My Reiki Journey

THE CALL TO BECOME A REIKI MASTER TEACHER.

I was working in media, for a newspaper as an on-going freelancer. The feeling of unease grew and grew within me, so strongly that I couldn’t ignore it. I’d go to Hype Park in my lunch hour and crave freedom from the office and knew I was being pulled very strongly to find something new. I consider this an “awakening” time. I couldn’t focus like I wanted to, on my work, I was so distracted. It wasn’t comfortable, but it made me “brain-shower” ideas for where my life needed to go next. It lead me to sound healing, meditation, Lomilomi, Clinical Hypnotherapy & I had the idea that I could become a Master Reiki healer. I felt so trapped at the time, by myself, and societal demands, and I didn’t know what to do with myself. I didn’t know where to start. I knew I had to expand. I thought, maybe I can change career and work with animals, or do a personal trainer qualification. Anything to help others and live a healthier, more fulfilling life. I wrote about my perfect day, and started to focus on what I wanted more of in my life. I needed to be more of a Therapist. I did not know at the time that it was possible to achieve ALL my “ideas” … and MORE!

SOUL-SEARCHING

I went into very deep meditations at the time whenever I could … aided by whatever I could find on YouTube to help me. One day I swear I lost a few hours and was outrageously late for a dinner party. And through this listening deeply, I found many answers. I did self-initiated Akashic Records meditations/searches and found many insights. I felt I desperately needed guidance. I tried pendulums, and enquired with my guides & guardians. I listened very deeply. I was prepared to put in the time and to work on myself. I had ancestral patterns that needed healing from bloodlines and wanted the means to heal old patterns that didn’t serve me. Insights, like, we are here, to be happy – to to struggle. But when we do and we overcome this, we can help others see the best ways over their obstacles. This became a great motivator. I had been deeply depressed on occasion in my past, even aged 11 to 13, and didn’t yet have the tools to navigate through by myself. Beyond those darkest depths, I now know there is more light, more help, more than ever, that means – so much healing potential.

From one Akashic Records meditation, I found that my best friend Lucy, also a lightworker yet in a different field (and also an excellent calligraphist) – is here to guide me through my pages. Is here to light the way for me and help me to “write my book”. As one of my two best friends, she is a true soulmate. She pointed out to me, whilst I was soul-searching, that although I was very very confused about what I wanted to do next, I could in fact do all of these things!! And she was right. I was opening up to my potential and examining the possibilities, which felt uncomfortable and frustrating, but it was the beginning of me becoming the person I am here to be. I wanted it all immediately!! yet couldn’t see my way though. I wanted to be a therapist NOW!! All the time being shown “1, 2, 3” … “4, 5, 6” numbers etc which I take as guidance; that steps need to happen one at a time. Patience truly is what I am here to learn.

I didn’t become a personal trainer, but I do keep fit. I don’t work with dogs, but I love them more than ever. And I did find a way to follow my heart more and be more of a practicing therapist – with Clinical Hypnotherapy, Lomilomi & Reiki studies and qualifications. I found a few places I could practice as a therapist – ad-hoc to begin with, then contracted, with a wonderful network of fellow Therapists at The Light Centre … and for this I am truly grateful. Once it seemed like such an impossible task – to change and to grow. Building a website felt impossible. As impossible as I thought driving would be as a child. But I did it! I asked for help when I needed it and these things happened. SO, BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU WISH FOR!!!

Every now and again I am privileged to get a call asking for help and thankfully I’m in a position to offer my helping hands 🙏🏽
