As I reflect on 2009, I am reminded of the many blessed things that occurred healing-wise. In early Spring, after apprenticing, I received my medicine bag from Singing Man, an Arapaho Elder, with a blessing to facilitate purification lodges. A month later, I was attuned to the Shinpiden or Master level in Usui Reiki Healing. I found a questionnaire/paper I wrote at about the same time, for the Reiki attunement. Here are some blurbs, I share my process in hopes it adds to yours.
Hand-on healing occurs in childhood when your Mom may have put her hands on a scrape, bump, or bruise.
Shedding old systems has allowed me to develop healthier habits.
Let go and let God.
Doing things I say I can, rather than doing things others say I cannot.
Know who I am and what I came here to do.
Warm with fire(of truth), do not burn.
Healers don't heal people, they facilitate people healing themselves.
Balancing 'being' with 'doing'.
Chose peace over being right and stepped away(from a conflict).
I honor all that led me to this present moment, good, bad, and ugly.
Be in full integrity. Integrity just is. When integrity isn't, the way back to the center is to honor oneself starting with one's words and deeds.
Re-connected with Mother Earth.
Realized the importance of staying grounded. The more I am here in the present now, the more I can be ever-expansive, or (connected to) everywhere.
Everything or everyone we come in contact with has something to teach us.
I have more compassion for myself than I used to.
See how some of the people I have liked the least, have helped me grow the most.
Having joy, not just fun.
peace,
Eric

A Letter to a Lightworker
(This is a response to a query from a friend who loves to give but has trouble receiving, and is experiencing fatigue/exhaustion, stress, and a sense of being overwhelmed, even though the person eats right, exercises, and lives a conscious life. The allopathic(Western medicine) doctors have been unable to help this person. I share this response(with permission) in hopes it adds to your journey.)
I am writing this as a reminder of how things are changing on Mother Earth at this time. Take it as you will. You are very special. You have chosen to help so many, and transmute/transform so much, and perhaps that is why you have felt the need to "be the strong one" for so many, and also will indirectly explain the fatigue. You are growing. Rapidly. These are growing pains. Pain can be a great learner, and transformative, but my wish for you is never to suffer. I hope you get the answers you are searching for. All I can say(and I'm saying this as a reminder to myself as well) is these daily practices have helped me deal with some of the same conditions you describe. Hope it helps.
Nurture yourself--- We cannot give what we do not have. Receiving is an essential part of the giving/receiving equation. If you do not receive(love), you are taking away someone else's gift of giving. Think of the airplane analogy, when in the event of emergency, they instruct you to fill yourself w/oxygen before helping the child. Same concept.
Tai Chi/Yoga---To ground the new energies and shifts that you are experiencing. Helps one to remain centered as it feels like time (but is really just consciousness speeding up) is speeding up.
Breath/Meditation--- There are several simple ones that help on a daily basis. It's free, and helps ease anxiety, and bring the nervous system down a notch when we feel overwhelmed.
Walk, in the sun if possible--- Sun helps serotonin levels, which helps moods. Get as much sun as possible. If you're inside a lot, get one of those full spectrum light boxes.
Hydrate---Drink as much water as possible...When you r done, drink more water.
NO PROCESSED FOODS---you already know/live this.
Baths/Salt Scrubs---On a regular, to help cleanse your energy field.
Nature--Be with the Earth as much as you can, get some every day---gardens, parks, beach, and yes, hug a friggin' tree. Will help balance the chaotic vibration of the city...
Clear--Make it a constant practice to get rid of things you do not use, to create space for more goodness to come in. Let go of all that no longer serves you or your life. Feng shui, if you will, your entire life, it works on physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies.
Smile---Whatever makes you smile/laugh---do it.
Pray-- Whatever form that takes, whatever that word means to you..send light...be in gratitude.
Express yourself/love: Let no one tell you how to express, it is simply important that you do it with your true voice.
Ground: When you feel dizzy, use some grounding techniques...grab your favorite crystal, rub some tobacco in your hands, whole-brain postures, imagine a cord tethering you to the center of the Earth. Whatever resonates with you, stay grounded. Think of the gyroscope: As it speeds up, it becomes even stronger, provided it is in integrity, i.e. at its center.
Re-connect w/your feminine energy: do it in private if you have to, whatever you consider art, or right-brained activities, ballet, singing, magic, painting, whatever..let your inner artist shine...let your natural intuition flow....
hope these help.
many blessings,
Eric
