Validation in a crowd

Sometimes, individuals are nervous to tell anyone they have had a Reiki session, and sometimes they are not. Yesterday at the salon we held a Red Hot Deal Day.  All our spa services were 1/2 price, which included Reiki sessions.

There was a lady who stood in line waiting for us to open and told people about her experience with Reiki.  She came in presenting with terrible neck pain, from an injury.  The pain was getting unbearable, and the day she came in I posted a 30 min. try me session for $10 on Facebook.  She came in asking when she could try me, I could tell she was hurting.  The other girls were away at a hair class, so I was able to take her back right then and there.

She left that day, with the pain eased, and happy with our session. The next day I sent her a message, asking about her.  She wrote back, letting me know that her neck was feeling much better and she was ecstatic with the results.  Yesterday, she told everyone that while she still has issues since that session she has not hurt like she did the day she came in.  The old pain was a normal for her. The neat thing with Reiki, the more you do it the better the results.  She is ready to come see me to work on her back injury.

As a reminder, my repeat clients are offered a special rate.  I in no way want to make someone go broke, coming to see me.  Times are tough for all of us.  If I could work for free and all my bills were paid for I would.  I enjoy Reiki sessions and my clients that much! With that said, if you are in need of Reiki and can not pay for it, please do not let that stand in your way.  We can always work something out. :)

My next blog, will be about an individual who presented with terrible sleep issues. Her story is amazing as well. I have so many stories to tell and it's hard deciding which should be told when. So hang on!

Not everyone has the same results, and I'm no way a substitute for sound medical advice.  While there are no negative side effects of Reiki, you should always consult a doctor when looking to be diagnosed and treated for and with a medical condition.

How I Found A Peace to Share

I would like to apologize in advance for my spelling and grammar.  It will make my English teachers turn over, my husband cringe, and my Retired English Professor Friend probably break out into a bad sweat. I come from my heart, and it just flows sometimes.  :)

One fateful day, my best friend lost her son in a car accident.  He fell asleep at the wheel, after working his first night shift.  His parents were away on a mini vacation at the time.  The Friday before this happened, I had a bad feeling something terribly wrong was going to happen.  At the time I was having serious issues with my uterus, and wondered if I would pass away that weekend.  I was passing blood clots the size of a newborn baby, if I even slightly moved.  I was in bed the whole weekend.

Sunday, my friend called me very distressed and told me about her son.  I didn't know what to do or where to turn.  I turned to the Bible and praying, looking for some way I could be a source of comfort and strength for her during this time of need. I was desperate because I didn't know what to do.  I sent an e-mail to my Aunt, who had lost a child, desperate for advice on how to be a support person to her.  She never answered me.  I broke down and called my dad, whom lectured me, that it wasn't up to me to help her, it was all on God.   I was just desperately trying to find something she could hold tight to for comfort.  What I was really trying to do was to find something I could hold tightly onto.  I had never had a friend lose a child, I myself had never lost a child. I could not fathom it.

I went into deep prayer and searching, and came across Reiki one day searching the web.  My gut was telling me, this was my answer, this was my peace to grab onto.  While doing research I realized it was even going to help my husband, who has been dealing with a severe auto immune disorder since he was 21.

Researching, I learned that Reiki is passed from the teacher to the student through a class. I searched and searched for the class that felt right to me in my gut. I found Karen Harrison and e-mailed her immediately. When she e-mailed me back, I found out she had just lost her son the year before.  I came up with the money to attend the 2 day class with Karen, in Dallas, Texas.  After my attunement, my teacher's life partner (sorry Ricky, don't know what else to call you) told me that I was really supposed to be at that class. That statement proved more validation to me in my decision.

So then my journey began....

I will be using this blog to describe my experiences with Reiki. Hopefully there will be a "peace" you can grab on to as well.  I do not mean piece of pie, I mean Peace! :)

Many Reiki Blessings!
