Reiki for Kids

I’ve come to realize that the work I put forth in bettering myself has no ending. Once I discover something new about myself I’m called to do the work, healing old traumas for myself first and for my family second. I choose to accept the emotions, lean in and dance with them. The uncomfortable feelings that come up for me happen often, but I’m feeling empowered by my daily courage, in my ability to feel scared and do it anyway!  

I was recommended by a friend to reach out to Tracy Marshall, a Reiki Master and Empowerment Coach. I was happy to discover Tracy is a genuine human with the added bonus of a voice of an angel. Her Irish accent was engaging, I can honestly listen to this woman talk for hours. Reiki was a completely foreign philosophy to me. Even still I consciously decided to go into the experience with an open mind, having no expectations. I feel that this was a quintessential component to my positive personal experience. Tracy spent time getting to know me, and what I was looking to work on during our first session. Tracy helped me understand the purpose of Reiki as a healing energy source, and we focused on letting go of past programming. But I spent a good portion of my first session trying to focus my attention back to the present moment. My mind kept thinking of all the people that would greatly benefit from this type of healing. One person being my youngest daughter. I would describe her as an empath. Even at a young age she would intuitively pick up on other people’s feelings and then take them on as her own. Being an empath is a beautiful thing, but being able to unhook from other people can be challenging. My daughter’s anxiety can also be heightened, making it difficult for her to focus. Tracy created a comfortable environment, and within only a few minutes my daughter fell asleep. I remained in the room, as Tracey’s hovering hands scanned over my daughter’s body. Tracy found stagnant energy on her right side, which can indicate a burden of grief and anger. This wasn’t surprising given some of our family turbulence. Having this knowledge gives me insight to how my daughter is feeling, even if she’s not able to communicate it just yet. I’m able to show up with compassion to help guide my daughter, giving her the tools now will only give her more power in how she shows up for herself presently and in the future.  I would highly recommend giving yourself or someone you love the gift of Reiki. 

I would love to have more conversations on this topic, so please reach out if you would like to share your experience or want to learn more.
