Adelle - Our Angel Baby

I was introduced to Reiki a couple of years ago by a close friend.  Since November, I have had the blessing of receiving several Reiki treatments by the warming hands of Mel. 

Essentially, Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

 You may or may not believe in the healing powers of Reiki, but I am living proof that it is a wonderful way to help heal the body and heart, especially while greiving.  I think that gifts like Reiki (and people) come around when you need them most. When going through a traumatic experience it's ok, and probably essential, to learn from it and take from it what you can.  For me, Reiki among others, has played an important role.
 
I registered for Reiki training a couple of months ago (after seeing the positive effect it had on me).  Starting tomorrow, I will know a lot more about Reiki and also be able to give Reiki treatments, all taught by a woman who has been doing Reiki for over 40 years.  I hope to be able to share Reiki with others, just as Mel has shared with me.
