I started getting Reiki again on the New Moon in January. I was feeling particularly unbalanced after having done a pretty deep meditation a week or so prior (that is another blog post all together), and knew it was time to enter the world of energy work once again.
I guess it’s been a little over ten years since I was introduced to reiki. I was living in Queens New York at the time, in need of energetic healing, and I discovered there was a reiki practitioner a short walk from my apartment. The experience put me in the world of alternative healing for the first time, and really did alter the course of my life.
“Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.”
I’ve been continuing to receive treatments on or near the full moon ever since January and it has really helped pull me back into a state of balance over and over again. I learn something new to help me along in my journey every time I’m on the table.
I am actually attuned to give reiki, but currently don’t feel called to be a practitioner. Right now I am choosing to use it on myself, in my everyday life and have been experimenting with infusing my products with its healing energy.
For those in my area, I highly recommend Tara at The Peace of Mind Center!
