Do you feel that there is something greater to life than what you’ve been experiencing? Do you look around you, witnessing the suffering and struggles, and know there has to be a better way? Have you read countless books and articles on self-improvement, spirituality, and enlightenment but notice that everything remains the same for you? You may discover a little levity and peace here and there, then as time marches on you find yourself experiencing the same tribulations as before, possibly even more severe than before.

My search for truth included pain, loss, and grief interspersed with occasional joy and happiness throughout my entire life until one thing helped me to get off of the rollercoaster of much suffering and a little thrill and step into a life abundant with peace, wealth, and a zest for living. If you desire to know what has helped change my life, please keep reading.

Most people that get comfortable with pain and suffering truly desire to be free from it entirely but something prevents them from doing so. When it becomes too difficult to bear, you may search for something to ease the discomfort. Some turn to alcohol and drugs to escape. Others seek attention from others which results in shallow relationships with people that will use them. Not all of the things people do to cope are as negative, such as taking up a new hobby or finding solace in charity work, but these still aren’t a permanent solution and inevitably the suffering creeps back in.

You are not alone in this struggle. You see, I was also looking for something more out of life and tired of the pain I thought would never go away. I read hundreds of books on subjects varying from meditation, productivity, manifestation, mental health, diet and nutrition, making money online, starting your own business, success in relationships, and on and on and on. I drank a lot and did outrageous things to be the center of attention around my friends just to make them laugh. I started multiple new jobs and businesses hoping to do something better for my life. Regardless of what I did, nothing ever stuck. In fact, they continued to get worse and worse. Spiritually, I was lost. My mental health put me in the hospital. I was more than 100 pounds overweight, divorced, and missing my 2 year old daughter when I hit rock bottom. I felt completely isolated and thought this was just my fate and I’d have to accept it.

You may have experienced your own rock bottom or feel that you are on a crash course to arrive there soon. There is something about rock bottom that causes someone to finally decide to do something different. That’s where I found myself a decade ago. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired so I began to make changes in how I responded to my frustrations and pain. I ate better, did brain games, and practiced meditation. These changes helped a little and I was experiencing hope for the first time in a long time. The cycle of pain and struggle continued but it was a lot more manageable.

Four years after my rock bottom is when the healing that would forever change my life showed up in the most unexpected way. A friend had just taken a course and asked if she could practice her newly discovered modality on me. “Practice what?” I asked. She responded with, “Reiki.” I had never heard of it but it felt right so I immediately agreed. I received Reiki at least once a week, often more, for the next 3 months. The ups and downs were still happening during this time but the peaks were more accentuated and closer together while the valleys weren’t as severe and shorter. This led to what I can only describe as an awakening. I felt a cool sensation enter through the crown of my head and travel all the way down my spine. It was exhilarating and when it was done I was able to see the world clearly for what it is and feel a deep connection of unconditional love for all life on this planet. I knew the depression and anxiety I had been experiencing for decades was gone for good as peace filled my entire being. This compelled me to learn Reiki myself and to help as many people as I possibly can. I am now a Reiki Master Teacher offering both in person and distance healing sessions as well as classes for those interested in learning Reiki themselves.

I practice and live Reiki each and every day and the results I have received from this practice is nothing short of miraculous. The main mistake I made was to not love myself. When I changed that and started to care for my mind, body, and spirit, the course of my journey changed. Reiki may not be the answer for everyone, but self-love surely is. Without it, we can only thing we know how to love others, and will often cause as much, if not more pain, than the happiness we intend to spread.

Rock bottom helped me accept that if I didn’t make a change, nothing was going to change for me. Rock bottom is not a necessity to come to this realization, and I sincerely hope you never have to endure that kind of suffering. If you are ready to make changes to improve your own life I am available for brief consultations to answer questions you may have or to book me for a Reiki session. I look forward to watching the miracles unfold in your life! You can reach me on Telegram @ahsolomon where I go by Arc.

Love,

Ryan

Wow. What a moving story. I sure need to contact you and learn more about Reiki. Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome, Yenealem. Your nursing background is a great fit for Reiki. I have a couple of friends who offer Reiki to patients at the hospital while they are receiving chemo treatments. I'm happy to chat with you anytime you are ready.
