Twitter Help Badges!
I got my Twitter account a couple of months ago, but haven't really used it much. During the past 2 weeks, though, I've been logging on each night and scanning the world's tweets for people in need of help -- questions that need answers, advice that is sought... and sometimes, if I pick up some good energy, I will tweet back with a constructive and positive answer. I've gained about 15 followers in the last few weeks alone, mostly people who enjoy hearing what I have to say or those who have had a nice chat with me. It feels good to actually CONNECT with those who follow me, or people who are just being conversational. I don't want a BS Twitter account with a bunch of people never hear from me personally. (I've also enjoyed doing my recent weekend horoscope. Maybe I'll start making it a weekly thing if I have time, who knows?)
Anyway... today, I'm so excited to announce that I've been awarded the Twithelp "Bronze Helper Badge" for my recent Twitter interactions! Yeah! :)
I've always felt that helping others was its own reward, and I still do. But nevertheless, I still appreciate the recognition. Thanks, @Twithelpme and @Twithelpbot! :)
When I tweeted my badge success, I earned another one for using the help app. Feels a tiny bit like a "certificate of participation," but what the heck... I've earned it, so here it is! :)
Here's my page on Twithelp.me for those of you who are interested. I look forward to helping other people, and I have to admit, it would be nice to collect some badges along the way. But giving assistance is also pretty awesome in and of itself. :)

A situation will turn in ur favor, so try 2 be fair 2 the loser.
You're not usually a sore winner, but in this case, you should be even more gracious and understanding. That isn't to say you can't enjoy your king-of-the-hill status; but know that no one likes someone who's obsessed with tooting his or her own horn. Be modest. :)

Information on Reiki
---------ORIGINAL PRINCIPLES & REIKI RYOHO ---------
http://www.lifepositive.com/reiki.html
The Original Principles Formulated by Usui Sensei:
Dr. Mikao Usui the founder of Reiki Ryoho, adopted five admonitions to live by from the Meiji Emperor, that if applied with Reiki, would heal the body, bring peace of mind, and happiness in life. Following are those admonitions, taught as the Reiki Principles, Precepts or Ideals. It is interesting to see the variations from the various Reiki Organizations, even in the translated version.
From Usui Sensei's memorial: ...when it comes to teaching, first let the student understand well the Meiji Emperor's admonitory, then in the morning and in the evening let them chant and have in mind the five admonitions which are:
• Don't get angry today.
• Don't be grievous.
• Express your thanks.
• Be diligent in your business.
• Be kind to others.
—from the original document in Usui Sensei's handwriting.
The Ideals
• Just for today, thou shall not anger.
• Just for today, thou shall not worry.
• Thou shall be grateful for the many blessings.
• Earn thy livelihood with honest labor.
• Be kind to thy neighbors.
—as taught by Mrs. Takata.
Reiki Principles
• Just for today, I will not worry.
• Just for today, I will not be angry.
• Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings.
• Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
• Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.
—as taught by Reiki Alliance Masters.
Reiki Principles
• Just for today, I will let go of anger.
• Just for today, I will let go of worry.
• Today, I will count my many blessings.
• Today, I will do my work honestly.
• Today, I will be kind to every living creature.
—as taught by The Radiance Technique.
Reiki Principles or Precepts
• Just for today, do not worry.
• Just for today, do not anger.
• Honor your parents, teachers and elders.
• Earn your living honestly.
• Show gratitude to every living thing.
—as taught by some Independent Reiki Masters.
Other Translations of Reiki Ryoho Principles
• The secret art of inviting happiness
• The miraculous medicine of all diseases
• Just for today, do not anger
• Do not worry and be filled with gratitude
• Devote yourself to your work
• Be kind to people
• Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer
• Pray these words to your heart and chant these words with your mouth
• Usui Reiki Treatment for the improvement of body and mind
—version of translation from The Center for Reiki Training.
• The Secret Method of Inviting Blessings
• The Spiritual Medicine of Many Illnesses
• For today only, do not anger, do not worry.
• Do your work with appreciation.
• Be kind to all people.
• In the morning and at night hold your hands in prayer, meditate on and chant these words.
• The Usui Reiki method to change your mind and body for the better.
—version of translation from Traditional Japanese Reiki School TJR.
Reiki Principles from a Satya Reiki Poem, 'Clarifying The Wind':
Don't get angry today
Don't mind or worry today
Don't be afraid
Thanks to the world and every being
Work hard Be kind to every being
Make morning and evening Namaste and say thanks to all beings
Thanks to God and existence
—version of a Japanese lineage through Eguchi

Reiki Kanji:
The kanji characters Rei and Ki both have an old and a modern form. The old form kanji (written by Usui and Takata Sensei's) best describes Reiho, was rediscovered by Usui Sensei. The word Reiki with a capital "R" is the word, which describes the energy of this system. The old style kanji is the form that is currently used by the Radiance Technique and some independent Reiki Teachers.
The old form kanji as written on the precepts by Usui Sensei, best describes the system known as Reiho. It is easily explainable as follows:
Rei—Strokes, 24. Consists of three parts. The topmost denotes 'rain', the middle stands for 'objects' and the bottom stands for 'shaman'. Rei means 'spirit or spiritual'.
The Japanese dictionary defines Rei as:
1. Spirit; the spiritual aspect of the human being as contrasted to the physical.
2. Divine, luminous, charismatic, supernatural, mysterious.
3. The luminosity of the spirit; the luminosity of a God or Sage.
4. Inconceivable spiritual ability; charismatic power; charisma; wonderful; a wonder.
5. A rainmaker, a diviner; a person or being with spiritual or supernatural powers.
6. A shaman.
7. Goodness; good, excellent, efficacious.
8. Clever, nimble, sharp.
9. Life.
10. A living being; a human being.
11. A supernatural (mythical) beast or being; a fairy, an elf.
12. Pure, undefined, unpolluted.
13. Bright, clear.
Ki—Strokes, 10. Consists of 'breath with rice' (rice in Japan is sometimes used as a synonym for people). Ki means 'energy'.
The Japanese dictionary defines Ki as:
1. Vital energy connected with the breath. Invisible life force, somewhat equivalent to the Indian prana.
2. In the view of Zhuxi and other Neo-Confucians, the material force of the Universe. The generative forces of heaven and earth, by means of which all things are constantly reproduced.
3. Air.
4. Breath, steam.
Description of the Old Form Reiki kanji:
On the earth stands a shaman with his arms raised against the sky. From the heaven the rain comes down with lifesaving energy consisting of three parts: Light, Love and Wisdom. The shaman acts as a channel (channeling this energy down to all the people of the Earth). The Reiki teacher is the channel when s/he initiates students and the practitioner is the shaman, when s/he channels this spiritual energy to the people treated.
Description of the New Form Reiki kanji:
The meaning of the new form kanji from a Japanese dictionary is, 'aura'. The new form kanji does not give an accurate description of Usui Sensei's Reiki Ryoho.
Rei—Strokes, 15; (1) soul; spirit; departed soul; ghost.
Ki—Strokes, 6; (1) spirit, mind.
Katakana script—according to a friend in the Gakkai, Katakana is mainly utilized for foreign names and brands like Toyota and Seiko and does not properly represent Usui Sensei's Reiki Ryoho.

What Reiki Ryoho is:
Usui Sensei said: "Reiki Ryoho is a spiritual healing technique and an energy healing technique". Spiritual healing connects one with Universal Consciousness bringing spiritual growth by healing core patterns and issues and helping one remember the fullness of 'who they are'. Energy healing brings relief from pain and symptoms in the mind, body and emotions.
Reiki Ryoho brings one to understand the 'purpose of life'; establishes the 'Self' which is aware of the 'True meaning of Life' as part of Universal Consciousness; connects one to Higher levels of consciousness. Reiki Ryoho is a spiritually-guided, individual experience and a powerful tool for personal growth and spiritual enlightenment.
Reiki Ryoho expands 'Love', helping one to understand the True meaning of 'Unconditional Love'. Reiho increases and spreads the vibration of 'Love' to all of life.
Reiki Ryoho expands 'Harmony', raises one's vibrations to be in sync (or resonance) with the Divine and in so doing brings 'Peace' and happiness on personal, family and global levels. It is for you and everyone alive who is desirous of a higher quality of life. Reiki is pure 'Divine Light'.
Reiki Ryoho restores wholeness to body, mind and spirit, increases intuition, and helps one reconnect to their 'God-given' gifts of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience. It is a transcendental, counterclockwise spiraling energy, which works with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels simultaneously. It is an evolutionary process, which will increase the natural flow of events and patterns of manifestation in all life. This precise self-help technique encourages personal growth and transformation on all levels.
Reiki Ryoho is a powerful natural system that unlocks the inner flow of vital energy, restoring and balancing the energy systems in all living things. This natural healing system is complete and whole in and of itself, yet acts synergistically with all other healing methods. It is for preventing disorders, maintaining positive wellness, helping the healing process and is beneficial in emergency situations or when used with medical and other procedures.
Reiki is always available and is unlimited; once attuned to the energy, you never lose it and cannot over use it. It is safe and easy to use anytime, any place, any situation and it can never be used to manipulate or control anything.
What Reiki Ryoho is not:
Reiki Ryoho does not involve E.S.P. or unusual psychic phenomenon; is not a form of psychic healing or psychic surgery and is not a massage technique.
Reiki Ryoho is not difficult to use or limited to a select few people. It is not just for when one is ill or used simply to reduce pain and symptoms. Reiho wholes the body, bringing it into sync with the Divine rhythm of the Universe. Everyone can learn, use and benefit from daily use of Reiho.
Reiki Ryoho cannot be taught by just anyone, it is necessary to receive extensive training in order to teach the system. There are many organizations, schools, and individuals that teach Reiki but few teach Usui Reiki Ryoho.
Psychic Sage Forecast for June 2011
Aries: This month, new information will lead to greater success with your work, but those who are close to you will be feeling neglected. The end of the month brings "surprise" expenses... so you'll end up breaking even, except for the lessons you've learned!
LOVE DAYS: 1, 7, 11
MONEY DAYS: 2, 30
PERSONAL POWER DAY: 23
Taurus: Try to stick close to home and go slow this month, and save your pennies for a rainy day. Someone who you respect will be criticizing you for what they perceive as "laziness," but they don't know the whole story. Be careful and take things one step at a time.
LOVE DAYS: 20, 29, 30
PROSPERITY DAYS: 5, 16, 25
POWER DAY: 14
Gemini: You've been mired in feelings of nostalgia for the past: simpler times, moments of youthful enthusiasm and fun. But the truth is, it's time for you to move on and live in the present. Stop escaping from the conflicts at hand and delve into them. This will be a struggle. Hang in there!
LOVE DAYS: 12, 29
PROSPERITY DAYS: 18, 20, 28
POWER DAY: 13
Cancer: The next few weeks will be full of possibility. An endeavor that you've been working on will finally begin to turn in your favor, but only if you take control of the situation. You will gain new insight about a difficult problem, which will give you new ideas about how to handle it.
LOVE DAYS: 2, 19, 24
PROSPERITY DAYS: 11, 28
POWER DAY: 19
Leo: You're focused on some important projects this month. The direction that your biggest priority will take is still unclear to you; you need to explore all avenues before making up your mind. You're going to get much closer with someone who really interests you. The end of the month will bring a calm after the storm.
LOVE DAYS: 3, 4, 18, 22
PROSPERITY DAYS: 15
POWER DAY: 22
Virgo: There are hidden details surrounding something that has been worrying you. Try to shake things up a bit this month by exploring new places -- whether it's a new coffee shop down the street, or a vacation somewhere truly exotic -- this will bring peace, companionship, and a whole new perspective to your life. Keep your emotions in check; try not to let little things bother you this month.
LOVE DAY: 1
PROSPERITY DAYS: 16, 17, 24, 25
POWER DAY: 18
Libra: Many responsibilities from your past are now coming to a "head" this month. Seek advice from someone older and wiser who's been there before. You will learn some new information which leads to a burst of creativity in resolving some of the issues at hand. Go with your instincts!
LOVE DAYS: 14, 23, 25
PROSPERITY DAYS: 7, 28, 29
POWER DAY: 13
Scorpio: May is going to be awesome for Scorpio! Prosperity and love are both in the cards for you this month. There will be some important action required of you as well. Proceed with caution only at the beginning; as soon as you've figured out which actions to take, move swiftly. Your instincts are right on point with the situation.
LOVE DAYS: 7 ,13, 21, 29
PROSPERITY DAYS: 21, 28
POWER DAY: 19
Sagittarius: Your hopes have been high lately. Some may say you're wearing rose-colored glasses, but don't let their dour viewpoints get to you. People will be watching you carefully this month, but the opinions they form will be rash and filled with inaccuracies. Don't be afraid to let others know how you feel.
LOVE DAYS: 26, 21
PROSPERITY DAYS: 1, 2, 13
POWER DAY: 31
Capricorn: You need to separate yourself from the crowd this month, and give yourself a bit of a break. Other people's drama is stressing you out quite a lot. Ordinarily it's good to resolve issues, but now is a better time to lay low and wait for the storm to pass. Someone unexpected will defend you in the middle of the month. Be sure to express thanks for it.
LOVE DAYS: 1, 6, 21
PROSPERITY DAYS: 12, 25
POWER DAY: 24
AQUARIUS: Even though you'll be expected to play by some pretty strict rules thoughout May, you just won't be able to get ahead this month. There will be quite a strain on you physically and financially within the coming weeks, but fortunately you can rely on your friends to keep your head on straight.
LOVE DAYS: 18, 24, 30
PROSPERITY DAYS: 18
POWER DAY: 19, 22
PISCES: You need to focus on yourself this month or else you will not be much good to anyone else. You have some pretty lofty dreams right now and your creativity is high, so enjoy planning for the future. Do not allow criticism to go to your head; the source of these negative words is actually jealousy and resentment which will be worked out when the time is right.
LOVE DAYS: 12, 21, 24
PROSPERITY DAYS: 1, 4, 28
POWER DAYS: 27
