Very beautiful and given in a way that can be understood by everyone.
I found a lot of help through Reiki.
The lady that is doing it to me has such a nice energy and she is practicing a lot of what you mentioned, so I can speak from experience.
After all, what I have realized in life, is that most of the times what we need is a true, warm hug and a good listener without criticism!
And time! Time to cry, accept the hurt and let it all out.
I can sum up all the above in one word called LOVE ☺!
Eventually we move on, we always do, stronger, hopefully in our own skin, instead of a shiny "iron armour"!
Thank you so much for sharing a bit of your experiences :) Love heals so much !
