We were to visit the BBG (Brooklyn Botanical Garden) after Saturday brunch, but crossing the street my wife tripped on a hole in the street. She heard and felt a "crack," and limped over to the curb, sat down, and looked at me, "what do we do." I had visions of spending the day in the emergency room, and her foot in a cast. We waited, and after a while, the pain reduced and she was able to limp over to the restaurant leaning on my daughter and i, and hopping on the other leg.
At this point, she said bravely, "i don't think its broken." And we agreed to have brunch before going to the hospital. "Try Reiki on it," she said."
We got her shoe off, and i very gently placed my hands around her swollen ankle. We sat there, and i was focused on creating a healing space, unaware of people watching us from other tables. After awhile, i could feel the pain leaving her ankle. I stopped and closed our auric fields.
"How do you feel?" i asked.
"I could feel the pain just release," she said. "Your hands had gotten really hot."
We finished brunch, and got up to leave the restaurant. "Can you walk, or should we get a cab?"
"I'm fine. Let's go to the Botanical Garden as we planned."
She was walking without a limp, we went down the subway steps, took the train, and spent the day walking through the Garden. One area was a Japanese Shrine, and water pond. It was surrounded by a wooden fence, and we went inside.
This area was built in 1915, and, the dedication included 3 Kanji, two of which are central to Reiki, Dai and Myo.
There are times when i do not understand, nor need to understand, what happens in the world. Sometimes, it is enough to be thankful, and to enjoy the being with family or friends, the sun, the day, the garden, the moment ...... and accept a gift when it occurs.
