Cautiously entered as a skeptic, came away forever changed.
Confession, when I first heard the term "Reiki Energy" I thought it was some sort of radical new age concept. The name sounded exotic and possibly fabricated. I had a difficult time believing it had any validity or foundation of truth. My oh my, how I was mistaken! From personal healing experiences and from training to be a Reiki Master Practitioner, I have learned the powerful roots of this ancient energetic healing art.
Welcome to Energy Healing
I had just finished a beautiful community forest bathing experience and was heading back to my car to go home. Everyone was reveling in their experience and chatting amongst one another. A woman from the group caught up with me and eagerly began chatting with me about my energy field and how she could see my light. To be honest, I was taken aback with her ecstatic zeal and bold move to openly chat about such a taboo subject, but I was feeling a high from my forest bathing experience and wanted to keep the good energy flowing, so I cautiously entertained her conversation to see where it would lead. She shared with me that she was a Reiki Healer and could see that I had a lot of energy to release. I was intrigued to say the least, but was also extremely skeptical. These were uncharted topics of conversation for me at this point in my life, I couldn't possibly take her seriously. And yet, at the same time, there was a hidden well of deep knowing within me that there was some truth here. I wanted to learn more.
I proceeded with much skepticism
Weeks passed and I eventually reached out this woman and agreed to do a Healing Hike with her. I considered this to be a relatively risk free exploration of whatever this Reiki thing was anyway. We met in the early dawn hours as the sun was just beginning to rise, and slowly meandered up a forested hill of a local park. She listened intently to my spiritual background and what I was dealing with currently in my life. At times she took deep breaths and loudly exhaled away from me. It was a little strange and I didn't know what to make of it, but I carried on. I was having a difficult time in my marriage at the time, and felt like it was coming to a dead end. I had come to terms with this and sort of told her all of this as matter of fact. When she had heard enough, she had me sit on a bench with her. Because it was early, there was nobody else on the trail, just the song of cheerful birds and coo of mourning doves filled the air.
She rested her hand on my shoulder and guided me through a healing meditation with my marriage. For the sake of keeping this post short, I will not go into all the details of the meditation, but it did involve a component where I released myself from any energetic cords between my husband and I. This is called 'cord cutting,' a concept I had never heard of at this point in my life. This cord cutting was not to sever our relationship, but to restore my own energy and light back to myself. I did not know any of this at the time, and was sort of rolling my eyes in skepticism that this little guided meditation would do anything for me, but I decided to just go with it. I began to imagine any cords that bound me to my husband, and boy I was surprised with how many cords popped up in my mind! I saw what felt like hundreds of pastel colored cords coming from all parts of my body, mostly my abdomen and back, some from my head all directly connecting me to my husband.
Almost Immediately I began to weep
She then gently asked me to begin cutting off these cords using whichever tool came to me first. As soon as I began imagining myself cutting away these cords that bounded me to my husband, tears immediately began to stream down my cheeks. I couldn't even begin to understand what was happening. I continued imagining myself cutting away these cords and began sobbing as more tears just flowed out of me. Where was this all coming from? It didn't make any sense, and yet I felt such an immense release. I had never realized how much energetic weight I was carrying in these 'imagined' cords. It honestly felt so incredibly peaceful, and warm, and healing, that I just let the tears flow. A couple hikers did end up crossing our path during this time but I could have cared less. I wiped the tears off my cheeks and rubbed my eyes, the whole while her hand gently laid on my shoulder.. I finally caught my breath enough and blurted out, "What was that?!"
She gently smiled and said "Welcome to Energy Healing."
And so my journey to energy healing began
There was still so much for me to learn and understand about Energy Healing, and I was still quite skeptical for some time following, but from that point on, my life began to change immensely. Needless to say, my marriage continues to grow and evolve since that time, and I have found immense peace, purpose, and joy from that powerful first experience with Reiki Energy Healing.
I plan to share more about my personal stories and the powerful history and practice of Reiki Energy Healing. This is just one small example of how Reiki Energy Healing can be administered. If you find this story resonates with you, please consider contacting me for a Virtual Reiki Energy Healing session or Healing Hike. I would be immensely honored to be part of your own healing journey.
