Hi an update to let you know that I have published a couple of blogs which you can read more about on my site below.

Inside Out…… Recently I was approached by a client looking for Coaching. She was struggling with her emotions in a stressful working environment and was hoping that Coaching would help her. As a practitioner and life long learner I needed to understand what was going on for her. I fundamentally ...

Week 3

The Heat is On .......

So, I continued to receive reiki on the odd occasion with various practitioners. I enjoyed the experience, but was still not convinced.

Then my life changed. My marriage broke up and I found myself experiencing a profound state of despair. It is a known fact that most people get stressed or depressed when they face mental and emotional trauma. Our negative energy increases and has an impact on our physical and mental well being.

I was miserable , so I took myself to a local clinic where I met Rhoda! I told her my story and we agreed a couple of sessions. Unknown to me my life was to change even further. While reiki was providing me with the relaxation and healing my body naturally, it was also developing my emotional, mental and spiritual well being.

Reiki is also knowingly used to treat chronic pain, infertility and other diseases however there is some controversy around this, as it is hard to prove its effectiveness through scientific means. I didn't care I was definitely feeling much more relaxed and sleeping better.

Some facts:
Reiki is a form of energy healing
Despite scepticism it is growing in popularity
It can treat many conditions and emotional states
Surgeries and hospital are introducing it more.

So, after several sessions I was reaping the benefits. Then,as I was leaving the clinic one day Rhoda turned to me and said ........you need to become a reiki practitioner, you’re a natural!!

If you would like to know anything about receiving reiki or my experiences. Feel free to drop me a line.

Out of Kilter.....

And so it began. My exploration of Reiki and my next session, this time received via a gift voucher. On this occasion the experience moved me emotionally.

It was not long after my Dad died and I decided that I needed something to unwind me. I wasn't sleeping and still grieving. I have heard that when you are experiencing any emotional feelings and feel out of kilter that Reiki will balance your energy.

So off I went, expecting a similar experience to the first time. Wow - this was totally different. The practitioner focused for quite a while on my heart. The heat from her hands and the colours I saw were one thing, but the emotions that followed surprised me. I could feel tears roll down my cheeks. At first I apologised for crying. I hadn't shared anything about my situation. It turned out that a common cause of tears is a release, caused through an emotional block, especially related to loss.

I have since worked with many clients who have experienced a similar release of emotions. There is a lot of energy released in tears. We always feel better after a good cry. Tears tap into the emotions behind our thoughts, many of which we hold that can lead to energy blocks within our physical and energy bodies.

So to that lady practitioner - 'thank you for making me cry'.

More of my journey next week ................

The First Time ...

I have been working with people using Reiki techniques for the past 3 years. It wasn't a simple process which led me down this path, it actually began many years before. This week I'm going to share my own reflections of the first time and the journey that followed.

Seventeen years ago after a car accident, I suffered severe neck and shoulder pain I found a therapist, who offered me as part of the treatment a FREE Reiki session. I think I was a test case, I didn't know anything about Reiki and thought why not, after all I was pretty desperate.

The practitioner carried out a technique where she hovered her hands over my body. Fully clothed I felt a warm tingling sensation running through me. I didn't have a clue what she was doing but I was so relaxed and enjoying it.

After the experience which lasted about 45 minutes (although it can last from 60-90 minutes) I wasn't sure what had happened but I was relaxed with a new surge of energy running through me.

There was no explanation afterwards so I wasn't very educated in what had just happened. Unknown to me this was my first encounter with a Japanese healing technique and not to be my last....... Needless to say I still had my shoulder pain.

But, more about that next week.

When was the last time you took time out from your busy life and relieve the stresses of the day?

Why not consider Reiki?

Did you know that scientific evidence have shown that Reiki can boost the immune system by increasing white blood cells, Yes, these are the cells which defend against germs or infections which give us colds and sore throats, Reiki is known to help to relieve pain, reduce stress and deeply relaxes to shift the energy of past, present and future situations.
