Reiki and Emotional Disharmony

Our emotions can be one of the greatest blessings we are given, helping us to feel joy, passion, peace and love. However, chaotic and dis-harmonic emotions are much of the time, if not all, of the reason we make the choices that harm ourselves and others the most. Emotions in themselves are neither bad nor good. They are messages. If we feel anger, there is a message. If we feel sad, there is a message. If we feel shame, there is a message. But, when we do not understand the message behind the emotion, when we refuse to seek the message that is there, or, when we allow the emotion to fall to the deep end where it becomes a raging flame that can burn ourselves and others down with it, the emotion has become a weapon, a storm that can destroy anything in its path. 

​

It takes true courage to listen to the difficult emotions that come to you, to face the storm with stillness, and understand what is truly needed. Do you need to cry? Do you need to be truly be heard? Do you need to feel loved? Do you need to be seen? Do you need to move your body, dance, laugh, sing? Then there are the difficult questions. Do you need to find more humility and less judgement? Is your need to be seen becoming a shadow so great it drowns all who come near, instead of becoming the light you wish to be so that others begin to notice you shining without your saying a word? Have your actions related to your storm caused you to hurt the ones you care for the most? 

​

Becoming balanced, living in harmony with the emotions we experience is the key to walking through those waters without drowning in the waves. The key to shining bright like a diamond, verses burning the world down by your flame. Easier said than done when we have lived a life of trauma, or are faced with multiple health conditions which cause us to live in pain daily. 

​

This is where the beauty of Reiki goes to work. When we feel calm and peaceful we are capable of seeing clearly what type of storm we are facing, what caused the storm, and what must be done to calm it. Reiki is that calm in the storm. When you are surrounded and filled with the Light of Divine Love you begin to realize that you are not alone, you are always seen, always loved, always held and supported, whether you recognize it or not. Many times we do not realize that the emotions that come to us are a message that may lead us to a way of living that wasn't possible before. Your need to overeat does not need to be seen with shame, with love, it can be seen as a message that a part inside you is not being fulfilled and would like to be heard. Your anger with your partner for ignoring you when you are hurting can be seen, with love, as you needing to share with honesty why your heart is hurting and what you feel is needed. Your loneliness can be seen, with love, as a message that it is time to find fulfillment in a new area of life that fills your cup instead of drains it. 

​

When we make choices from a calm place of love, for our highest and greatest good, the choices we make will always lead us down a path in life that elevates us and does not cause us to drown ourselves, or others, in our storm. Working with the Love-Light of Reiki is a beautiful way to let that light help reflect what is truly needed for you to see, understand and grow from, to come back to a harmonious state of being. We must remember that we are walking magnets. When we are a raging storm of toxic energy, we will pull to us more of that very thing. When we are balanced and filled with love and light, not only do we draw more of that to use, but we finally begin to see the doors that lead us to the life we are meant to live. Just understand that when you see those doors and choose to walk through them, at times there will be stairs to climb. Each step a learning experience if you allow it to be.
