Have you heard these common MYTHS about Reiki?
Back in 2012, I saw a Reiki healer for the first time and it blew my mind because the healing energy actually dissolved all the pain in my heart from a super rough π breakup! Like, poof! π―Vaporized.π―
It was profound and amazing. I didn't know you could actually π heal emotional traumaπ. I had thought you just had to either wait for it to dull down over time and tough it out and move on as best you could, or talk for hours to a therapist and get new insight but still kind of always have the hurt.
Reiki quickly became a hugely powerful tool for me in addressing my super-traumatic childhood: it gently cleared away layers and layers of pain and suffering from years of bullying in school while growing up with an emotionally disturbed, violent parent. That PTSD I thought I would always have was actually disappearing, and in its place was a growing sense of inner peace.π₯°
I was so eager to learn how to do Reiki on myself as soon as I could!
π¦ Once I got attuned π¦ (initiated), I was psyched to discover that giving myself Reiki actually worked to alleviate the pain of menstrual cramps, too! This was a π because I had at one point been on Rx painkillers to deal with them, and here was something that was totally free and available at will!
I continued in the Reiki courses from Level 1 to 2 and then Master, under my mentor Jeanette Hieter, and got a huge surprise in the πΉawakening and activation of my own intuitive giftsπΉ!
This wasn't something I had expected at all but I was so psyched when it happened! And now, almost 10 years later, after having taught Reiki to dozens of students, I can say that it does happen consistently and I love watching that!
At this point I have received over 1,000 Reiki healing sessions myself, and most of them have been over the phone because it absolutely works at distance, given that it is a π€© quantum technology π€© that operates beyond the limits of time and space!
Maybe my favorite thing of all about Reiki, though, is that in my lineage we have a π€« secret sentence π€« that we use: when we combine the symbols a particular way, it is highly effective at influencing reality.
π« We call it the "Manifesting Sentence" π« and it is essentially a real-life positive magic spell -- a super-charged blessing. It π₯ makes miracles happen π₯ when you use it! I use it daily as a form of praying for myself, others and the world and it is such a joy to watch the results!
I have experienced the π¦ magic π¦ of this amazing force firsthand so many times...I have seen it remove the traumas of my clients just as it did for me, and heal their chronic physical issues.
π€―Yet I notice that a lot of people have major misconceptions about Reiki!π€―
π They think it isn't real, or that it's just the "placebo effect" (ie. the power of intention), or that everybody who simply intends to channel healing energy can channel Reiki (nope, not true -- this frequency is so high vibrational that we need an initiated human to transmit this electricity into a voltage our bodies can receive, just as Indian gurus transmit what they call "shaktipat").
πΆ I have even met a few religious folks who are scared it isn't of the light-- and that's actually precisely what it is! Reiki means Divine Healing Energy. All of those myths are just totally wrong.
π₯³ That is why I am so excited to see scientists actually studying Reiki and coming to the conclusion that it is π― % legit -- because it is. It WORKS. π₯³

Even the media is taking note!
π Here is an article in the Atlantic Monthly magazine.
π There are few things you could do for yourself that are as beneficial as learning Reiki. It is an investment in your spiritual development, your health, your self care, and your empowerment all at once. π
π± The teacher you choose is important -- you'll receive from that individual your healing gifts and abilities passed down through their lineage. Some healers are more powerful than others, and some teachers are more or less experienced than others.
