Secret signs and hidden mystical paths are not something you will hear me talk very much about here at Reiki Blogger. Because, it is very easy to get side tracked like a kid in a candy store with that sort of thing.

But.

There IS a hidden path. And there ARE secret signs.

Synchronicity

Synchronicity as defined by wikipedia as “the experience of two or more occurrences (beyond coincidentally) in a manner that is logically meaningful- but inexplicable- to the person or persons experiencing them”.

Synchronicity is the easiest way to access the underlying secret signs and hidden path of everyones life. If you have not read The Celestine Prophecy it is a must read on energy and meaningful coincidences.

Becoming mindful of your life

One of the keys to understanding your life and letting the hidden messages that are around you all the time flow into your consciousness is to start to become more mindful.

Most of the time we only experience a fraction of what happens during a regular day. We can walk from here to there and have been completely absorbed by what we were thinking about or talking about that we just completely missed everything that went on around us.

We also become busy. Physically aswell as mentally. Our day is so full that there is no room for the life force of the universe to squeeze its way in.

Creating more space

If you want to start to see the hidden messages the universe has for each and every one of us then you also need to start to create more space in your life.

You need to create both physical space as well as mental space.

One of the best ways to do this, mentally, is to practise meditation. Simple sitting meditation where you just allow your mind to rest. Not actively using your mind for thinking or problem solving. But, too, not letting your mind “veg out”. Keeping a nice even balance between losing focus and holding your mind too tightly.

That will help create space mentally.

And physically, we need to let ourselves have time to just be. I know that sounds all new-agey and navel gazing, but it is the thing we need. That does not have to be lying on your back watching the clouds (although you should definitely do that and some star gazing again soon!) it can be as simple as not planning your day too tightly.. and allowing some flexibility into your routine.. allowing some time for things to just “pop up”.

Notice Patterns

Part of starting to understand the symbols and signs the universe uses to communicate with you is to start noticing patterns around you. Things that are familiar. Does a particular bird or butterfly come to rest each day on your window sill. Does the same color truck always seem to be parked next to your car at work? That sort of thing.

Do not worry.

Remember the reiki ideals in all of this. Do not worry if you see no patterns, and you think the universe is probably talking to everyone except you. Do not worry if you think you see patterns everywhere and you feel like you might be going crazy.

It will all make more sense the more you try to do it. Nothing gets harder with practice. (Tibetan proverb)

Keep a Journal

Try to keep a daily journal or the things that seemed important each day. Things that made you remember signs, symbols and hidden messages. Things that awoke your intuition today.

I have found it very helpful to try and become aware of my thinking. And then to try and notice what I am doing at certain times, say, when I start thinking about signs. Or when another sign (for me it is often a white butterfly or a white feather for example) comes to mind. What am I doing? Right at that moment?

That seems to help.

Reiki Guides

Some people have emailed me and asked whether I go in for Reiki Guides or not. It is certainly an interesting question. My main Reiki teacher certainly did. But, some of my current Reiki friends do not.

So, I put it to you like this. There is an underlying wisdom and knowingness in the universe. That pure essence (for want of a better word, and to steer away from sectarian bias by calling it the holy spirit or Buddha Nature) I am without a shadow of a doubt convinced, seeks to support our spiritual development and aid our everyday happiness.

I think the pure essence is continuously talking to us, and guiding us toward spiritual development. And I think in reiki terms you could be pretty safe to call it the “heart” of the universe’s life force.

How does Reiki fit in

I think we are lucky. Very lucky. To know about reiki and to be able to use reiki, when it comes to this sort of thing. Reiki is HUGELY helpful in identifying meaningful messages.

You can be in a book store and pickup a book that is going to help you progress on your spiritual path, or aid your everyday happiness and the energy will start flowing. You will start to feel the energy in your hands.

Or you will be having a good conversation with a friend and the energy will start to flow in your 3rd eye chakra, or your heart chakra.. and it will give you a hint about what is helpful for you to see at that time.

One at a Time, adds up to Your Path

The trick to reading the secret signposts of your life is that you can only ever read them one at a time. Because they all happen in the present moment. There is no message to find in the past or the future, because that is all subjective and tied up with your ego.

Although this may seem a little frustrating, never knowing what is written on the next page. In the end whether you are in the experience of a meaningful experience or in the space in-between, when you add them all together they reveal the hidden path that is your destiny.

If you can keep your mind open and spacious you will uncover the greatest mystery of all. Your spiritual path.
