The joy of receiving Reiki
If Reiki can be spread throughout the world, it will touch the human heart and the morals of society. It will be helpful for many people, not only healing disease, but the Earth as a whole.” Dr Usui
I went for Reiki recently and it reminded me how wonderful it is to receive Reiki from someone else, in addition to the Reiki that I channel to myself daily and that I receive when channelling to others.
I feel it’s really important for me at least to take the time to receive and to continue to work on myself, and because of teaching and indeed practising yoga, let alone all the cycling, walking and swimming, I regularly go for massage with Sam Le Compte if I can, and I go through phases of SHEN with Jo Henton, but I don’t always have the opportunity to receive Reiki, because of course one needs to connect with the practitioner.
I used to love seeing Lynn-Marie on Sark but sadly she has now left the island, but I chanced upon anther lady locally because I knew that I needed Reiki. See that’s the thing with Reiki. It does call. My soul needed reiki. It was a challenging year 2022, lots of change, and the bike accident at the end of November triggered a whole heap more stuff to process and heal, and this on top of the effect of releasing my book into the world, which I hadn’t anticipated would prompt such a healing crisis as it did.
So yes, my soul was craving Reiki. It wanted nourishing. And peace. It also wanted support in helping me to let go of that which i no longer need, and create space for the new to come in. It’s a transition process and I have noticed then when transitioning, I have a greater need for Reiki, as it beautifully supports the process and in a gentle and peaceful way too.
That’s the thing with Reiki, it is nourishing and nurturing in its approach, holding us softly as we relax into it and let go, it calls especially to us sensitive souls, because of its gentle nature, not to say it won’t press our buttons as it does, sometimes ushering in a healing crisis which can be difficult to manage in that moment, as it feels as if things are getting worse, but of course it’s process and it quickly pops us through the other side, into a lighter and brighter state of being, no longer held back or restricted by whatever it was that the Reiki helped to release.
I always feel more whole, centred and grounded after a Reiki treatment as if all parts have been woven back together and any knots worked through, things are calmer, I have more energy and feel stronger within myself, in a more resourceful and balanced state of being. There is greater possibility. I am no longer bound down by my mental projections, imaginings and reflections. Essentially, there is greater potential and possibility, more clarity, more ease and with that, more presence.
I mean there are so many benefits to Reiki, not only does it calm and soothe the spirit, but it also calms and soothes the other bodies too, mental, emotional and physical. That’s probably it’s greatest gift. Because once there is greater calmness, then everything shifts. The nervous system settles, the mind releases some of its agitation, the emotions settle and we just feel better about ourselves.
For some one session is enough, but I always find that a course of treatments, usually three, is really helpful in moving me on from one way of being to another, and allowing greater freedom on all levels of being. I am truly passionate about sharing Reiki for this very reason. For those of you who have read any of my books, Namaste, Dancing with the Moon and/or From Darkness Comes Light, you’ll know the helpful and indeed crucial role that Reiki has played in my life. It is both an amazing gift and a wonderful blessing and I am forever grateful to the universe and powers that be, to my higher self then, for calling it in.
It’s supported me through severe depression and anxiety, through various relationship and career changes, through IVF, C-section and the post-natal period, let alone with the demands of motherhood, supporting my children with their healing, the nursing staff were so surprised how quickly Eben began thriving in NICU as a premature baby initially needing oxygen and I accredit that to the Reiki, so too helping Elijah heal from the effect of school which sadly challenged his sensitivity.
It is quite incredible and if you are reading this and have never received Reiki previously then I would definitely encourage you to do so. You can find out more information here. I don’t believe anyone ever regrets bringing Reiki into their life, whether that be through a one-to one treatment or by becoming attuned to the energy - it is a true gift to the self. Essentially it is the energy of love, which heals and supports our personal and spiritual development so I’m not sure what there is not to love about that!
For those of you who have received Reiki previously and/or are attuned to Reiki then we’re on the look out for testimonials, which you might share through Facebook or here at the bottom of this blog, and which we can use on them website, to help others take the plunge. We’ve probably all done that before, where we’re teetering about doing a course or buying a product and we welcome the testimonials and reviews of others, to give us confidence in joining up or making a sale. In my experience, it is always helpful to have the insight of others to help make a decision.
So please, if you are able to provide a testimonial then we here at Beinspired would be very grateful. We’re all of us, me, Katie and Jo, passionate about the benefits of Reiki as it has touched each of our lives in wonderful ways and we are keen to do what we can to take Reiki out further into the world. We feel that if everyone was attuned to Reiki then this world would be a much more loveable and compassionate place to live.
The thing is, when you bring Reiki into your life, your consciousness expands and your vibration increases (you lighten up), and that has a knock on effect on everyone around you and on the planet as a whole and that absolutely needs to be encouraged and indeed celebrated - it’s almost like making a statement to our subconscious minds that we are ready to take control of our lives, our health, our spiritual well-being and we are going to do it with our own two hands.
