Worthiness ... Investing money in our healing

Worthiness ... What is necessary to bring someone peace and healing? What is necessary for us to get to that place of healing that we need? The first step in the healing process is awareness. The past month we've spoken about awareness of our physical body, our emotional and energetic bodies, how those systems work and ways that Reiki can support our healing on all those levels. Next, there is worthiness. We have to feel worthy of healing. We have to feel that we deserve to put time, effort, money and resources aside for this process ... for our own healing and wellness. Last week we talked about time, more specifically putting aside time for our wellness ... time for treatments, time with a therapist, time for massages, time for energy healing or meditation. Whatever the practices are that resonate with you for your healing ... are you making time for them?

The next component to worthiness is how we allocate our money. This has been another really tough one for me, maybe even more so than time. It's another piece to consider in terms of worthiness and where we're spending our money ... where are we prioritizing our money? I think our society has an opinion on where our money should go. I think us parents often wouldn't bat an eye at spending $500 or even more for a sports program for our kids, but if we were to spend anywhere near that amount for a coaching program or treatments something for our own healing or wellness, we may consider it frivolous or unnecessary.

Another piece of the money conversation is our spending habits. If we were to add up all the money you spend at restaurants or things like that. When you have that hesitation when you go to spend money on yourself, for your wellness (healthy meal prep foods, etc.) maybe we can just stop for a minute and think about the long term investments of our money. Also, think about if we feel worthy of spending this money on ourselves ... think about what the investment of this money will bring to me in the long run.

So I would like to encourage you to think about that. Think about that you are a beautiful divine being, and deserve everything ... deserve all the happiness, peace, and wellness that you can get. So, that's not an easy one for us to remember, but remember that love and care that you want to give to everyone else. Let's remember ourselves in that equation as well.

Worthiness ... Time for Healing

We've talked previously about the awareness of our body, our physical body, emotional, energetic bodies, all that it entails. I talked a little bit about how Reiki can help on all levels on all three of those levels and even in ways that we don't realize. In addition to awareness, we also need to feel worthy. I think many of us struggle with the worthiness of healing. Do we deserve to have this healing? This may not be on a conscious level, but if we felt worthy, then would we put the time aside for it? So I feel like that's the first part of the worthiness right is using our time. How do we prioritize our time? What are we allocating time for and who or what is at the top of the list? If we really are in search of healing ... if we really are in search of something more and better for ourselves ... if we want to be free of pain ... if we want to move forward with goals ... if we want to heal from past issues that we've been hanging on to, then maybe worthiness is the place to visit. Are we worthy enough to receive healing for ourselves? Do we deserve to put this time aside for ourselves every day, every week, every month towards our healing?

Addressing our healing can take place in many forms. I just wanted to put that out there today and see your thoughts. Maybe it's time to check in with your worthiness, check in with what might be stopping you for prioritizing your healing, prioritizing time for yourself each day. It might be time to schedule a doctor's visit, schedule a massage, an counseling appointment or maybe an appointment with an energetic Reiki healing practitioner ... whatever it is that you feel like might be on your healing path right now. Are you putting that time aside for you and what you need? If not, maybe it is something to think about in terms of worthiness. Do I feel worthy enough for this or are others more important than my own healing than my own well being? This might be a tough question. I send this message out with all the love in the world, because it is something that I also need to constantly look at and address myself. I know that you nurturing, loving, giving people want everyone else to be well and we want them to feel loved.

There was a message that came through on one of my morning messages from spirit ... "Heal thyself, heal the world". I think a very important message to remember that if we do want to heal the world and help everyone starting from within, is first. Really starting to address our issues, give ourselves the love and compassion that we deserve, and provide ourselves with the time to do this work and to refuel, refocus, reset and heal.
