Reiki Training Journey

I’m honoured to be the student of some truly phenomenal teachers, and proud to be a part of a network of healers who are deeply motivated by bringing light energy into the world.

Emerging from the other side of the Reiki training journey, of which deep self-healing is a key component, I’m pleased and truly humbled by how much I know now that I don’t know. As we laughed, learned from our teacher, and healed one another, we also witnessed and experienced some incredible breakthroughs.

Among the more skeptical, it can appear that energetic healing modalities are contingent on "believing"; that it’s something you either do or don’t "buy into". From this standpoint it’s easy to dismiss success stories or healing outcomes as merely anecdotal. And I get it; there is a degree of discomfort in accepting the things that we can’t “see”. There is real kernel of truth embedded within this observation too. Reiki rule #1 is that you can’t heal those who don’t want to be healed. In other words; the sunshine can't come in if you don’t open the blinds.

Those who have been there know that the experience of a Reiki healing is about as real and sensory as it gets. Not only does this modality have the profound ability to reduce stress, improve sleep, and ease physical pain post treatment, but it also tangibly demonstrates the field of energy surrounding each one of us in real time. To feel this in a treatment (hopefully) begins to awaken the understanding that the physical, mental/emotional, and energetic aspects of our health are all very present and inextricably linked.

With general awareness of the holistic nature of our health proliferating on a collective scale, the potential is endless. Reiki is already being used as a complimentary treatment in hospitals and around the world is recognised as a standalone therapeutic option for a variety of conditions. Beyond the official seals of approval, this expanded understanding of wellbeing extends an invitation of individual empowerment. Each of us has been gifted with an unprecedented toolkit of modalities through which we can influence our health on every level.

Proactively addressing and balancing your energetic state is a profound advantage in almost every arena of life. The entire experience of reality begins and ends with our energy. By addressing the energetic cause of imbalance, we can heal deeply and prevent the manifestation of dis-ease in the body and mind. We can live with vitality.
