Reiki



Once a month, my Reiki Master, my Spiritual Sister and I give Reiki to all who enter the Sanctuary seeking healing at church. Reiki is a very powerful healing energy with one practitioner but when you triple it, it's like a continual grand finale at the fireworks show. Reiki changes your perspective in so many ways. It's hard to describe, when you talk about it you sort of become at a loss for words which is way I think people think we are woo woo. How do you describe something truly mystical? The Tao te Ching says: That which can be named is not the Eternal Name. But I'll try.

When I am healing someone I feel like there is a white band of light connecting me directly to God and a warm red pool around my feet which is rooting me to Earth. Maybe times I feel Jesus hands right on top of mine giving an added boost of healing when it is needed. Often my clients will remark on it-- they feel the presence also. You don't have to be Christian to know that Jesus was a powerful healer. With all that energy coming through me, I feel the effects for days, it's beautiful and calm, keeps getting stronger and deeper as time goes on.

Last night was very overwhelming. Before we started I spent a bit of time in the sacristy visualizing a white light spiraling around me in protection allowing nothing but pure Love to emanate from me to whoever needed it. I was very glad I did. It is a privilege to be so intimately involved in other's healing. It is an honor to be a conduit of God's Love when people are so desperately in need. I am humbled and moved by the triad of healing Jan, Sheree & I created and the willingness and courage of those being healed to open themselves up to it.

After we were finished with the first round of seekers, we had a chance to do a bit of healing on one another. I wonder if un-attuned people feel the same vibrations of energy that exists when healers work on one another? I just felt wave after wave rolling across my body, it was so powerful. I felt as if there was nothing I had to do but just enjoy the ride. I could feel the areas that needed some help--they were twitching with electricity, popping. When they worked on my head, my ears started ringing. Later when we worked on the next round, one of the clients said she could hear the sound of our healing ringing in her ears. Amazing.

I realize this entry has just rambled. Oh well. I am blessed to have this gift. I am thankful everyday that the Reiki came to me. I am grateful for the opportunity to share it. Last night was beautiful-- you never know how much you need something until you have it.
