When I set out on my reiki journey eight months ago, I coupled it with a personal training regiment. I was curious to see how changing my energy would influence my physical body, and vice versa. In my mind, I had an idea of who I wanted to become, but I had no idea how powerful she’d be.
And it’s because I’m working with powerful individuals, in and of their own right, who hold me accountable to living at a higher level. They are committed to bringing out the best in me, which includes helping me think and respond differently to situations I have historically struggled with on my own. And yet, they are letting me learn my lessons, knowing that I will make it to the other side. I am the one working. They are coaching and witnessing.
These relationships are healing in so many ways; namely, I have unbecome and become a thousands times in their presence. It is their strength of mind and spirit that my body responds to, a resonance that lights me up and generates a sense of playfulness and peace. They have fostered a newfound knowing within myself that is equally exciting as it is grounding, two qualities that make stepping into the future while settling into who I am, a truly remarkable expression.
They have raised the bar, not only of the vision I had for myself – seeing and revealing things to me that I could not see otherwise – but also for the vision I had for relationships. Reciprocity is easy when you’re aligned. They are going where you are going, if not already a few steps ahead of you. Still, how beautiful it is to be walking together on the same path.
