why is it so hard to ask for myself?

Dear Reiki friends,
Over the last year I have come to the Reiki Cafe to be a part of a community of Reiki healers... I have read, learned much, and always gone through the healing requests and sent Reiki for as many of them as my time allowed.

I have struggled with asking you to send reiki healing to me. However, I am at an emotional low, struggling with unresolved childhood issues, a bumpy spot in our marriage, poor anger/frustration management, 2 strong willed kids(and wonderful) butting heads with me, and a trying to break a destructive habit I have slipped into..

I feel like an emotional wreck... and very much alone.

Thanks for all your support, I know it is time for me to learn to ask for help.

Namaste a Working Angel,

Im so glad you asked , as to heal one self is also to heal others, as we shift and heal, so do our relationships and everyone. Im sorry to hear of the temporary bumps along the journey, on the other side is greater strength, awareness and light. I will send Reiki now and include you in Reiki practices . I wish for you and yours, peace, love , healing and joyous blessings. Your welcome to ask anytime.. you are dearly loved, and appreciated.


Reiki Blessings, love,

Namaste,

Yes, I can truly understand how it is to find it difficult to ask for yourself. It is a rather humbling experience, isn't it? But oh so healing too.

Reiki and prayers on their way for as long as you need/want.

May you have peace, harmony, wisdom, and love to be your companions during this time, and always,

Blessings to you, and yours
Dina

My dear Working Angel,

In the time of coldness, is the barren ground just the ground? Is it dirty or muddy when wet, a nuisance to clean up after?

Dare to look closer and give it time, beauty will spring forth from it in the time of warmth.

Look for the flowers... (Warm hug)

Thank you for your kind words to me regarding my uncle. His service was the most beautiful I have ever attended. It gave all great comfort.

Reiki right back 'atcha!

Namaste,
Remember your blessings :-)
And more blessings to you today, all day
Light and Love,
Mammabear

Dearest Angel,
*hugs you warmly, surrounding you in violet, healing energies, calming, soothing, loving you*****

Love and Light going out to you as long as needed.

I love you and Please, Please ask for healing anytime you like, this is a board about supporting and nurturing, not about whom is strongest. Only through trusting, and allowing ourselves to be weak sometimes can we truly move past this need to feel like we need nothing 'ever'. We do need sometimes and this is the beauty. You ARE always surrounded by love and you are always supported. Know that this outpouring of love is only a reminder of what truly lies within you.. ALL LOVE.

Don't be afraid,
Love yourself,
Love the World


Om Shanti

Namaste aWorkingAngel!

Taking a moment to remind you, how special you are...
a few weeks ago you warmly welcomed someone new to ReikiCafe, and Reiki1. Feeling shy yet knowing what I feel in my heart, expressing thoughts in words doesn't come as easy, your words too were warm and encouraging!
So, sending you now a very joyful and thankful {{{hug}}}!

Blessings for all the Reiki being sent to request.
The warmth, compassion, and love being sent from the heart of Reiki1 practioners is there too. Prayers, compassion, hope has an energy I do believe.

Dearest aWorkingAngel, though things look like a mountain sometimes...when looked at differently...its not quite so big. Remember to be kind to yourself.

many people know of a childhood issue,this is what helped me (that several times over the many years had tried to let go), started with help of a dear friend, we started to "walk thru" a healing converstaion about having been sexually molested , there was a lot of mental resistance on my part, so I backed out of that topic,& we talked of other things. Some while later, this wonderful friend asked me about the "other" horse she saw with me, (giggle,sigh,it took awhile)...eventually though I had bright idea...to give that area of childhood a "nickname". In journaling, and typing in a "private" room, sort of snuck up on the issue, so over several weeks took this nickname...on a personal journey, showing her a little at a time,(with gentle patience) that there is more to life than "then",to come out and look, and that she is loved, When I got home from work one night, out of the blue, with a realease of tears and so many emotions, there was a healing for me,so heartfelt,and a letting go from deep inside.

(Smile),it is a wonderful circle here! You are not alone!

One night after spending some quiet time at the mesg boards, peeked in chat room, to my (delighted!) surprise, found there is a waterfall too!!! No one else in chat room, so wandered to waterfall, feeling overwhelmed with the mountain I see. Aworkingangel, if you like waterfalls, do take a look! It is so beautiful!!!! The flowing water,like an energy,the gentle peacefulness around, all of a sudden tears were just running down my cheeks, then... it felt like all the ones at the message boards,the sharing, asking, healing, were there too!

It sure is a great feeling, to not feel alone!
Wishing you a moment for yourself, dear friend, to "recharge" your energy, for a new day.

thank you for being who you are,
from my heart to yours, many special moments to you!

Love and Light
to you, your family,
all around

Oh Friends,
Thank you for all your outpouring of support... I'm glad I found the courage to ask for your help. It has helped.

So many kind thoughtful words, and Reiki deeds! I have re-read your posts, cried and was encouraged to be so 'held'.

Last Thursday evening, after posting this message (feeling miserable), I was preparing myself to receive a pre-arranged long distance treatment when suddenly I knew that there were many many beings giving to me. I was simply filled with gratitude and amazement at the power of all of you.

Please keep me on your lists, I still am not through all this.

and, Thanks.
a Working Angel
