For as long as I can remember, I felt out of pace with life. It seemed unnatural to move so quickly, always trying to get to the next task on the list. I preferred spending time in nature where the plants flourished with ease. I believe that people should also be able to experience such a simple and peaceful existence. This belief led me to the study of religion and psychology. Spiritual teachings point to the possibility of living life in a harmonious way, supported by an invisible force that desires the best for all. Psychology taught me how to recognize subconscious patterns that get in the way of receiving this support.
Of course, my ideals didn't always fit in with my reality. We must all grow up and adjust to the expectations that society puts on us; right? That is certainly what I thought for many years. As a working mother, I allowed the pressures of life to overwhelm me. In the meantime, my body, mind and spirit became increasingly unhealthy. I finally reached a point where I no longer recognized myself when I looked in the mirror. I knew I had to stop living the life everyone else said I needed to live. I had to find me again.
I quit my job and took a leap of faith believing that if I made health and happiness a priority, everything else would fall into place. I listened to my instincts and spent the days doing what my gut told me to do. By simply continuing to put one foot in front of the other, trusting that I was headed in the right direction, I regained my health and found answers I didn't even know I was seeking. I did the difficult work of releasing past traumas. I started to feel my energy body and my intuition became stronger. I took the obvious next step of becoming a Reiki Master. All along the way, my academic knowledge of religion and psychology informed my experience. Adding the study of astrology to my repertoire gave me insight into a more energetic understanding of each individual’s life journey. Through Present Grace Healing, I am honored to do the work of encouraging others to live within their own graceful rhythm.
