How to believe in Reiki??
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

I am a nurse. Very black/white brain. Not good with abstract thoughts. Atheist. Iā€™ve always been very into science and facts. Iā€™ve begun a sort of spiritual journey recently and Iā€™ve realized Iā€™m very in-tune with my energy and I think I have a good sense of othersā€™. Iā€™m getting certified in reiki 1 and 2 this weekend. Iā€™m going in with an open mind and open heart. But Iā€™m having trouble letting go and being ā€œall inā€ when some stuff seems so ā€œwoo wooā€ or doesnā€™t have scientific evidence. I really WANT to believe but Iā€™m having trouble.

I wouldnā€™t say uplifted. I did feel some physical sensations like my forehead and ears getting tight and warm. But afterwards my headspace was about the same.

Thatā€™s kind of my plan. Try not to get caught up in the little things that I donā€™t know if I believe in, and just listen. Tonight I had a session with the person whoā€™s teaching me and she spoke about seeing a silverback gorilla within me and that I should look into that. I donā€™t even know what that means šŸ˜¬

I appreciate that. I do really believe and understand actual reiki. Which is why Iā€™m wanting to learn more. But, for example, I had a session tonight and the practitioner mentioned seeing the ā€œold Ronald McDonaldā€ and a ā€œsilverback gorillaā€ during my session and Iā€™m not really sure how to interpret that šŸ¤” she also spoke of Mother Earth changing and new plant and animal species coming into existence. Thatā€™s the stuff I struggle to wrap my brain around.

Yeah I think I just have to get used to remembering that not everything has to make sense or have an explanation in order for me to accept it

Thatā€™s helpful. Thank you!

I should clarify that I do believe and understand actual reiki. But, for example, I had a session tonight and the practitioner mentioned seeing the ā€œold Ronald McDonaldā€ and a ā€œsilverback gorillaā€ during my session and Iā€™m not really sure how to interpret that šŸ¤” she also spoke of Mother Earth changing and new plant and animal species coming into existence.
