15 minutes. That’s all it took to change my life.
I didn’t expect a Reiki session to completely shift my mindset, but it did.
I wanted to share something that genuinely changed my life and continues to be a passion of mine: Reiki.
If I had to describe Reiki in one sentence, it would be this:
It resets you, brings clarity, and gently guides you back onto the right path.
So how did my journey begin?
Like many people, my wife and I used to treat ourselves to a monthly massage. About five years ago, during one of those sessions, my therapist asked whether I had heard of Reiki. My answer was probably familiar to many: “Yes, I’ve heard of it… but I don’t really know what it is.”
She offered to incorporate Reiki into the final 15 minutes of my massage. That short experience had a profound impact on me.
What I felt and experienced during that session, and in the days that followed, was unlike anything I had known before. I was deeply relaxed, my stress levels reduced dramatically, and my outlook on life shifted for the better. Those changes have stayed with me ever since.
That moment sparked a journey of learning. I went on to complete my Reiki Level 1, Level 2, and ultimately my Reiki Master qualification.
For those unfamiliar, Reiki means “universal life energy.” It’s the energy that flows through all living things. Reiki works by allowing that energy to flow freely through the body, supporting balance and wellbeing. And importantly, anyone can learn Reiki.
Every Reiki session is unique and delivers exactly what the individual needs in that moment. Some of the many benefits include:
• Enhanced wellbeing and a greater sense of calm and balance
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Support for the body’s natural healing processes
• Improved sleep
• Emotional balance and resilience
• Pain management and support during chronic illness or cancer journeys
A common misconception is that you need to be spiritual to benefit from Reiki, you don’t. You can be sceptical, curious, or completely unsure, and Reiki can still have a positive effect. Much like gravity, you don’t need to understand how it works for it to work.
Today, I work as a mobile therapist, supporting people in their homes or workplaces. I offer Reiki and Reflexology; another powerful treatment focused on the feet. Being mobile allows me to support clients who may not be able to travel due to health or mobility challenges, and meeting people on this journey has been incredibly rewarding.
This is just the beginning for me. The more awareness we raise about Reiki, the more people can experience its benefits, and I truly believe that contributes to a healthier, more balanced world.
