My Journey
with Reiki
One of the things
that I learned in my journey with Reiki is that you don’t choose
Reiki; it chooses you. At least that is what happened for me. I
had several friends that were involved with Reiki and one friend
who was a Reiki Master Teacher. But, I was a writer and a
realtor and never considered myself to be a healer.
I thought only
healers would take Reiki.
Besides, it seemed
a little too hard to believe that you could heal someone just by
the laying on of hands. One day, as I was struggling to balance
my life in the practical world with all of my spiritual beliefs,
I just felt that Reiki might help me to have more clarity. I
wanted to feel God in a more tangible and closer way and I
thought that if I allowed this healing touch to flow through me,
I could literally “feel” God. So, I signed up for Reiki 1,
certain that it would be just this one class for me.
There in that
quiet room, as my Reiki Master touched my head and my hands and
attuned me to this amazing healing light, I discovered a force
and a peace that has changed and filled my life. I had often
felt the presence of angels around me and could hear voices of
masters and teachers, but I had never “felt” them in my body.
Now, as this powerful loving light flowed through me, it was as
if all of the arteries and veins that carried my blood now sang
the song s of these angels and guides.
I knew then that
Reiki was for me and that if I could feel this, anyone healer or
heathen, who chose to open to it, could feel it as well.
What I learned in
that first class is that we are all capable of healing touch. We
are all connected to Spirit/God/Goddess.
We are all capable
of miraculous experiences. Our daily life does not often support
the idea of us as co-creators with God. Nonetheless, that is our
destiny.
I believe that
when we choose to say “yes”, our healing energy is awakened.
First, Reiki flows through us like liquid love to bring healing
and comfort to mind, body and spirit. Then, we can also use
Reiki to relieve those around us who are in pain.
Thus, I decided to
continue and take Reiki 2 and 3 and ultimately did a yearlong
apprenticeship to become a Reiki Master Teacher. During my year,
I assisted in teaching many classes and traveled to France and
Germany and Switzerland to assist in the Reiki classes offered
there as well. Everywhere I found people opening to this force
of light and to the God given powers that we all share.
I now offer
classes and Reiki apprenticeships so that all who choose to find
healing and comfort in this way can have it for themselves and
for others in their lives.
Reiki has
brought me much joy and great comfort.
Today my life is
dedicated to sharing paths of light that have blessed me. One of
the most profound is Reiki. In a world of challenge and change,
there is a consistency and a constancy of this blessing that
illuminates all that I do and that I can offer to myself and to
those who are in pain.
If it calls to you
and you choose to open the door, I hope that it blesses your
life as it has blessed mine.
