My reiki journey stated a little over a year ago. I was personally struggling with mental health issues as well as trying to help my daughter through her own. I was feeling hopeless knowing I had worked for years on and off with different therapist, tried many different medications but still couldn’t seem to overcome. How could I help my daughter though something that I couldn’t help myself with? My daughter (and husband) loves rocks and crystals, in an attempt to connect with her, I signed us both up for a level 1 reiki course. I didn’t know what it was, but I knew it was in the spiritual realm with crystal healing. Parenting fail, she hated it, but I loved it and had a small spark of hope that this might help! I still have depression, I still talk with a professional therapist at times, I still take medication – but implementing reiki (performing and receiving) has helped in ways that those have not. I have hope, I am sleeping better, I feel more in tune with myself and my body, I can handle stress better, overall, I honestly just feel happier! There’s a saying, “Reiki finds you when you need it and it gives you what you need!” Reiki is energy healing that brings you back to the real you: balanced, recharged, and refreshed. Perhaps, you have a lot of emotional baggage. Perhaps you need help with physical pain. Or maybe you are grieving deeply. Maybe you’re in a big transition and need direction. Or you could be waking up spiritually and want to deepen your practice and connection. Maybe nothing is wrong, but you are into holistic healing and want to tap into your full potential Regardless of where you’re at Reiki healing will work for you. Often, we know what we need to do, but fail to do it. If your chakras are blocked or worse: closed, you can get stuck in a neurotic loop, where the energy literally is stuck, and you are in a perpetual pattern you can never seem to transcend. In my sessions I love to incorporate crystals, intentions, and affirmations to help give you what you need. How Does Reiki Energy Heal? Everything in this universe is energy. Everything you see has molecules vibrating at different frequency to create matter. Our bodies are energy. The layers of your aura have layers known as the etheric, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. We also have energy centers within us called chakras that can be open, closed or blocked. Our chakras and energy bodies have been energetically pre-programmed since the womb, and throughout life. Traumas, even ones we may call insignificant, are stored in our cells. Science calls this bio-energetics. Reiki Energy heals at a cellular level. What is Reiki? Reiki comes from Japan, and it’s mostly known to be spread by the founder Mikao Usui and brought to the West by Mrs. Hawayo Takata. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese kanjis. Rei which is “Universal life force” and ki for energy”. This universal life force is the highest vibration and frequency, that comes from the universe or “source”. Although there are other healing modalities out there, Reiki is a healing energy that works with the highest frequency healing energies. A Reiki treatment or class will ground these healing energies into your physical bodies and removes toxins that create imbalance. Reiki aligns your mind, body, and spirit. Furthermore: it clears your emotional garbage! The memory will remain, but the hurt and charge can be released. Often if ignored our emotional issues have a way of manifesting physical pain. You can release these energies naturally and heal your past.
