Reiki helped Panic Attacks, Self Esteem and Fear of Flying
Reiki has given me the power to relax and be a lot calmer. I had always suffered from terrible anxiety since I was a child. Regular panic attacks and vomiting from fear became my way of life. This was the norm in my family – So many wasted years and opportunities!
My journey took me through all the usual channels – General Practitioners, Psychiatrists, Mental Health Nurses and Tranquilisors. My life was controlled by complete terror with no logical explanation!
Eventually a personal development course helped me realize that I was not crazy. I’m 28 now. In the past 6 years I have been to many counseling sessions, attended several personal development courses and studied many self help books. But although I could now understand what was happening to me and why, I still lacked the inner strength to make the biggest changes.
Reiki found me! I’ve learned over the past two years how to connect with myself. My true inner self, the person who knows he is deserving of love and acceptance – From Me!
After six years of studying all the books and doing all the counseling, Reiki has given me the gift of me. Its a struggle at times. 26 years of conditioning won’t change quickly, but now I have Reiki. Its given myself permission to love myself.
My attitudes are slowly changing. I’m not as anxious or impatient as I used to be. Now when I feel panicked and out of control I use Reiki. It doesn’t always calm me down straight away but maybe tomorrow I will pull out of the downward spiral of fear.
One amazing Reiki experience for me was taking my first flight. At 27 I had never flown. I was terrified even driving near an airport. For the most part I could ignore the fear but it did stop me from many holidays away with friends and partners.
When my best friend moved to the U.S.A 3 years ago, I promised myself that I would get there. It took 2 years and a lot of Reiki but with the aid of a family member (brave soul!) and Reiki I took the first flight to London on a day trip. What a great thrill. Some people grab their armrests on the plane, my hands were clamped to my body! I got a window seat and once the plane had leveled off I was able to look out of the window. I was like a little kid again – I loved it. I was first sorry I had not brought my camera!
Well, that was over a year ago and since then I have flown to the U.S.A twice. I can now say that I find flying ordinary.
Wow, I thought the best I could hope for was not having to be a sick boy
