Giggling Soul Reiki

It’s ironic but when your nervous system has been in fight or flight for so long it’s actually very scary to relax. Peace is something you want but you’re apprehensive to allow it. You crave quiet but constantly surround yourself with activity and noise. The thought of sitting silently with yourself is very uncomfortable. The nervous system was never meant to be switched to “on” all the time, and when you first begin to allow it to turn off, it’s going to be uncomfortable. What happens on the other side of that discomfort? Rest digest repair. The body resets. Healing begins.

We often get hit with an illness, loss, or betrayal before we start asking ourselves the big questions. Why am I here? What’s my purpose? Whats it all for? I’m reminded of the story of the snail. As he grows his shell protects him. He is comfortable and happy. But as time goes on his squishy little body gets pressed up against the very thing that keeps him safe. He is faced with the fear of dropping his shell and being vulnerable to the birds above. Or staying and being crushed by his own protection. This is the point of growth that is very uncomfortable. Terrifying. Going forward is scary but so is staying where you are. Drop the shell. It’s what we were designed to do. Trust in the unknown. That’s where your growth is. 🐌

Sometimes when I sit in energy work I assume I’m going inward and will get hit with more to work through. To my humbling surprise I come out with a renewed sense of peace and contentment in just being. Amazing things happen when we just surrender. I am reminded today that I really like the feeling of peace. It feels pretty good. 🕊️

Healing is hot right now. Shadow work, trauma therapy, diving right into your darkness and fears. I see more and more people that come for sessions and classes that are willing to go there. Willing to have these transformational experiences. The one thing and probably the most important one is the return to simple joys and stillness. A reminder of why you’re crawling through the trenches. And those moments seam insignificant but that’s when the integration happens. That’s when true healing happens. When you start to see a pattern of the return to stillness and peace. So don’t forget to watch a bee buzz around on a flower because that’s why you’re doing this hard work. To be present in this time you have here.

I read an article about how meditation can bring up unwanted side effects such as anxiety, panic, and past stored trauma. It occurred to me that perhaps the goal of meditation isn’t peace. At least not at first. Perhaps meditation is about truth. Sometimes the truth isn’t peaceful. Sometimes the truth is very painful. But peace without truth is temporary. Lasting peace requires truth. Even if it’s uncomfortable. So if you have fear come up about meditating, know that it’s just buried truths within. And once you acknowledge them peace arises.

Observations from the table:
How does spirituality help with trauma or mental illness? The connection to something bigger than ourselves allows us to release our suffering to a greater intelligence. This creates ease in the nervous system. When the nervous system is at ease clear thinking returns.

Observations from the table:
Trauma= something that we can’t reason. Can’t make sense of. We’ve been trying to use the mind to reason our way through trauma. How can you use a tool to reason something unreasonable? Healing happens at a much higher level. Spiritual healing is taking account of all parts of ourselves and rather than reasoning our way through with the mind, we are held by something much greater. People will often say, I don’t know what happened but something just switched. I don’t understand it but this trauma doesn’t have a hold of me anymore. Because when you have something unfathomable happen, you need something unfathomable to battle it.

Observations from the table:
Most people that come for Reiki aren’t even aware of what’s been suppressed. Others know but think” why dig up old bones” so do you need to feel it to heal it? Yes. Until you realize you’re just digging up old bones. At which point the electrical charge of that emotion is gone and now you can move forward without the lingering energy.
