On Saturday, I started my journey of Reiki Certification. As many of you know, I already did a weekend training where I became attuned and practiced on others. But in order to get my full certification, I must complete some other steps. Included in those steps is giving myself treatments and journaling about them.
I have been giving myself impromtu treatments since the attunement, but I have failed to journal them. In the next month, I would like to have at least my treatments complete.
This session, since it was planned, kind of felt odd to me. Like I didn’t know where to begin. I had been feeling healthy and wasn’t drawn to a particular thing to send energy to, so I used the deck of cards that was given to me in my kit. I shuffled them up and spread them on the floor. The one I had picked said, “Listen to the meditation of protection.” It was about a 25 minute long meditation and it didn’t encouraged or discourage Reiki treatment during it.
Being 5 months pregnant, I did not do this treatment on my back which felt sort of odd to me. But I laid on my side with a pillow for support and comfort. I was drawn to give energy at my lower back, my heart, my crown, and my forehead. Near the end of the meditation, I believe I was somewhere else. I was not conscious of the things around me or of my thoughts, but I wasn’t asleep either. It reminded me a lot of my experience with Yoga Nidra while at the yoga retreat 2 summers ago.
I found the experience to be perfect to get me back on track with my Reiki practice, and so amazing that the Universe (once again) blessed me with exactly what I needed.
