Hello,

Wild Heart.

This is Adriana Velez,

Your favorite Reiki Master Teacher and Feminine Energy Mentor.

And we're just going to travel down the winding road with grace today.

So just this stream of consciousness,

Raw,

Radical,

Real musings on grace,

How she shows up in our lives,

Calling her in,

Drinking in her medicine.

And really my intention with this is to start to open up your relationship with grace even more,

To see that her healing and her magic is always,

Always available to you.

You just have to notice and you just have to summon her energy.

So let's start with activating Reiki,

Reiki grace.

So go ahead and just take a big deep breath in through your nose and exhale out through your mouth.

And as you inhale and exhale,

You can imagine that you're inhaling the great bright light of Reiki,

It's cleansing and purifying you.

And on that exhale,

It's also purifying your auric field.

So it's brightening your auric field,

It's sparking it up.

And your inherent wild and free river of light and of life force just starts to flow.

You might feel that warm,

Buzzy tingling sensation or just a lot of peace,

A lot of deep peace within your body.

And if you don't,

That's okay,

You can just call it in.

You can call it in right now because you are that powerful.

So today we are calling in these beautiful gentle threads of grace.

Grace is always present and always available.

She's like this etheric essence,

Such a gift that continues to feather our path and lead us to new doors to new pathways.

When we have the subtle sense to pay attention and to notice.

And you know,

Here we are,

We're in this world of overstimulation.

And it's really hard to know where to focus our attention.

It's so easy to get pulled this way and that to get really overwhelmed,

Burnt out,

To get taken out of your core,

Your knowing that inner gnosis that the mystics talk about.

And I think that the that part of media is designed that way.

But that's the world we're in.

And so we are at will beings.

And we get to choose what we take in and where to pivot our attention.

And remember that old saying,

Wherever attention goes,

Energy flows.

So right now we're turning our attention to grace and ease and grace and ease.

So when I looked up grace,

It said simple elegance or refinement of movement,

Courteous goodwill.

And I love this part divine influence operating in individuals for their regeneration is not gorgeous,

Divine influence operating in individuals for their regeneration.

So giving yourself grace can look like a lot of things that can be slowing down,

Being gentle,

Letting yourself off the hook,

Letting yourself off the hook could manifest like taking a nap when you feel super overwhelmed and exhausted and stressed,

Could be eating that chocolate calling a friend to co regulate when you can't seem to just calm down on your own.

It could be making love in the middle of the afternoon,

Or just saying to hell with it and taking your kids out to the park.

There's so many ways in which you can give yourself grace,

Right?

And here we here we are,

We live in this time and space where there is a hyper focus on productivity.

And we are often so hard on ourselves,

When we feel like we aren't doing enough,

Being productive enough.

And a lot of us walk walk with this question of,

How am I how am I worthy?

If I don't have something to show for my existence?

And I still struggle with this,

You know,

Am I creating enough art?

Am I making a big enough impact in the world?

Am I showing up for the people in my life in the right way?

And it goes on and on and on.

Right?

That kind of keeps us on that that wheel of samsara of suffering,

And keeps us out of the present moment,

Where we will find grace.

Always,

Always,

Always waiting for us there in the present moment.

And nature look at nature she is always gifting us with grace,

Her songbirds,

Those cool breezes,

The swans,

The crows,

Unshakable ancient oak trees,

The redwoods,

Those hot summer days and the bees and the nectar and the peaches and the apples and the moon reflecting on the water.

And the way the sun always,

Always,

Always rises,

No matter what hell we experience in the underworld.

And sometimes I like to imagine grace as this little ever present tiny Firefly guiding us in our underworld moments.

Always there always present,

Holding that little lantern of hope out in front of us,

Clearing the demons clearing the darkness.

And you know,

So many of us have lived a lot of our life in the underworld,

In the shadow trying to make sense of the darkness,

Trying to make sense of the intensity and the heaviness and suffering.

And whose darkness is it?

Is it our darkness?

Is it the collective?

Is it our ancestors?

But does it even really matter?

I think the bigger question is how do we alchemize it?

And even more importantly,

How do I hold it with tenderness and care to not turn away from my darkness and pain is this grace to turn towards the suffering within us with warm resonance with accompaniment with compassion with tenderness.

And these are the moments that we melt generations of suffering and trauma.

This is how we give ourselves grace,

Right?

It's returning to our mats,

Returning to our altar,

Returning to our personal rituals,

Even when we don't feel like it,

Even when we don't feel like it's working,

Or we can't seem to turn off our mind,

Just returning,

Returning to the present that is in and of itself burning up layers of karma,

Layers of suffering,

Even when we don't see the fruits of our labor.

Grace can be a friend showing up in a dark time when you feel so so alone.

And you both get to cry together and laugh together and you transmute a lot of energy by just being present by just having that deep understanding and connection.

It's deep listening,

Presence,

Just being.

It's all of the flowers that are blooming in every season.

It's the butterflies.

It's that magical dream.

You know that dream that literally changes you on a cellular level and changes your day.

I love those healing dreams.

And that's grace showing up in your dream space,

Bubbling up from your unconscious,

Maybe being woven in with your guides and your guardians.

So as we end here,

This is just a gentle reminder to give yourself more grace.

Slow down,

Be gentle,

Have compassion for all that you've been through.

You have been through so much.

You are the hero and the heroine of your own story.

Let yourself off the hook.

Let yourself off the hook.

You know,

We're all going to die.

So let's live well.

Let's live beautifully,

Generously.

Let's give ourselves and everyone grace and ease and let's love wildly.

So we're going to end on the Reiki precept.

So just take a big deep breath and let this sink in just for today.

I will not be angry.

I will not worry.

I will do my best.

I will be grateful and I will be kind to myself and to all sentient beings.

And so it is,

Ashe.

If you are here orbiting with me,

Thank you.

And I have so,

So much love for you.
