Thriving with Scott

Energy Healing and me

Almost 15 years ago, I became certified as a Level I Reiki practitioner and began an on-again, off-again long learning process. Three years ago, as I write this, I started feeling ill, and within six months, I had lost 55 lbs of lean mass, and for a period of time, I was losing a pound per day. I realized at that point that I only weight so much, and there was a finite limit before there was nothing left of me. I also realized that this was impossible, but it is frightening realizing that simple math could tell me the maximum time I had left, and something, from a health perspective, had to improve quickly, because I would not make it much longer.

I was pretty much confined to bed, and although I could walk, I had limited strength in my legs, and even something as simple as a trip to the grocery store had to be kept brief, or my legs would start buckling. My energy was very limited, and I was sleeping 18-20 hours per day. It wasn’t that I was just laying around watching TV... I couldn’t stay awake for more than 90 minutes at a time before I got so drowsy, I couldn’t keep my eyes open. It felt like I had been drugged. This is actually a very short list of my maladies, and it would take pages to cover them all. But these were a few of big issues I was facing.

That was about 18 months ago, and upon reflection, I think I nearly died back then. But... then I simply made the decision I was going to survive, and not only survive, but to thrive. Fortunately for me, because of my interest in Reiki, I had been exposed to many techniques for increasing and balancing the human energy system. I had always found it fascinating, and so I designed a program to use every technique I have ever learned in an intensive daily practice (about six hours per day), which heavily incorporated self-administered Reiki.

After about six weeks, many of my symptoms improved significantly. Realizing that I might be able to help others, I took the training needed to become a Reiki Master and get certified to give Reiki Sessions to the public. Although I was giving Reiki to a few freinds and family, as well as a few other Reikians (as a friend of mine calls us) I decided to expand this practice by teaming up with a wonderful organization, Better Bodies Health Center in Fort Worth where I started in October 2018.
