A few of you have asked me how I've come to do the work I'm doing now. Well, let me explain - about 3 years ago my mother was diagnosed with shingles. She lives in the North East and I live in North Carolina. With two young kids and still nursing a baby, you can understand my difficulty in helping her recover. In fact, all I could do was pray and google stuff. I ended up googling everything natural and holistic I could find to send to her. In the process I learned that healing happens from both the inside and outside with intention. It's holistic - the WHOLE person.At the same time, I heard a voice in my head say, "You know what to do, just do it." So I did. I started walking everyday and eating vegetables all day. In the midst of all this, when it came time to re-enroll for health care and I looked at our out of pocket expenses to prepare for enrollment, my jaw dropped. We had spent almost $7000.00 in co pays and deductibles over the year. INSANE!
I took it upon myself to learn everything and anything I could to save money on health care and that meant changing my life and the lives of my family members. What started simply enough turned into a complete overhaul. It was a gradual processes which has included honesty, patience and love.
Enter spirituality. Holistic means treating the whole person - not just the body, but the mind, heart and soul of a person. God had it all lined up for me. Next thing I knew I was getting attuned to Reiki. Now I'm attuning others and teaching others to live holistically as they continue on their journey.
I had NO IDEA where God was leading me when I first started this journey. It bothered me some, but in hindsight I see all I had to do was trust Him, follow the feel good feeling and push past my fear and doubts. I offer you this story because my journey, as is true for many others, was filled with doubts. Am I doing the right thing? Will it be successful? Is this a waste of time? Do I really hear angels? The answer is yes to all of those doubting questions.
Doubts are God's way of slowing us down to experience the lesson fully. So the lesson can be completely integrated into our being. We think that doubts hold us back, but they don't. Doubts force us to evaluate each option fully. If the option serves us, we can thank them for showing up and release them. If we are not ready, then honor them and just sit tight. The answers come - they always do.
