Do you clear your reiki box?

[reikienergyheals]

I have a box that I keep reiki requests in. Then, when I do distance reiki, I use the box with all those slips of paper inside of it, sending to everyone and their situations. It's been a pretty powerful thing for me and I love doing it.

Since I moved and have been up to my eyeballs in the house drama, I have not used the box. I have sent with intent in mind. But, as many of you know, my best friend just got the news that she has a growth on her pituitary gland in her brain so I want to start using the box again.

I am getting the feeling that I should remove all those pieces of paper in the box and toss them, starting fresh. Does anyone else do this? If so, how often to you clear out the box or container or whatever you might use? Does anyone have thoughts on if I should do this or not? I can visualize it and feel like it's the right thing to do but I have never done it before. I'd appreciate your thoughts and advice.

Thank you!

Hiya!

I'm not sure about everyone else. But...I do usually go through my list's and Prayer box every so often. (I'm not sure how many of us actually use "boxes" but I do too and maybe it's because of the neatness of it lol!) I have several "things" I do but for the regular healing request or "could you send me some energy" type requests I will go through from time to time and clean it out. It's sometimes nice to go through the names and remember the who's and what's if that makes sense. But, in short, yes...I do clean mine out every so often.

I clean mine out periodically as well. I do it whenever it feels like it needs done.

Thanks everyone. I will do it today. I feel it's time to clean it out but since I've never done it, I felt a little guilty about it. Like I would be causing offense to those that I am "tossing" you know?

[yogagurl]

lol, yes, I know what you mean. I like to think that people and situations change, so somtimes what I wrote doesn't fit anymore.

Good question!Something I never really thought of!

[Peace]

actually, this is a really good idea. i think i should do this. i usually write them down, but i don't keep a box or anything specific. hmm.....thanks! it does seem like a good idea to clear it out every once in a while. like anything, we have to clear the energy and clutter to refresh it, right?

[reikienergyheals]

yes I was thinking of clearing the energy from the box, especially since I haven't used it in a while and especially because I just moved. I just wanted to start fresh, you know? So, I went through each one that was in and wanted to make two piles: those to toss, those to keep. Turns out, they were all ready to be tossed! I added new ones last night, already. I feel a lot better about it, too.

A little box is perfect because it can be held while I sit and meditate, rest, watch tv...anything. It's just the right size. When I am not actively using the box, I have a reiki charged crystal pyramid stone that I set on top of it. My intention is that the stone continue to provide reiki while I am not there. I know I can do a grid but I'm not sure how to do those, and besides, the cat would surely toss those little stones around in a heartbeat. She just can't resist, you know?

[Peace]

lol, i know what ya mean. well, i think you've got a great idear there.

[reikienergyheals]

thanks aura. I feel like it's cleared the way for others, actually. since I've cleared it (just last night) I have had more requests than usual.

Yanno I keep thinking of getting a box to put everyones name in it but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Often I'm sending at bedtime and I'm going thru the list of everyone in my head hoping I haven't missed anyone...might be time to get me a special box to do this with.

[reikienergyheals]

I found it at Michael's craft store but it can be anything. You can also make a little box out of old greeting cards. I have a God box for that - a box to put worries for God instead of me. I recently tossed that out, actually. Anyhow, I recommend a box or some sort of container to use. It's easy and I can concentrate on sending reiki instead of trying to remember all those names and situations.

[Sloan]

Yup I definitley like that idea better. As I've said I thought about doing it and then went on to some other craft project and forgetten about it...silly I know but I WILL do it! lmao And now that I think on I may have the perfect box for it...I'll get back to you and let ya know. teehee

[reikienergyheals]

Ok, here goes...I'm going to try to post a picture for the first time! LOL It's of my reiki box. Can anyone help me with this? I don't know where the button is...is there a button?

[reikienergyheals]

Let's try this again...

[reikienergyheals]

Wow! it worked...but how do I make it less HUGE?

[Peace]

just resize them in photobucket. that'll make em smaller. ya know what's cool though? i have a box just like that one, only not as tall, i think. but identical, all the same. lol. how cool!!! great minds yeah? lol. i like it. and the pyramid on top. just wonderful!!

[Sloan]

Oh I love it! That's awesome!

[reikienergyheals]

Thanks! It's a whole lot easier than relying on the old memory LOL

[Peace]
