Healing is for the worthy… and that includes you.
Self-sacrificing people often carry a quiet belief: I am not worthy of healing.
It comes from a lifetime of having their pain minimised… or worse, denied.
After sessions, I often hear disclosures that have never been spoken out loud before.
When I gently ask, “Why haven’t you told anyone?” the answer is almost always the same:
“They’ve got their own stuff.”
“I’ll manage.”
“I don’t want to worry anyone.”
So they carry it.
And carry it.
And carry it… until they can’t anymore.
Then one day, the “strong one” breaks —
and everyone says, “I had no idea they were struggling.”
This is why, when I teach Reiki at the most basic level, I start here:
Acknowledge your own feelings.
Because when you know yourself,
you can truly see others.
And from that place… you can guide them safely back to themselves.
That heaviness you feel?
It’s not weakness.
It’s the weight of carrying more than you were ever meant to hold alone.
So release it.
Talk — even if it’s just to yourself in the car park.
Move — until you feel that heavy energy shift in your body.
And remember this:
The world is full of everyday healers.
Not just practitioners.
They might be:
• The mum at the school gate
• The dog walker on the beach
• The person who simply listens without fixing
You are not a burden.
You are human.
And you are far more supported than you realise.
