A Beginning to Self Acceptance for a Reiki Healer

Article by Durga Pillai

Reiki is the Divine Energy that resides within every living being in the Universe. Our Divine Energy is either empowered or depleted right from the moment our soul is created. It’s the quality of our intentions, thoughts and actions that decide the quality of our lives in every birth. Today, healers of the world are spreading light through oneness and collective transmutation of themselves. It’s crucial for every Reiki healer to accept themselves and their soul’s journey through the path of Light and Love. In order to stand up for the Divine Truth, you’ll have to accept your own truth within yourself first. It helps you ground and balance your highest potential for the highest good of the Universe, at large.

As a Reiki healer, I believe that every intent, thought or action could set a ripple of consequences within and around each of us. Rather than labelling them as good or bad, it’s helpful to accept yourself as you are at this exact moment. A Reiki healer could at times experience unsettling energy imbalances. I’ve experienced such instances during my own Reiki self-healing practices. More often, I sought the help of Reiki by meditating on the Reiki symbols, especially Reiki Symbol 1.

I’ve realized over the last couple of years that whenever I got entangled or emotionally connected to a client’s situation I’ve created imbalances within and around me. During my meditation and Reiki self-healing practices I learnt that I’m projecting my deep-seated insecurities into my reality. I slowly grew my awareness to my life patterns and it helped me practice a deeper level of self-acceptance.

A message to me from Reiki Symbol 1 – “You cannot run or hide from your insecurities, life experiences and memories that pleasant or unpleasant. So, you might as well embrace and accept them as they are. Once you’re ready to learn from your past and pain, you’re free to live the present. You’re free to create the future you want to live.”

Here are a few learnings from my own Reiki healing practice:

• It’s perfectly okay to not know all the answers to your client’s questions. It’s not necessary for a healer to know everything and be everything at all times.
• It’s definitely your free will to either respond to a healing request or politely refuse to a client. You can always silently pray for the client and still honour your private space and intuition.
• It’s absolutely necessary to protect yourself at all times before, during and after a healing session and even while you’re not healing but consulting for a client.
• It’s highly crucial that you’re as detached as possible from the client, their problems and their results after the healing sessions.
• Your faith and willingness to serve is what sets you apart from those who don’t heal. Do not judge others for choosing a different life path for their soul’s journey is different.

To trust yourself more, you’ll need to start with accepting yourself just the way you are. Transformation is inevitable, then.
