My awakening

My awakening.

It was roughly a year ago when I finally had it shown to me in no uncertain terms that there's more to this world than meets the eye.
I'd always hoped it was so, and almost believed it but my logical mind needed proof beyond any doubt.

When I look back now I can see so many situations and people I've come across in life that could've been the catalyst. My ex-partner dabbled in witchcraft and runes, my good friend who used to get up to all sorts of strangeness she refused to tell me much about because I'd think she was mad, even when I saw her stop the rain and manifest a petrol station when we were running out in foreign lands it was all just coincidence to my logical mind.
Another good friend was a Reiki master and was able to pinpoint my broken bones without touching me. Impressive, but still I clung on to the old safe notion that reality was the physical world I could see and touch. Maybe there was life after death but I was going to have to die to find out. I was prepared to wait.

And so I carried on with life as I knew it until my flatmates new friend arrived to stay and in the space of an hour changed my life forever.

She was a Reiki master, healer, spiritual adventurer and more besides and after a week of staying with us giving Reiki treatments and tarot readings to all those interested I decided I may as well join in. The day before she was due to leave I suggested she might give me a Reiki session, just to see what happened... Can't do any harm I told myself.

So I lay down on our couch while she did her stuff and didn't feel much happening apart from becoming deeply and pleasantly relaxed. She said I might feel a bit spaced out for a while afterwards and sure enough I floated around for the rest of the night but still not aware of any real changes.

I awoke the next morning after the best nights sleep I'd had in years and everything was different, I even looked different people said. I felt wonderful, like never before and realized that throughout my life I had never been truly happy until that morning.

This was the moment of my conscious awakening and when I look back now I can see it was meant to happen this way.Choices I've made which led me to meet certain people, right back to the way we moved around the country when I was a small child, it all led up to my being in the right place and time to meet the right person.

For the two or three weeks previously I'd been feeling a new sensation in what I now know to be my heart chakra. It felt like a small flickering flame which would suddenly light up inside me. Part of me knew what was coming it seems now.

So after such a dramatic awakening I took my Reiki one and two attunements and read a pile of books on energy, manifestation, creation, quantum theory and so on and am continuing to unfold slowly but surely.

I have a long way to go and much to learn but I'm grateful for having been guided here so I might continue my learning (remembering?) and hopefully help others do the same... Thank you Jade for bringing me here :-)

Thanks for reading and peaceful blessings to you all
