30 years ago this month I completed m y 1st
degree Reiki class. I heard that Hawayo
Takata said that
In about 1989, the year I learned Reiki |
Health
Reiki self-treatment led to discovering the cause of my lack
of physical energy – which manifest almost like ME symptoms at times with
associated painful joints and muscles. An
intuition that sugar was a problem for my body and having the courage thanks to
Reiki’s support to go to my doctor for further investigation led to a diagnosis
of type 2 diabetes. The Reiki principles
helped me to deal with this diagnosis and the Reiki philosophy of self-care and
a natural approach to healing led me to decline medication and achieve
remission of my diabetes through stress management, nutrition and
exercise. I have regained my vitality and
am also better at keeping things in balance.
So yes Reiki has given me health!
Happiness
Mentally and emotionally I was in a difficult place when I
learned Reiki: grieving for my father and even before that subject to a
negative outlook on life. Reiki was like
a ray of sunlight breaking through on a dark day and has continued to be
so. It enabled me to allow love into my
life, bringing me together with the man who has now been my wonderful husband
for the past 25 years. Reiki brought a
different way of looking at the world and helped me to deepen my spiritual life. Through
this I have found a peace and joy I had not experienced since early childhood
and did not expect to find again. So
Reiki has certainly brought me happiness and I feel this will continue to grow
as the years pass.
Long Life
Mrs Takata would often say to students: “prepare for a long
life”. Until my diabetes was diagnosed,
I suspect I was at risk of an early death from stroke, heart attack or other
complications of being diabetic. My father
was only 58 when he died, so although there are other members of my family who
have lived into their 80s it may well have been more likely that I would die
sooner rather than later. I also had no
particular desire to live a long life. Reiki
has given me a purpose and through becoming less driven I have found other creative
passions such as singing, so that I now lead 3 singing groups and plan to write
songs too. This has given me a much
greater engagement with life. I therefore
have more motivation to make any changes needed to conserve and even improve my
health, so I am indeed preparing for a long life!
Success
This was sometimes spoken of as ‘prosperity’ and for a long
time I did not find this aspect to be true in my life, due to my low income. However, I have been able to do amazing
things in my life even so: thanks to my Reiki worki I have travelled to the Idaho
and Arizona in the USA, Australia, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Kazakhstan and of
course Japan. For all of these adventures at least part of
the cost has come from the support of others, so I have been truly blessed and
feel that I am very successful and prosperous, even though I don’t earn a lot
of money! What a miracle! I am also blessed to have a cozy home, good
food and most importantly loving relationships that enable me to do my Reiki
work. I feel successful in my work in
that I receive the esteem of my colleagues who are often willing to listen to
my thoughts. So I also think that Reiki
has brought me success.
May Reiki also bring you health, happiness, a long life and success.
