One of the things talked about in my reiki training was providing reiki to your food, either for yourself, a friend or loved one, or a pet. With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching, reiki may be a good addition to the dinner table.

There are two ways to give reiki to food. The first way is to actually send reiki during the cooking process. The second would be to reiki the food once it’s cooked and prior to putting it on the table. In fact, many families say grace prior to eating. This would be a good time to send reiki to the food.

To me, the goal of the holiday is to give thanks and spend quality time with friends and family. To me, giving reiki to the food is like giving an extra hug. And, it’s something to think about this Thanksgiving holiday.

The first half of your daily abundance journal entry should be thankfulness. After all, it’s only polite to thank the universe for whatever you receive. I also think it helps to set the proper mood for creating our story and inviting abundance into your life. Otherwise, if you simply ask for what you want without being thankful for it, then that makes you look greedy. There’s plenty for everyone. We just need to not be greedy and accept our share.

Finding things about which to be thankful shouldn’t be difficult. The daily list can be a mix of small things (thankful for getting a good parking spot, for example) and large (thankful for a continued ill family’s members improving health). And, being thankful doesn’t have to be strictly money related. Abundance and prosperity isn’t just dollars and cents. We have an abundance of joy, health, friendship…there are many things we can be thankful about, and by letting all the forms of abundance into our live we can “pave the way” for prosperity.

The important part is to make the thanks you offer meaningful. Don’t be thankful about something that you’ve griped about all day. Be thankful about things that you really do want more of in your life. And, don’t stress over this. Simply relax and let it flow. At first you may not be able to list a lot, but as your work with the abundance journal goes on, you’ll find more and more things you’re thankful about. Once you have that, then writing your own story comes naturally.
