Soulful Healing

As someone who's struggled and suffered with CPTSD, sometimes feeling grounded and in my body had seemed an impossibility. Meditation felt like an exercise in futility with all of the mind chatter. Connectedness seemed an unattainable goal.

When in 2019 I was attuned for reiki level I, I began a journey down a path which has led me here, to this moment. Moments in which I can hear the chatter and let go. Moments where even when dysregulated I can find my way back to baseline. Moments where I feel so connected to everything and everyone that I'm brought to tears. Moments where I trust my intuition and the people in my life, surrounding me.

Nature reminds me of so many things that my mind tries to hide from me. When I'm outside, whether on hiking on a trail, driving around, or walking barefoot around the urban neighborhood, I see nature as a reminder.

I feel a sense of groundedness. I feel connected. I feel unconditional love. I feel all that I am.

The more that I practice connecting to nature, the easier it is for me to feel connected, supported, alive and living. And reiki helped me feel this need for nature to connect and ground. When I say that reiki saved me, I really feel that. The connection that I can feel on the hardest days has helped me carry on, move through, and integrate (heal).

Perhaps it can help you too? The only way to find out is to try! I look forward to connecting with you. 🙏

From fight, flight, freeze, faun to grounded and integrating(healing)- a glimpse into my journey with reiki..
For many years, my nervous system was dysregulated. I struggled and suffered with CPTSD and it's related symptoms. For me, this looked like:
*Difficulties falling asleep and waking often or sleeping more than needed.
*Racing thoughts, increased heart rate and erratic breathing.
*Constant checking of surroundings for "danger," also known as hypervigilance.
*Challenges in all relationships, most importantly, with myself, stemming from mistrust.
*Dissociating- seeming fine on the outside and suffering on the inside.

While I'm still working on the integration of emotions (healing) that were the cause, I'm in a much more grounded state far more often than I've ever been. And I tried so many different ways to "feel better" and/or numb:
*traditional talk therapy
*self medicating: alcohol, s*x, and exercise all in excess
*homeopathic remedies as well as some prescription medicine, although the latter was only touched upon briefly as my body is very sensitive to most pharmaceuticals that I've tried.

When I learned of and was attuned to reiki about 8 years ago, my whole world began to shift. Today, this looks like:
*deeper, more consistent sleep
*reconnection and grounding through nature in a multitude of ways
*healthier, more mutually beneficial relationships with challenges that allow growth and expansion
*unlearning unhealthy and toxic habits by looking inwards

I wonder how many of you can relate to any of these feelings and behaviors? While my story isn't the same as yours (how could it be?!), our emotions and reactions to those emotions might look very similar.
And I wonder if you would want to walk down a path with me to discover if reiki might also help you to uncover, discover and reconnect to yourself.
Please reach out and let me know when you want to begin down this path to a more grounded, more connected you.

I don't typically consider myself a morning person by any stretch of anyone's imagination. With one now in high-school with an early morning drop off and an hour before the need to be to work, I've found myself deeply grateful and enjoying the early morning beauty. Happy (almost) Fri-yeah!

Labels change and people change.
Love is always love.

It just is .

Back in the early 2000s, MySpace gave an option for s*xual orientation. It was the first time that I had ever even thought about this. Bis*xual. Without hesitation. Within days, the s**t storm began. I wasn't a good Christian. I was I fact, A bad person and role model. My soul was in question. Who was I. What did this mean....why did this make a difference....

What did this all mean. Checking a box that actually made sense for me caused a series of events that I didn't even know would be a Thing.

And yet. Here I was. Trying to explain.

Here I am now, not caring to explain as it doesn't change who I am.

It never did. And it never will.

A label can be changed, erased, and moved. And yet, I still am. Me. The labels are irrelevant. Yet not.

Please take the fear out of labels. Take labels out of the questions...

Put the courage back in for those willing to take a stand about how they feel.

Authenticity is beautiful.

Labels are removable and we are limited time only.
People aren't removed from our hearts. Don't remove yourself from yours.
Love is Love.
Period.
💜❤️💙
