How Reiki affects my life: Part II
In sharing about the affects of Reiki I endeavour to be open about my journey as well as being dedicated to facilitating healing in others. Hence the name, Heal with Hay.
The most powerful places of healing and transformation for me in the last cycle (ages 28-35) have been through opening up deeper into my spirituality and sexuality. Our sexuality is deeply connected to our feminine (our sensual, emotional, intuitive side), the more we can open into our feminine the more our sexuality will likely come alive too.
The affect of Reiki in these arenas was an initial energetic opening and readiness of these parts of me to be heard, expressed and developed. Reiki continues to help me see and heal many of these patterns and memories. It is the tool I use to always come home to myself amongst the chaos of change.
I have come to believe that spirituality is, “how we open to the flow of love”, it doesn’t matter how you do it, it is this process of opening that deems it to be a spiritual experience. Honing these connections to our Self, our soul or the universe etc is where our highest healing potential can lie along with our capacity for love, pleasure and feeling successfully fulfilled on our path.
When a new/old part of ourselves is brought into conscious awareness it reestablishes and sheds light on many past memories. We can also experience a fresh understanding of ourselves, as our body begins to feel safe we see ourselves fully in a new light. Memories from the past are healed and our minds plans for the future are re-aligned in this new light of awakening.
Often our sexuality is missed when we start our healing journey only for it to later be the key piece. Our sexuality is the core of our being, it is our life force energy, creativity, radiance and power. To have this part of ourselves suppressed will always result in blocked energy causing unwanted symptoms and often an inability to access our true essence and energy. It can be scary and liberating to tap into what feels like the other half of ourselves, especially when there are layers that need healing in order to feel connected to your sexual power again.
When suppressing ourselves unconsciously is the norm for so long it takes conscious effort and energy to create safety to be authentic and heal. It’s so easy to be sucked back into an old way of being and forget about the powerful and true parts that exist outside of the dominant roles and conditioning society has given us.
I try to remember that healing is not a linear process, it spirals through your being in harmony with the universe. I know I am always connected to my higher self when using Reiki and therein lies its power. I allow myself to trust this process still.
