For people who don't know I have 2 children a 4 year old and a 2 year old. Just recently during this time in quarantine we put them in the same room in a bunk bed. Before the shared room our 2 year old would go to sleep with no fuss...read a book, tuck her in and kiss goodnight bam sleeping. Our 4 year old required a much longer routine. Read a book with sis then read another book in her room in her bed. Then listen to a relaxation music, massage her feet and head, stay in bed with her until she fell asleep to then sneak away so she doesn't wake and start crying. It was exhausting and I always loved the cuddles and time but I was thinking of things I had to do or tv I wanted to watch. Which would usually lead to one of us, me or her dad getting fed up and angry yelling GO TO BED! Then crying and the whole thing starting over again.
Well now that they are in the same room and I have been dedicating myself to daily Healing Reiki and meditation I realized I've been doing it wrong this whole time! Now it looks more like this. Read a book tell a story get both girls comfy then go through a relaxation meditation guided by me. The 2 year old takes longer for her to get in the groove but its working!! We focus on grounding ourselves and sending and receiving loving energy. We also go through a golden light healing meditation where I connect with with them to send healing energy. I focus on me receiving healing and sending it back out. Sure sometimes I slip up and get annoyed but I just say hey we need to do more breathes and go back to focus. It has made me feel 1,000 times better about EVERYTHING in my life. Not only do I get to teach my children these special gifts I also benefit from them by healing myself in return.
Reiki healing and Meditation has been known to help children, adults and animals. You can even do it on children as young as 1 day old. It is safe and proven to be effective. The New England of Naturopathic Health writes "The calming practice of Reiki can benefit children by promoting relaxation and confidence. Learning about and utilizing Reiki at a young age promotes a healthy way of living throughout their lives, helping children make better choices and create balance."
I can't wait to see what this evolves into as we all grow mind, body and soul! Please reach out to me if you would like more info about Reiki Healing for your child or yourself.
Love & Light to you!
