YOU GUYS!! I met this amazing woman named Julia. In February we started sharing the room that I rent at Coastal Family Wellness. Julia is a certified Reiki Master Teacher in a few different types of Reiki. Since the day I met her I felt that she was truly down to earth and was someone I wanted on my care team.

Well, Aug. 15th, was the day that I FINALLY bit the bullet and received my first reiki session. I feel that I usually do pretty good research about all things that interest me. Well, even still I didn’t have ANY idea what to expect. Also, if I’m going to be completely transparent about my session, the research I did, didn’t even touch on what went on during my session. When I entered the room, that I work in 3 days a week, I instantly went into a relaxation. After Julia and I talked for a bit to catch up, as our schedules don’t overlap. She had me lay on the table face up and covered me with the world’s softest lavender blanket.

Julia then explained to me that reiki is energy work that uses the chakras and the body meridians. She asked if there was anything that I wanted to manifest, focus on, or get answers about during this session. I told her there wasn’t really and I just wanted to see what would get brought up during this session.

At this point Julia asked me if I wanted to wear the eye mask for added relaxation, or if I wanted to keep my eyes open during the session. Since I know that I tend to get distracted by my surroundings and I’m not good at keeping my eyes closed on my own, I asked for the mask. This would ensure that I could get the most out of my session as I could. Julia did a quick scan of my aura to see if there were any areas of my body that really pulled to her that needed a little more focus right off the back. My stomach triggered her first. She then went to my feet and asked me to ground myself. As I did, she mentioned that she instantly got a vision of my feet in the sand with the waves rolling over them. I WAS scared IMPRESSED! Not only did I not say what I was imagining but she saw it as soon as she touched my feet! At that moment, it was confirmed, this was exactly what I needed at this time in my life.

The rest of the session continued on like this. When Julia went to my head to start the process she asked about my angles. She knew that my grandmother was trying to contact me. But, because I could feel a lot going on in my neck and throat, she asked if I had a problem speaking up and asking for help. (Which I definitely do) She said that spirits don’t just invite themselves into our lives we need to ASK for their help. So, while grandmama may be watching over me, she cant do much (thanks to human free will) until I specifically give in and say that I would like her to help guide me.

During the session we would talk about things that I was feeling or follow up conversations, you know how one thing can lead to another. So, when Julia got back to my feet, I kept visualizing a white light pulsating up from my feet, through my legs. I let her know and she said that was good, that it was healing. It was focused mostly through my left side. Julia reassured me that sensation was completely normal. The left side is focused on the yin, the female energy.

Near the end of the session I told Julia I saw a kaleidoscope of purple. When mentioned it she, very obviously, get super excited! Purple, again, is a very healing color. I was on the path of growing spiritually. We ended the session and talked a little bit about my future and how reiki can help me. Julia explained to me that reiki was exactly like meditation, but in a way, better! She was doing the meditation for me without any of the work. Just like how massage is me doing the stretching of muscles for you without you doing the hard work. I loved that example, it really helped me focus on what I want to narrow in on and what I want to manifest in life. Julia also explained that meditating and asking the universe for help was JUST LIKE ordering something offline. When you look at an item, and thanks to cookies, it starts to show up EVERYWHERE on line. That item and ones that are similar. After you finally decide to order it you get really excited about it coming, you worked hard for that item, you imagine how you are going to feel when it finally shows up, you imagine how you are going to use that item and what its going to do for you in the future.

So, when you really want to add something into your life, just ask the universe for help, really focus on what it is you want to achieve, and the universe will answer. Not only with what you really want, but with so much more. I absolutely LOVED this first session of reiki treatment and I cannot wait for my next one in just a couple of weeks. I would HIGHLY suggest that everyone tries it at least once. Especially if you need healing, or clarification in your life. I’m serious when I say that I would love for you all to try out Julia soon. She truly is such a healing human and so kind! I know that she will hold the space for you in the aspect that you need most to help you grow and thrive!
