Tales From a Reiki Master

Welcome to my first blog post! I have been resisting the call to write for many years. Maybe even many lifetimes. But here I go, stepping into all kinds of vulnerability, facing fears and doubt, but I know this is what I need to do. I actually want, need and am driven to write! I hope these writings touch you in healing ways and resonate in some way. Here I go......

Let's first visit the title: Tales of a Reiki Master. For those of you who are not familiar with Reiki, it is a light- touch energy medicine therapy that works directly on the parasympathetic nervous system to bring the body into homeostasis, balance. I was lead to this path of Reiki first to heal myself. Being a Reiki Master Teacher was not on the life plan I carved out for myself when I was in school. However, life rarely goes according to our plan when we design in our teen and twenties. It does however, go according to the plan of the Universe.

I was sick quite a bit as a kid, teenager and then as a young adult. No doctor really figured out what to do with me. There were many "guesses" of diagnoses ranging from Lupus to "it's all in your head."

Many years of debilitating pain, depression, suffering in all ways. Most importantly, I was not living. I was just about at the point of believing that this was my life and I should just let it be, when a Board-Certified, Nationally Renowned doctor looked me in the eye and said, "This is it for you. You need to manage your pain and deal with it. It is in your head." I cried for days. Then I got angry. He was wrong. This was not it for me. Looking back, I know it was Spirit, God, Source, The Universe, whatever you believe the higher power is, actually shook and said Let's Go! That moment changed my trajectory.

It took many years after that moment before Reiki found me, but I needed to to go through all that I did to be in the place to receive Reiki. This beautiful gift of energy healing found me at the exact right moment. Looking back, I am incredibly grateful for all that I went through to get to where I am today. I say that with unwavering knowing that I needed to go through all the physical and emotional pain and dis-ease, to be a Reiki Master Teacher who knows what true, deep healing is like. All of this is part of my journey so I can reach those who are ready for true healing and connection to their True Self.

In this blog, I plan to share my experiences in hopes of empowering, inspiring and impacting all who read it in a positive and healing way.I invite you to be open to learning something new to take for yourself or for a loved one. Healing begins with you, but it ripples to others. We are all connected and our healing empowers and heals others.

In Love and Light,
