Guest Blog Post: The Power of Reiki – My Journey to Self-Love and Happiness

 

Hey there, fabulous souls!

 

Let me take you on a little journey. I'm a 35-year-old woman, who, like many, had my fair share of life's ups and downs. The kind that leaves you feeling like you're dragging a dark cloud around everywhere you go. But, spoiler alert – it has a VERY lit ending!

 

It all started when I stumbled down the rabbit hole with late night scrolling and discovered the world of Reiki.  Curious and desperate for change, I decided to give it a shot. Little did I know, this ancient practice would become the beacon of light that would not only dissolve my darkness but also sprinkle some much-needed  joy into my life.

 

Finding the Light

 

Reiki isn't just about waving your hands and feeling magical energy (though, to be honest, that’s a pretty cool part). Reiki is about reconnecting with yourself, finding inner peace, and understanding the energy that flows through you to support your best health and wellness. My Reiki journey helped me peel away layers of self-doubt and negativity that I'd been carrying around for years. Yeah, it’s sort of like peeling an onion. And, be prepared because the tears can flow. But,  your Reiki Master has your sick. Thanks, Calah for having my back! I feel so blessed and am so grateful for your guidance and support.   

 

Mood Swings, Begone!

 

You know those mood swings that make you feel like you’re starring in your own telenovela? They became so much easier to handle with Reiki study. Reiki taught me to tune into my body’s energy, to understand my emotional ebbs and flows, and to nurture myself during those lows. Instead of drowning in mood swings, I started riding the waves with grace and I could laugh at myself. It’s not a Band-Aid and I don’t see myself stopping therapy anytime soon but Reiki has helped me understand the true meaning of daily self-care and shows me how it makes a difference in my everyday life. I can go within myself with better control and grace. Hard to explain, so you just have to take my word for it and dive in!! Call, Calah! And, thanks to Calah who answers my questions and has time for long-distance sessions for me because I travel so much with my work. She’s a phone call away and that’s appreciated. When you find your Reiki Master, your heart knows you are Reiki soulmates! If this sounds like an ad, it should – Calah has made such a difference in my life and I am very thankful.

 

Love & Relationships

 

Here’s the real kicker – my relationships blossomed. With my partner, I found a deeper connection and understanding. The love we share became more profound and fulfilling. And we were doing okay before I started to study but even my partner Evan says he felt I brought more forward so that he himself was more open. I still have my days where I feel like kicking him out the door but let’s say they have become less and less with my daily meditations. Most importantly, my relationship with myself improved. You read a lot about #selflove. Reiki really helped me understand what the hashtag really means.  I learned to love and appreciate the person I am, quirks and all. Self-love became my superpower, and it transformed everything around me.

 

Embracing Snarkiness

 

Reiki didn’t just heal me; it added the snark to my life. I started embracing my quirks, laughing more, and living with a lightness I hadn’t felt in years. I know it sounds voodoo but it’s simply you become more vibrant and joyful. Calmer in self is how I describe it to friends. I always knew I could return to that sassy girl I was in my teens. And guess what? Life is so much more fun when you’re unapologetically yourself.

 

Basically, if it feels like you're constantly carrying a cloud of gloom, give Reiki a try. It might just be the key to becoming the best version of yourself. Promise you, I’m right. I know my worth! And, so will you with Reiki.  

 

Stay Spectacular!
