Dear Erin,
First let me tell you the emotional causes of ankle pain or swelling.

here goes.....
being inflexible; living in stress & tension; & under achievement in reaching higher goals.
Yes to all 3! My father had something similar and yes to all 3 for him, too. Food for thought, thank you! ;D

Secondly without sounding too critical, I would like you to focus more in the present & future. Also don't shadow your positive statements with contradicting negative statements. It helps to be more focused.
Yes, I have been focusing very much on the past. This has been for very many years, an unwillingness to let go of old hurt/trauma/experiences. Not KNOWING(forgetting) how to forgive was my greatest obstacle.
I have recently learned new ways that have allowed me to release many of these old experiences. Through my new understanding of my past and past lives, I have been able to forgive many (and myself) and I have been helping to heal others as well by distance. Just not using Reiki, because I am level one and they are so far away.
I came into this world with MANY souls attached to mine. Only since the souls have been cleared and released have I been able to move forward. So, now I am finding a new freedom AND beginning to live more in the NOW and plan for the future. I am still clearing away energies I brought forth into this life and have accumulated in this life, and it is my belief that these need to be released before one can live
entirely in NOW.

Also in your postings I have realized that you were a very different person years back. I may be wrong there. You are much more positive & affectionate now. Keep it up.
Yes, I have walked a long way. Others have walked farther, but they didn't try to walk backwards standing on their hands, juggling the whole way...

We each make it as difficult as we think it needs to be to grow... I am letting it be easier now.

Hope I am helpful enough to be a companion in your Reiki path.
By the way I love Irish Mist. I pour it over my ice-creams for desserts.
More than I can express! Thank you, for your guidance and thank you for suggestions for chakra work. Synchronicity! I got the impulse to use Reiki on my chakras this morning, only in a different order. Since it does go where it needs to I am sure it still worked fine. Now, I have written instructions

Thanks, again!
Love and Peace,
Erin
