TMFJ REIKI

I started looking into ways to practice self care as I realized that is critical to my well being not only in my personal life, but also in my professional life. I learned about Reiki from both Jennifer A and Jennifer B (the “Jenns!) I began with Reiki sessions once a month and having my slippers infused with Reiki, so that would be another way to have Reiki incorporated in my daily life. I began feeling such a difference with the positive impact both of these had on me. The Jenns shared I may want to explore Reiki training as another way to continually incorporate Reiki in my life. I have taken both Reiki 1 and 2 training with the Jenns, which has given me more powerful tools to bring positivity, good energy, and reduce anxiety in my life. The Jenns always create such an open, welcoming and accepting environment in all they do. I appreciate them sharing their gifts and bringing this into my life. 

For me, the reiki babies provide comfort and a way for me to send energy to the baby and then hold and feel that energy into my heart. I have several reiki babies, and each one represents a different part of who I am. As a child, I had a bunny rabbit that I just loved, and it provided much security and comfort. My mother threw it away because it got holes in it without asking me, and I felt a grief and loss over this that was tramatic for my 5 year old self. As an adult, I've found several reiki babies that speak to me and provide comfort, as I mentioned, but also various support any areas of my spiritual and personal growth. My first reiki baby is a purple sloth called Phoenix. This baby speaks to my inner little girl and has supported my healing from childhood memories and grief. Then there's Shakira, my grey wolf, who is helping with my communication and security with myself and others. Last, I finally found a purple bunny rabbit to replace the one my mother threw away. Atlas/Alice fills the part of me that relates to him/her/they pronouns. I have always felt different and not just about one thing in my life. I just want to be who I feel like, and at the time, Atlas/Alice helps provide this security for me to be who I feel that I am. Reiki babies are helping me love who I am and feel security and comfort in my skin.
