"I don't have time for Reiki"
One of the common excuses I get when I ask friends/potential clients about trying Reiki is “I’m too busy” or “I’ll do it when life calms down|is less crazy”. I’m getting this often enough I decided to do a post about my feelings on this.
Firstly, self care is crucial to a successful life. Much like paying yourself first for savings goals or retirement, self care works in a similar way. My life has drastically changed for the better once I started making taking care of myself #1 priority. This includes morning meditations, self Reiki, physical fitness and being more aware of the substances and food I put into my body. I’ve found there are a million distractions and stressors that will gladly come into to fill that time unless I front load my day with things that are good for my well being.
Secondly, taking care of yourself sends a powerful message to those around you and the Universe that your well being is more important than their other bullshit. Realistically, how can you expect someone else to put you first if YOU are unwilling to YOU first?!?
Lastly, as mentioned in the Reiki service description (https://www.theskybeckons.com/reiki-1) Reiki actually helps reduce stress and tension, helps you work through emotional issues that may be holding you back, in addition to clearing the mind and bringing focus. These benefits can actually open space for you in your life to figure out new ways of dealing with life’s challenges and stresses and it stems from self care and putting your wellness first. I practice regular self Reiki and see my Reiki healer monthly (and additionally as needed when I feel I need the boost or life is out of whack).
