Reiki & Me

To me, Reiki is an active form of meditation that is allows me to be a conduit for God’s healing power. It is an amazing process that always leads me to experience incredible joy.  So much so, that I have called my business “Healing Joyfully.”

I was born with the gift to heal energetically, but didn’t realize what I was doing until I was 30. (I haven’t figured out if I’m unobservant or just a slow learner).  I always thought my friends were being kind and sweet when they told me that being around me made them feel better.  I finally figured it out with help from a distressed friend.  She came to visit me when she was at an emotional low.  At the time I was on a spiritual high from being able to meditate everyday for a couple of hours.   When she arrived I hugged her, thinking I wish I could take away her emotional pain.  Within a few minutes, she was giggling and I was crying.

Once I figured out that I was a healer, I actively searched for knowledge and training.  I eventually came across Reiki and it just speaks to my soul.   Reiki is not just a healing technique it is a spiritual path.  There are five principles to follow (see my jpeg or yesterday’s post).   Just in case you were wondering, now when I do energy work on someone I do not take on their pain, I observe it and let it go.

A little history: Reiki is a technique that was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1920’s in Japan.  The word “Reiki” was formed from two Japanese words that together mean guided universal life force energy.  Reiki heals on many levels: spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally.

As a Reiki Master I put my ego aside so I can become a conduit of God’s healing powers for my client.  My greatest talent as an energy healer is my ability to get of God’s way.   Because of limitations of the English language there isn’t a word other than healer to describe what I do.  I’m not the true healer, God is.

During a Reiki session, I gently touch my client’s body in various places such as the eyes, face, head, neck, shoulders, stomach, back, legs and feet.   I let God guide me as to where I should put my hands and how long I should keep my hands still so each Reiki session is different.  As God’s healing power comes through me and out my hands to the client, my hands heat up.  Sometimes both my client and I are sweating despite the fact my air conditioner is running perfectly.   Then there are the rare times, my hands become ice-cold.    It’s an amazing experience.

In order for me to be the best conduit I can be, I have to feel love for the client i.e. universal love.   We all know that some people are easier to love than others, so at times I have to call on God to assist me in feeling the love.  He always comes through for us.

Life is good!  God is great! All is right in my world!

The Gift

I had the insight late last night that my years of darkness when I struggled to get out of bed to participate in life were not a punishment.  No, those years were a gift.  Does that surprise you? Perhaps I need to tell you that over a decade ago I asked God to let me have joy in my heart so I could live a joyous life.  Not just a feeling of joy, but knowing of joy to the very depths of my soul and not just part time – I wanted it full time.  Now that I’m walking again and I have the energy to tackle projects I’ve wanted to do for years, I feel joy in everything I do.  Whether it is a task I previously hated to do or loved to – It’s all a joy.

Speaking of gifts, I’m in the midst of donating my wheelchair to a veteran.  It was a blessing to me when I needed it and now I want to pass the blessing on.  I’m want to leave a positive message to the veteran who gets the wheelchair.  If that person doesn’t know already what a blessing the wheelchair is, I want to bring it to their awareness.  If they already know, I want to rejoice with them.

In yesterday’s post I told you that anything I do now is fun, because I’m not in a wheelchair.  It doesn’t matter how much I despised the task in the past, today it is fun, because I have so much joy in my heart and soul.   What a wonderful gift God as granted me.

I realize in yesterday’s post it sounded like going to the chiropractor was the ultimate answer to my problems.  It was the latest piece of the puzzle.  In my next post I will discuss what else has led to my healing.  I’m excited just thinking about.

Life is good!  God is great! All is right in my world.

Many Blessings,
