Reiki is my favorite healing modality. I start my day out with Reiki before I get out of bed, and if I wake up from a bad dream, I put my hands on my chest and say, "Reiki on". I also use EFT (tapping) on a daily basis to bring myself back into alignment. Sometimes it takes so little to take me out of it! But, I am finding I am able to get back a lot quicker than before. I appreciate you sharing your journey!

Nice to hear from you, Shannon! “Reiki on” might just be my two favorite words. 😀 I know a lot of people get relief with tapping, too. They are both great practices and it sounds like you are building resilience. Getting back quicker has been a long-term goal of mine- it makes all the difference.

One of the many things I love about this is your advocacy for self-accountability and agency - also the recognition that we each have far more choice over our internal state, and the filter through which we experience self and the world, than a lot of external (and perhaps internal) messaging would have us believe. Beautiful essay, Pamela!

Thank you Dana! Piercing the veil of illusion that hides our agency is the ultimate rebellion, in my eyes. And perhaps the most important thing I’ve ever done.
