Like you my life has changed over and over again since I received Reiki. It began almost straight away and then picked up pace when I trained as a master. After this I left mainstream work and began working as a therapist with Reiki and Bush Flower Essences which I trained in. I am still working as a therapist but in a completely different way now and i have just had my first book published. Reiki for me was the key that opened doors.

Reiki has made so much difference to me and to my life, I do not know where to begin! I initially learned Reiki to help me with my spinal condition, but as soon as I finished my level 1 and 2 course I knew my life would change. I felt that I had found something that was missing from my life and from me - Reiki made sense and made me make sense. I threw myself into Reiki and self-healed daily for between 3 and 5 hours (I still do) and I allowed myself to be guided so that what I wanted became irrelevant and what mattered was what I was guided to do. My awareness and understanding developed and grew and continues to do so. I left my job and became a full-time Reiki teacher and practitioner and as a result have touched the lives of many hundreds of people in a positive way. My spinal condition improved to the point that I can do intensive physical exercise everyday (rather than the doctor's belief that I would be crippled and in a wheelchair). So for me, Reiki has been the most amazing journey of healing and growth.

Definitely!! 😀

Not sure what else I can say other than that. I am more relaxed about life, appreciate the simple things more and feel that it has helped me find my life's purpose.

I really hold omega1 with a tremendous degree of respect within my heart and mind.

I feel that in the early founding days of Western Reiki that it attracted many people in the same league as omega1, but then as it grew more popular, its tendency evolved to attract more individuals like myself. I was someone who did not need physical healing, but rather healing of the psyche.

Through my early adulthood, I was a very angry, very disturbed individual. Things were so wrong inside my head that I continually sought abusive relationships, made many attempts at what might be called "passive suicide" (engaging in unsafe activities that might result in contracting a terminal illness), and eventually became homeless.

It was within the homeless shelter where my healing really began. After living there for a week, one evening I pulled the covers over my head, tuned-in to the reiki energies, and basically said "I give up," acknowledging to myself that living my life the way I thought it should be lived was wrong (which was a bit obvious, because if my way was so right I wouldn't have ended up in a shelter), and gave reiki permission to lead my life into the direction it wanted me to go.

The reiki healing occurred instantaneously, but it took several years to integrate that healing into the rest of my life. Four months later I was out of the homeless shelter, paying rent, and laboring hard to make ends meet and also to make preparations so that situation never befell me again.

I succeeded.

Today I own homes on both coasts of the U.S., and am footing the bill while my husband pursues a degree in Western medicine (while I pursue degrees, too).

Reiki can awaken unlimited potential, unlimited healing within a person.

I think that really sums up Reiki beautifully!

I am in an uncomforable place right now because i know changes have to be made, i think that reiki has brought me to this place, i know i will be happier once i have made these changes, it s just going to take courage

Easy answer...YES. Before I was attuned I was a less than happy pharmacist. Having been attuned I have grown and developed in ways I could never have predicted. If anyone had told me in 2008 that in 2013 I would be working as a hypnotherapist, reiki practitioner and psychic reader I would have told them they were mad........yet here I am 😀

I've done my Reiki 2 and before I did either level heard lots of stories about how Reiki had had an amazing effect on people's lives and had changed them beyond recognition.

However, I have not experienced anything like this and wonder if I received the attunements properly? (on my part not the person doing the courses!)

Great to read so many stories here of how it has helped 🙂

I think the experiences people have when they are attuned are very individual and right for them. Not everyone has life changing experiences, for some people it is more subtle changes they go through and for some there are no discernible changes. This does not mean the attunements have not worked, it is a reflection of what is needed. Also, the person receiving the attunments does not affect the attunement process and cannot stop the attunement from working (as long as they actually sit and let the teacher attune them) - as long as the teacher carries out the attunements correctly, they will work.

My attunements were uneventful in themselves however it is as I look back over my life I realise how having Reiki in my life has brought about changes which I don't believe would have occurred otherwise and I don't just mean events that have occurred I also mean how I have changed over time. So Clarabell I say give it time - you may suddenly realise one day when you look back and review your life and yourself that there were changes but they weren't earth-shattering or immediately noticed but they were changes nevertheless 😉

My changes have not been explosive but gradual and looking back i can see that it started with reiki. Im in a difficult place at themoment but am trying to trust that this is all happening for my highest good and am trying to not fight it, you keep on with the healing. Im sure it will be clear to me one day why all of this has happened i just need to learn patience not my greatest virtue,

The greatest change is the believing to be usefull to other...

I was introduced to reiki when I got a massage. The massage therapist was amazing (Leslie Styles) and she got to spot that wouldn't respond. Her hands got hot and in a moment the pain was gone. Afterwards I asked her about it and she told me the word "Reiki". She was a Master but didn't teach; so I had to go elsewhere....da ta dada...Amazon dot com...yaaaaaa.

From there I was introduced to Louise Hay, William Lee Rand, Diane Stein and others. I had a lifetime of embarrassing hot hands. Now I realized that they were triggered by sick people (but the result was I absorbed their pain). I was uncomfortable in groups and preferred to be alone (now I knew why). I had been invited onto the path many times in my life (I'm 63) but now I was ready to get on it.

I can see where Reiki is a perfect accompiment to a touching healing art, like massage or chiropractic care. But out by it self??? After attaining master teacher of 2 modalities...I was still unsure how to implement it into my life (I am an artist). Contunuing studies in aura healing and a small foray into karuna Reiki prepared me for the introduction to reconective healing.

I think this will compliment my goal to be a life coach (my goal for when I am 70). I have only just begun but this is how it has effected my life so far.

I was introduced to reiki when I was 57, hypnotherapy and life coach training was done when I was 59. It is NEVER to late 🙂

:rollaugh: no not till I'm dead :rolleyes: and even then...well...that depnds on your believe system.

I'm thinking life coach but maybe a witch in the woods that people seek out for help with their thoughts or illness.

I have to tell you that I am a late bloomer with much to learn. But...I had mothers day with my 92 year old mother today and I still go to her for help with my thoughts and pain in my heart :044: My daughter lived for 3 months after her healing and went with me to get my Reiki 1 and 2 training. When we came back from the trip she died in her sleep in my home. I was given 3 more months with her.

I am a permanent makeup artist (I tattoo eyebrows on women's face that have none). You find my website under my name dot com. I also have a school and teach on the national level. I do not do energy healing for a living. I am overcome by enormity and responsibility of it all. I feel unworthy to...I don't know. It will come to me. Though I have done some guidance/ support with another natural healer as we travel the same path. When I start to do energy healing for a living...I will transform part of my school for it.

I have thought of doing prescription jewelry. Made for each client from stones that may balance or help them on their journey. Yea...sounds like a witch :p
