In this episode, I sit down with budding Reiki Energy Healing Practitioner and Meditation Guide Aine dela Cruz as she shares her story and spiritual journey.

She begins by sharing how she discovered her gift of healing, excitedly mentioning her teachers who helped her bring out her gift, and how she was able to reconcile her Reiki practice with her Catholic upbringing. She stresses how the healing comes from God, and that we are simply vessels to help others. She speaks of her spiritual journey, where there were times she questioned God, in spite of her faith, and how getting sick was a big turning point in her life, that led to her spiritual awakening - and why meditation, reiki and relaxation are now a significant part of her life. She also speaks of how something as simple as smiling and bringing joy to other's lives can be one's Life Purpose. She talks about how it was not always that way, about how she used to have some angst, with how much she wanted to prove herself to the world and climb the corporate ladder, and that she also used to suffer from depression when her mom had cancer, but she has turned all that around and now she has found peace thanks to the modalities she has discovered and now advocates for. A big part of this includes journaling for her emotional wellbeing too, and this is why she started her blog in her little corner of the internet.

Enjoy this episode as she shares her journey and more interesting tidbits about her openly!
