PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

You may know that I recently began studying Reiki to help heal myself and others.  A year ago, I attended a Reiki class, but decided that I was not ready as I did not fully understand my own energy to use it for healing.  Recently, I have returned to this class, and am also doing some self study at home.

As with every healing practice when we begin to study it, we first do a self diagnosis.  In the past few years, I have been struggling with knee problems.  The causative issues linked with knee problems relate to stubborn pride, ego, inflexibility, and won’t give in.  Please see this link for an Emotional Pain Chart.  For me, I am and can be extremely stubborn on many issues, and am currently struggling with jealousy, anger, distrust, and other negative emotions.  These deep rooted stubborn energy blockages still linger from my childhood trauma.

As part of the Reiki practice, there are different levels of healing to include:

1) Physical level: this might mean eradicating an illness completely, or it could simply mean limiting or alleviating the symptoms for a time.

2) Emotional level: this could allow you to calm any fears and to reach an acceptance of the effect of the illness.

3) Mental level: this could enable you to think differently about your illness, perhaps bringing to your attentions the lessons your illness is trying to teach you, and promoting understanding of the causative issues.

4) Spiritual level: this could enable you to develop a more loving and forgiving relationship with yourself, or perhaps even to make a peaceful transition into death.

Within the next few months, I will be using Reiki to help with my physical knee symptoms to balance and harmonize my whole energy body including physical consciousness or body wisdom, such as proper knee exercises, eating healthier, and self care.  My mental work with Reiki will include letting go of negative thoughts, concepts, and attitudes through my intuitive as I am still hanging onto many.  My emotional work around Reiki will involve understanding and letting go of anger, jealousy, suspicion, and other negative emotions.  Finally, on a spiritual level, Reiki can help foster nonjudgmental approach to humankind, accepting every person as a soul energy on their own spiritual path, not just as a human being with all the attendant failing and frailties, and promoting love, compassion, understanding, and acceptance.

This is all a tall order for me, but I am committed to my own healing to experience a different and healthier life in order to live my highest path.  May you find healing for your life. (Copyright 2015 Awakening Journey with All Rights Reserved)
