How To Truly Nourish Your Soul In A Challenging Time by YiYe Zhang

How To Truly Nourish Your Soul In A Challenging Time

✍🏻️ Like anyone who loves this world deeply and painfully, in recent years, I struggled with my practice of writing and art. With a heavy heart, on many occasions I could barely string a few sentences together.

Any challenging episode is like a spiritual, metaphorical Winter.

Chaos disrupts, yet simultaneously, it invites us to re-adopt the beginner’s mindset and fresh eyes, take a long journey to follow our roots, and deepen our craft, as a way to tend our spiritual garden.

🙏🏻 In the middle of the fertile void, perhaps a part in us can feel that the Dao is always present.

Sometimes, suffering and limitation become the agents of transformation.

If we willingly allow ourselves to enter the unknown, reaching down to our inner core, relinquishing our resistance to our deepest reservoir, we can find ourselves again – as a more nuanced and complete version.

After you have experienced breakdown of wholeness, after you’ve survived the chaos and crisis, after you’ve reintegrated yourself from the stone and cave, you are returning to wholeness in a different way.

And in this new episode of the Soul Medicine series, we’ll look into how to embrace our Dao and 5 ways to truly nourish our Soul during spiritual Winter.

Your Soul Purpose by Dr Linda Gladbois via linked in

Many people have trouble understanding what their “soul’s purpose” is in being born into a physical body that often seems governed by emotional impulses and animal instincts, where life seems to be happening to us instead of being created by us, yet our “true soul” is our higher mind which has the innate ability to master and govern our lower nature in order to exercise our ability to use our life experiences as the means of growing ourselves based on the internal processes set in motion by what appears as external circumstances that are actually providing us with a mirror into our own hidden nature . . . #soul #karma #selfmastery #selfcreation #transcendence #ascension #selfdevelopment #personaltransformation

Who am I

I want to share with you one of the questions that almost all of us have asked. The question is “Who am I?”

It’s a simple question but it has an infinite massive answer which cannot be simply described in our linguistic language that we can fully understand.

Who am I is a massive expansion of expression on this earth that is based on an individual’s experiences.

Whatever you define WHO AM I is, is truth for you at this level, at this moment of time. It can not be wrong. If you resist it, it becomes stronger.

I invite you to acknowledge it and celebrate it if it empowers you, but if it’s something that is in the way of you becoming the best you can be, transformation work or internal work is recommended to shift the blindspots of the subconscious so that you can have the clarity of your paths to propel forward and experience love, joy, and happiness.

The effect of distant reiki on pain in women after elective Caesarean section: a double-blinded randomised controlled trial 

Research using distant reiki to reduce pain following an elective C-section, randomised, double-blinded study, Results found  pain was not significantly different in the distant reiki and control groups,  no significant differences in opioid consumption or rate of healing; however, the distant reiki group had a significantly lower heart rate post surgery.

Although I thought this was disappointing, there are many different ways to send distant reiki and some are most likely more effective than others, so in this respect there would need to be more research using different techniques. Reiki practitioners also vary in their methods and training, so this indicates more research is required. It could be that this particular practitioners method was very good for relaxation but not for healing or pain relief.

Pranic Healing

Pranic means life force and the aim is to bring balance to the energy flow within the body.  When giving a treatment the Prantic healer first scans the body without touching, by sweeping their hands over it, about a foot or two away from it, to see if they can sense energy blockages or imbalances.  When they find an area that they want to work on, they work on that area and remove the negative energy.  When that is gone they send fresh life force energy to the body to bring health and positive energy to it.  They draw this energy from the sun, air, earth, trees, and other things in nature.  When this restortation happens in the body, it releases any negative emotional charge along with any dark energies that can cause disease.  

The benefits of pranic healing are: it reduces stress, anxiety and depression, it boosts self confidence, it helps to decrease panic attacks,  phobias and social anxiety.  It helps remove negative blockages and brings the body into balance.  It is healing for physical problems.  It makes you happier and more content.  It assists sleep.  It improves your immune system.  It helps people be more energetic.  It is good for spiritual development.  

Energy healing

Energy healing for healing of the body, physical health problems, to help remove toxins from the body and for pain relief.  To boost immunity.  I would use energy healing if someone has had an accident or operation to help the body to recover and heal quickly.  Energy healing can be good for any health conditions and medical problems and can be used along side medical treatments also.  It can assist the problems of all the organs in the body.  Someone does not need to know what health problem they have, if they feel run down and do not know the cause of the problem, I would use energy healing which will go to the source of the condition.  I would use energy healing for spiritual development and if someone wants to become more spiritual.  It is good for mental health as well, for relaxation, to reduce stress, anxiety, worries, depression, emotional problems.  To help recover from anger and hurt or grief and to help people to forgive and move on.  I would use energy healing to boost self confidence and for phobias.  If someone has sleep problems or has difficulty getting to sleep.  To improve cognitive abilities such as attention and decision making.  To help someone reach their goals.  To help someone release negative emotions and negative thinking.  To help someone who is unhappy and struggling with their life.  To help someone overcome emotional problems caused by the past, to release negative energy built up from past unhappiness and past difficulties.  To increase someone’s strength to cope.  Energy healing can also help to bring balance to people’s lives so if someone says their life is out of sync or they are unhappy and they want to make changes in their life, then I would use energy healing for them.  

Spiritual counselling

What is aromatherapy as it relates to spiritual counselling?

Aromatherapy is the use of essentail oils which can be burned for their scent to be inhaled or used combined with a base oil for massaging onto the skin or putting in the bath.  Essential oils go into the skin when they are used on the skin so their benefits can be profound.  With regard to spiritual counselling, there are oils which can be used to help connect someone to their soul more deeply, the scent of the oils resonates with our soul, there are essential oils which can be used to heal the soul and to help solve problems within it or the person’s spiritual journey,  there are essential oils with can assist spiritual growth and oils which can be used to help improve our emotional wellbeing.  Some oils help to manage one’s moods and part of this is our thoughts so they can help to relax and improve one’s emotions and thoughts from negative to positive, which is helpful to some people who come for spiritual counselling if they have anxiety or struggle to think positive.  Some oils help people be more spiritually open or to help them listen to the messages of the universe or their intuition.  So there are many oils which help in someone’s spiritual journey in various ways and help to reduce any problems which are a blockage to their journey and to reduce and assist problems in their life.

Aromatherapy can be combined with other spiritual counselling modes so it will boost their work/power as well.  A spiritual counsellor could make a blend of oils specially suited to the person’s particular needs and combine it with other modes of spritual counselling, so the person can use the oil at home, or it can be used which having the other modes of counselling.  For example some counsellors have the oil burning or diffusing which they are doing the counselling.  

Usui Reiki Ryoho level one

Usui Reiki Ryoho

Learn self healing and healing for friends and family, introduction to meditation, mindfulness, Reiki precepts, spiritual energy exercises,

You could start your reiki journey this spring. First degree, one to one training at same price as in a group.

Receive manual, cds, certificate. One day in person training

It’s good for spiritual development, which is an individual thing, but I give you some ideas of what this can mean on the day.  You learn  self healing and you can share reiki healing energy with family and friends.  There is an introduction to meditation and mindfulness, and the Reiki precepts.  You are given Reiki empowerments which help to improve someone’s connection to the energy and help you spiritually and for your spiritual journey, they also are good for the chakras as well.

Also on the day you learn how to feel the energy which is all around us and within us.  Learn how to self heal and some energy exercises/routines which you do sitting and thinking about things.  You don’t have to memorise anything, it’s all in the manual and on the cds, which I ‘sign post’ for you, where the healing exercises are in the manual as well.  So, level one is a lot about self healing and working on the self, and learning to feel the energy for yourself, and doing things which help you to feel it more, but you can also share Reiki with family and friends.  The self healing is for the physical but also for emotional and spiritual.  There is on going support and advice to do with Reiki as well.  The Level one is £160.  

Once someone has done the day course, you continue at your own pace, with what you learnt on the course.  The energy exercises and meditation can be done as it suits you, when you want to relax, or shut your eyes for a while or if you feel stressed or tired, then that is a good time to do them, or just when you want to relax for a bit.  Or anytime you feel like it.  So there is no pressure on the day or after it.

Usui Ryoho Reiki Level Two

I recommend students take at least two months after a level one course to become familiar with what they have learned before moving onto this Reiki level 2 course. The second level brings you further development for self healing, and healing of others so that as well as being more advanced in your knowledge, and understanding of Reiki. After level two you can work as a practitioner for the public as well. You learn how to work more intuitively with the energy and start using two new symbols, Seiheki and Honshazeshonen.

This event includes a manual, 2 cds, and certificate, there is some meditation exercises and reading for you to do prior to the online event. I post out a manual to your home address and tell you what you need to do for this.

When you book this event, I will need to send you a manual and cds via post, so I will require your address to post them to. Also, your certificate will be posted to your address.

Because this is one to one training, there is time to go through anything you have had difficulty with, and for questions. There are no tests and no need to make notes, everything is in the manual that you are sent. Very informal day so that we can relax, enjoy the day, refreshments as we need them.

Recent Review

‘I would just like to share this beautiful ladies reiki service that I have had the honour of recently taking part in. Sheila was so kind and accommodating to me she made the day fun and relaxing at the same time, gave me empowerments and attunements to be able to realise for myself that I had the power to channel many energies and heal myself and others. I would highly recommend this service to others as a reiki course, it was simply magical and life changing.’ M.C.

One to one Reiki Training

Are you wanting to start or continue your reiki journey. I teach Reiki one to one or in a group. If you have reiki training one to one, this is for the same price as in a group and on dates to suit you. The training is to suit your needs, and you can start training with me at any level. If you join after training first on another lineage, that’s fine, I help you to catch you up with anything that you didn’t do with myself at level one, if you join at level two, or if you join at level 3, then there are extra manuals and cds that you can have to show you what you might have missed.

Many people say that training in Reiki changes their life, and it definitely can do this. You can start a spiritual journey as well as a self healing journey with Reiki. If you have never meditated before, don’t worry, I help you to learn how to meditate, I have been meditating for about 30 years, and that is one of the main things which drew me to Reiki. When we learn Reiki we learn energy exercises and meditation, and when we do/be/share Reiki we meditate as well.

Mindfulness is part of Reiki training. Being mindful helps prevent stress and worries building up. When we meditate, we practice observing our thoughts without judgement and without criticising ourselves. And we learn to be more gentle with yourselves and less critical. Focusing on what we are doing in the present moment and being in that moment, fully appreciating this and fully focusing on what we are doing.

Reiki training with myself, you have my on going support for as long as you need it and this continues after you have finished training.

I live in Wakefield, Yorkshire, and travel for Reiki training to anywhere in Yorkshire. I am able to train you, if you are in another county as well, so do contact me with any questions. Sheila 07954 192916 or send me a message, or email
