As all my students know - I suffered from fibromyalgia since my pregnancy with my daughter in 2005, until about 2011. I can say now (2013) that I have not had symptoms for over a year and a half - and this is how I did it!
1) I listened very closely to what my body was telling me about the things I was putting in it:
Reiki was the catalyst for this. After my level 2 attunement I became very aware of my food allergies and began changing my diet to better suit my body's needs. Learning to tune into my body was a great blessing from Reiki.
2) I listened to what my body was asking for:
I have noticed major shifts and personal growth after each attunement (level 2 and higher). I have learned to recognize poor habits, and self destructive activities and thought patterns I was under taking (not resting enough, not allowing enough time to heal, not trusting my gut, not listening to my guides, not putting myself first, not asking for what I needed, not speaking up for my truths, not making my own values and beliefs important).
A lot of meditation, introspection, and evaluation of the relationships around me was required for this!!! Reiki helped me to feel confident, secure and supported through these shifts. I used symbol meditations, guided meditations, and self treatments - as well as treatments from friends to get balanced as I worked through all of this.
I also used the Reiki Moon Rituals regularly for about a year to release negative patterns. This process was amazing!
3) I learned to accept myself as a healer, and then as a teacher - and then to step into these roles in love and trust. Obviously Reiki has been a huge part of that journey!
I don't believe I would be where I am today had I not had Reiki to support me on my journey. It's ever present love and nurturing help me to push through the hard times - and sometimes to simply let go and ride the wave to the next shore.
Using the tools I've obtained through Reiki has allowed me to heal much more quickly, to work through processes in a more gentle, yet deeper manner and to come out of the process having learned a lot about myself, the people around me and the unseen world that supports (and sometimes hinders) us.
I hope that you will use reiki as well to work through your own healing journey.
