In this post, I’d like to share how I discovered the Ankh, because it has truly changed my life in so many ways. The Ankh has become a powerful tool for my own healing and spiritual growth, and I believe it can support you on your journey too — helping you feel lighter, more connected, and more in tune with your true self.

A Spiritual Awakening in the Forest

Several years ago, I had a spiritual awakening in the forest, and that moment opened everything up for me. It marked the beginning of a deep journey into spiritual practices — meditation, ceremonies, energy work — and eventually led me to the Ankh.

At that time, I was very curious and eager to explore different healing paths. I attended various gatherings and ceremonies, and one that stands out in my memory was a New Moon ceremony that included a personal healing with an Ankh. I didn’t know much about the symbol back then — I had seen it before, but I didn’t really understand its meaning or its power.

The Healing Experience

During that New Moon ceremony, the healer invited me to lie down. She began to move the Ankh around my energy field — my aura — and within just a minute or two, I felt the strangest and most profound sensation.

It was as if a huge boulder was suddenly placed on my chest — and at the same time, another was being pulled away. This release was so intense that I started to cry uncontrollably. All the sadness and heaviness that had been buried deep around my heart space came pouring out.

For about 15 minutes, I cried until the wave passed. When I finally opened my eyes and took a deep breath, something had shifted. The tightness that had always been there — that shallow, blocked breathing I hadn’t even realized was limiting me — was gone. I could breathe fully and freely again.

That experience left me deeply moved. I knew then that I needed to learn how to work with the Ankh myself.

Learning About Energy Healing

My journey began with learning Reiki, a well-known form of energy healing. Reiki works by channeling universal life force energy through the hands to clear energetic blockages and restore balance.

As I practiced Reiki, I noticed powerful changes within myself. Sometimes I would feel sadness or heaviness that I couldn’t explain — but after giving myself Reiki, that energy would lift, leaving me lighter and more at peace. It was incredible to realize how much healing could happen simply through energy and intention.

Over time, I also became sensitive to feeling where others had blocks in their energy field, and I even experienced distance healing — sending and receiving energy over any distance. At first, I was skeptical. But when I actually felt the energy begin and end during a session, I knew without a doubt that it was real.

Discovering the Power of the Ankh

After learning Reiki, my next step was to explore the Ankh more deeply. In this form of energy healing, energy is transferred through the Ankh. You could say the Ankh acts as a bridge or amplifier — giving an extra impulse to the energy and helping it flow more strongly or clearly.

Sometimes, when I work with Reiki, I can sense that the energy needs an additional boost, and that’s when I bring in the Ankh. Other times, the opposite is true — Reiki alone feels perfect for the situation. They are different energies, not one better than the other, but complementary in their own ways.

The Ankh, for me, has become a powerful companion in healing. It helps move energy when it feels stuck and opens deeper layers of transformation.

Developing Your Own Connection

If you’re wondering whether you can feel or sense these energies — the answer is yes. I truly believe that everyone can develop this sensitivity over time. It starts with being open, patient, and willing to experience whatever comes.

Having a physical Ankh can help strengthen your connection, serving as a tangible bridge to the energy it represents. You can also work with the Ankh in a visualized way, which is equally powerful — but holding one in your hands often helps make the connection feel more immediate and alive.

Closing Thoughts

If you feel called to explore the Ankh, I encourage you to follow that intuition. Keep an open heart, be patient with your process, and allow yourself to be surprised by what unfolds.

And if you’ve had your own experiences with the Ankh, I’d love to hear about them. Feel free to share your story or any questions in the comments — I always love connecting with others on this path.

With love and light,
