REIKI

I KNOW:  That I am in love with Reiki. 

Reiki healing is a form of energy work in which the practitioner lays hands on the recipient, bringing healing energy to different parts of the body, mind, and spirit in order to remove blockages, open channels and return people to a general state of health and well-being.

I have always had an interest in the healing arts, in the way that I love to get healed. I love acupuncture, and Reiki, and homeopathy, zero-balancing and cranial sacral among others. I love learning about new ways to get healed and passing them on to other peeps in need of healing. Healers always told me things like, "you will be a healer some day" and "someday crystals will find you" and I never believed them. I never even believed, wholeheartedly, and without any skepticism, in all of the healing treatments that I was having done, until now.

In January of 2012 I went to see a psychic medium named Gemma Deller and my life changed. I had been in a state of confusion and didn't know which direction to go. My life was spinning around me. Too many things were happening and not happening to me and I couldn't decide where to set myself up or where to put my energy. Gemma explained to me that I was going in the right direction already. She gave me pointers on how to stream line, and different signs to look for but mostly not to worry. She said, I needed to enjoy the journey and stop trying to get "there." She connected with my dead father and the universe, and showed me how I can do the same for myself every day. She told me pages and pages of amazing things that have all come true.

After I went to see her, I wanted to tell all of my homies all about it because I was pumped up with excitement, tears, and a new vision of my future. I met up with my friend Jessica who was with her friend Malin and I was so annoyed because I wanted Jessica all to myself so I could talk about myself and my new direction(s)! But I was too excited and I met her and her friend Malin Landaeus and just talked about myself anyway. It turned out that Malin is a Reiki Master and she and I clicked. At one point shee started telling me about her Reiki class that was coming up. I told her that I was interested in taking it, but in the back of my mind when I said that I thought "it's never going to really happen" like most things in a busy freelance single moms life. But it did happen.


For the next two weeks Malin did not let me off the hook. She made sure that I could take the class by working around my schedule, offering me a payment plan and insisting that I could/ should do it. A few weeks later Malin told me that the night we met she didn't want to meet me either. She also just wanted to talk to Jessica. Funny how the Universe works. 


I am so eternally happy that I did meet her though for a million reasons. I will tell you a few and then I will stop gushing about my new found love for Reiki.
1) I believe in almost everything now. My skepticism is fading.
2) I can actually, literally, feel healing energy
3) I am a thousand times more "in my body" than I can ever remember being.
September of last year I went to a spa with my mother in Mexico. I had just finished 3 years of non stop work and it was her present to me to relax and get back to myself. It was so amazing to try all of the classes and eat healthy food and have massages and be in such a special place and also spend quality time with my mother. I remember saying to her while we were there, "Mom, I wish I had something like this that I could give to people. I wish I had a talent or a trade that was like a gift and it would help people." I have it now. It's Reiki.


I also made a vision board last year and the first line of it is 
"This is the Year. The Perfect balance of Serenity, Service, and style." I remember putting it up there and saying to my friends who were at the vision board get-together that I wanted to figure out a service that I could give... Now I have that. It's Reiki.


I can also heal myself with Reiki. Every day I give myself some. I give it to my friends, to my family, to strangers. My son Hugo does his own version that he calls "Spritual Video Games." 
I actually feel it working. I feel those blocks leaving me. I feel my connection to everyone and everything, and I believe in it. 
So now I am getting closer to what I want. I am going to say what that is because I believe in it now and that it, and everything else is possible.
I want to have a full,fun money making career for a while in styling. I am going to work hard and make great money and get great new clients and keep the same old ones too.  At the same time I am going to keep doing Reiki and practicing it and learning it along with other healing arts. I am going to gather a strong client base of people to style who are interested in furthering themselves, people who want to go deeper and also work on themselves. I can style them and give them Reiki.

And at the same time I am going to work on my TV show, but that is another blog post for another time...
For now I feel a lot of hope for the future. I guess that is what happens when you fall in love.
