As I mentioned a few days ago, I am challenging myself to do 21 days of Reiki in preparation for the Summer Solstice, and something in me has decided to document the experience.
What I've discovered so far is that Reiki has done so much more than help me heal, it has guided me back to the most authentic version of myself.
Before Reiki, I spent years shrinking myself to fit into spaces that were never meant for me, surrounded by people who didn't truly know themselves, let alone know me. I stayed quiet when my soul wanted to speak. I ignored things that now I would never accept. I traded pieces of myself for approval, believing that fitting in and being liked was the goal.
But fitting in is overrated.
Somewhere along the way, I dimmed my own light. I tucked away the most vibrant, creative, and beautiful parts of who I am because it felt safer, because it made others comfortable. My mind was constantly in overdrive, living from a place of logic and survival, while my creativity and intuition patiently waited to be remembered.
Lately, something has shifted.
I feel myself coming alive again. I'm reconnecting with the creative spark that makes my soul shine. I'm learning to be intentional with each day, creating more space for joy, expression, and freedom. With every layer I release, I uncover another piece of myself that was always there, waiting to be seen.
What's surprised me most is that as I've become more authentic, I've started attracting more authentic people into my life. Souls who value depth over appearances. People who encourage growth instead of conformity.
Being more intentional with my day-to-day life has been truly eye-opening. It has helped me release shackles I didn't even realize I was carrying. The more I trust myself, the lighter I feel. The more I honor my intuition, the more aligned my path becomes.
Healing is not always linear. Sometimes it looks like slowing down. Sometimes it looks like revisiting old wounds. Sometimes, to the outside world, it may even look like going backward. But healing isn't about how it appears to others, it's about coming home to yourself.
And that is exactly what I'm doing.
I am no longer here to impress people. I am here to honor my spirit, trust my path, and continue this journey toward wholeness.
