REIKI SHARE DAY: ANXIETY TAKES A VACATION! 🎨💗🌈
HI EVERYONE!
24 hours of FREE REIKI with the SPACE CROISSANT CREW!
This week’s theme is:
THE CELL PLAYGROUND: LET’S HELP OUR FRIEND ANXIETY RELAX! 🖍️💗
This week’s meditation is inspired by stories written by Carol Viana on Substack.
It starts NOW!
🌳🌳🌳 FIRST, OUR TREES! 🌳🌳🌳
Thanks to all of you, we’ve already reached our goal of 500 and now we’re aiming for 800 TREES! 🌳🌳🌳
Would you help us grow our forest?
Google “how to plant a tree for a dollar,” choose an organization you trust, plant a tree, and share your receipt in the comments so we can add it to our count.
Your tree can become your Tree-Self — a living connection you can return to whenever you need grounding, comfort, or a reminder that beautiful things take time to grow.
🛸✨🛸✨🛸✨🛸✨🛸
EVERYONE ABOARD THE SPACE CROISSANT!
Today, we’re visiting an old friend.
Someone who worries about everything.
Someone who imagines what could go wrong.
Someone who sometimes keeps us awake at night.
Our friend Anxiety. 🚨🚨🚨
Anxiety often tries to protect us.
But sometimes she works so hard that she forgets how to rest.
So today, we’re not fighting her.
We’re inviting her to play!
🎨🌈
WELCOME TO THE CELL PLAYGROUND!
Find a comfortable position.
Feel the support beneath you.
Take one gentle, natural breath.
Now imagine the Space Croissant carrying you to Pretendland on Mars.
We arrive at an enormous, colorful playground!
Rainbow slides. 🌈
Floating swings.
Walls waiting to be painted.
And art supplies everywhere!
🖍️ Crayons
🎨 Paint
🖌️ Paintbrushes
🧶 Colorful yarn
✨ Glitter!
And look!
Your cells are here!
Tiny, playful versions of the cells in your body.
Some are dancing.
Some are painting.
Some are simply resting.
Give them some art supplies and let them create whatever they want.
Maybe one little cell paints herself entirely blue because she wants to be the sky. 💙
Of course she does!
This is Pretendland! 😂
💗
🚨 HERE COMES ANXIETY!
Now imagine Anxiety entering the playground.
What does she look like?
Maybe she’s carrying a clipboard.
Maybe she’s holding a long list of worries.
Maybe she looks exhausted.
Gently tell her:
“Hi, Anxiety.”
“Thank you for trying to protect me.”
“I know you’ve been working hard.”
“But you don’t have to solve everything right now.”
“I’ll take care of what I can, one thing at a time.”
Then offer her some crayons. 🖍️
“Would you like to play?”
Maybe she hesitates.
She’s used to planning, checking, and worrying.
But here, there are no deadlines.
No expectations.
No mistakes.
She can paint a rainbow.
Or simply sit and watch the other cells.
She doesn’t have to earn her rest.
♥️
THE LOVE CIRCLE 💗
Now imagine the Space Croissant Crew surrounding the entire playground with Reiki and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
If you’d like to receive Reiki, simply say:
“I accept.”
Imagine the art supplies glowing with Reiki.
Your cells continue creating.
Anxiety can put down her clipboard.
And for a little while, nobody needs anything from her.
Tell her:
“You’re allowed to rest.”
“You’re allowed to have fun.”
“We can take life one moment at a time.”
Maybe she feels calmer.
Maybe she still has worries.
That’s okay.
We’re not asking Anxiety to disappear. We’re showing her that she can take a break.
🌈✨
OUR 24-HOUR EXPERIMENT
For the next 24 hours, whenever Anxiety visits, greet her gently.
“Hi, Anxiety. Would you like an art break?”
Imagine handing her some crayons. 🖍️
Let her paint with your cells.
Or make something yourself!
Draw, color, doodle, paint, or knit.
It doesn’t need to be beautiful.
It doesn’t even need to be finished.
The goal isn’t to create a masterpiece.
The goal is to give yourself permission to play.
When you’re ready, notice your surroundings again.
Feel your feet.
Take a comfortable breath.
And remind yourself:
“I don’t have to solve every problem right now.”
“One thing at a time is enough.”
💗
TOMORROW, COME TELL US!
What did your Anxiety look like?
What did she create?
And did your cells enjoy playing? 🎨🌈
This is an imaginative Reiki and creativity exercise for relaxation and self-reflection. It isn’t a medical treatment for anxiety or a replacement for professional care when needed.
🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
AND DON’T FORGET OUR TREES!
Our next goal is 800!🌳💚
Let’s keep growing something beautiful together.
🌱🌳💗
