Donating your time or money to organizations that are helping others is a worthwhile thing to do. It helps those in need and also creates a wonderful feeling in your heart. When you pass on a portion of the value that has come into your life, you open the door even wider for you to receive greater blessings in your life — which in turn allows you to help others even more. This is a wonderful process that is amazing to experience.
If you're feeling down or if your financial situation isn't what you'd like it to be, I suggest making a donation to a group that shares your values even if it's a small amount. You'll be surprised at how good this will make you feel and how doing this opens doors in your own life.
It is especially important to help now as donations are down since the recession started and those in need will really benefit by your generosity.
Because we love the earth and all the people in it, Vision Publications and the ICRT make regular donations to other non-Reiki groups. We donate 10% of our pre-tax dollars to environmentally and socially responsible organizations. We are happy to be able to help the world be a better place and to do our part to diminish suffering. Our goal is to create the world as a place where love is the guiding principle.
We thank you for your orders and the classes you are taking through us. In addition to the value you receive from the use of our products and classes, your purchases make these donations possible. Perhaps you'll be inspired to donate to them too.
Your purchases are supporting Women for Women , an organization that is helping women in foreign countries who have been the victims of war and violence create a better life for themselves. As women’s lives improve they are better able to help their children and care for the family, so everyone wins!

Sincerely,
