Healer: “Are you ready?”

Me: “I think so.”

I have no idea what will happen.

As a part of a ceremony I’m attending, I´ll receive a short energy healing, and I am open to trying something new.

There is no one else in the space, except for me and the lady giving the healing. Everyone else is outside in the chill-out area.

I lie down on the yoga mat on the floor and close my eyes.

I try to take a deep breath, but I realize my breath has been shallow for about a year now. Also during meditations and breathing exercises, I´ve noticed my breath has been quite shallow. (must be the stress from previous years…)

I try to relax. When I peek through my eyelids, I see the healer waving a metal Ankh around in the air and sometimes close to my body. The ankh doesn’t touch me.

Suddenly, a heaviness hits me. I feel as if a huge boulder is put down on my chest. It’s crushing me. At the same time, it feels as if a huge uncontrollable force is pulling that same boulder right out of my chest.

I can barely breathe. It’s almost scary, so heavy and intense! The crushing feeling continues for what seems to be an eternity.

I feel emotions welling up. I try to hold back my tears, but I can’t. It’s stronger than me, it’s unstoppable.

I sob uncontrollably for the next 15 minutes or so. I don’t want to, but I can’t stop. Ah well, letting it out is better than holding it in…

When I finally feel calm, I suddenly notice that, for the first time in about a year: I can breathe deeply again!!!

This is incredible. How is this even possible?!

I haven’t been able to take a few real deep breaths for a long time.
This feels so good.

As if a weight has been lifted off me. Within 10 measly minutes.

I instantly feel lighter, more free. ✨

And then I know, without a doubt in my mind:
“𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬!” 🙌
