Embracing Your Authentic Self: A Journey of Healing and Joy


In a world where societal norms, expectations, and cultural influences often shape our sense of self, it's essential to distinguish between the culturally created self and the authentic self. This journey of self-discovery and healing can be likened to peeling back the layers of an onion—one layer at a time—with curiosity, self-love, and grace. The transformative practices of Reiki and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT®) can play a pivotal role in guiding us towards our authentic selves, fostering profound healing, and ultimately leading to a life filled with joy.


The Culturally Created Self vs. the Authentic Self

Culturally Created Self

The culturally created self is the persona we develop as a result of societal conditioning, familial influences, and cultural expectations. From a young age, we're molded to fit into predefined roles and conform to societal norms. This can lead to the suppression of our true essence, causing us to lose touch with our authentic selves.

Authentic Self

On the other hand, our authentic self represents the purest expression of who we are when we are born, at our soul level. It's the embodiment of our purpose, true desires, values, and beliefs, untouched by external influences. We see this in children before the world tells them who they need to be, before any ways and worries of the world touch them. Reconnecting with our authentic self involves peeling away the layers of conditioning to unveil our genuine nature and rediscover the joy that comes from living in alignment with our soul's true purpose.


Healing with Reiki

Reiki, a Japanese energy healing practice, serves as a powerful tool in this journey of self-discovery and healing. Mandy Carter, an Usui/Holy Fire® Reiki Master Teacher at Healing Homes and Hearts , understands the profound impact that Reiki can have on one's life. Through Reiki sessions and classes, individuals can experience:

  • Energy Balancing: Reiki helps move and release stagnant energy, promoting a sense of well-being and balance. This balanced energy can facilitate graceful introspection and self-awareness.

  • Emotional Healing: Unhealed emotions and traumas can block our authentic self. Reiki can aid in releasing these emotional blockages, allowing for a deeper connection to our true selves.

  • Mind-Body Connection: Reiki fosters a stronger mind-body connection, making it easier to recognize and address the limitations and beliefs that don't serve us.

Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT®)

QHHT® is another valuable modality for exploring the layers of our consciousness. Developed by Dolores Cannon, QHHT® guides individuals into a deep state of hypnosis to access their subconscious mind. During a QHHT® session, one can:

  • Explore Past Lives: Past-life regression can reveal patterns and experiences that have influenced our present-day self, shedding light on our authentic nature.

  • Connect with Higher Self: QHHT® facilitates communication with one's Higher Self, providing guidance and insight on personal growth and life purpose.

  • Release Limiting Beliefs: The session helps identify and release limiting beliefs, allowing us to embrace our authentic self more fully.


Awakening to Your Authentic Self

The process of peeling back the layers of conditioning and rediscovering your authentic self can be both liberating and transformative. It involves questioning and releasing beliefs and ways of being that no longer serve you. This awakening process is a journey of self-acceptance and self-love, that should be guided by curiosity and grace.



By engaging in practices like Reiki and QHHT®, individuals can gain clarity, heal deep wounds, and reconnect with their true essence. Mandy Carter, as an experienced Reiki Master Teacher and Level 2 QHHT practitioner, offers valuable guidance and support to those on this path, facilitating their journey toward authenticity and joy.

In conclusion, embracing your authentic self is a profound journey of self-discovery and healing. It involves peeling back the layers of societal conditioning, questioning limiting beliefs, healing traumas, learning to love all of you. This process assists in reconnecting with your true essence. With the assistance of practices like Reiki and QHHT®, guided by caring individuals like Mandy Carter, you can embark on this transformative journey towards a life lived in alignment with your soul's true nature—a life filled with joy and fulfillment.
