Partners in Smiles Living in Las Vegas

This morning I was talking to my son and fellow Reiki Practitioner. He has started a new job and questioning why he is working in this new environment.
So many times, we get tunnel vision and forget that we are beings of light and energy. We are tasked with lightening the area around us and helping others enter light.
Using Reiki to cleanse an area or location is as important as helping relieve pain. Giving a smile and saying something nice is a great gift, but when someone anticipates your next encounter, they build an expectation, they hope you will not fail them, and then they initiate the gift and it becomes an equal exchange. This may not make sense, but let me give you an example:

You are passing a co-worker and they look sad or out of sorts. You smile and exchange pleasantries. They smile and maybe feel better for the shift. It cost you nothing to smile, but the gift you gave can have a cumulative affect. 

The next day, you see the same co-worker in the distance. As you get closer, you remember to smile and again they tentatively smile in return. But what you don't know is that they saw you in the distance and anticipated that smile, wondering if you would smile again and be nice. Now they have two memories of your smiling face and a hope that you will return.

Day three and you see the same co-worker. The anticipation starts and they wonder if you will smile again or will you fail them. We are conditioned to expect others to let us down, but remember this co-worker has two pictures of you smiling and the hope of another smile. If you smile again, it will seal the deal and they will look forward to your smiles. You smile and now they fully smile and take that smile into the day.

The next time you see this person, they will smile first and now it has become an equal exchange. You are not giving a gift you are exchanging gifts and the environment has changed. You now have a partner in smiling. You smile, they smile and others anticipate the smiles and hope. The process is now repeated by you and your partner in smiles and you are joined by others. 

The cumulative affect of a smile is wonderful, but that is the gift of Reiki. Reiki gives us a way to share energy in the most simple ways. We don't just work jobs, we bring energy and help others see beauty.
