These two images appeared on my Facebook feed today. The Carnelian Crystal became my favorite crystal on my Energy Healing journey and has been with me from the very inception. She also shines a little brighter now from all the love she receives. Two years ago I was a completely different person. I had no idea what I was walking into and the doors that would open after completing my Reiki Level 1 training. If I told 2022 Nicole how far she was going to reach, she’d probably try to commit me. Four years ago (practically to the day) my life drastically changed when I realized I had been psychic my entire life and all I needed to do was stop overthinking long enough to surrender and tune in. This is the path that was chosen for me. So many people ask how I got into what I am doing and my response is “There never was a choice. The Universe dragged me kicking and screaming by the hair.” Looking back, I would not want it any other way. The scrapes, the scratches, the abuse, the hurt, the heartbreak, it was all to prepare me for where I am today and the road I continue to travel.
