My journey with Reiki began with a healthy dose of skepticism. Years ago, I had the opportunity to experience a remote Reiki session. A practitioner I had met earlier that day offered to channel energy to me from afar. The idea of transferring healing energy, especially remotely, seemed far-fetched, but I was curious enough to try it. Later that evening, as promised, I felt a distinct wave of warmth and energy moving through my body. It was an intriguing experience, but I quickly filed it away as an unexplained oddity.

Years later, my curiosity about Reiki resurfaced. As I explored new avenues for personal growth, the possibility of learning this practice piqued my interest. However, my research revealed a wave of skepticism and criticism, with many dismissing Reiki as pseudoscience or attributing its effects to the placebo effect. Yet, something about Reiki resonated with me, and I decided to set aside the doubts and embrace this unique discipline.

A Journey of Skepticism, Discovery, and Compassion

Reiki: An Expression of Love and Compassion

At its core, Reiki is about offering love, compassion, and focused attention to promote well-being. It’s about creating a space for healing and relaxation, where the practitioner channels energy with intention and care. This resonated with me deeply, as I’ve always believed in the power of human connection and the importance of supporting one another’s well-being.

Beyond Skepticism: Experiencing the Subtle Power of Reiki

Through dedicated practice, both in-person and remotely, I’ve come to appreciate the subtle yet profound effects of Reiki. The feedback I’ve received from clients ranges from enthusiastic praise to quiet acknowledgements of feeling something shift within them. Some describe deep relaxation, others a sense of peace, and some even report falling into a restful sleep. While the experiences vary, the common thread is a sense of being cared for and supported.

Contributing to a Better World, One Session at a Time

I practice Reiki because I believe in its potential to bring comfort, healing, and a sense of balance to those who are open to receiving it. It’s a way for me to contribute to a better world, one session at a time, by offering focused attention, compassionate care, and a space for deep relaxation. In a world that often feels rushed and disconnected, Reiki provides a sanctuary for healing and renewal.
