Veronika taught a Reiki 1 group class at
Crystal Rock Healing https://www.crystalrockproducts.com/
in Sioux Falls, SD
Darin and I attended together we spent the day with a group of 7 students and Veronika our instructors. We learned Reiki 1 principles, history, lineage and application throughout the day.
Up to this point I had been working on meditation on my own. Starting with simple things like quietly enjoying coffee in the morning with the sunshine on my face for 5 minutes. Through working with Tiffany I became more accountable to practice and I started looking for more out of it. I watched Teachings of Ram Dass on Gaia and his words triggered something inside of me. I needed to find a stillness in my mind, to stand beside the pain, drama, heart ache stress and observe it. Be a conscious observer of the human experience. Use the lenses of joy and humor to observe and respond rather than reacting.
I was open and ready to learn a new practice. The actual attunement
I was last in the line of 6 with Darin to my left.
I peaked at her technique while everyone else had their eyes closed. There was a lot of focused breathing and energy movement Veronika asked each person if they were ready to accept the Reiki attunement and began at the head working down the body
One by one down-the-line, Darin received his attunement and now it was my turn
I felt the hair stand on the back of my neck and there was a pounding of energy radiating from my shoulders and back as she approached she began at my Crown working down, we were both breathing deeply when our breath caught in sync. My heart had a weight I was ready to release, I hunched forward in my chair and began to weep letting go hurt and I motioned for her to pause.
The pain was emotional which has a different frequency than physical pain.
With another deep breath at the coaching of Veronica I let it go.
Everything started to open up and flow freely. My heart was light, my mind was open and Reiki was a cleansing experience.
