Reiki Benefits

Grace through weaving

I had offered a Calligraphy session on 23/6/24. However the Universe had other plans for me that day. Two people who had wanted to come for calligraphy could not make it. The only person who could come that day, I knew she would prefer to do weaving. I checked with her and yes she preferred to do weaving that day. I myself had been more drawn to weaving during the preceding weeks.

I have been learning to surrender when unexpected things happen, especially more than one! I could have cancelled the event but I chose not to. I decided to go ahead even though there was only two of us.

That morning I took out my notes from the previous session I had offered earlier in the year. I was amazed to notice the date of the previous weaving session was 23/3/24. The two dates were exactly three months apart! …

Curiosity and Healing

A Reiki student mentioned raised liver enzyme levels recently. I myself have had raised blood sugar levels. The next morning I woke up worrying about my frozen/thawing shoulder.

Awe and Wonder with Reiki

Learning about how experiencing awe and wonder can be a doorway to our wellbeing, I remembered a phrase I heard many years ago about Reiki from Rick Bockner, another one of the 22 Reiki Masters initiated by Mrs Hawayo Takata about Reiki – ‘Experience the wonder and wonder about the experience’. Practising Reiki for over 22 years now, I have been experiencing many many benefits. Today I realise that my ability to experience awe and wonder was also being honed over the years. I have been looking for awe and wonder in the external. It is indeed easier to connect with awe and wonder in nature. But awe and wonder is all around us, in simple everyday life, in our body. It is easy to experience and wonder with Reiki, through the simple act of placing Reiki hands on the body.

I am often asked by new Reiki students what should I be doing with the mind during self treatment. In such moments I feel grateful for the simplicity and effortless nature of Reiki practice. I know from personal experience that stilling the mind is impossible, yet Reiki heals despite the mind/attention wandering….

Thursday Reiki Circle

I started the Thursday online Reiki Circle during Covid times while I was serving on the Board of The Reiki Association, with the help of The Reiki Association community. Initially it was offered every week. Gradually it became monthly. Last few months I have been wondering about whether to continue offering it….
