Yesterday I signed up for a Reiki session at Wellspring. It was a very good experience! They offer 3 sessions in total for cancer patients/survivors, which is so great. I imagine to pay for this at a spa or something could be pricy.
Reiki is a program designed to help restore the body's natural and healthy flow of energy, and provides a relaxing experience that enhances one's sense of well-being. Basically you lie on a massage table, and the practitioner does a sort of therapeutic touch, on your face, arms, legs and feet. It is about an hour long session.
It feels almost spiritual in how it works. I don't really understand how it works but I did feel my energy shift through the session. At first it took me some time to really relax. I cried a bit at the beginning. I know I keep tension in my body, and in that tension there is a lot of sadness too so I think it just had to be let out. I thought alot about my cousin Carmen for the first part of the session to be honest. I think I buried a lot of the grief for her as I dealt with my own battle with cancer, and that all came to the surface. I thought about her and Angel together. As the session went on, I started to have more positive thoughts, I was able to let go of some of the sad energy, I had visions of my future. Towards the end, I felt like my body was buzzing with good energy. It felt like my body had a green aura, and my brain was relaxed and clear.
I get it might take a leap of faith to understand this and believe it helps people, but it did for me! I had one of the best sleeps in a long, long time last night. I think I will have to do it again.
