How my journey began...

My journey with Reiki began in 2001 when I suffered an injury to my neck and back.  I chose not to have surgery for disc damage in my neck and a pinched nerve, which was very risky surgery at the time.  After more than a year in pain, I began to look to alternatives to pain medication and muscle relaxers.  My husband and I traveled to a Holistic Fair and there my journey began.  I had never heard of Reiki before but was intrigued listening to this woman speak about it to another person.  I wrote my name on her list and came back at the appointed time for a small demonstration.  I sat in the chair and she proceeded to place her hands on my shoulders.  I was amazed at the immediate heat that was generated and the relaxing of the spasms in my upper back.  I signed up for Reiki I and that is when things began to change.  Reiki made it possible for me to begin healing and become functional again.  This has so helped me that I endeavor to share it with others by giving treatments and by teaching others what I have learned so they may also learn and benefit from the joys of Reiki.
