and recharge is by doing my self-reiki, I do wood burning, I paint, and really anything brings me joy. I enjoy doing art and painting and I have been in love with are ever since I was small. My grandma would paint and I would of course want to do it too. I than grew up taking every art class that I could in school and even went as far as a full 2 semesters of only art and photography classes. That killed my finances for school for few years. I continued to do my art as a form of therapy that helps me relax and recharge myself.

I do my self-reiki daily and my meditation along with my reiki. This helps me stay balanced and starts the day off with a positive mindset. We all know that how you start the day makes the day. My meditation consist of repeating my reiki precepts of “Just for today – Do not anger, do not worry, be humble, be honest in your work you do, show graduated, and be compassionate to yourself and to all others.” I repeat this at least 10 times as I breathe deeply and my hands are in gassho or pray hands in front of your heart center. After I say this I start my self-reiki. This also helps with any stiffness or dis-comfort that I may have in the morning. I also repeat this at night before I go to bed.

Some of my other ways that I relax and recharge are way more common in that lots of others do these things to. I go for walks in nature or wooded area and just being the moment. I also pet my cats and give them loving and even give them reiki too. I also enjoy cooking and that really gets me into a Zen/peaceful mood.
