Making A Home And Family

Do you remember this post about my first Reiki distance client?

She welcomed her baby boy into the world last night avoiding the Monday deadline that the Drs put on her!  Yay!

From what I gathered, all is well with mommy and baby and now her biggest challenge is finding a name for her precious little bundle of joy.

If that’s not an inspiring way to wake up, I don’t know what is!  I’m floating with Reiki love today!

I am determined.  I am ready.  I am going to get certified in reiki soon.  Real soon.

A little background of my reiki here and self-treatments here, here, and here.

Last night, I finally completed self-treatment #4.  I went to bed and centered myself, turned on some relaxing music, and did a body scan.  My aura greatly dipped at my pelvis, which is completely understandable considering my c-section with V and my thoughts surrounding that.

I left my hands there the entire time – feeling lots of warmth and vibrations in my hands.  I also had what felt like energy shooting toward my heart during the session.  I feel like a lot of my healing is not only in my c-section area but in my heart about the birth in general.  I hope that I am on that road now.

It certainly has been awhile since I have done my last Reiki treatment on myself.  You can read about it here.  You can also get more information about Reiki and why I practice through this post.

DH asked for a Reiki session last night, but I felt completely burned out and sore and tired from the third trimester and figured if I was to extend Reiki to him I had better perform it on myself to get centered first.  I asked him if his session could wait until morning.  Of course, he agreed.

So this morning when I woke up, I made sure to have a good breakfast and tea.  I did about 20 minutes of prenatal yoga and lit incense in the spare room where I would do Reiki.   I just finished my 30 minute Reiki session, and thought I should journal about it before doing his session.

I started my session with my hands in prayer by my head asking for guidance and stating my intention of giving Reiki to myself and my baby so that I could center myself.  I performed Reiki on my forehead and eyes as they have been causing me pressure headaches, which I am guessing is from all the weather changes.

Then I moved along to my heart and chest, where I realized my breathing suddendly slowed down and became an even paace without me trying to force it to do so.  I stayed here for a little bit just enjoying the calm until my wondering got the best of me.  How would Sprout enjoy Reiki on my tummy.  I put one hand near the bottom of my bump near where her head is and one on the right side which I always feel kicking.  Immediately, I could feel her little feet and hands start to move.  Not kicks or jolting movements, but just little wiggles.  After she calmed down, I moved one  hand to my pelvis and kept the other on my belly.  I have felt a lot of pressure down low lately, either because she is growing or she dropped further into my pelvis and I am hoping that energy relieves some of that discomfort.  While I was in that position, I believe I fell asleep or into a deep meditative state.  It was almost like lucid dreaming, but I already can’t remember the visions.

When I came to, I looked at the clock and realized it was almost exactly 30 minutes and it would be a good stopping point.  I said my thanks and then played with my pendulum for a bit.

Now I’m off to wake up James for his session.
