“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important.” I got the chance to make that assessment in 2020. I had been carrying a lot of baggage, and the onset of menopause only added fuel to fire. I was exhausted, angry and miserable. I decided that it was crucial for my sanity to leave a role and an environment which was not serving my purpose any longer.
I realized I needed to address what was really happening; physically, emotionally, and mentally.
It is true that when the student is ready, the teacher appears. And I was ready! Ready to let go, ready for closure and change.
I heard of Theta Healing from my wonderful earth angel friend Preeti Sagar. I knew she was a coach but didn’t know that she was a healer too. We had a long and detailed chat about Theta healing, how it works, what would be addressed and the benefits. One thing Preeti pointed out was that healing will happen when I am ready and open to it. That she would be the frequency, the channel that connects me to the Universe, but I will have to do the inner work.
Although I was totally convinced that Theta was for me, I was a bit reluctant about the inner work which was required. So basically, afraid to commit. After a week’s contemplation and pondering, I decided that it was now or never. I had held on to too much for too long and it was impossible to move forward, be my true self, achieve my full potential without addressing the elephant in the room.
So, I made a choice to embark on the Theta healing journey with Preeti.
When I was a kid, I would freeze in darkness. I was so afraid, that until the light was switched on, I would sit in a corner, eyes tightly shut hoping it would go away. And that is how I was dealing with my pain. Avoiding it by shutting it out and hoping it would go away. But It didn’t and it wouldn’t. When a weed shows up, it is only sensible to remove it right away. But I had allowed the weeds of anger, bitterness, guilt to grow and get stronger over the years. Now I was ready to face the darkness, remove the weeds once and for all.
These days when I close my eyes, I wonder how I managed to hold it all together and survive all these years with so much burden. We really don’t realize how much we carry until someone shows us. Theta turned out to be that magical mirror of truth and discovery, and Preeti my mystical fairy guide. My Theta healing journey was possible because I was blessed to have a coach like Preeti. She created a safe space for me to be myself, bring forth my deep emotions, express fully and speak without feeling judged. I felt safe and comfortable to address, recognize and release the burden.
Every healing session was unique. I never thought I would visit memories from years back, some of which I had forgotten completely. I didn’t know what to expect, it was always full of surprises. And after every session, I would come back feeling lighter and energized. The last six months has been a remarkable journey for me, of letting go, healing and growth. I am not the same person I was six months back. I feel so much happier and lighter in spirit, mind and body. One amazing miracle that happened during this time is that my hot flushes reduced drastically.
Thank you is a not enough to describe the immense gratitude I feel towards Preeti for introducing me to Theta healing at a very difficult phase of my life. She is fabulous, understanding and most patient coach I have come across. She kept me motivated, gave me assignments, kept a check on me and always made time to catch up and discuss my progress. Whenever I veered away, felt frustrated or lost, she would be gentle and kind, yet firm and help me get back to the healing work. I will remain eternally grateful to her for helping me heal.
The healing path is a work in progress, it is a journey of a lifetime. And I will continue to do the inner work, but this time I will reach out to Preeti as soon as I see the weeds creep up.
