I wanted to quiet all the chatter in my mind (not only the negative voices), so I learned meditation. For some months, I practiced daily yoga meditation of the kind that leads you to a restful place inside yourself – I found a sense of refreshment whenever I practiced it. But in day to day life, the inner junk still cropped up, and the emotional walls I unconsciously used to defend myself were always there.
Not too long ago I broke my arm when I fell from the ladder and while mending I decided to take a course and in Reiki. It’s a spiritual path and a method for developing one’s healing abilities. Consciously, I did this for my arm, but it resulted in several other benefits: The Reiki itself immediately and unexpectedly cleared away a huge amount of those emotional traces that had remained inside me since my childhood. It got rid of the old muddy background of sadness, frustration, and fear that I had never been able to completely remove.
So then, as of the time of my reiki attunement, the pain/fear just dissolved. My overall mood then improved and my sense of intimacy with nature (birds, dogs, horses – you name it) markedly increased. And also, at least twice as many people as before acted like they really liked me. Even the flowers in the garden have looked radiantly gorgeous!
I do everything with more confidence. Everything feels clearer inside. Thanks Marie too.
