My Pathway to Reiki
Looking back, it is clear that Reiki seemed to randomly present itself in my life at different times over the course of many years. Thankfully, Reiki kept showing up until I was ready to learn.
The very first time was when I unexpectedly received a Reiki treatment when I was pregnant with my first child. While I was amazed and grateful for the results of that single treatment, I was focused on being a first-time mom and I was not thinking about anything but a new baby. However, I never forgot about that first experience.
About 12 years later, I was working in a rewarding and quite demanding job in a large hospital system in Arizona. Every so often, a local Reiki Master and her students would offer short treatments to members of the hospital staff – usually during the lunch hour. I participated whenever I could. It was always a lovely, relaxing, and refreshing experience. At that time, I considered taking a class but “didn’t think that I could do it.” I didn’t think that I had a “special gift or ability” to generate this energy that always seemed to have such a positive effect on my wellbeing. While I felt the desire to learn, I lacked the confidence to proceed.
Another 6 years passed, and one day I saw a post about Reiki and without hesitation, (or the usual in-depth research that I do) I registered for a class that day. Reiki kept showing up until I was ready! I am so grateful because it has had a transformative effect on my life and wellbeing.
The word Reiki is frequently translated to mean spiritually-guided, universal life force energy. Anyone can learn Reiki. Reiki is unique in that the ability to channel the Reiki energy is passed from the Reiki Master to the student via an attunement process. Once you have been attuned to Reiki you will always be able to access and channel Reiki energy. Reiki is universal life force energy so the energy does not come from the Reiki practitioner. The Reiki practitioner accesses and channels the energy but does not generate it. There are no special skills, gifts, or abilities required to learn Reiki.
If you would like to learn Reiki, you can!
I use Reiki every day. I perform self-Reiki, usually while I am meditating. I use Reiki to charge my food and my water. I treat my plants and my flower gardens with Reiki. I love crystals and I use Reiki to charge them, as well. I have used Reiki to find lost items – I know that this may sound a bit strange, but it works! I will tap into Reiki when I need a boost of energy or to support my own physical healing. The possibilities are many. Of course, I use Reiki to treat other people and it’s a privilege to do so. Reiki is a part of my daily life and I am so thankful that I can tap into this source of energy whenever I need it.
So if you have been thinking about taking a Reiki class or if you have found yourself on this page and decided that you want to learn, please know that you can.
