Like many authors, I’m getting ready at 12:01 AM to start NaNoWriMo. This month-long writing frenzy means lots of caffeine, long nights, and really not taking care of myself. I am not alone. As writer’s we’re focused on the word count, on the story, and other things fall by the wayside.

So as a writer and a reiki practitioner I’d like to propose that we use reiki in the following ways during NaNoWriMo

• 1) As a way to reduce stress. When the word count is done, sit back with a lavender eye pillow across your face, relax, and give yourself reiki
• 2) Support your working digits by reikiing your hands periodically during your marathon writing sessions
• 3) Give reiki to your ears and your eyes to help support them while you focus on your story
• 4) And reiki your neck and shoulders to reduce strain

You can do it. I know you can reach 50,000 words during the month of November. But be smart about it. Pace yourself, and use reiki! It may not be “the force” but it sure helps a lot. Good luck!
