I discovered Reiki shortly after I was lead down the path of teaching yoga. One of my roommates performed Reiki on me after I was badly injured and I will never forget that feeling. The next day I was in better spirits and able to move much more freely.
For as long as I can remember, I knew I wanted to be a healer. I just had no idea what path to take.

Veterinarian was my first choice because of my love for animals, but after failing Chemistry I realized I wasn't cut out for it. Nursing was my second choice. I even completed my CNA. Clinicals at both the hospital and an Alzheimer's unit at a nursing home had me in tears, much too emotional for that.
If I could help people heal themselves through yoga practice, the addition of Reiki seemed like a given to me.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is known as the universal life force. We are all made of up energy, and sometimes that energy can feel clustered or clogged (headaches, digestion issues, anxiety, etc). Reiki helps to connect the energy centers of the body and help the body heal itself. Anyone can do Reiki. It is a force that is waiting to be tapped into, available to all.
While I had knowingly performed Reiki on myself prior to becoming certified, I noticed a big change after completing my Reiki course.
A certified Reiki practitioner receives an attunement from a Reiki master. In this process, the master transfers wisdom and power to the student. I had my attunement with Lisa Powers about a month ago and felt the difference in my Reiki over the next few days. My intuition was heightened and I could feel and read energy much more effectively. I felt the difference but had to share with others to find out for sure if it was real.
One of my lovely yoga students suffers from abdominal discomfort due to past medical issues. During savasana, I wave my hand over the front of her body and I can feel the vibrations and the warmth in her midsection from above her, so I place my hand there. I place my other hand on the crown of her head, in hope that the wisdom of the mind can better connect with the body. I stayed there for about a minute as tears began to roll down her cheeks. She told me that she could feel the vibrations. I'm not sure if it has helped her health just yet, but am pleased to know that she felt something.
Interested? Let's talk! Reiki is a gift to be shared with the world. Distance Reiki sessions are available as well.
I'll leave you tonight with the Five Reiki Principles written by Reiki Master Dr. Mikao Usui. It's a reminder that every day is a chance to start anew.
