HEY KELLY, HOW DID YOU GET STARTED AS A CERTIFIED REIKI PRACTIITIONER…
AND WHY?
Well, this is quite a story and it starts with my son.
My son was very young and started telling me stories about his dreams. Vivid stories for a child his age. About things he’d never been exposed to. Things no one sees. And I started thinking, where is this little boy getting this information from? Over and over, I contemplated it. He would wake up and speak of angels and Heaven and how beautiful it is there!
This is a boy less than 5 years old, who has never been to church or been exposed to religion but was telling precise stories about all of the above! Things he’s never heard of before, with great specificity. Once or twice, okay. I can justify that. But this was happening every morning when we woke up and was now a regular occurrence in our house.
I was astonished, confused, and honestly amazed, but had no clue who to talk to about this situation without looking like I was some crazy lady!
ENTER NANCY COMPTON.
That’s when I found Nancy Compton, a medium, tarot reader, and Master Reiki Healer. I called and told her what was going on. She was the most kind spirit and invited my son and myself and my mother to her shop after hours (my son had severe social anxiety at this point) so it was just her and my family present.
He sat and told her all about his dreams and the stories within them.
My only question I asked Nancy was “whether or not what my son was saying aligned with what the Bible stated?”
She looked me dead in my eyes, with a tear coming from hers, and said “he’s dead on!”
My mouth dropped open in awe. How could this small being know so much about something he’s never been told, I thought.
And then Nancy told my mother and I, “that we don’t yet realize just how special this little boy it.”
Nancy had the sweetest soul I’d ever come into contact with. I then explained that my son was also going through some medical issues. Lots of trips to Children’s in Pittsburg, lots of ER trips, lots of pain, and how it hurts as a mother to see your child in pain.
She asks me “what do you do when a child gets hurt in front of you?”
I replied “well is reach for them, or put my hand on it or give it a kiss! It’s my natural instinct.”
You know that gut feeling?
The one is the bottom of your stomach?
I’ve always had it.
I always felt it.
Nancy explained that a very very very long time ago, everyone had access to Reiki energy. And over the years it became a lost healing modality. Most aren’t aware of it because it’s knowledge that can only be acquired in person and by a Reiki Master who leads you through sacred ceremonies that allow you body to become a vessel for the Reiki energy and can be transferred via light touch aka laying hands. Reiki is a tradition passed on orally from teacher to student and it is highly frowned upon to let the public have access to the knowledge and sacred symbols practitioners use.
I sat and thought about how helpful this could be for my child and my entire family. I was immediately drawn in and wanted to learn everything I could and booked my Reiki 1 class. This is what brought me to Nancy, and Reiki healing, the love of helping others (and my own medical issues.)
ENTER MY REIKI TRAINING.
Which leads me to the story about how I discovered my own intuition and learned to never doubt my healings! As my favorite quotes says "What a long, strange, trip its been!" 'Truckin' -The Grateful Dead
Wise, wise words from the great Nancy Compton of The Enchanted Moon... "Do not doubt your healing! Do not doubt your healing!" and "If you feel something or and its in the clients best interest and appropriate, say something!" If you say nothing, it helps no one.
My Reiki 1 class was my first real experience dealing with learning how to trust my intuition. There were 4 students in my Reiki 1 class. We each took turns who lead the session, who followed, and who was on the table.
In my lineage, working with other practitioners in Group Healings, was how we were taught. And we were taught that if we could successfully work in a Group Healing, we could successfully run our own sessions with confidence. One by of my classmates was on the table while the other 3 of us worked on them at one time. This is called a Group Healing and how Reiki used to be practiced and taught, with multiple practitioners, working on one client. Mastering Group Healings taught us how to have the confidence to run our own sessions, and how to work in a group with other practitioners. We learned how you move... When you move your hands… How you change positions... And most importantly, how to work in harmony with each other.
We were taught how to follow the lead practitioner (who begins at the head of the client) and how to rotate and change positions with one another. If you began at the head, you end at the head, after each practitioner has been in each position, and back to where they started the session, the lead practitioner would then close the session and slowly bring back the client. Once the client was sitting up and offered water, post session discussions would begin.
When it was my time to lead the group healing session, some information came to my mind out of where. I knew nothing about this person and had just met her that day. But something told me that I needed to spend extra time on her neck. And when I got to her left ankle, again, I get the same feeling and thoughts!
At this point, I'm thinking to myself, "Where did I get the idea that something felt different, when it came to those two spots?"...
The energy I felt was very different in the positions covering her neck, and again, different but still similar, coming from her ankle. I could not get these thoughts and feelings to leave my mind, still wondering, why I even thought that. After all, I just met this person. I certainly didn't want her to think I was crazy! I had no basis for these ideas/knowledge, and didn't want her to think I was just talking out of my ass, or just crazy!
I closed the session and slowly helped my client up. Then I got the urge to ask if she had headaches? I still don't know why I asked her that to this day. And believe me, it took some convincing for me to even think of divulging this information that came from seemingly nowhere.
Anyways, I finally convinced myself to just say what came to my mind. Regardless of how crazy I thought I sounded, or felt, I explained to Lily what I felt. I was shocked when afterwards she told me she suffered from Chronic Migraines.
In my mind, Im starting to feel confident and both freaked out at the same time! "Why did that information come to me?" And, "how in the hell did I call that?," kept running through my mind as I stood there freaking myself out, trying to remind myself to "Trust my healing!," and "To stop doubting myself!"...Those wise wise words were really coming into play!... And I couldn't believe it!
Having gained some courage, I asked Lily "If she had any issues with her left ankle?" She paused for a moment then answered "Yes, I actually had surgery on that ankle and still experience quite a bit of pain from it!"
I swear my whole world stopped spinning for a moment; I just stood there, in awe, of myself and what had just happened. "How in the f'ing world did I know this s**t?," I thought to myself.
ENTER MY SMALL BUSINESS, Love & Light Touch by Kelly Ambrovcik.
I fell in love with art and studied my ass off. After a few months I decided that I didn’t want to just help myself and my family and really started to think that this could be a feasible way to provide for my son. I turned my bedroom into my Reiki Studio. Built my brand and my business page and opened Love & Light Touch by Kelly Ambrovcik. I didn’t have to leave my home anymore to make money. It gave me more time with my family. Allowed me to homeschool my son. And share a healing modality most in the Johnstown area we not aware of.
It was perfect! And allowed me and my son to lead the lives we wanted to.
To this day, when I work on clients, Im guided by intuition. And most times, Im "right," yet I havent the slightest clue how or why. Please don't think I'm boasting or full of myself when I say this. With time I've come to realize that there is a reason I sense these things… to help others heal.
And at times it still freaks me out. Still feeling like I may be judged by telling others the information I somehow recieve. With practice and time I've gained the courage to finally just say what comes to my mind. And that is how my trust in my intuition came about and my love of sharing Reiki healing with others.
So yeah, that’s why I became a Reiki healer and have expanded my knowledge to Angelic Crystal Healing and so much more.
Also, a huge thank you to Nancy for being so kind, inspiring, and a friend for life! Jack and I love you Nancy J Compton!
Love & Light to all,
Kelly
