Intuition, Confidence & Trust Through Community
April 23, 2021
Healers have an inherent desire to help and be of service to others. They commit to intensive courses and years of practice to master their craft. They learn the importance of maintaining an open heart and reacting to the emotions that arise in energy work without judgment. They also learn to hold the space with neutrality. This can only be achieved by trusting their intuition as they must allow, release and relay messages they receive with guidance only. This is perhaps the most important aspect to learn.
Intuition is that voice in our head that warns us of danger or assures us that the decisions we are making are safe. As these decisions are not factually based, it is easy to dismiss them as fanciful or inaccurate. Indeed learning to trust your intuition is challenging for many Healers, as it is one of the more difficult aspects of their responsibilities. It is, however, one of the most important for it truly is one of their greatest assets.
If a Healer is having difficulty trusting their intuition, it typically stems from limiting thoughts and beliefs. These are patterns that hold you in a negative, repetitive cycle and thus need to be removed. It is by removing these mental obstacles that you will slowly begin to trust your intuition. Eventually, it will become as natural and normal as breathing and you will be able to fully trust in the Divine to be your guide.
As many Healers have experienced these issues throughout their careers, a great way of dealing with them is by joining a Community. The common values and goals shared within a Community are important measures for any Healer. The support and understanding that a Community offers is invaluable. It should be like your soul family; like-minded folks that appreciate and support you in all of your endeavors. The community that I created is our Shamanic Reiki community. This Community will help heal the wounds from this life or other lifetimes, if we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and hear our inner voice of wisdom and knowledge.
Practitioners, Healers or anyone working within the energy healing field must also initiate self care, while holding space for others. Part of that self care is belonging to a community that understands the challenges and experiences you encounter as you heal and grow within yourself. Every time you engage in a session or perform a healing piece for yourself, there is an evolution of change happening. It all starts with you: “From within, so without”! In groups or communities, we can then be part of the web of life that keeps us connected and healthy. If you are new to Healing or have been a practitioner for years, becoming a member of the Reiki Community only serves to enhance your skills and benefit your clients. Together we can make an impact on this planet!

The ‘Veil' - the dividing line between the divine, and this physical construct of earth. So many of us still don’t see the magic that can be witnessed between here and there. Often, you will hear that the veil is thinner than it has been at other times of the year, or during a spiritual retreat or ceremony. We are the creators of our existence. We have the power to make this happen, whether we are attuned and initiated into Reiki, or not. The difference between having Reiki as a lifestyle, as opposed to not having it, was revealed to me over the past couple of years. I see how quickly people are learning what took me 10 to 15 years to accomplish. Good news for those who waited, and also for those who started three decades ago. The time construct is an illusion. Time doesn’t exist, so really, we are all precisely where we need to be. Comparison using a timeline, really, is a process of our perceptions and what we align with in the moment. For example, I am currently in a new meditation practice, and a new experience has arisen. In this experience, a whole new reality unfolds, presenting a new opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of myself, and create more extraordinary experiences. Reiki will bring us all to this place eventually, guided and protected so our childlike wonder can develop and take us beyond the veil. Can we achieve this without Reiki? Absolutely, but as a person who is sensitive to energy, I find this modality has given me the love and grace to explore with childlike wonder. I still get to listen to, and follow my higher knowing, and it insists that I do so, but I get to move along at the pace of growth that serves me best (even if my ego thinks differently). Not all of it has been easy, but as parents allow their child to learn to walk and become more human, so does God, Spirit and the creator, allow us to develop in whatever way is intended for each of us. This reflection has both positive and negative aspects, from which we can learn. Soon, the child knows not to touch the hot flame or burning wood. Beyond the veil is where we can heal ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This is where the supernatural kicks in. As this human experience unfolds, we get to observe, watch and learn. Become the watcher, become the magician, and orchestrate the reality your eyes desire to see. There is no prescribed timing, or amount of required waiting. We only need to allow flow, let go, and enjoy the experience. This is only possible when we are the closest to the veil, or when there is the thinning of the veil, as the veil itself on this side of the human experience creates the illusion. Reality awaits beyond the veil—the experience where we heal, grow, and evolve into our life purpose, the place of our universal connection to our creator self, and where we recognize who our guides, teachers, and higher self are, as well as the reality we desire to be in. When invoking the Cho-ku-Rei symbol, take your time, do it with intention and focus. Pause and wait to feel the energy. Really, DO NOT RUSH. Feel it, know it, and understand it. Even if we are seasoned masters, and have been doing it for a long time, this is all the more reason to do this step with intentional clarity and smoothness. As the veils are so very, very thin, you may be surprised by the magic, and how reality can change into beauty so quickly. If we spend too much time in a single state when we're out in the world, we can get stuck. If we no longer like this experience, we sometimes forget that we have the power and tools to change it. Reiki keeps us tuned and connected to creating our desired reality. Tips for aligning with the “Veil”: Invoke Reiki. Use the Cho-ku-Rei and Sei-hei-ki symbols and ground them into the Earth. Be slow and precise, and pause for at least 40 to 90 seconds after you invoke the emblem. Energy flow. Breathe and move the energy down to the one-point (Tan Tien). Open-heart connection. Simply touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra position. Surrender. Open up to receive with childlike wonder. Calm the mind. Hear your breath or a continuous noise - no thought. Meditation. Starting with a simple OM Meditation is excellent, 10 to 15 minutes, allow yourself to feel. Breathing. Circle your breath - up from the bottom of the left foot and up the body over the crown, and then exhale down the right side. Consult your inner knowing. See if your inner knowing relays any messages, images, or body sensations. Pay attention . An image is worth a thousand words. Journal. Write, dream and create what those meanings are for you. Take action. Move and do one thing that brings reality closer to you. If you need help facilitating any steps, or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These tools help gain insight, identify what keeps you stuck, and create strategies to achieve your goals. ~ Namaste & Many Blessings!
