REIKI vs. READING


As my Reiki practice continues to grow strong, I find myself more than ever, hyper-focused on the client in front of me. My intent is not just to help them feel more at ease, relaxed, and tranquil, but to assist them in unblocking any old energies that may be stuck and hindering their natural, healthy, organic energy flow. I aim to clear away old emotional baggage, balance & activate their main Chakra points, and leave them feeling refreshed and recharged. (My favorite is the white light bubble of protection....but that's another blog.) (((wink))) This past weekend, after a session with one of my Reiki clients, I could not deny the overwhelming sensation of depletion. I felt exhausted in a way that I have not felt during other sessions. After crashing into a full afternoon nap, I woke with curiosity and reached out to a couple fellow Reiki Practitioners for advice.One conversation really struck my soul and changed my perception, permanently...
Since day 1, almost a year ago, Reiki for me became another way to connect with those in need. Besides the natural energy healing work that is Reiki, I couldn't help but tune-in to other life areas beyond the space that I was working with. I often got flooded with images that would play quick in my mind's eye like a short movie clip. Other times, it could be a physical and/or emotional sensation. I can tell when my client is suffering from anxiety when my hands began to tremble and my heart races. That's not my anxiety, that's yours. The most extreme case to date was when I once placed my hands over the Sacral Chakra of a female client and was overtaken by sadness and a sensation of loss. I asked her if she had ever been through the traumatic experience of losing a baby and/or failing to conceive. She disclosed that she had a miscarriage 3 weeks prior.
My heart bled for her and the fact that was in her path, but we both bonded and of course, shared our trust with God. In the meantime, I truly believed that my "ability" was all part of Reiki. That every practitioner was seeing, feeling, and sensing just as I have been, while giving a session. This weekend, i learned that is not necessarily correct.
Apparently, that is not so much Reiki, but more of a Reading. I still struggle to understand my actual ability to read as powerfully as I am, but it is happening and I believe I am slowly getting stronger. My face-plant exhaustion was the possible outcome of me trying to do both at the exact same time; Give a powerful Reiki session, yet also tune-in. I am learning every day and still have so much more to learn. Besides gathering different crystals and stones to further assist me in my work, I must somehow figure out and master the ability to separate the two. Provide energy work healing without tuning-in. This will be interesting...

EMOTIONAL SNEEZE

Okay, so imagine you're minding your own business, out in the world. Perhaps at line in a local coffee shop, buying up some sunrise caffeine in a cup. Or maybe, you're at work, sitting quietly at your desk. Either way, with your eyes closed, imagine the calm. You're just....chillin. Okay, wait, open your eyes, there's more to read. LOL Where am I going with this? Well, there you are, in your own space, when BAM!!! Someone walks up and sneezes all over you. I  mean alllll over you! A giant sneeze. (((gasp)))) Ewwww. Grossed out? Horrified? Do you feel violated? Now, replace the "sneeze" with "complaining." This is what it feels like to be an empath on the day to day. It's social edict to greet a friend, stranger, co-worker, etc, with a smile, a quick hello, or often a "how ya doing today?" And most of the time, people can't wait tell you. In my experience, it's rarely positive and I can't help but almost always regret...

MIRROR MIRROR, NOT ON MY WALL

Imagine you are the caretaker of a toddler. A toddler who in a fit of rage, throws themselves down on the floor, acting out in complete tantrum mode. Would you join this tiny human for you're own fist-to-floor pounding and excessive screaming? No. I mean, I am sure there are moments you may feel like mirroring that behavior, but surely, you would not. Our "grown-up" approach should be no different when handling those around us, regardless of age . It is important to pay close attention to self and the energy vortex that surrounds you. Dramatic? Let me break it down.... Have you ever caught yourself being unusually gossipy around those that love to share secrets? Or perhaps, you found yourself feeling a little (as they say in the USMC) "salty," when around someone who tends to hold onto anger or frustrations? This is you getting sucked into someone else's energy vortex. Awareness is key! If you catch yourself acting out someone else's emotions, simpl...
