When we are present we can feel peace with what is, we can let go of what has happened in the past and thinking of what may be in the future. In a Reiki session the healing energy of Reiki allows the mind to slow down and begin to calm. When this happens the body starts to feel safe being more in the present moment. We can relax through Reiki healing energy to have more acceptance of what is in the moment.
Awhile back I had gone through a difficult breakup. My head was spinning as I had just moved to a new location to start my life all over again. I was anything but present. I was in emotional pain from the break up running through past scenarios of all the reasons why this happened and fearful of the unknown future. I was dreading my life and grieving the past. I had a week free between moves and just collapsed in my bed. I started to do Reiki on myself.
The first day I ate little and did Reiki for about an hour and noticed a tree outside my window. The next day I again did Reiki to help sooth my mind and realized there were birds visiting the tree in the afternoon. I was slowly starting to be present to what was around me. The next day when I did Reiki for myself, I could feel my body awareness more. When I looked out the window I noticed there was wind moving the leaves on the tree. I saw the leaves as dancing with each other through the wind. My heart felt lighter. On the fourth day of surrendering to my feelings, no more fighting them, I came to more acceptance of my situation and grief.
I noticed that doing Reiki for myself and focusing on the tree helped me feel more centered and less overwhelmed by my feelings. I continued watching the tree outside my window and chose one leaf to focus on. I held my attention on this one little leaf throughout the day, seeing all the details of the veins within the leaf. How the colors of green changed to more yellow at the edges. I thought of nothing else but this one leaf feeling the aliveness of the trees essence within the leaf. By the end of the fifth day I felt at peace with an authentic connection to this tree that felt like my friend. It was a beautiful healing through nature and Reiki for my soul. I had finally come back home to my center. My healing journey continued, but I had come back to myself to be able to better process my life and all the changes moving forward one day at a time.
Reiki helps all of our parts come together. Our mind, body, emotions, and highest self to create a place where I believe we are most powerful. We become centered within our true self. During my Reiki sessions I support everyone through Reiki healing to have the opportunity to access this place of self discovery and presence. If you would like to experience learning how to be more present in your life, I can share some breath meditations and guided visualizations with Reiki healing as a beautiful support to begin the journey of being more present in your life. Being present can be a challenge, but it is a practice where I also help anyone interested begin their own daily spiritual practice to do at home that works for each person.
