I held my mother’s fragile heart in my hands

She ended up in hospital for 5 days and this was the beginning of something special…

Let me rewind a little… my mom has always been loving and kind to me, but due to her depression and bi-polar she has struggled to maintain consistency in her words and actions. 

Mom taught me to think freely and love deeply, but when it came to Reiki she held strong fear. She didn’t understand it and was not ready to, and so I chose not to talk about it often with her and when we did talk about it I would use words that she could relate to. 

Now that you have a deeper understanding let’s get back to mom in the hospital. She was in a ward with 13 other patients who were either resting or crying. It felt busy and she desperately needed peace so I asked mom if I could lay my hands on her heart. She looked up at me and said, ‘Yes please.’ I didn’t call it Reiki in this moment, I chose to carefully word it ‘God’s light and love.’ 

While giving her Reiki I saw things from her childhood and some of these sad memories began energetically lifting out of her body. I felt a shift, and she did too. I explained to her what I had seen and she was absolutely astounded in the most beautiful way. She couldn’t believe that I could see things that she had experienced in her past; things that she had not shared with her others. That evening, as she lay in her hospital bed under the large window with the colours of sunset streaming in, we both knew that a special universal dance was taking place before our eyes. 

The next day, as I returned to her bedside, with my ‘Visitor’ sticker on my t-shirt, she requested more healing. I lay my hands on her body and the energy began to flow. As I gently removed my hands she opened her eyes and words of gratitude poured from her mouth. She looked up at me and said ‘This Reiki is healing me. You have a gift!’ 

‘She believes! She believes! How wonderful is this!’ I quietly thanked the universe.

Bringing my mom home from the hospital was special too. My husband and I made sure that she was happy and settled in her room, and we promised to return the next day, and five days more after that too, as we decided to delay our flight after realising that she wouldn’t be able to take the journey back to the UK with us. 

The next day when I visited her she complained of pain in her chest and she told me that the nurse in her retirement home had already been up to check her vitals. My husband was out and about doing some grocery shopping for mom, so it was just me and her. 

Then it happened…

The pain in her chest grew. She squeezed her eyes shut. She held her heart and I placed my hands on her chest. One part of me said, ‘Call the nurse! Call the nurse!’ But a much stronger and more peaceful voice from within me said, ‘Be here now.’

I listened. 

I closed my eyes and felt the light of the universe pouring through into her tired heart. I guided mom to breathe deeply and slowly and she obliged. 

After what felt like 20 minutes, she opened her eyes and said, ‘The pain has gone, I am feeling better.’ 

We both cried with relief. 

Once again Reiki had deeply healed and supported my dear mother and I.

Each day she is able to do a little more, however her heart is weak and she will need to live a quieter life with zero stress. 

Flying out of South Africa was a hard thing to do, but at the same time my heart was so full. We had created a beautiful bond through the deep trust in the universe. 

This trip was a 7 week trip filled with so much love. I spent good quality time with my family and friends, after not seeing some of them for 9 years! 

As I return back to my sanctuary in Nicaragua, I thank the universe for every single experience! It was wonderful to be very human exploring, playing, laughing, crying and being. 

Being a channel of light and focusing on this in my every day life is very sacred to me. I treasure it.
