I opened my eyes to a pastel-pink dawn. 

It was chilly exterior however heat inside my sanctuary (what I prefer to name my bed room). I felt cozy and guarded beneath my quilt, watching nature waking up by way of my window.

Despite the fact that I had a great night time’s sleep, my coronary heart was heavy. 

It felt like a cloud was over my chest, making my respiration arduous. I racked my mind for the rationale why as I believed concerning the girls I’ve been mentoring.

• Did I tackle the heartbreak of the lady who’s about to file for divorce?
• Did I take in the ache of the lady therapeutic her childhood trauma?
• Did I over-empathize with the lady grieving dropping her husband to most cancers?

Regardless of their struggling, these girls are devoted to connecting with their inside energy to really feel, heal, and discover the sunshine within the darkness. 

I’ve had the distinction of serving to them convey function to their ache, discover hope and provides themselves permission to convey again the enjoyment they’ve been lacking into their lives.

The dawn by way of my window jogged my memory of the duality of life. 

The town lights shone from the appropriate whereas nature started a brand new day on the left.

Gentle wants darkness.
Braveness wants concern.
Calm wants chaos.

That is yin and yang. The fact of opposites making a complete. 

After taking some deep breaths, I meditated and handled myself with Reiki, as I’ve carried out each morning since 1996 (when Reiki “discovered” me).

Aligning with life drive power, the universe, divine love-whatever you need to name it-helps me reset. My morning follow is my sanctuary. 

Self-Reiki feels completely different each time. That exact morning, I felt held and carried. I requested for the next perspective on the way to lighten my heavy coronary heart.

I acquired three phrases: Transfer your physique. 

While you routinely elevate your vibration, asking for and receiving steerage from the next consciousness comes naturally. (By the best way, for those who’d prefer to study a easy follow to reset and join with life drive power, study Reiki with me).

“Transfer your physique” was the message. So, I listened, no questions requested. 

I crawled out from beneath the quilt and placed on my latest favourite tune. That week, a canopy of Rihanna’s tune “Raise Me Up” by Israeli singer Raviv Kaner was on the high of my listing. I’ve all the time been deeply moved by music and the sensation it evokes.

Closing my eyes, I danced like nobody was watching. 

I allowed my physique to maneuver freely, the tune on repeat. I let my muscle mass transfer nevertheless they wished to within the second. Then, I pressed pause, positioned my palms over my coronary heart, and have become nonetheless.

Observing my breath. Experiencing the current with out judgment, simply love. Embodying the lightness vibrating by way of my physique. Merely being. 

The reduction I felt was speedy. My coronary heart felt lighter, and the heavy cloud I’d felt after I awakened was not there.
