Happy Tuesday!
Today is a big day. Why, you ask? Not only is it Cinco de Mayo but its also my last day at my J.O.B. Scary and exciting all rolled into one package.

Living your highest truth is why we are here. When we aren’t living our highest truth that is when we get ‘blocked’. We forget that we are Spiritual ‘Be’ings having a human experience. We get caught up in the news, gossip, anything to distract us from what the source of the problem is.

Don’t get me wrong. Work is good for you to make money to live. Work is good to give you discipline and to create a base so you can eventually move on and do what you love. Long gone are the days where you worked a job for 20+ years. There are some, I’m sure, but they are rare.

When you finally take the leap, as I am today, it is scary. Why? Because its the unknown. When you are receiving a weekly paycheck you feel secure. You know that its going to be there so you can pay your bills, plan vacations, etc. The downside of that is that you know what your ceiling is. Yep. You know that you are making X amount and people in your ‘field’ make X amount. When you take the leap in doing what you love the ceiling is limitless. Depending on you, of course. Read my blog from a couple of days ago on ‘Self Sabotage’. You could do that and go back to your J.O.B. saying, “See. It didn’t work.”

How do you avoid that?

Surround yourself with like minded people. Tell those in the positions that you want to be in, what you are doing. Avoid telling your family (Haha), or at least the ‘worry warts’. There are a million people out there that will tell you how it will not work. Avoid them! Avoid telling them. Bless them and move on your way. 9 times out of 10 those people telling you that it won’t work have failed themselves. Here’s the flip side… the ones that are successes. The ones that you look up to have failed several times. Probably more times than the nay sayers. What is the difference? Well, as Thomas Edison was quoted as saying when they asked him how many experiments it took to create the lightbulb,

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

Namaste,

Happy Sunday!!
Why do we self sabotage? Why do we get to a high point in our lives and suddenly have to destroy it all?

Limiting beliefs.

It could start from childhood where a parent tells you that we’re not good enough and we are at that developmental stage in our life where we believe everything. It sticks and we spend our whole life trying to prove to everyone that we are better, when deep down inside we are saying to ourselves, “I’ll never be successful”.

Or in another scenario we could be told that we aren’t good enough and later down our path we try to achieve success and a parent or other family member asks us, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re better than the rest of us?” only to drag us back down.

How do we conquer limiting beliefs?

Meditation is one way. Seeking a Shaman, a councellor, or Reiki Practioner. Try to get to the root of that limiting belief. Focus on where it started. Who said it? Why was it said? Ask your angels to guide you, to give you the answers. You might be surprised at where it originated. It might have been said to you in a time when your parent was feeling down about themselves and it had nothing to do with you or in the second scenario recognize that whomever is trying to keep you at their level has their own limiting belief about themselves and how they have been a failure in their life.

What we all need to recognize is this. Nothing anybody says is about you. It’s about themselves. <- Period. It’s a reflection of their feelings about themselves projected on to you. Nothing more.

Namaste,
David

Happy Saturday!!
I’ve been asked a lot lately about Reiki. People seem to be curious about it now more than ever. It’s becoming so mainstream that some insurances recognize it as a healing practice. I would check with your provider, sometimes its under the umbrella of Massage Therapy. My sister is a Massage Therapist. I’ll check with her about it. Below is a link to her practice.

One of my buddies last night was a little hesitant to ask me about it. He wants me to work on him, and has decided to actually go through with it. Why is he hesitant? Well, like a lot of people they think its a bit too ‘Woo Woo’ for them. That its more witchcraft than something that can be physically determined, like, massage. I always resort to this…..

Your cel phone, your wifi. How do these these things transmit through the air? We can’t see them so does that mean that they aren’t there? Of course not. We take it for granted that it works because we see the evidence in the result. I.E.; When you open your browser and the information is right there, or you make a phone call and you hear the persons voice. Reiki is no different. You can’t see the energy coming through the practitioner and transferred to you. The practitioner is a conduit. But afterwards, you feel the results. Sometimes its a permanent change, sometimes its not.

I hope to work with you soon. Here is the link for my sisters practice.
Namaste,

Rabbit Rabbit!!

It’s May 1st and its also Beltane. What is Beltane? As my friend Julie Zip…. I mean, Julie Elizabeth Day reminded us all, she gave a link to this site for more information which I will post below. Basically Beltrane is the time of the Sacred Union or the Great Marriage between the male and female energies (internal and external)/God & Goddess/Lady and the Green Man and a time of great creative energy and fertility. Many choose to begin the celebrations the eve before with bonfires, drumming, feasting and dancing. So Dance!!

Check out Julie’s blog. She is a wonderful teacher and friend.

Namaste,
David

Beltrane – The Sacred Marriage

Happy Thursday! Did you write your 3 pages yesterday? What epiphanies did you have? Any surprises? Did it scare you? Did it wake you up? Today I want you to continue writing your 3 pages. Remember… don’t think! Just write!
Peace,
David

Happy Wednesday! The month is almost over and what we’ve created over the last few months will manifest for the coming months. What have you been thinking about? Is your mind clear? Have you been thinking that this all isn’t worth it or have you been focusing on what is new and amazing in your life?

Here’s a little trick to help you create what you want.

Remember when you were a child and you would pretend? Any object within your grasp became a spaceship, or a white horse. Unlimited possibilities. Getting back to pretending isn’t as hard as you might think. As we get older we tell ourselves that its silly, or only fools daydream. My challenge for you today is to take 3 pieces of paper and write down the most insane wildest vision of who you want to be. Go ahead. Do it. You can burn the paper later if you want so nobody can read it. This is just for you. The key to this is to just write. Don’t think. Don’t let your brain get in the way. The heart knows what it wants and knows who you really are deep down inside.

Namaste,
David

Welcome to The Reiki Rocker!

Your source for Alternative Health in the Rock n’ Roll Community

My name is David Reed Watson. I’m a Vocalist, Reiki Master and a Graphic Designer. I created this community for the people that I know… musicians. We live a sporadic lifestyle. Most of us have day jobs to suppliment our music. These means long nights, early mornings, fitness, family, diet all have to be properly balanced as to avoid burn out. Even with this tightrope balance you still need some downtime. Being a Reiki Master has given me more energy and focus than I have ever had before. I wasn’t easy though. It took discipline and practice. I’ve surrounded myself with people who have this same discipline and focus. We learn from each other.

So what is this really about and who are these people that I surround myself with? We are Reiki Practitioners, Massage Therapists, Acupuncturists, Yoga Instructors, Life Coaches, and much more. We believe that source is within, not somewhere out there.

If you are a practitioner yourself and you would like to join this community, or you are looking to manage your health or lifestyle shoot me an email.
