One random day in July 2024, I woke up and asked my wife “What is Reiki?” She mentioned some esoteric concepts pretty much echoing my own understanding. Seemingly out of nowhere I had this burning desire to know more about Reiki. Throughout that day, I couldn’t shake the thought and & feeling I had awoken with.
So, that evening I did what anyone does these days, and Googled the daylights out of it. I could feel myself getting drawn into Reiki right there because the descriptions about it spoke to me. You ever get that feeling that something is made for you? I was hungry for more knowledge. After hours of research, I signed up for a full REIKI online diploma course.
A few months later when I was back at work (this time Offshore India), an old tooth abscess reared up and I was in absolute agony. I was debating with myself how I was going to leave the project, (typically by helicopter medi-vac) but as I was the only offshore manager onsite, that option was dire...
Then it hit me! Why not try that Reiki stuff you are doing your course in? So I did, and in about 17 minutes the pain went away. I mean gone. Completely gone. That was months ago. The entire problem has since reversed itself. It’s a freakin miracle.
Then another day - offshore again, I developed a pain in my left heel, where I could not put any pressure on it. I just woke up that day with the intense aggravation, so I Reikied that too - & Voila! Pain gone. I thought I was being punked, but how? I vowed then & there that I would pursue REIKI further and properly. When I got home I took a professional in-person Reiki Course to get a recognized level 1 certification.
In essence, Reiki is a spiritual healing art, rooted in Japan, and now practiced throughout the world. Reiki is the healing life energy that flows abundantly through the ether and everyone has the ability to tap into this energy through intention. A client lies down on a message bed, fully clothed, and through the placement of hands on specific body areas, the intelligent life force heals the bodies imbalances. I believe this energy is a gift from our creator.
My own Reiki has evolved somewhat over this first year. Whenever I perform Reiki, I’m definitely coupling to the Universal Life Force and channel that energy through myself and into my client. The entire practice for me, is soulful and another opportunity to connect with the divine.
In an age where more people seem unhealthier than ever, and where medical practice dictates the use of pharmaceuticals for everything, a totally natural healing method is most welcome. 5 Pillar Health is all about natural health modalities and freedom from institutional entities. Reiki fits right into the 5PH ethos “Advocating freedom, independence, and spiritual growth”
I never anticipated that Reiki would become a part of my life, never saw it coming. I am now very honored to offer my Reiki practice alongside my coaching program in self-sabotage.
