We recently connected with Jacilyn Ledford and have shared our conversation below.

Jacilyn, appreciate you joining us today. What was your school or training experience like? Share an anecdote or two that you feel illustrate important aspects or the overall nature of your schooling/training experience.

Life is the ultimate teacher, and I have been grateful for wonderful learning opportunities within the spectrum of lessons in living. I had spent several years learning and practicing quantum and hand-healing to become a reiki master. My training went abroad for a further understanding of Ayurveda in India. The body and behaviors are responsive to touch, but truly learning to establish a healthy balance of sleep, stress management, nutritional diet, and movement are a key to a peaceful existence.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I am the owner and a practitioner at Wind Over Heaven, a spiritual health and wellness center located on Tybee Island, Georgia. My practice and offerings utilize several modalities of energy work which include Reiki, quantum healing, vibrational sound healing, physical asana, and Abhyanga Ayurvedic oil-massage. As adults, we can become so far removed from the motherly source of love that first nurtured us within our originating days on this planet. My offerings and services allow for an individual to be held and supported as if a mother was taking care of them. These healing modalities and support allow for emotional release and re-energizing of the soul. I continue to be humbled and feel honored to serve individuals who are desiring energetic and emotional restoration.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Dropping my personal history has been the biggest blessing for me. As we grow we are told what is right and what is wrong, and sometimes we let go of the inner voice that tells us what is best for our progress and well-being. Much of society is created to keep us contained within a box of action or thought. In unlearning my own personal history, I have taken every day living as an opportunity to create my own perspective with love; this continues to be a blessing. In viewing the world with this novel mindset, it has allowed for me to breed compassion within my own existence and to make decisions, or not, with a sense of deep peace as a heart-centered soul.

Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?

As a lifelong learner, I do take opportunities to expand my knowledge within my realm of practice. I find it just as important to find silence, stillness, and spaciousness to allow for integration of what I have learned and what I come to know of myself. Creating space and allowing for my own meditative practices has been crucial in my progress and in my practice that I share with others. If we do not create time to be with ourselves we will never come to know ourselves. Wind Over Heaven helps to offer this silence, stillness, and spaciousness as well. As a sacred space and practice, it is our truest hope that we can allow the person to come to know oneself emotionally, energetically, and with love.
