This journey is ever-evolving and beautiful in every sense.

When I was in Maui, I felt this intense connection to not only myself but something even deeper. I’ve always had a connection with nature and energy but this. This was something more.

You could say lately I have been on an intense spiritual awakening, and truly uncovering my soul purpose.

I would let my fears hold me back from exploring new things and took pride in hiding who I was. Uh, what the hell was I doing?

Like I said I am on the path of awakening, tapping into my gifts but not fully trusting in myself.

I go to Maui and instantly I’m in love, feeling like anything and everything is possible. I knew this trip was going to be a beautiful adventure but I never thought it would lead me to Reiki.

It was when I was completely surrounded by nature and water that I was able to fully trust my energy and let my soul do the talking.

During one of my meditations, I was surrounded by a mother-like energy. Like she was leading me into the water and asking me to trust her. Any blockage my heart chakra had was now gone. I felt whole and at peace. Keep in mind my eyes are closed, I'm sitting on a rock, my husband around while we enjoy our last day in Maui.

I’m immersed in this meditation with this energy, trusting in myself to just feel it and be present. I noticed my hands started to get warm and I could see glowing light from my hands, with my eyes closed.

I just sat with it, thinking “I this really happening?” Waving my hands in front of my closed eyes and seeing them glowing white.

It wasn’t until I came home from Hawaii that the message hit hard and my hands were glowing more in meditations.

I saw ads, books, Instagram reels all about Reiki. I knew very little about Reiki other than you use your hands to heal. The next thing I know I’m signing myself up for a Reiki level 1 class a few months later.

I take my level 1 class and everything clicks. I was being guided on this journey, still unsure of what was to come but I knew this was right. I took a lot of time practicing on myself, healing myself. Reiki truly is beautiful and I am so thankful for my teacher for showing me the way and I am forever grateful to Takata for guiding me in Hawaii.

I went onto level 2 and after the attunements, I had a spiritual dream of being back in Hawaii with my husband, meeting with Takata and Usui. It was a wonderful dream that I will cherish.

I look forward to seeing where my journey with Reiki takes me as I continue to learn and work with the energy. I am excited to share our journey with others and allow healing where needed.
