My Reiki Journey

First of all, you might be wondering what reiki is.

rei means God
ki means life force energy

It aids in relaxation and stress reduction. How? You simply place your hands on someone and a healing energy comes through your hands. Touch is healing in and of itself, research has shown that ill infants who are touched get well much faster than those that are neglected. This is part of human nature.

Here is a website to tell you more about reiki

Reiki info

One must be attuned by a reiki master to have reiki. Once you are attuned you can do reiki.

The energy is a healing energy.

My Reiki Journey

My journey began in 1994. I was in a woman's group. Many of the women decided to get a reiki attunement so I did too. I got reiki level I and II and until 2007 that is what I was. I became a reiki master in 2007.

I had a reiki treatment done on me before I got an attunement. I could tell some kind of energy was there and it was healing.

Once I could do reiki also I did it on me and others any time I could.
I used to have asthma and reiki could make it so I could breathe better when I would do reiki on me.

It works well on helping headaches and migraines go away fairly quickly.

It is not a magic cure however and will not instantly take cancer from the body. What it does is helps people on the etheric fields, the energy before it goes into being a physical illness in us.

Once you are reiki level II you are taught symbols. I like to use the cho ku rei often. It makes your reiki much more powerful when you use the symbols. Taking the symbol to the 10th power just makes it that much more powerful.

Cho ku rei symbol



We took aura pictures of us before and after a reiki treatment and you could actually see that our auras were different. I can't find my after reiki picture but you can see the before shot on my I can see your true colors in your aura lens.

I have helped people's headaches and my own go away. I have had pain in my body ease from the use of reiki. I have helped others feel better with reiki. We use it on our pets as well. It is more intense for pets than humans. They are very sensitive to energy.

"The minute I heard my first love story,

I started looking for you, not knowing

how blind that was.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,

they're in each other all along.

I have phrases and whole pages memorized,

but nothing can be told of love.
~ Rumi

Linda

My ex husband and I went to this lady. I have never felt reiki like she did. It was an awesome energy through her hands that brought up emotions in me that were like tidal waves causing crying fits and issues to come up that I had not known were there. Once the tears were spent I felt so clear and lighter than I had in years. Her healing was just an awesome experience! She also told me things about me she could not have known. She mentioned past life stuff as well related to my ex husband, telling me I had lost him in a past life and saw me grieving over him as I stood at Stonehenge. She tapped into my thyroid disorder I have and told me to have it checked. Turns out months later my medication needed adjusted. A very unique and interesting experience.

My poetry

My poetry is a reflection of my spiritual journey. My three favorite poems of mine are below:

Endless Beauty

Dream...

Into being
Happiness
Of a garden
Planted with

seeds Of joy
Growing into
Full blooms
Of peaceful contentment

Blossoming Into light
Filled of

Endless beauty

and the other poem is

Joy's Birth

I dreamt
I gave birth
To joy
And I fed her
As she grew
Into her fullness
Her smile
Opened hearts
Her presence
Inspired a world
That had forgotten
She existed
She taught many
As she aged
Showing them
That beauty
And love
Peace and happiness
Did not need to be searched for
Or bought
But lived in their own hearts
Where they touched
God's grace

The third poem is this one:

The Collective

Beauty becomes me
In the mystery of my soul
I hunger for what is not
Touched with the human hand
The mystical revelation
The shaman's song

The connection
We all long for
In this dance of intimacy
The learning
I discover
The many parts that make the whole
Encompassing the heart
Of humanity

In the palm of my hand

I reach the destination
Reborn by this epiphany
That deep down
In the center
Of myself
Is

All others

Those are the two poems on the posters I put on here that I sell at my zazzle store. To look closer just click on the posters on this lens.

    I loved this lens! I was attuned for Reiki 1 and 2 a number of years ago, and I agree, it works well. I had made the connection that the "cho ku rei" sounds a lot like how the Japanese would pronounce "chakra". I'm guessing it's a real connection....
