How it all started...

My name is Artie Sabando. I welcome you to 228 Positivity! In the not-so-distant past, I felt something was missing or preventing me from fulfilling my God given purpose here on Earth. I felt stuck, uninspired & a lot of anxiety over a bunch of different things in my life. So, with the encouragement of my husband, who stumbled upon Reiki as a possible method for me to use as an aid in the management of my anxiety, I set out on my journey. Through prayer, meditation, & Divine guidance I committed to learning about Reiki. It was then that I received my first Reiki session and went on to train to become a Reiki Master Practitioner.

I have always been aware of the energy around me and how energy can impact my physical, emotional, & mental body. I just did not know that I had the ability within me to improve the way I interacted with the energy around and within me. Reiki offered an understanding of the energy I had always suspected affected me, but never really knew for sure. My suspicions were right! Energy plays a big role in the world around us AND within us!! Reiki was eye opening for me! 

With the assistance & training from my Reiki Master, I was able to free myself from energy blockages that had been created through decades of physical, emotional, & mental build up from life actions and beliefs. Gradually, my anxiety was lessened, I was thinking clearer & had a newfound hope that, to be honest, I did not know I was missing. I have always been a spiritual person & I do believe I have a purpose here on Earth to help others, I just did not know how until I learned Reiki. For me, Reiki was my missing piece of the puzzle that started an awakening within my spiritual self. I continue to grow connecting with my higher self & the Divine within me. I offer my gifts to others for the highest good of all.

On my journey as a Reiki Master Practitioner, I am an open vessel for healing love & light. When Reiki “is given” it flows freely to where it does the best for each client. I choose to honor the beauty in life by feeding positive energy back into the world. I strive to transform negative energy into positivity through a positive mindset & a positive presence so all can benefit. I believe all living beings have a purpose & an energy that can be beneficial when given freely. I believe doing a little can positively make a big impact & that being consciously aware, gracious & grateful are keys to growth. 

As a Reiki Master Practitioner, I work with clients to help restore the free flow of Universal energy through the body. I am trained in various forms of Reiki & utilize the form of Reiki that will work best for a client’s energy need. 

In addition to being a Reiki Master Practitioner, I hold a Master of Metaphysical Sciences degree, I am a Licensed Practical Nurse, Guided Meditation Practitioner & Life Empowerment Coach.

I enjoy interacting with all & aspire to be of service by sharing my gifts as I am able. I rely on my empathic abilities to aid me in practicing compassion & empathy. I do not pretend to know all the answers; however, I trust that honesty can & does prompt positive changes that lead to illuminating holistic wellness by eliminating obscure debilitating energy blockages. I trust the Divine universal source of light to provide what is needed for the greatest and highest good for me, as well as for you, at the divine right time. I wish peace, protection, wisdom, love & light to all. 

Many blessings!
