After completing the theoretical part of my Reiki Level 1 training, I moved on to the practical segment, which lasts 30 days. Every day, I committed to a one hour self treatment practice through hand placement. This practice sharpens mental visualization, helps me begin to feel Reiki energy in my body, and strengthens my focus.
š As healers, we must first work on ourselves to understand and truly be of service to others. When we experience the benefits of the practice and live them, we can then speak from personal experience. Since introducing Reiki into my life, countless benefits and synchronicities have unfolded. Today, Iām sharing my experience from the very beginning, during the first 30 days of practice. At the beginning of each session, we set an intention. For maximum benefit, itās ideal to stick with the same intention until it is “fulfilled” or the situation resolves itself for the highest good of everyone involved. My intention during this time was: “May whatever needs healing within me, be healed.” On the seventh day of my session, I experienced a deep, almost overwhelming feeling of self love and gratitude that arose from my heart and spread through my entire body. The last time I felt such a profound and intense sensation was five years ago, on the eighth day of meditation at a Vipassana center. This powerful feeling of self love carried an important message.
š The message that followed was clear: it was time to close the chapter on “alcohol.” I literally visualized a book closing and fading into the distance. This deeply rooted decision, coming from the heart, marked the end of harming my body. It was an incredibly warm and tangible feeling of Love for my soul and being, which I wish for everyone to experience.
š I often wondered: “Why do I need alcohol to have fun? How can I change that for myself?” In the past, my decision to balance or completely quit drinking alcohol would often come from my mindāa firm and rigid resolution not to treat myself that way anymore. This resolve would last for a while… and then there was something to celebrate. And during celebrations, I always felt like toasting because, well, thatās just how it goes. From where I’m coming from, the idea of fun is often closely tied to alcohol. I was never a person who drank often, but it didnāt take much for me to quickly “fly off to another dimension”. That feeling was one I neither liked nor wanted for myself anymore. My 20s were fun with some good memories, and for my 30s onwards I want to have fun in a conscious and healthy way. Over the past five years, I explored this topic multiple times with my therapist and coach. This was a part of me I wanted to approach with understanding, love, and compassion. This time, however, the decision came naturally, not from my mind but from my heart. Something inside shifted and settled into place. Absolutely beautiful š I sincerely wish for you to feel this in your own way. Thereās so much magic in setting an open intention and allowing what needs to happen for our highest good to simply unfold. Since I started to share this part of my journey with others, I’m meeting more and more people who are also on the same path.
š Since integrating Reiki energy healing into my daily life, countless wonderful changes have been happening within me and in my life āØļøš§āāļø 2024. was my first year without alcohol after a long time. The feeling of pride, love, and alignment is priceless!
