Reiki Analogy

Have you ever built a small dam in a creek by using rocks and sticks? By using enough raw material you can do a pretty good job of blocking the natural flow of water thus creating a deep, still, pool of water. 

If you were to leave your homemade dam there for a few months it would become a stagnant, smelly, bacteria ladened cesspool. Ewww, how could you do such a thing?

Okay, so, this is where my comparative comes into play. Think of the water as the inner energy that flows inside your body. 

The raw materials you used to build your dam represent all the emotional, mental and physical stress you have experienced (and are still holding onto) throughout your lifetime. 

Just like that creek had become stagnant and unhealthy from being blocked from your dam, your internal flow of energy also becomes stagnant and unhealthy from being blocked by the painful experiences of your past.

The physical illness a person is experiencing is, in part, the result from carrying one's emotional and or mental stress with them; those memories of an incident that you had gone through sometime in your life. 

Those memories are what cause one to hold onto the anger, the fear, the sorrow, the guilt, the regret, the sadness, the hate, the jealousy. 

Those emotions, they take up residency inside you and over time your physical body begins to weaken and that is when the physical illnesses have a tendency to show up.

And then comes the clearing -

When we step into the practice of Reiki or any form of energy healing, we are not trying to force the water to flow again. We are not breaking the dam apart with brute strength or rushing in to fix what’s broken.

Instead, we come with presence. With stillness. With compassion.

We sit beside the creek of the body and listen. We ask the water what it needs.

And as we gently remove one stone at a time, an old wound here, a buried emotion there, the current begins to move again. Not by force, but by surrender.

This is what Reiki does. It doesn’t fix you. 

It reminds you.

Reminds your body how to flow.

Reminds your heart how to open.

Reminds your soul that it was never broken to begin with.

As the water clears, so too does the mind. As the energy moves, so too does the pain. And what was once a stagnant pool becomes a shimmering stream once more alive, breathing, and whole.

There are different forms of energy healing that can assist in releasing internal blocked energy. 

There is reiki, flower essences, acupuncture, massage and reflexology to name a few. I have to say, reiki and flower essences are two that resonate with me on a very deep level.

My reiki journey began in 2014. I decided I was going to earn my degrees as to assist me in my own healing journey, as well as assist others in their healing journey and so I could teach the art of reiki healing to others. 3 years later I earned my 4th degree in the Usui lineage. 

It was a slow process in earning those degrees. That was the way the teachers I was working with shared their teachings to others. 

It takes time as there is much healing that comes with this kind of journey. It's a never ending journey really.

If you resonate with reiki healing, and are interested in receiving long distance healing or are interested in learning more about energy healing, be sure to send me a message with any questions you have.
