I first discovered Reiki when I was going through a challenging time in my life. I remember my first Reiki treatment. It was a summer's day but I was feeling unhappy and concerned for my future.
During the treatment I felt a wonderful heat from the practitioner's hands and I relaxed and let my mind quieten. After the session I felt lighter. My problems had not disappeared but for the first time in a while I felt hope. I now felt that things would work out because now I could think clearly about what I needed to do.
My next treatment did not happen until over a year later. I had allowed myself back into a situation that wasn't good for me and I was dealing with the consequences. I went for a Reiki treatment at a turning point at this time and arrived for it feeling distraught, overwhelmed and miserable.
Again I allowed myself to receive the Reiki healing, I relaxed and allowed my mind to wander. After that treatment I felt better. I felt I had let go of the negative things I needed to. I felt grounded again and I felt stronger. I won't lie and say I was instantly 'cured' or happy. No, what I did feel was acceptance. Acceptance that I could deal with what was occurring in my life and I firmly believed I would be a stronger person for it all and that I would have learned from it. I then set off on the path to becoming attuned to the power of Reiki and to becoming a Reiki Master.
Since then as a Reiki practitioner I have allowed Reiki into my life and it has helped me to heal and be strong and determined. Daily it allows me to find joy and peace amidst all the stress and chaos that life can throw at us.
