What a year 2024 has been. Every year has its joys and challenges, and 2024 has been no different.
For me the year began with significantly more pain in an already compromised hip; a bush fire that saw me evacuate and some Heart Centred Reiki graduates impacted by losing their house. It is ending with a hip replacement in the new year and again fire, requiring me to evacuate twice with 2 pigs, 2 dogs and a pony. All putting additional stress on my emotions, and on my painful hip.
At times during the year, my hip was prominent in my thoughts and feelings. There was a short time when I stopped working because the pain was so bad; I had a sense of shame that I could help others with their pain, but not myself, and there were times when being positive, light, and love-filled seemed a long way away.
It turns out these were (some of) my big lessons for 2025 and I am incredibly grateful for them.
I was reminded of the importance of self-healing, without expectations for the result. This is so important for practitioners and the person receiving healing. Easy to say, important to remember. When we get this right, it all makes sense. We do not know how the healing works, and we cannot manipulate it. That is because we ourselves do not do the healing, we are the conduit being the universe and the recipient.
I could acknowledge the pain as it ebbed and flowed, but where the real healing lay was in myself. It was in my mood, my self-belief, my courage. It was my sense of humour, that I had managed to retain. And I realised that I get to see this in clients all the time as well. Energy healing helps them to deal with the issues in their life feeling gratitude, and living with grace.
It is humbling to seethe healing of others mirrored in my own healing! My lessons in 2024 will help me give the best services possible to all people and animals that come into my orbit in 2025.
Thank you for everything that you have done and been for me in 2024. Have an absolutely wonderful, prosperous, and healthy 2025.
