The morning after

OK, so it is the morning after my first Reiki experience and I have to say that it was amazing! My dear friend, Mrs S, was the one doing the Reiki and oh my goodness, you would not believe the heat coming from her hands!! The moment she put them on me I felt the heat and energy being channelled and my solar plexus chakra began bubbling away. The solar plexus chakra is located just under your breastbone and is responsible for your emotions (you know that butterfly feeling you get when you are nervous…that occurs in the solar plexus chakra). It is not surprising that the energy was immediately drawn to this particular chakra because between my depression and my general feeling of being an emotional basket case, my emotional centre most definitely needed some attention!

Several messages from Spirit came through Mrs S during the Reiki and I experienced a whole range of emotions…crying, overwhelmed, relaxed, empowered, excited and did I mention crying? Lol. Not blubbering mess crying but tears were just welling up and rolling down my cheeks that were totally beyond my control. As I said, it was an absolutely amazing experience that really must be felt to be believed.

So it was less than 12 hours ago that I had my first Reiki session but already I have noticed a few things...I woke up from the soundest sleep I have had in a very long time. Normally my dreams are awful and wake me up or I stir from the noises the kids make or from feeling too hot, but last night I didn’t stir once. I slept solidly through the night! What a great feeling J Then upon waking this morning, my stomach is noticeably less bloated. For ages I have had a horrible bloated belly causing me lots of discomfort, but today it is just gone! My belly is flatter, no horrible wind and honestly not an ounce of discomfort at all!  

Emotionally I am feeling a lot calmer and more relaxed and I feel like I could handle any challenge that’s thrown at me today. The best part though would have to be the way the kids seem really drawn to me. Elliott is not one to seek out affection and definitely not one to have cuddles but this morning I have been lucky to have several cuddling and kissing sessions with him. It is wonderful! Then Sophie came over to me after breakfast and climbed onto my lap for a cuddle. We snuggled for a long time and then Soph said “Oh no, we’re stuck with glue! We’ll have to stay like this”. How gorgeous! I am just loving it J

I hope these positive effects keep up for quite some time because I am feeling fantastic. I am amazed at how far reaching the impact of the Reiki is proving to be and improving elements of my being that I had not even imagined (ie-my bloated stomach). It really is amazing and I highly recommend seeking out a Reiki experience of your own J Happy Friday xox
