Yesterday was one of the weirdest beach days I’ve ever had. Despite late trains, searing heat, biting flies and being chased off the beach twice by lightening I managed to have a blissful time with my friend. Then there was the train ride home…
For the first half hour I listened to a woman berate and harass her child. I was getting pissed to say the least. Everything bubbled to the surface and I had to say something and really loud. I made everyone around me uncomfortable with my comments. I even threw in a jab about how I couldn’t wait to leave Philly so I wouldn’t have to listen to this crap anymore. I slumped back into my seat and just focused my attention out the window to the passing woods. Instead of feeling bad about my outburst I heard the word ”mirrors” loud and clear in my mind. At that moment I realized that this young woman had triggered something inside of me. The times of when I was a young mother. Sad memories full of guilt and regret that I’ve just pushed away as far as possible, trying to bury them even further when they suddenly appeared. I lowered my eyes halfway until the passing trees became a green blur then opened to Reiki. Now these memories were coming and I was ready. As each memory came I sent it Reiki then it disapeared until another one appeared to take it’s place. This went on for some time and the memories came and disapeared faster and faster. My body felt full of bright, loving, healing energy. Bliss took over and I was able to let go.
This whole day I’ve been feeling a huge sense of gratitude. For this gift of healing the self and helping others to heal. A gift that we ALL have!
