Reiki finds us when we need it most
About 10 years ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. When my TPO antibodies reached 2500, my symptoms became extreme. I suffered from hair loss, depression, joint pain, constipation and panic attacks. I always try to do natural healing if it is possible. I did a lot of research and learned that eliminating gluten, dairy and soy from my diet could help.
How I was surprised when just after 1.5 weeks of elimination diet I started to feel better. Interestly enough my symptoms went away little by little, but something wasn’t completely working.
I was on a gluten free diet for a while. I ate a lot of vegetables and healthy fats, but something was still missing. I couldn’t get to the remission. After analyzing everything I do, I came to the conclusion there is stress that makes me feel tired. I had trouble concentrating, insomnia, and muscle pain.
I realized that right before I felt sluggish, had brain fog or trouble concentrating, I had an emotional reaction on something or someone. I understood that very often it’s not even stress but how I react to life or work situations. Many of us have a strong reaction when something doesn’t go our way. We react to things based on our beliefs and perceptions. We have a strong reaction when we are sitting in traffic and worry about getting late to work or gathering. Is being 5 mins late even worse that much worries?
This is when I realized I have to be cautious of my thoughts. I started practicing yoga and meditations on a regular basis. It helps me a lot. It helped me to reset and brought synchronicities into my life. I have got on a higher emotional wave connecting to my desired future and became a happy person.
One day my daughter called me. She was doing her rotation at the Integrative School of Medicine in Arizona. She told me, “Mom you should do Reiki.” “Why? What is Reiki?”, I asked. She replied, “Remember when I was little and used to have ear infections, you always put your hand on my ear and I felt heat. I never had to take antibiotics for my ear infection.” Yeap. I did this.
This is why I’ve got certification in Reiki. Reiki changed my life. I am a new person now and feel better than ever physically and emotionally.
I am so humble, I can also help others get to a better, healthier version of themselves.
