Reiki pronounced "rake - ee" was a brand new word I had never heard of when it came into my path of life. I was deep into my meditation practices at this point and reading meditation and mindfulness books. I crave learning and when I saw a book called "Reiki Master: Your Mindfulness Teacher" at a garage sale I was automically intrugied. I usually ask the owners of the book from the garage sale to tell me about their experience with a book like this but the owner's daughter was running it and had no idea. It was a mystery and I was very excited to learn about it. What I learned was that it is an ancient form of energy healing. Historians really aren't sure when it began but other cultures have their own forms of energy healing. It has been recorded that Native American, Indian, East Asian, African, Pacific Islanders, and many more places and cultures around the world have their own forms of energy healing. Reiki, had been made mainstream by. But what actually was reiki? From my reading it is when a reiki master places their hands onto your different energy zones(also known as Chakras) and converts God's energy through them onto you to cleanse you. The reiki master works as a channel and isn't effected by your energy or God's energy. Now reading this I was very skeptical. I may had even scoffed. But my curiosity led me to any reiki masters working in The Villages. And by jove there was one! I booked a session and was able to get in in a few days. Now, I want to make note that I did NOT read in the book what happends after the reiki session symtpoms wise. Becuase sometimes I feel like if people say you will feel light then you are expecting that and talk yourself into that. So everything was going to be a complete mystery. I did read in the book to prep for your reiki session to eat nothing but clean foods for three days straight. It may had been one day I can't remember but I wanted to do three days just to make sure. So I twinged my already whole food plant based diet to abolsutley no rugar or bread, basically raw. The day of my appointment I woke up after a bountiful night sleep, meditated, and then my dad drove me to the office. The office was calming and quiet. There were crystals and salt lamps and the women who owned the reiki practice was going to be my reiki master. She took me to a back room with a foundtain and crystald and asked me what chakra felt the most blocked. I immeditalty told her my 4th chakra also known as the heart chakra. She put me on a massage table and as I lay looking at the ceiling I put my trust into her and closed my eyes and began a formal meditation session while remaining present with my sourroundings. She rang a senza bell and few times even placing them near my head. First she began on my crown chakra and then 3rd eye lightly placing her hands on them. She went down the rest of my body placing her hands very gently over my chakras. She did this about twice all the way through. This session was about 45 minutes. During this time my stomach kept growling! What was strange was I wasn't even hungry. I had no idea why it was doing that. Then my lips were getting very dry. I kept licking them to keep them reguality moist. After the session was over she gave me a bottle of water and recommnedated I take a nap when I got home. My dad needed to stop and get an oil change to our car so while I was in the car waiting I was slowly feeling more and more ill. I felt like I needed to lay down. I just felt off like I was sick. We got home and I took a long nap and awoke still feeling a bit ill. I was mostly fatigued. I cracked openined the reiki book to the chaper of the after effects. O.M.G. Word for word text book I was feeling exactly how the book described! Grumblign stomach, dry lips, and feeling ill and fatigued for maybe 48 horus after the session. I felt a little sick the rest of the day and for most of the day after. I'll be honest though, after the reiki session I didn't physically feel that much different. I didn't have any changed to my formal meditation, like no preminitions or apiphanies. Several weeks later I decided to do another reiki session. The book said after you do reiki once you're able to do it again to yourself. I followed a do it. yourself reiki session on Insight Timer. After performing reiki on myself for about 45 minutes it happned again! It worked and cleansed me! I think the enegeries deep down were being healed but I will be honest with you it worked. Something shifted my energies. I may do it again one day.
