Have you ever felt that the whole world is against you and that your life is running from one drama into another? That’s exactly where I was just six years ago. Then a car accident causing physical injuries became my turning point.

Orthodox medicine helped to some extent, but I was told I would be left with constant pain and some degree of debilitation for the rest of my life. I couldn’t accept this and felt there must be another way to give me a healthier lifestyle. I tried several different complimentary therapies before finding reiki.

I had a series of weekly reiki treatments over a period of about three months and was surprised to find that a lot of emotional and psychological issues that I had buried, and didn’t want to acknowledge because they were painful, seemed to be being released. I realised that whilst I had been thinking about my current issues at the time of the accident the problems that were surfacing were much deeper and related to my childhood. My childhood beliefs had formed a wall of protection and were helping to create the dramas in my life. Reiki enabled me to release those beliefs and my reiki practitioner helped me to understand how those beliefs had caused blockages in my energy system (chakras), and the end result was the car accident.

Reiki not only freed me of most of my physical pain but also helped me become a much calmer person. Things that would have wound me up previously seemed to just wash over me and I stopped running from one crisis to another.

The universal life force energy (reiki) is channelled through the practitioner, and goes to wherever the blockages are, releasing them in the correct order to promote the body’s natural ability to heal itself and bring a feeling of well-being and calm to the person. It’s not a quick fix and needs a degree of commitment.

I now use reiki to help prevent those negative blocks from building up, which has resulted in me leading a calmer, happier, more positive life.

Over the coming months, I will share with you why I started to teach reiki, as well as specific case studies of including reiki healing for children.
