The writer in the flow of reiki

I was speaking today to another who is a Reiki Master. She is writing a book that she would like to see published. And I realized how a writer uses - or can use - the principles of Usui Shiki Ryoho, the healing method that uses reiki, the universal energy:
To call in our guides and masters into the situation of writing and getting a book published
See that this is an action that helps to bring into wholeness the writer, reader, and all who come into contact with the words in the book.
That just as the flow of reiki does not originate from one person or end there, the flow of the words does not originate or end with the writer; that just as the reiki healer is a facilitator, so is the writer a receiver of ideas from wherever they originate, a crafter of them into words, a midwife who is actively involved in all aspects of the writing, organizing, thinking, editing, rethinking, reorganizing, sending to publishers, interacting with the pre-publication readers and later perhaps with the post publication ones.....
And in this process, the writer fully lives the ideas in her book, as does the healer. Receives the blessings of the ideas, as does the healer who channels reiki.
The healer stays detached from the outcome of the session - or strives to - knowing that in its true intelligence, the reiki energy brings about the highest good of all concerned. And perhaps, so can the writer.
In this way, just as a healer feels refreshed and blessed after giving or receving reiki, knowing both to be in the flow; so can the writer take the blessings of the flow of creation in which she has played an amazing part.
How blessed I am to be in such close touch with one who is writing....!

Channeling universal love is such a joy :)
Right you are, sunshine!
Meenakshi, I feel resonant with you… so much so!
“How blessed I am to be in such close touch with one who is writing….!”
Your words ring true for me on so many levels!
Namaste.
Well, you are a writer, Nishtha, and this resonates with you- thank you! Namaste.
And a warm hug.
I'm loving the Reiki stories and inspirations!
Anna, Walking the Labyrinth with you, showed me it was time….
I let the flow of the divine inspire me in my songs. Sending light to all of your projects. jx
Ah yes - perhaps that's another blog coming! Singing is so close to the energy it comes from, Janie.
Yes, Meenakshi, yes.
Aho Meenakshi. Having just received the Reiki III Attunement, I can testify in support of what you're saying here. Thank you for pointing our attention back to the flow of Reiki :)
I have the wonderful fortune to live in the same space as a writer and it is a wonderful thing! Smiles!
Amber, it's you, right ?:p
Andrew, how wonderful! You received it just before the full moon, also Guru Purnima [honoring spiritual teachers]. Thank you for the validation. It really helps!
