Healing Energy in your Heart

Over the years, I have experienced a few different energy and spiritual healing modalities. This started in the 1980's when I went through a Life in the Spirit seminar through the Catholic church. Those who were baptized in the Spirit received spiritual gifts. Mine seemed to be healing. I used it a little but it just wasn't the right time for me to really understand. I was very busy raising my family.
In 2003 I took Reiki I and II and again, I used it some but soon life took over again and I was preoccupied and only used the Reiki on myself, family and friends when they asked.
In 2007, a year after losing my step-daughter, I took Reiki III and Reiki Master/Teacher and the energy I felt coming through was just amazing. It is now almost 2011 and I have taken Karuna Reiki and the first level of Magnified Healing.
I have been doing some serious thinking about all the healing modalities lately. I enjoyed doing my morning practice with the Magnified healing but had some trouble anytime I was not able to do it. There is a flower essence that you take in the morning with the practice that I think is my issue. I have allergies to xome flowers. I tried stopping all together and that seems to have helped but it also made me wonder just what it is that I am getting from all of these healing modalities. I use Reiki but don't usually use the symbols.
This morning I decided to pray before my alter in my own way and ask for healing energy and answers. My hands felt charged with a most intense energy as I prayed to the God I believe in and the spiritual teachers who resonate with me. I prayed in my own way with my own words and soon answers came to me.
"We are each a piece of God's energy. We carry a spiritual Light within our hearts that is the place of love and healing. If we honor ourselves and all those around us this Light will grow. Because this Light is from God and is there for us, we can tap into it at anytime and use it to help ourselves and others heal. Our Universe is made up of energy and we are part of that energy so it makes sense that we would be able to use this energy."
When I think of how I feel when I am using the different healing modalities, I find that the energy feels very similar. But then again it must, because the energy in The Universe is the same but is manipulated in different ways. So it doesn't matter which healing modality you use or don't use because the healing is coming from your heart and so your intention is pure and the healing energy is there. The Healing is There in Your Heart!!!!
If you love and honor the Light within you, are true to what you believe because there is no wrong way to believe, be thankful and love others with the highest intentions you can harness the energy that is around and within you and help heal this world. 
Just my thoughts!!!
