I recently went on a search to find a way to help connect with myself and find peace. Of course everyone knows about yoga and meditation, but few people that I know have heard of reiki (pronounced ray-key). Reiki came into my life as I was making huge changes. I recently relocated and moved with my 2 small children. We all had to get used to a new routine and my oldest son had to start a new school. I am so thankful he is an outgoing kid. We moved to a house that is surrounded by trees and nature. We have 2 cats, a dog, 3 fish and about 25 chickens now. Where as before we had no animals. So a totally new atmosphere as well. But we all love it!
So back to my point, reiki came to me when I needed it the most. I had seen something on a popular social media outlet about learning reiki and how to use it to help heal myself and others. Reiki is a Japenese energy healing technique using your hands to channel energy into a reciepient. The energy is already in all of us we just have to learn how to use it. Rei translates to "Higher power" and Ki translates to "life force energy". If you Google Reiki the definition you will get is "a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being."
I just finished my Level 1 reiki program and am currently studying for level 2. There are 3 levels to learning reiki and the 3rd level is the Master level which allows you to teach reiki to others, which is my goal. I am taking these classes online through Udemey. They offer so many great online courses at affordable prices. (I googled Udemy coupon to get a HUGE discount on the reiki courses.) I would love to have the opportunity to learn hands on with a reiki teacher but like I said earlier I have 2 small children and am now a single parent so making time for myself is hard these days. The Udemy course is so in depth and easy to follow that I am so glad I decided to join the class.
I am waiting on my attunment to be able to channel the energy from the universe and use reiki to it's full potential. The attunment is done by the reiki master. They channel the energy through you to ground you and release the energy within.
If you are interested in learning more about Reiki I would advice you to google Reiki or if you are interested in taking the online course sign up at Udemy.com
