Influence of Energetic Bodywork at a critical time- a personal experience
My own amazing experience with Reiki healing has thrust me back into a regular and focused personal practice. I had never been so diligent with it before. Life events it seems organize themselves to propel you toward a path you were meant to follow - you feel this deep urge to live your life in a certain vocation, in a certain relationship, you find yourself drawn and deeply influenced by a certain path - and with intellectual rationalization you probably talked yourself out of it. I realized that the hard way. Having always been metaphysically oriented I knew I must incorporate the practices I had had the good fortune of learning into my routine to help with issues. When the Universal Energy is telling you something in a small reminders its best to listen than be confronted by dramas that turn life upside down for you to follow its instruction.
In November, 2001 my first child, a little baby daughter was born. I had a lovely, trouble-free pregnancy with the normal share of discomforts. Everyone, including my doctor wondered about my big belly. She even had me sent in for a couple of extra ultrasounds to gauge why I maybe larger than the average size for the last few months of the gestation. Apparently, everything was fine. Nothing to worry about. Nobody told me I had a first baby that was probably too big !
My little daughter loved every bit of her stay inside. She came a few days later than expected and had me in knots. The last few, about six to seven, years of my life had been undulating periods of ups and downs. The year I was expecting her I think my grandmother's and mother's advice for a good pregnancy and child held heavy weight and I made conscious decisions not to argue about silly things with my husband, to let the little things go, to keep myself in a happy state of mind, listen to soulful music, cook wholesomely and spend quiet reflective time with my baby. A by product of it all was that I began to write reams and reams of fiction and non-fiction. My writing ability seemed to have all but vanished after I had left college. All creative power comes from contacting the silence within you and I had so distracted myself with the razzmatazz of modern living that I had completely severed any remaining connection I had with it. My childhood had regular times for prayer, meditation and simply silence for being. All that had disappeared in my current way of life.
