stepping into reiki is stepping into Magic
Ever wonder if magic is real? Well, it is. I was 14 years old when I discovered I could heal. I was scheduled for surgery for a mass in my knee that the 3 expert doctors I went to couldn’t identify. I was fine with the idea of getting crutches because I always wanted them, but when the surgery got closer to happening, I got scared. I put my hands on my knee, with the thought that I didn’t want this anymore, and the mass that was just shy of golf ball size, disappeared. The doctors ran tests and scans, and it was gone. After that I would mostly only use this ability in cases of emergency, sometimes it would come out automatically when I was creating something or working on a client (I did hair for 20 years). I was raised Christian and didn’t want negative attention in this way. It wasn’t until I was 40 years old that I even heard the word “Reiki”. I looked it up to see what it was, and I realized I found my people, I found my home. In my first Reiki class I was there with people of all sorts. People that wanted to bring this world more healing by healing themselves and healing their family. I decided to take this class because my father had just been diagnosed with Kidney failure. He wouldn’t accept my kidney and I was 1,400 miles away from him, living in California with my husband and son. I had only healed by placing my hands directly on someone or something, so this class, with its distant healing attunement and symbol was my way to heal my dad. I had always thought you had to be born with abilities, like psychic abilities or being able to move energy and such, but in this first Reiki I & II class I witnessed, in mere minutes, people without these abilities, gain these abilities.
I love how Reiki always goes where it is needed, whether it's to the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual parts of us, it always brings in understanding - and that in itself is such a comfort and really is the beginning of healing.
