*Break the vicious cycle of suffering*

Welcome to my website!

About my website:

This website will serve as my personal diary, in which I will map out my personal path of healing from a long life of suffering.

I was “officially diagnosed” with severe depression and anxiety some years ago. I became suicidal at the age of 20 and had been going downhill ever since. I have been to many different psychotherapists over the years, none of which helped me in any meaningful way. Meanwhile, my seriousness about killing myself continued to grow. This is the story of how I healed myself from my own suicidal depression after 20 long years of living with it.

Reiki

Reiki has emerged as a main proponent in my life, because it is the means by which I am accomplishing all of my emotional healing. I recommend it to anyone who, like me, has tried different methods for emotional healing, including years of psychotherapy, with no results, and some other less effective energy healing modalities. I have become certified in reiki levels 1 and 2 and as a reiki master..

About me:

My name is Lucia Ray. I was born in Canada in 1968 and I went to school and grew up in the U.S. I graduated from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada with a double major, honors degree in German and Scandinavian languages and historical linguistics in 1992.

In addition to Canada and the U.S., I have lived in Sweden, Finland and, unofficially, Algeria. I have traveled around Europe and feel quite at home in Europe. I spent the last ten years of my life living in Finland earning a living as a translator, translating Finnish and Swedish into English. Currently I am in a major life transition and I don’t yet know what the outcome of this transition will be.

I consider myself a citizen of the world. Due to the sort of life I have led, I have basically lost the sense of “home” that most people have and the sense of being “from” somewhere and having a country. I don’t know where I’m from, simply put, because I have been “from” many places in my life, which, for one reason or another, I haven’t ever felt fully socially accepted in or part of. I’m just a citizen of the world and home is where the heart is.
