Self
Healing With Reiki
by Elizabeth Harley
I hear countless stories from people about
how Reiki has changed their lives. Each time I feel deep gratitude for
this incredible, boundless energy so easily accessible to us all. Work
situations change, relationships become more rewarding and fulfilling.
Sometimes endings make way for new beginnings.
It is not always easy but it is always in
the upward flow of aligning us with our Higher Selves and enabling us to
fulfill more of our unrealized potential. The healing process doesn’t
stop with the first degree attunement. Nor the second. Nor Mastership! It
continues until we become fully realized and enlightened beings.
So the next time you wonder what’s
“wrong” with you, look within. Notice what you are actually feeling.
Give it space! Acknowledge it. Accept it. Allow it to just be! In the act
of acceptance and acknowledgement we begin to learn, grow and therefore
transform the way we feel.
The first key is awareness, the second is
acceptance.
In the words of Gaston St. Pierre:
1. Notice the facts.
2. Acknowledge their presence.
3. Then let them be!
It is through an awareness of how we really
are (not how we think we “should” be) and an open heart chakra that we
release and transform withheld emotion and outmoded beliefs. It is through
healing ourselves that we heal the world. It never works the other way
round!
