Reiki Power!


My life has been a beautiful tapestry of synchronous moments - when particular turning-points have been dictated by the universe and not me. I recall specific moments - like the time my friend on the other side was anxious to talk to me. Signs for psychics everywhere. I would open the phonebook - on the page for psychic ads. The radio show that day would have a psychic guest.

Or more recently, I came across Reiki. I was reading about scientific studies on healing through the hands. They naturally mentioned Reiki. I did my daily blog and in looking for images, I stumbled across Reiki. Then I went to yoga that night. The instructor, out of a room full of people came over to me and touched my back during one of the resting positions. Later, I inquired about it, because it had so relaxed me, just that light light touch. She casually said "I put a little Reiki in it". This was, let me remind you, within 24 hours of all that other Reiki stuff. It was like, 'okay, universe, I get it'. The fact is, I was meant to get into Reiki at this time.

The more I looked into it, the more I thought about the wonderful things I could do if I knew Reiki. I would visit my friend with brain cancer and give him Reiki sessions. I would help my husband with his constant indigestion. I would even help myself with my heart chakra, which seems to be doing a spring cleaning of sorts these days.

So I started researching the how and wheres to becoming a Reiki healer. It turns out that you can't learn the Reiki, exactly. Instead, a Reiki master has to give you the energy force. I don't quite understand this, except that it seems that by the act of receiving this from a master, your system gets cleaned out, like a giant chakral colonic. And then you become a conduit for it - able to use it to heal yourself and others.

Kinda makes me want to don a cape and spandex - and shout "Reiki power!" into the sky.
