Choosing Reiki

September 17, 2018 by rosewillow-team Leave a Comment

 

 

Recently someone asked me, “Why did you choose Reiki?”

I felt a bit put on the spot and answered with a short and quick response, which I can’t really remember. Probably a cliche about how Reiki chose me. Ha.

After giving it some thought, here is my answer. To those who ask, and for those who don’t know.

It’s like any other kind of deep love, the kind that quite literally makes you stop and wonder how you’ve gone on so long before without it.

Reiki has been a part of my healing journey, it has aided my own awareness into my personal body and the ability to finely tune my awareness and sensitivity to others. Along with other treatments, Reiki guided me through my recovery from a lung cancer diagnosis in 2012, and a longer journey of recovery for my greater spirit. The impact of the diagnosis has forever gifted me with the understanding of the preciousness of freedom in our youth, and how fragile our strong healthy bodies can be. The impact did not just leave a large physical scar which is an everyday reminder, but my mental health has shifted and I’ve been struggling with anxiety since. Reiki has assisted me in stepping into my personal power through self  healing, and given me the skills of understanding energy and the importance of daily release.

Anxiety was something I’d heard about my whole life but hadn’t personally dealt with until after my surgery, in which I had 60% of my right lung removed. I remained in the hospital for 18 long days afterward. Ironically the longer I have been in remission the greater my anxiety has grown, and the more noticeable it has become. Over this past summer I started having panic attacks for the first time, which were especially hard for me because I had no control over them. I will admit that I felt quite blocked, and even doing Reiki for myself felt like too much at the time. I spent most of my time in the Okanagan this summer, and nearing the end of July within a matter of days the city was swallowed by a thick smoke that made it especially hard for me to breathe. With this came another trigger of anxiety around breathing.  A once thoughtless movement for me, now at times becomes all I can think about. I started doing a blend of treatments, hypnotherapy, counselling, and receiving Reiki from another practitioner. This combination helped me address and move through my anxiety, and in turn got me back to a place where I was able to give Reiki to myself and others with ease again.

I’ve hesitated in writing this down for so long, stuck in the fear of feeling weak, or unable to take care of myself when I care for so many. I don’t often show this side of myself, the side that is hurting, and healing. I know that for most people we do this to protect those around us, or as a mechanism for just ‘getting through’ because we have to or we should. However, there is something so powerful in saying a hello to yourself when you are feeling lost, afraid, or anxious. And the empowerment from saying that out loud to someone is even greater. I recognize that we “get to” move through these challenges, or healing opportunities. Not that we have to, or should. We get to. We get to experience our healing, these moments where our lessons are the greatest. And through that we find our peace, our harmony, and that safe place where we can be at ease. The place where we find grace in all our moments.

 

With Love,

5 Reasons I Love Reiki

May 26, 2018 by rosewillow-team Leave a Comment

 

  1. Reiki is my personal tool to a clear understanding of what’s happening in my body. It is all too easy to ignore our bodies when they are relaying messages to us. Our bodies are highly intelligent and with every symptom and feeling there can be revealing insight, (if we pay attention). When I began using Reiki as a part of my personal healing practice I became more aware of the reasons I would feel so heavy at the end of some of my days. As a sensitive person, it’s quite common to carry energies from others without realizing it. Reiki has been beneficial for me to consistently ‘tune up’ my energy field and feel clear and balanced.

 

  1. Reiki helps me go to sleep- and stay asleep! For years I had a very inconsistent sleep schedule, often staying up very late or not sleeping through the night, which would require me to sleep during the day. As much as I do enjoy a good nap, I enjoy sleeping throughout the night without waking even more! For the past couple years, I’ve been experimenting with Reiki as a way of going to sleep at night. I notice anxiety quite often comes creeping up on me at night, usually in the form of excessive thoughts that won’t seem to subside. Before bed I’ll do 10-15 minutes of Reiki and instantly I feel a calmness that helps soothe me into a sleepy state. I also notice that when I do Reiki before bed, I wake up fewer times in the night and typically can sleep right through until my alarm (or my cat) wakes me up!

 

  1. Reiki has been treating my anxiety. In the past year I’ve been experiencing anxiety in a way that has been challenging at times, for me to work with on my own. Reiki has been a crucial little helper for me that I can call on at any time of day or night. For those who have experienced a Reiki treatment, you’ll know the gentle waves of calmness that come from a session. This gentle energy is exactly what I need (and I feel everyone needs) to help move through anxiety and stress that comes up in our day to day.

 

  1. Reiki promotes balance and harmony. Reiki is an empowering tool for balancing and grounding your energy. Anytime I’m noticing I’m feeling a bit ‘off’, I know it’s time to do some energy healing. Reiki works by clearing through your energy centers and meridians, releasing what’s ready to be let go of, and opening space for the new. Needless to say, after every treatment I feel refreshed and lighter than before.

 

  1. Reiki is SO wonderful to share with others. Imagine a rainbow washing down on you like a bucket of water, and you can feel the cleansing effects of its gentle flow. That’s what giving a Reiki treatment feels like for me – for real! One of the most rewarding parts about my practice is helping others maintain a healthy body and spirt. Connecting with my clients and sharing the healing space of Reiki has been a fulfilling and joyful experience for me.

 

With Love, Rose
