Meet Your Practitioner – Donna Beifus
Welcome, I am glad that you are here. Our mission, through Divine Light Reiki, is to offer the transformative benefits of Meditation, and Reiki through heartfelt teaching and inspired Reiki treatments.
I have a deep appreciation and an abiding respect for my meditation practice and it is integral to each day. Meditation has been a catalyst for transformative change in my life. Within weeks after learning to meditate, I knew that someday I would become a Meditation Teacher. Everything in my life improved after I began my meditation practice so I wanted to be able to share meditation with others who would like to learn. I am very proud to be a Chopra Certified Meditation Teacher.
My first experience with Reiki was more than 20 years ago when I was expecting my first child. Late in my pregnancy, I began to have sciatic nerve pain that was limiting my ability to sit, walk or even feel comfortable. There was not much that was available in terms of traditional medical treatment because I was pregnant. I learned that the woman that I was seeing for child birth education classes was a Reiki Master. She offered to provide Reiki to relieve the pain that I was experiencing. I had never heard of Reiki and was skeptical at first. After one brief session, my discomfort from sciatic nerve pain was relieved!
I would love to say that this experience marked a change in my life at that moment, however, that is not what happened. I was not quite ready to pursue more with Reiki; although, I never forgot that incredible first experience.
I have been a Registered Nurse for more than thirty years and for much of that time, I have served in leadership roles. Being a nurse and being a leader has been a great privilege in my life. Being a wife and a mother has been a gift and a blessing. While I had always been grateful for my many blessings, I still struggled with balancing my personal life, my professional life, and my self-care. Twenty years after that first Reiki session, my struggle to find balance was taking a toll.
In 2017, I pursued formal meditation instruction and finally learned to meditate which has now developed into my daily meditation practice. Meditation has served as a catalyst in my life. In the stillnness of meditation, I began to remember… and understand more about myself. The following year, I saw a notice about an upcoming Reiki class and immediately decided to enroll (this is something that I never do!) After experiencing Reiki during the first class, I felt drawn toward Reiki and had a desire to learn more.
Since that time I have completed course work to become a Usui/Tibetan Reiki Master Practitioner/Teacher and a Usui /Holy Fire® III Reiki Ryoho Master and a Registered Holy Fire® III Karuna Reiki® Master. I am a Professional Member of the Reiki Membership Association. Studying Reiki and practicing with this profound energy on a daily basis has been completely transformative. As I have continued to meditate and have learned more about Reiki, I have also learned more about myself and have created a balance that supports my energy and total well-being.
Through my Reiki studies I became been enchanted by power of sound and its ability to create almost immediate shifts in energy.
I pursued additional course work involving sound and I have completed a 100 hour certification as a Crystal Bowl Facilitator through the Soul of Yoga Sound Institute. I am a Reiki Drumming™ Practitioner. I am a member of the Sound Healers Association. I have added the transcendent properties of crystals and sound to the services that I offer at Divine Light Reiki. I am a Reiki Crystal Healing Practitioner. I have completed advanced training and am a Guided Imagery Practitioner. I always have my next class planned and I look forward to sharing my knowledge and skills with the clients and students that I serve.
