Your Nov. 28th Message

Hello Indira, I hope you enjoy your trip to Austin! Your Nov. 28th message about the ego being drama and darkness... This message dawned a light of understanding about the ego, for me, that I have never had before. I have always struggled to understand even a glimpse of what the ego is. Thank you opening my eyes so I can begin to understand it, and be aware of it. This message was sooooo helpful to me! Love, Mary

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is my 16 th Reiki Master birthday. I am very gratefull for this path full of learning, growth and fullfillment in my life.

Response to Gabi and Jen

Hello Dear Students, I decided to create a new post here, rather than adding to the comments in the recent questions and posts. 

Gabi, I very much like Elisabeth's response to you and to Jen. Elisabeth (Sanatha) has often made herself vulnerable here in the classroom, talking about her own battle with depression (an inherited predisposition)...and her last comments here show that she is imbibing the teachings. I so admire each of you for reaching out, for making the inner commitment to break free. I admire your courage. It is not easy to make one’s self vulnerable….even here in the Classroom. It may seem easier to hide in the shadows….not to make ourselves too vulnerable to ridicule or pain. It seems safer, sometimes, in the shadows.

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to add a further question to the angel message from the 7th of November. What should I do if I can't or don't want to live up to somebody's demands or expectations. Should I just say sorry, that is your problem and not mine, or try to be nice and do what is expected of me even if it is against my own intrest or feelings?

With love,

Gabi

Hi Indira and classmates,

I just read the daily message from November 7th. I love it, but I have real problems with it. How can I stop expecting and demanding things from people I am close to? Can,t I expect help from my husband with house work and other things? Can't I expect colleagues to do their fair share of work...... ? It feels to me that when I stop demanding things I have to do everything myself which will be more peaceful but would not feel right either.

I would be very greatful for an answer.

With love, Gabi

NOVEMBER 2009 MESSAGE

I encourage you to read the monthly message on my website (here)...particularly because it compliments your lesson this month. This month each of you, even beginning students, have received the same lesson. Because receptivity and gratitude are important for every student, no matter how advanced you are (or think you are). This is is an important lesson for all of you to receive. So please do receive it and contemplate the quality of receptivity and gratitude this month. all love, your teacher
