Reiki Creates Focus –  Tina’s Reiki Journey

Why I made time for Reiki treatments

My father passed away. Two years after his death I was still struggling with the loss; I missed him a lot. I often found myself crying and feeling overwhelmed and alone. I knew that I needed extra support to manage the grief, anxiety and depression his death had triggered in me. I also knew that I needed to “keep it all together” because I work full time, I’m a mother to two teenage children and a caregiver to my aging mother. I wasn’t able to focus on my responsibilities or feel good most days.

What I experienced in my Reiki treatments:

Before my Reiki treatments, I was overwhelmed. I was simply existing, not fully living, and not enjoying life. One of the things I noticed was that I felt safe during my Reiki treatments. Because I felt safe in Sarah’s treatment space I also began to experience more safety within myself and my body.

After each Reiki treatment, Sarah gave me tools that I could use outside the treatment space. The tools were initially focused on managing my grief, and later, I received tools that reduced my anxiety. After each Reiki treatment, I began to feel lighter, more peaceful and more hopeful.

My anxiety was related to my father’s passing, but I was also anxious about other aspects of my life. So, once my grief had lessened, I wanted to work on these areas as well. I was worried about my financial situation. After a series of Reiki treatments, my mind was clearer, so I was able to take action, seek financial advice, and implement the changes that I needed to make.

Once my finances were under control we focused on creating better boundaries at work and home. Working full-time with two teenage children and managing a household can be overwhelming. By the end of most days, I didn’t have a lot of physical or emotional energy for myself. After a series of Reiki treatments my confidence grew. I was able to ask my husband and children for help with household chores. After a few prompts, they responded well, and we’re now working better as a family unit.

How Reiki treatment helped me feel better:

The Reiki treatments calmed my system and my mind so I was better able to manage day-to-day living (which was a source of stress before the treatments). I’ve noticed that since receiving Reiki treatment I don’t overthink as much. I’m calmer and less anxious. Because my anxiety has eased I have more self-confidence to take action and deal with daily challenges.

Other changes I’ve noticed in myself and my life since receiving Reiki treatments

There have been many changes since I started receiving Reiki and working with Sarah. I’ve noticed that I’m not as hard on myself; my inner critic has quietened down. I’m happier so my relationship with my family and friends has also improved.

The tools I received during the Reiki sessions helped me gain more control of my emotions. The Reiki treatments themselves encouraged my mind to quieten down. Once my mind was quieter I could connect more with myself and then take action, where action was needed, in my daily life. I still receive Reiki treatments. I welcome the ongoing support and I’m committed to deepening my capacity for healing. I appreciate Sarah’s gentle guidance, empathy, and non-judgemental treatment space. I encourage anyone who is looking for more balance to try it.
