Finding myself all of a sudden completely alone and in some-one else’s clothing (dreams are like that aren’t they?), actually,typical Indian men’s clothing, and coming outdoors from wher-ever I was, and feeling cold. The clothing was not warm enough for the sudden change in weather. Feeling quite chilled and notknowing what to do, I was all of a sudden given a shawl to keepme warm. Telling me, as I see it, that I will ALWAYS be pro-vided with whatever I need to keep me comfortable in every newand unexpected circumstance.I next found myself confused while walking through alleys of what seemed like some old part of town, not feeling lost or frightened, just confused, that I didn’t understand how to getwhere I wanted to…as if it was something I already knew andcouldn’t remember…When I asked the first person I met, hesimply said, “Follow your instincts.” I think that needs noexplanation…but was for me, at that point, so profound that Iwoke in tears of joy.
The dream was a turning point. I began to grasp with greaterclarity and a deeper understanding the meaning of the words, “donot worry.” There were some shaky moments to be sure, veryshaky actually, but the constant use of Reiki, meditation andprayer, and focus on the Ideals proved themselves once again. Ittook some time, more than my problematic impatience couldstand at moments, but things slowly worked their way out, inways, of course, that I could never have imagined.Which is all part of the message! Let GO and let GOD!Don’t worry about the “how’s.” Don’t set limits as to how thesolution will present itself. As Caroline Myss says in
Invisible Acts of Power,
“…when we release our needs and prayers to theUniverse without strings attached, the heavens take care of coordinating the outcome.…Look upon everything from theend of [your] prayer onward as having a part to play in theanswer to your prayer…” Not worrying implies FAITH. Implicit Faith in the Universeto always supply us with all we need without our needing to knowor understand the means by which this is done. It is simply beyondour human comprehension. Faith is like a plant. It must be nur-tured and cared for or it will wither and die. We can nurture ourFaith by talking with God, but talking WITH does not meanmonologue. As with any conversation, it must be a dialogue. It isnot enough just to talk to God; we must listen as well. We mustbe aware, or we will not hear the messages God has for us.I TALK to God (Universe, Source) every day. I make it ahabit to do this morning and night and in between very fre-quently. Not just asking for things, but “seeing” and “hearing”and being aware when they happen in answer to my requests.Thank you for the parking space, the short line at the supermar-ket, an answer in only five minutes when calling technical sup-port. These things are all orchestrated for us, but it is importantto be aware of this and acknowledge our awareness, our “hear-ing” the other side.Once we send our request out, things are set in motion by ourPartner, our co-creator. Nothing “just happens.” And once wecultivate this living, working system, and truly believe in it, therereally is NO NEED TO WORRY. Our work is to look beyondwhat we perceive as obstacles and focus continually on our goals,visualize them in detail, often, not only when praying or meditat-ing, but throughout the day. To believe they will be manifested,but in ways we, as human beings, with our limited senses andunderstandings could never contemplate.There is an overview, a full picture, which we as humanbeings can never see. We live in the world of linear time,where past, present, and future are just that: past (what hasalready occurred), present (what we see in this moment), andfuture (that which has yet to happen). But this is again becausewe are limited by our human capacities. In effect, all time is NOW. That also makes it easier to understand how we can useReiki to bring about change not only in the future, but in thePAST. For in Universal terms, there is no past, present, orfuture, but only NOW.What we need to understand is that although we cannot “see”the actual ways in which solutions will unfold, we can manifestthese goals by “seeing” the end result exactly as we wish it to be.By imagining, by FEELING the feelings of relief, joy, gratitude,amazement, excitement etc., we will feel when everything fallsinto place. And once we have done this, we must leave the“how’s” to God and the Universe, with complete trust. And whenwe do this, there is NO REASON TO WORRY!Remember that

and you cannot go wrong. When we worry, we incorporatenegative thoughts into our manifestations, into our prayers, intoour requests, and this negative energy is received by the Universeand incorporated into the solution which is being formulated orwhich has already been set in place!Below I have paraphrased a short parable,

which tells the storyof Henry and the Missing Bridge. It is one of my favorite examplesfor explaining the concept of “Letting go and letting God.”
Henry was speeding toward a bridge that he knew was out. All that Spirit (God, Universe, Higher Source, etc.) said tohim was, “Continue on, Henry. Things are not always asthey seem, Henry. You will be taken care of, Henry.” AsHenry approached the area where the bridge should havebeen, he saw only a gaping emptiness. It took everything hehad not to stop right there; yet Spirit said, “Henry, continueon, continue on.”So Henry in all his faith, continued on even faster thanbefore, trusting God and the partnership within and visualizing himself on the other side of the divide. Just as he thought hisvehicle was about to careen over the cliffs to a certain death inthe valley below, he saw workmen on the road ahead of him,directing him to an area completely out of sight that he had never
