COVID-19 CoronaVirus

A virus from China has been unleashed across the world. People are getting sick and some are dying. Everyone living on this planet is aware of this. Draconian measures have been taken to try to contain it and mitigate the impact.

This is a focused post for our students of The Radiance Technique® (TRT®), Authentic Reiki® as a support for their meditations during this time of a pandemic.

Through the inner plane science of TRT® – expanded universal energy is focused in your hands and you then have Radiant Touch® – allowing you access to universal, transcendental energy. This post will focus on use of Radiant Touch® in the application of TRT® hands-on as a supportive process.

COVID-19 CoronaVirus has disrupted our lives. But this, too, shall pass.

Many people find themselves sequestered at home, unable to work. We often complain about having to go to work, but suddenly when faced with not being able to work along with the lack of a paycheck, we actually wish we could get back to work.

It’s a time of uncertainty, stress and even deep-seated fear. There are ways to help yourself through this difficult time. With TRT® hands-on, we are able to access universal energy to help bring balance to our body, thoughts and feelings.

TRT® hands-on is a vital part of all degrees of The Radiance Technique®, so these suggestions apply to students of both The First Degree and The Second Degree of TRT®.

Keeping a center point during a pandemic. Focus on your meditations.

A Center Point Within

Many of us are being told by our local and federal governments to stay-at-home and to shelter in place. With extra time at home, it’s a good opportunity for a full TRT® hands-on session, from top to bottom.

An entire session promotes balance throughout your whole body-mind-spirit continuum. Commit to an entire TRT® hands-on session each day. You will connect to a flowering radiant energy that responds to your own needs. Over time, take notice of how it’s manifesting in your daily life. Perhaps a better perspective? More patience? Calmer? Clarity of thought?

It will be your own experiment and experience, unfolding naturally for you. There’s no need to force anything. Simply relax into your TRT® hands-on session.

Include a positive affirmation with your hands-on session if you’d like. One powerful affirmation is: “I am whole, I am well, I am free.” This is from the book The ‘Reiki’ Factor in The Radiance Technique® by Dr. Barbara Ray. She shares this positive affirmation with us in Chapter 15 that starts on page 112. This book is available for your immediate reference from Amazon as an eBook.

Stores ran out of toilet paper as people reacted to fear-driven buying and hoarding.

Fear In The Community

During the virus outbreak, fear pulsates through the awareness of people. We might be afraid for ourselves, or fearful for a beloved family member who is at high-risk. That fear connects to our survival and a fear of death. We’re reminded of our mortality.

Fear is contagious. You might find yourself wondering if you do indeed, need large quantities of toilet paper, when just the day before you were quite sure you didn't.

To help balance yourself, spend extra time with Back Position Number 4. This center, the root chakra or sacral center, connects us to our survival. Let yourself become aware of the emotions swirling around the planet and know that not all of them are yours.

The root center connects us to Mother Earth as well. If you have the ability to spend a moment on a balcony or in a backyard or park, inhale the air and know that the Earth is holding you even in difficult times.

This center also connects us to our immortality in spirit. Allow yourself extra time of 10 or 15 minutes of TRT® hands-on in this center. Relax into your connection in the light of spirit, your connection to the cosmos.

You can remind yourself of this universal spark while doing your hands-on with the words from Carl Sagan, “We are all star stuff.”

Loss of Control

Trying to fight an invisible virus can bring up feelings of helplessness. We experience a loss of control.

We can’t go where we want, do what we wish to do, or even provide for our families as we normally would. Many people experience emotions of imbalance, feeling powerless. Be aware of how you are connected to all these feelings shared by your neighbors and fellow citizens. All of us are a part of the vast body of humanity.

To help balance those emotions, spend extra time in Front Position Number 3. You could also do a combination of one hand in Front Position Number 2 and one hand in Front Position Number 3. This allows you to work with your solar plexus, a power center, and balance your own sense of radiant power and well-being. This is a great position to use while binge-watching any of your favorite shows. You can do both at the same time!

Spend extra time in Back Position Number 3. This helps to balance your adrenals, your natural fight-or-flight response and it helps to release pent-up stress.

The concept of social distancing has entered into our society.

Far Apart, Yet Close Within

In this time of “social distancing,” we may be feeling lonely or sad that we can’t be with loved ones. Being separated from those we love might bring up feelings of loss, even unrelated to the current situation. Maybe this situation emphasizes the loss of family members.

Spend extra time in Front Position Number 1. Here, you can meet your loved ones in the heart and know that we are connected, always, even when we’re physically apart. When you talk with someone on FaceTime or Skype, or on the phone, place one hand in your heart center while talking and listening. It helps to deepen the connection and lets you focus on the energy behind the words. Our hearts sing to one another across time and space. “Listen, listen, listen to my heart song….”

Remember, we will get through this. And we’ll get through it together.
