Brighton Reiki - Rifa Bhunnoo

I like this green. I don’t like duffy. I worked out I work on average over 50 hours a week. They are introducing timesheets. I had to go to a military base today. I am a year older. I get to ride a horse tomorrow. I love my husband. I don’t like lack of sleep but I like fixing things. Thank god for bank holidays. I’m going for a full maintenance check from Bupa. More for the craic than brain tumour worries. Lots of new enquiries from people who’ve read the Times piece.Hope I’ve got a bit left over for the weekend.

I got really annoyed recently because (not for the first time) I discovered someone has ripped off my reiki website. It’s ridiculous because how lazy can you be, (or stupid) not to be able to write a simple few lines in your own words? I had the misfortune of one of my own students being offended when I gently pointed out that her website content, structure and code was actually identical to mine. Obviously the person had only copied the generic pages, they drew the line at actually pretending to have had my experiences in Nepal and India. However, the reason I get so annoyed is that it’s not difficult to write but it is difficult, tedious and annoying to handcode a whole website from scratch with a book on HTML and Notepad which is what I did in 2000 when i put together my own website. So to have someone just think they can rip me off is annoying. And then denying it is just boring. Anyway, the more recent example of a plagiarism is just so inane, I am probably more annoyed at myself for getting annoyed about it in the first place. I mean, it’s not like someone didn’t give me a photo credit or ripped off my wedding day or took over my radio show.

Oh…

i wrote a long blog about my current job and then got paranoid, so deleted it.

Reiki works wonders in the work place. When you are finding people irritating, bullying or just plain lazy, send some loving reiki around the place. i’ve used reiki when I am just stuck on a project and can’t see a way out. After the reiki everything seems to fall into place as if by magic.

Reiki is not just something you do when you’re in a relaxed state and giving yourself a nice treat or when you feel physically drained. Use it in your everyday situations or send reiki using distant healing to events in the future: those troublesome meetings, pay reviews and interviews.

If you’re looking for a new job, try writing a wish list of all the things you want from a job. Set aside your doubts, or negativity…don’t say ‘that salary is unrealistic’ or ‘there are no firms like this near me’ or ‘i’ll have to take a pay cut if i move out of london’. JUST WRITE THE LIST and put it somewhere safe. and if you get all or most of the things you wished for but you’re still not happy - refine the list.

BE SPECIFIC:

1. how much salary and bonuses do you want?

2. where do you want to work: locality, what sort of environment, what sort of office? or home-based?

3. flexible hours? or 9 to 5?

4. socialble or home alone? what sort of people?

5. what do you need to get real job satisfaction?

6. do you want to go self-employed? this list can be as long as you like.

WISH BIG - you will be amazed how opportunities will come to you, if you allow yourself to THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU REALLY WANT AND ASK THE UNIVERSE. Besides, it’s just a list, if you don’t believe me and don’t want to do it, then you haven’t gained anything, and if you DO IT and nothing happens, then you’ve not lost anything. But if you do it and it works, well done you for spending the time to think about your life. No-one else is going to think about it for you.
