  • A Risk That Paid Off: My Journey with Reiki

    Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

    By Tracy Schruder

    One risk I took that I don’t regret is learning and practicing Reiki. Despite being surrounded by skeptics and doubters, I remained committed to my journey. In fact, not having the support of my closest family members turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Working with friends and strangers to hone my skills forced me to grow and improve as a practitioner.

    Through Reiki, I’ve had the privilege of helping numerous individuals, including those struggling with serious health issues and emotional challenges. Witnessing their progress and improved quality of life has been truly rewarding. This journey has also led to lifelong friendships and a loyal client base.

    My passion for Reiki only grew stronger, and I decided to take my practice to the next level by becoming a certified Reiki Grandmaster. There’s nothing quite like seeing my students discover their own potential and passion for helping others. Sharing this knowledge and watching others grow has brought me immense joy and fulfillment.

    I’m grateful for the risk I took in pursuing Reiki, as it’s led to a deeply rewarding career and a sense of purpose. If you’re considering exploring Reiki or other alternative healing modalities, I encourage you to take the leap. You never know where it might lead you.

  • Embracing My Shadow: A Risk That Changed Everything

    Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

    By Tracy Schruder

    I’ll never forget the day I decided to take a risk that would alter the course of my life forever. It was the day I embarked on a journey of shadow work, confronting the parts of myself that I’d long suppressed or denied. This journey wasn’t easy, but it was transformative.

    As I dove deeper into my shadow, the floodgates of my mind and heart opened, releasing a torrent of creativity and self-awareness. My desire to write, which had previously been stifled, suddenly took off. My imagination came alive, and I found myself expressing thoughts and emotions I’d never dared to explore before.

    One of the key catalysts for this journey was Glenn Harrold’s Inner Child Meditation. This powerful tool allowed me to connect with my inner child, heal old wounds, and develop a deeper understanding of myself. By embracing my inner child, I was able to tap into my creativity and unlock my full potential.

    Through shadow work, I learned to stop judging the darker parts of myself and others. I realized that these aspects are a natural part of being human, and that embracing them is essential to personal growth. By facing my shadow, I won a deeper understanding of myself and developed a sense of compassion and empathy for others.

    I’m grateful for the journey I’ve been on, and I encourage everyone to explore their own shadow. It may not be easy, but the rewards are immeasurable. By embracing our shadows, we can unlock our creativity, develop greater self-awareness, and live more authentic lives.

    If you’re considering embarking on a similar journey, I urge you to take the first step. You never know where it might lead you. With shadow work, you’ll discover parts of yourself that you never knew existed, and you’ll emerge stronger, wiser, and more compassionate.
