A dear friend of mine who had risen like a phoenix from very challenging
personal circumstances invited me to join her in taking the Reiki Level
One course. It just so happened that it fell a mere two days after I
went on my medical leave. Coincidence? Divine Intervention? I
was really at my lowest point and sitting in a room healing and being
healed sounded very daunting to me. I had nothing but fumes left
and couldn’t imagine how I could get through eight hours of lessons
without crying frequently and crumbling up into shards in the corner
of the room. How could I muster up enough strength to share myself
with a room full of strangers.
I urged myself to go; without knowing what path I would take and
it was the perfect choice. The first level of Reiki focuses on balancing
your own spiritual energies and also how to protect yourself, emphatically
from negative energy.
It was obvious to my colleagues that I was depleted and I spoke not
why or how-they knew not to ask. I was unable to even share as I
knew I would break out in tears-baring my soul to all.
The reiki master and I worked as partners and when she was
done-she looked straight into my eyes after the treatment and
said-“Oh Em; your heart chakra is broken and weak.” I was not
surprised, not at all. This awareness allowed me to focus my reiki
treatments on the heart chakra; and now it is months later and
I am still feeling I need to focus much of my energy there.
If all of your chakras are not balanced you will notice a feeling
of imbalance and intuitively you will have an awareness of where.
Today’s focus is on raising awareness and educating
ourselves on the function of the heart chakra-for the next several
days we will become introduced to each of the chakras.
