New sensations and feelings

As I practice more and more Reiki, on various people, things are opening up left and right. Each person I work on/with gets me to practice new things, open up to new voices, and trust more of my process around healing and holding space for others. I worked on a body worker and we did boundary work, which is ESSENTIAL when dealing with all types of people, especially those with issues, ailments, traumas, unstable energy, etc. I had never done anything like that during a session, but we actually practiced protection techniques and I think it was really helpful. I'd love to work on more healers as I think the healing profession, by its very nature, often neglects the healers and the care they need for themselves. I know from experience that healing others without healing yourself isn't very effective and clients know, albeit unconsciously, if a healer is able to take care of his/herself so that they can hold open and clear space for the client in their shit.

I had a healer guide coming to my sessions in the beginning, helping me observe and correcting me if I was harming myself, but she has since receded into the background, watching, no doubt, as I use more of my intuition in my sessions. I don't do Reiki like anyone I know, but I do practice it well and it is successful.

I used to have silent treatments, primarily, but I am practicing the more open, guided sessions at present. Some people like to talk, some like to have a moment of peace and do internal work. I usually know when to switch it off and on. Some areas need more communication and others need peace and quiet.

My confidence has done a 180 degree turn. Weeks ago I was eyoring my way around Reiki and my practice and now I am actively seeking out folks to practice on. It helps to have the apprenticeship, but I know that once I am online and out there, I'll be successful and prosperous. I really enjoy what I do and if anything, that's a great selling point.

I am working with Derek Dunnom on my website (FINALLY) and today I was thinking about business cards (which was a HUGE block for me a month ago). Very cool. Y'know, I don't need to know why or how I got to this point (there are several factors: hypnotherapy, an attitude adjustment, raw food, therapy, preparing for pregnancy, my retreat with Josh and his guided truth-telling, etc., I'm just happy to be here.
