Path to the Reiki Acedemy
There were several factors that has shifted my perception in the way I saw life and how rewarding it was to help others whether individuals, employers, family friends but one of the most important factor was that my mother was starting Alzheimer and Dementia and I realized that my mother needed full time care attention and love. This was a turning point in my life and wanted to know the source of this disease how to help and how to prevent. At the same time I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and had to undergo breast surgery followed by radiation in 2017.
I could not take care of my mother full time at home as she lived with us, but I had to undergo my treatments and had a healing journey to pursue. I had to place my mother at a CHSLD which was quite painful as it was the first time we separate. One thing I promised to her is to see her every day and give her quality time I saw the suffering and lack of love compassion in these residences and learned a lot. I started to help my mother with breathing techniques and gave her Reiki on a daily basis did movements and made her listen to frequencies and music and danced and sang with her. A lot of neighbor’s nurses joined our nightly gathering which cheered them up and some were waiting daily for my presence.
All the teaching I have learned and certificates I have earned have come to serve me at these critical moments. It gave me love, strength, compassion, know how, experience. I was helping some with their pain and others with their anxiety but specially helping my mother with her mood and pain. One thing I could say doctors were amazed on how she did it that long with always a smile on her face.
I also started reading, following courses on prevention of Alzheimer’s and Breast Cancer. I have a lot of knowledge, and compassion to teach and guide people in this area. It was an awakening journey.
The path of Natural healing and alternative medicine was so rewarding. I earned my Reiki Grand Master Certificate in September 2016 followed with meditation classes, tapping, nutritional classes, sound frequencies, reflexology, massage, eye movement technique, Pranayama breathing, Bengston method and more.
