HEALING WITH REIKI–My positive experience and why I’ll be back again!
I have recently discovered the healing power of Reiki, a gentle, non-invasive Japanese technique that clears energy blockages we might be holding onto and helps the natural flow of energy in our bodies.
WHY REIKI?
Last year I was burnt out, consumed by our material society and extremely anxious. I turned to meditation to help me find peace and calm in my heart and, after feeling the benefits of meditation, I decided to take a more holistic approach to dealing with anxiety.
Coincidentally, Gina Cook, one of my clients at Barre Fitness told me that she had just opened Look Inside Studio, a beautiful healing space where she offers Reiki treatments. Here was an opportunity presenting itself for the taking so I booked an appointment.
WHAT I EXPERIENCED.
Gina’s treatment felt like a warm glowing bath of positive energy. At first I was anxious about what would come up during the treatment. When I get anxious, my emotions and tension get caught in my throat (the throat is your fifth chakra), and I was afraid that something would manifest in the middle of treatment and I would have to stop.
Instead, as the treatment progressed, my tension and fear morphed into softness, light and spaciousness. I did experience a lot of energy shifts around my heart and abdomen but they subsided and I was left feeling relaxed and restored.
The 30-minute treatment flew by and I was sad when it was over as I felt so amazing lying there under GIna’s presence. Later, when I journaled about the experience, I felt an overwhelming compassion for myself.
Look Inside is situated in Dundarave, West Vancouver where it faces the ocean. After my treatment I went for a walk along the seawall and, I’m telling you, it was PURE BLISS!
