I never seem to have the words after a Reiki Master/Teacher course. This particular group was just so beautifully cosy, the whole way through. There was this deep feeling of safety and familiarity within the first few minutes of opening our circle on Friday. Everybody dropped in, into that beautiful space of connection and togetherness, of healing.
Whenever a group like this gathers, I’m reminded of how much we need each other when it comes to healing. Even a group of women who have never met before can be so ready to embrace one another, coming together with open hearts, like-minds and eager spiritual curiosity.
Saturday we connected to nature and gave Reiki to the trees, to the earth herself. And of course, we received it in return. Because you can’t give Reiki to a tree without the tree giving Reiki back to you. That beautiful, cyclical reciprocity is the true nature of nature.
One of my favourite moments was our closing circle, hearing how many of the women spoke about the joy and all the laughter we’d shared. For me, that’s the mark of a really profound spiritual experience. When there’s enough safety to open up, to cry, to voice what’s true, to bring what we’ve been holding in the dark into the light in the presence of others. To be witnessed, to be held, to be healed. And then to laugh! To feel that wonderful, giddy energy that comes simply from being together, from feeling the light within ourselves. I love playfulness, especially in spiritual / therapeutic settings. We can go so deep into healing, and sometimes take it all so seriously. I love when there’s this bubbling joy, this lightness. I believe that underneath all the emotions we hold, all those complex, layered feelings, somewhere underneath it all, there’s joy. Like a wellspring.
I’m so deeply grateful for the journey I’ve just shared with these seven beautiful souls.
It’s such a privilege to witness people begin this journey of healing, connection and remembering who they truly are. My heart is full of gratitude, wonder and joy today ❤️
