Worry is an emotion that although helpful in working through some situations, when in excess and occurring frequently, can be problematic, impacting the bodymind on all levels. This stress affects the circulation of energy within the body and impedes the inner wisdom that helps the body to regenerate.

Remember that when you are worrying, your mind is focused on the future. Although a small amount of worry can help you to take action in the present and plan for the future you desire, excessive worry can lead to confusion and stagnation.

The only time you are effective is in the now. You need to trust that the wisdom of Reiki will guide you through all of life’s ups and downs. The difficulties that we experience are usually a crucial part of our development. If you develop a negative and fearful mind-set that causes you to worry, you will see even neutral events as negative.

If however, you release the beliefs that lead you to think of that situation as “bad” and be open to where it leads you, you can enjoy the ride that life gives you and be present for the ups and downs.

Make time each day for activities that bring you joy. It is also important that you are conscious of who you spend your time with. Seek out people who you resonate with that are peaceful and happy. Their energy is positively contagious.
