If you’re an organizer, an educator, a therapist, a bodyworker, you are on the frontlines of this changing world.
You give to everyone & leave yourself depleted.
Subconsciously and maybe even out loud, you’re thinking if I stop, who will do the work? I can’t stop.
That was me, in my idealistic twenties in NYC, speaking out about LGBTQ+ and people of color issues & organizing, I was passionate about the work. I felt like all that responsibility was on my shoulders. I thought it was all mine to hold. I thought I could control all the outcomes. I thought I could save everyone.
But I was burnt out.
Migraines, anxiety, gaining weight. And then Reiki entered my life, introduced to me by Maria Socorro Laya Smith.
I thought it was magic.🪄
And it was. It changed me. If I had anxiety or wasn’t able to sleep, I’d Reiki myself, and be able to get through the day as if I’d had a good night’s sleep. When it got challenging around fiscal issues, I’d send Reiki, and we’d be able to make it through.
It helped me realize that the way I was living my life at that time was not sustainable.
And while my practice has expanded into a host of healing modalities all working together, Reiki remains the gateway that taught me how to work with the source of energy itself. To make magic ✨
