Giggling Soul Reiki

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.

The desire to know your own soul will desolve all other desires.

“TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”
