Why would I take a Reiki class???
You probably heard about Reiki from someone, or perhaps have seen Reiki booths
and tables at a health fair or advertising for Reiki treatments and classes. You may
also have noticed that the people involved are of all ages and walks of life and each
one may present Reiki differently. You have become interested but may be asking
yourself "whatever it is, is it for me?" Coming from a place of curiosity opens your
mind and your heart and is a great place to be! At the beginning of every Reiki class I
ask the question "What brought you here?" The answers are as varied as the
students who give them. Let me share of few of them with you. "I suffer from
________ and want to heal the condition". "I have been feeling something is missing
and I'm hoping Reiki has some answers". "I came because my sister asked me to
join her". My Father is ill and I want to find a way to help". "I know I was meant to
help people and I believe Reiki can help me do that". "I am a massage therapist and
want to enhance my practise with Reiki". "I have had Reiki treatments and I want to
be able to do that for myself". All the reasons are unique and personal as will be their
journey and relationship with Reiki.
My own journey of Reiki began with a simple phone call from an excited friend who
had just finished a class. I don't know if it was the word Reiki or his enthusiasm that
started my heart pounding in excitement or anticipation. Energetically I think I
wanted whatever I was feeling from him. Following through, my husband Pete and I
went together and a new journey began. A journey to my Self, with a capital S. It has
been and continues to be quite a journey. I stepped into that Reiki class carrying a
history of allergies, asthma, overweight, low self esteem and burdens of loss. My
mother had passed over, my father was mute and paralyzed from a stroke and my
first husband was killed in an accident leaving me and the three kids to carry on.
Truly my healing began with the love Pete gave me and then the love that Reiki
brings. The biggest message I took home that weekend was to "put my loving hands
on every day, breathe, be still and know that I am". I continue to put my hands on
every day and have gratitude for the gift of presence it brings and how far this loving
relationship has brought me. As I practiced the ideals for living consciously , a form of
awareness practise, and learned to accept and let go my life literally began to lighten
up. Each area of my life, each in their own fashion and timing has transformed, healed
if you will. I am now basically allergy free, a healthy weight, accept and approve of
myself, and grow daily in conscious relationship with my life, my world, with all that is.
Reiki is about remembering the relationship that love is. Reiki energy or focus does
indeed influence the speed of healing and as a preventative it wins hands down. Reiki
has alloted me the privilege of helping many others in their healing journey and allows
me to feel empowered in times of crisis as I can always contribute positive 'prayers'
no matter where it is needed. You see, you can't really practise the techniques of
Reiki without awareness of what Reiki is and what Reiki reminds us. There is no
separation and each of us live this teaching our own unique way. That is the freedom
of Reiki. In truth everything is a spiritual practise and Reiki teaching is one way to
live a spiritual practise with a simple foundation.
Here are some student comments at the end of their First Degree Class:
"Peaceful, fulfilling, love filled. You feel very serene and at peace. It's a very loving,
quiet
and peace filled class. It answers a lot of questions and opens your mind, heart and
soul to the
inner knowledge and peace that is Reiki". CH
"Intriguing. The class was very informative and hands on which was awesome..I will
definitely try to practice Reiki regularly". WS
"Fascinating, enlightening and rich with life, feeling and energy. Trish gives simple
instruction and where to focus first & teases with examples of endless possibilities. I
have never before taken a class that left me feeling like a bond was created with the
other participants and even though it is over, the experience is not finished. I want
more". JR
"I am more at peace with myself than I ever thought possible". HC
"I feel grateful to be able to better support my mother on her journey with breast
cancer". LL
Create your own testimonial and a legacy of Self Love through living the practice
of Reiki.
When the student is ready the teaching appears.
Trust the timing, follow your heart, you have everything to gain by giving it a go:)
