my Reiki healing journey
2018 was the year I started Bloom Beauty and I poured myself into the process of creating my brand and building my business. During this time I devoured lots of business podcasts and took online courses. One thing led to another and I ended up stumbling upon the world of personal development & spirituality.
Books like The Law Of Attraction, The Power Of Now, and A Course In Miracles were vehicles to moments of powerful self actualization. I was incredibly open to this journey because my mom had introduced me to many of these principles & concepts- even though at the time I shrugged off her “hippy” ways.
As I began my journey inward, two very special new friends came into my life; they were reiki healers. I was so interested in energy work and I had so many questions! It felt so fun, new, and exciting. I booked session after session with them, always feeling my energy elevate through our work together.
So you may be asking “what is reiki?”. Reiki is an ancient healing energy, Reiki practitioners are attuned to the Reiki healing energy and align with it to promote healing, stress-reduction, and emotional well-being. Energy flows from the healer to the person at a frequency associated with physical healing. Reiki can also remove energetic blocks, help resolve emotional issues, empower you, & balance your energy!
I was shifting & shedding old programming and patterns that no longer served this next level version of me. I was then called to visit the places within that felt more like shadows, to dig deep into healing trauma from my childhood and teenage years. While this was serious work that took a lot of courage, I released so much shame. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Opening up myself with the guidance of these two incredible reiki healers was so moving & empowering.
After such a profound experience I was a believer in reiki healing and in the spring of 2019 I took the opportunity to become a certified healer myself. Even though I was unsure of if or how it would fit into the Bloom Beauty brand, I decided to take the leap! It felt so natural. Everything had fallen into place so easily & effortlessly. The process of going through the attunements was so joyful and expansive. I was following my intuition, and having so fun doing it!
If you are open to trying new healing modalities to foster personal growth and self-actualization, reiki can be incredibly powerful. Spirituality can be a practice used daily through prayer, mediation, journaling, or even painting, drumming or cooking. I have found so much grounding energy through cultivating a simple spiritual practice.
