Learning Reiki Changed Everything For Me

to another episode of the Village Crazy Lady. Today. It's just me for another little quick bonus episode just to power us through the week. It's a hump day episode, that's what it is. So today I want to chat about something that I'm doing in my life at the moment, or something that I've been doing in my life for a long time for many years, but I've just reached a new level with it and it's really exciting. I

am now officially a reiki teacher. I have been for a little while, but I'm, according to the podcast, now

officially on The Village Crazy Podcast. I'm a reiki teacher, something that I've wanted to do for a really long time because I guess my journey in you know, walking out of the broom closet, doing the whole I'm a medium thing, the whole homopsychic thing, and then sort of moving into learning reiki, loving reiki, finding that it helped me so much, and which is what has sort of like taken me to this point of going, I need to teach people this because I love to help people

in the way that I don't want to just sit and do readings for people. I want to get rid of the middleman. Not get rid of the middleman. Sorry, mediums out there, you are absolutely fucking spectacular. Let's definitely not get rid of the middleman, because I also still love seeing psychics and mediums, even as a medium myself.

But what I mean is that I just found that in doing what I did, there were so many people who just didn't realize that they could access more information than they realized and that they were more powerful than

they realized. And I just felt like there were so many people who just needed empowerment and almost just like a learning of themselves more than they needed me to tell them what, you know, what their life held and what their the utua looked like, which is why I was like, I really want to be able to teach people more. I want to be able to help people understand what spirituality kind of is outside of just the the crystals and the cards and the palm reading and

the astrology and all of that. Like, let's sort of try and unpick and understand what that relationship is to you, you know what that that relationship between you and spirit is, because I mean, I say all the time, it's not like I'm the chosen one or anything like that. It's just that some people maybe just able to access that collection a bit easier and in a way that maybe it's just for their path that they're supposed to access it to help other people. But I think everyone can

access it to help themselves. And Reikie was a really big, massive part in my journey even as a medium, because I knew that I was a medium obviously, because I could see and communicate with the dead, which is a pretty fucking dead giveaway that's sort of just like the basis of being a medium obviously. And I knew that I was a psychic as well for the same reason could see people's timelines. But like if you've learned anything, I guess from listening to even a lot of the

episodes that I've had with other mediums. It's that it's not really as straightforward as you really think it is. It's a lot more than just dead people walking around sitting down and having a conversation with you. It's really figuring out what your relationship to spirit looks like, how do you receive information, how do they show you? What does this side mean, what does that side mean? What

does it mean? You know, because it's like they're you're translating from one person to the other, which is kind of what it is, and everyone sort of receives the information differently. There's a lot of similarities. But to be able to help people understand how they receive information, I

think it's really empowering and powerful. So reiki for me, what happened was I was like, I've always loved reiki, I love energy healing because there's someone who's done years and years of therapy and you know, like gone through traumatic experience and you know, dealing with like CPTSD and all that sort of thing. I found that talk therapy was amazing. It was spectacular and very helpful, but it got to a point where it was I was great

within my head, but not within my body. I was so good at articulating how I felt I was so good at intellectualizing. Therapy for me felt like a competition, like I was. I've always been at school. I loved like impressing teachers unless I unless it was unless I fucking hated the teacher and so which in that case I would try to ruin their life. If they were creepy, I'd try and get them fired. But if I loved them and I loved the subject, I was an overachieving

eldest child, I wanted to impress them. I wanted to be a teacher's pet. And that's me therapy too. I'm like, can I get an A plus for this? Can I be so good at this? How well can I intellectualize what I'm experiencing? And that was great, and that was

really fun and it was very helpful. But I my body was trying to tell me that I was completely disconnected to it, and as someone who experienced particular traumas growing up, that made me feel like my body wasn't my own and that it wasn't a safe space and I had to really disconnect from it. What started to happen was I developed a panic disorder, which was really humbling as someone who thought that they were winning therapy and was such an amazing advocate for mental health and like, wow,

look at me, I'm so put together. I've done all the therapy. I'm amazing, and was humbled very quickly as I should as I fucking should have been too, because the way that my panic attacks present themselves is and like any panic attack, I don't think people realize that they're so physical that there's no way that you can even put together that it would. It has some kind of like mental and emotional attachment to it. You're like, I'm dying. I'm dying right now. Mine present themselves in

a way where it's it's almost like a stroke. I lose feeling in the entire right side of my body and it starts. Usually the first sign is that I just feel really disconnected from my body, which is how they eventually realized that it was they were panic attacks, because that's pretty much the shurefire. I'm not a psychologist, I'm not going to pretend to be, but essentially it's got something to do with like your mam million brain basically go it shuts down and you just go into lizard.

You just turn to a lizard brain, and so I felt I feel disconnected from my body, and then I start to lose my vision and I just feel really fucking weird. And I also forget like the name for a cucumber or I had a padic attack recently, and I couldn't remember the name for my son. I can't remember my name, I can't remember where I am. I can't remember basic words, like I'm sitting there thinking like I know what that is. I know what that is? Why can't I think of the name? Why can't? And

it's that's like one of the scariest bits. I lose my speech because obviously I lose feeling in the entire right side of my mouth, so I can't a chocolate. It is like literally like a stroke. And the first many many times I had them, it was absolutely fucking terrifying. And they're still like pretty scary, but I didn't know

what they were. Had to have ambulances come. I remember one time I was like naked in the shower with my like nine month old daughter and then managed to like make it to the bed but couldn't couldn't get dressed, had her just on top of me, but I couldn't talk. I couldn't even remember her name. I just had to like call my husband, and I was basically just managed

to get out call an ambulance. And then eventually, like they sort of go away, and the doctors did all the tests and all the everything and the skins to the brain and the and they would always conclude with, we can't see anything. We have no idea what's going on, and you seem fine now. And what I realized it was, is that my body is going, hey, you've like forgotten about us. You think that you're like all good, but we haven't. We're still holding a lot within our body,

and also you're very disconnected to it. Like I basically felt dead from like the neck down and so long storm. And like I'm just going to chat about the fact that I'm a reiki digita. But that's sort of really what helped bring me into reiki because I started, you know, had reiki done to me many times before. Always loved the experience, always felt so good afterwards. I loved what I learned, I loved what came through, I loved how it felt. It was also always really profound and amazing.

But when all of this was going on, I'm like, I need to be able to access my body. I need to be able to reconnect with my body. I need to be able to understand energy. I need to be able to understand emotion and where it goes and where it flows, and how to be able to move it and understand it and go into it. So eventually I was like, you know what, I'm just going to learn. I want to do my reiki one. Just because I want to do my reiki one. I think it'd be

really great. And I had so many people who were like, just do you reiki one just for you because it helps you so much. It is such a great tool to have and it can help the people around you so much and help you help them. So I did my Reki one in every single one of my attunements. Because in your reiki one, you have four attunments which attuned you to the reiki energy, which is like life force energy. I would be shown a different one of

my clevoyance is the first attuvement. I was shown to smell, which I think I've explained on this podcast before, Like basically I smelt something from the girl next to me and something like a great aunt came through and that was really wild. And then the next one I was shown sort of like future seeing. I was shown feeling in my body. I was just shown all these different things that really activated my psychic and medium abilities even more. Since then then I was like, Oh, I need to

do reiki two. I need to be able to help people with this, Like this is so interesting to me and to be able for me as someone who's like already intuitive, to be able to use it to like when I'm doing breaky on people and doing reiki on myself, what I'm told and what I'm shown is so amazing. And I've used it to literally like heal myself and get me in those moments where I'm like I feel terrified because I feel really anxious, or I feel like there's niggling in my body, or I feel like something's

going on. Instead of going into that like oh my god, what's going on? Like my instead of going straight to my brain and creating all these stories. Instead, I'm like, Okay, let's just go into it. Let's just ask. Let's just figure out what it's showing me and what maybe I need to like, why is it? Why is it showing up?

And why do I need to focus on it? And it has just been such a profound tool, such a profound tool to sort of like even just ground in every single day to create boundaries around myself, like energetic boundaries, to be able to like clear a house and clear a space and move along spirits and all that kind of thing. Like it's just been such a powerful tool.

And I love to help people with exactly what I'm doing, like talking about my own experiences and how you can help connect with spirits and how you can help fuck them off if you want.

been taught new tools to actually help myself. So instead of me going outside constantly because I catch myself doing that all the time, like something could be going on, I'm like, I need to go see this person. I need this, I need an answer, I need someone to help me in figure it out. And then I've started to go, hold on, how did I just ask myself first,

like maybe I can help myself? And that kind of empowerment is fucking awesome, And maybe it is like you go in and you're like, Okay, now I know exactly where I need to seek help. I know exactly what it is that I need, as opposed to just like trying a whole heap of shit and hoping that's something fucking sticks that somebody can help you to be able to go. I can help myself to a degree here, or I could help myself to a lot of degree, you know, and maybe I need support with that, but

I can help myself. Is so powerful. Absolutely recommend just learning just because to be able to help yourself. It's just I know, I keep saying the word empowering, but it really fucking is empowering to sort of like bring our power back and be able to do shit for ourselves. It's just the fucking coolest. It's the coolest. So if you are interested, you can go to my Instagram on my website Mickeyfisher dot com. Maybe I might be bullshitting,
