reiki magic
In 2019 I showed up in Sayulita held together by a thread. We had commited to leading a retreat months earlier and I couldn’t anticipate that our son, who was with us likely temporarily through foster care, would have a huge hearing after some very unexpected twists and turns. Scary for him, scary for us.
Matt pushed me out the door, said he’d be there at court and that I had to go. I kissed our beautiful boy goodbye and prayed with everything I had that he’d be there when I got home.
When I arrived I asked my friend Audra, who’d made the move to Sayulita after one of our retreats, if she knew of anyone who could help me find peace. Anything, anything at all.
She said Reiki with Andrea.
I scoffed. I felt like I needed much more than that. Like send me to Jupiter, to a Shaman, to the middle of the ocean. But not Reiki.
I was so wrong. I walked my skeptical ass into the session, laid down and surrendered completely. Something shifted in me that I feel to this day.
During that trip I dropped into Reiki over and over again and stopped by this church here to pray, beg, bargain daily. By the end of the trip I was doing less bargaining and offering more gratitude.
I prayed for the highest good for Angel. Whether that was with us or not. And I meant it.
I’ve led four retreats since that March of 2019, and many before that, and I always make time to receive more Reiki healing from Andrea.
A couple of weeks before the retreat I asked Miki for a sign that we would be okay. And I asked for that sign to be a hummingbird. Nothing came. The weather changed. But I kept asking.
On my way to lead the retreat I looked up and a beautiful beaded hummingbird gleamed in front of me, dangling from the driver’s rear view mirror. And a few days after that, as I followed Andrea to the palapa for Reiki, a red flower fell at my feet. Andrea said “Well, that was certainly meant for you.” No less than five minutes later a red hummingbird appeared, flitting about, a few feet away from me.
I received so many messages and so much healing — thru quiet, ocean waves, deep conversations and laughs, many tears.
Thank you for the healing, Sayulita. You always provide the medicine I need.
