Connection Heals: The Resurrection of the Heart

In this world, true connection is rare.  We often move through life guarded, shaped by fear, ulterior motives, insecurity, or the mental calculation of risk.  We crave closeness but brace ourselves against it.  Yet underneath all of this noise, our hearts long to be seen, held, and known.

My first reiki session changed me.  The moment her hands touched my heart, something ancient within me stirred.  I remember thinking, “Please don’t take them off. Please stay.”  The thoughts surprised me.  A victim of sexual trauma, physical touch has been enormously charged for me for as long as I can remember.  For the first time in my life, it felt like my heart was being held tenderly, with love, a pure love - absent of any expectation or need. There was no grasping.  No pretense.  Just presence.

In that sacred touch, I was being met.  And in that meeting, healing began.

There is something profound in the transmission of resonant, embodied energy.  Of being truly met as opposed to managed.  Authentic heart-centered connection creates a container that feels safe enough to exhale.  To soften.  To let go.  In that stillness, the body knows how to heal.  The spirit remembers wholeness. The mind releases its grip on fear.

This healing through connection isn’t exclusive to reiki.  It happens in conversation, in the way we look at one another with presence, in the space between words, the sacred pauses where souls are allowed to breathe.

Every time we choose to show up in truth, with nothing to prove and nothing to hide - with a willingness to be vulnerable, curious, and deeply listen, we extend a hand to another’s heart.  We say, I see you - not the mask, not the wounds, not the ego, but YOU.  The whole you.  The healed you.  The one God created before the world taught us to be afraid – before it taught us that we were broken. 

Sinless. Blameless. Radiant.

To be seen in this way whether by ourselves or someone else is to be resurrected.  It is to remember our eternal Self - the Self that is untouched by guilt, untouched by striving, unconditionally worthy.

This seeing gives us permission to root down into our truth.  To listen deeply, again and again, until the quiet God voice within is known to be our own.  Until we're not just hearing the truth, we are the truth. 

Embodied. Aligned. Whole.

Healing isn’t something we chase.  It’s what naturally arises when we return to resonance.  To our home frequency.  To God within ourselves, within each other - to the sacred yes of authentic connection.
