Personal Challenges

Most of you know I've taken a long sabbatical as a Reiki Master/Life Coach/Yogini since I was struck down by a mystery illness that left me nearly bedridden for most of a year. I felt it was not only destroying my body but my ability to heal others and teach... since I couldn't even heal myself. Talk about feeling like a failure! So, I closed my doors... But what was really happening? Now, in hindsight since fighting the battle and winning, Im stronger mentally, physically, and spiritually than I ever was before. I was/am still healing deep spiritual wounds that caused internal illness that was finally diagnosed as Psoriatic Arthritis. I would have never faced the mental, emotional, and physical traumas that I allowed to manifest in my refusal to face the shit I'd turned my back on , ran from, and buried. Without the manifestation of serious illness, I wouldn't have become as strong as I currently am...I would never become as strong as I am yet to become. Aside from tarot reading at Ohio Rennaisance Festval and reiki for some longstanding clients who have accepted and understood my struggles and believed in me anyway, I'm not quite ready to again don the Healer Cloak professionally but looking over the last few years, I know I never really ever took it off :) Thank you dear friends who have continued to come to my door... 🙌 "....people do not reali(z)e how much self and internal training a healer has to go through to become an effective healer. And most of the time the training becomes part of the lifestyle of the healer, because the healer understands what it takes to become whole on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
