They say reiki enters your life when you need it the most.
I had never heard of reiki two years ago and then one day while at a Mind and Body event in my home town I had, what was supposed to be a 15 minute taster, but turned into an hour and a quarter, as the woman said I was in need of healing.
And boy did I need it. I had just come out of a relationship - the second time it had happened - and was in the process of selling my house and moving to a new one with my young son. I was down, life was terrible and I was doing my best to keep going.
The feelings I experienced were overwhelming. Afterwards I cried but then the next day was in a high state of jubilation, followed by weeks of feeling blue and upset. I was warned this would happen, but I was hooked and wanted to know more about reiki.
I devoured books on the subject, searched online for information and then one night came across an advert for a course being held for the first time not far from home. I signed up and before I knew it I had level 1 and was practising on everyone and everything.
I loved it - the feeling it gave me and how others felt was unbelievable. I then took level 2 the following year and started treating more people. People came to me during the lunchtime in my day job to help them with all kinds of things from headaches to back pain. The feelings I experienced and the strange things that occurred made me want to know more and question things. I became more spiritual and began to take an interest in other related things.
Some people think alternative therapies are a bit cuckoo, but I say until you've tried it, you can't knock it. Also one of the key things is finding the right therapist for you. Listen to your intuition and let it guide you to the right practitioner.
