Recently, my friend Idil posted something on her FB wall about a mistake that she'd made. She was really hard on herself for not initially seeing how simple the solution to this challenge that she'd been racking her brains over all day long. The challenge she was having was a computer challenge and though she explained both the challenge and it's "simple" solution, I am still unclear on exactly what was going on in her computer world. LOL! I am a point, click and type computer user. Anything more challenging than that is beyond my comprehension. To me, Idil is an absolute genius. (This is not Idil's only area of genius. You'll hear more about her genius in times to come;)) I'm certain that if you don't speak HTML, she's a genius to you as well.
I happen to have been able to do Reiki before my first attunement. I remember explaining the sensations that I'd feel in the palms of my hands as I'd pass by a car accident and pray for the victims, to a friend. She was amazed and then began to explain to me that it sounded as if I was practicing Reiki thought I'd never heard of it before. Since then, I've been attuned twice and I still forget that this is a genius of mine. Whenever I practice, I receive great feedback about how relaxed the participant is.
This brought me to the conclusion that we tend to ignore our genius. Just because it's second nature to you doesn't mean that it's not valuable or magnificent. Whenever I practice Reiki, I receive great feedback about how relaxed the participant is afterwards or how great the energy was. Whenever Idil does something computer related for me, I am simply amazed and extrememly grateful. So, what genius are you ignoring? Honor it and see how life changes for you.
