Introduce your wonderful self!

Let us know who you are!  What do you do?  How does Reiki impact your life?  All introductions are welcome here.

Hello, It's Monisha, aka Nishtha

Hello everyone,

I went to a Shaman who specializes in Reiki and wrote about my experience in this blog post so that will give you a little insight into what I've experienced….for me, a person's intentions should find vibrational resonance with the person they hope to heal….if the patient / client needs conversation, the practitioner should offer conversation, if the patient / client needs human touch for solace and comfort, the practitioner should be able to offer that, etc.

Whenever, If ever, the practitioner feels that what the patient / client is asking for is more than the practitioner can give, they should politely and firmly inform the patient / client that they are not the best choice to be that person's healer. Ideally, the practitioner would have other contacts/healers in their network that they might refer the person to so that the person might find the appropriate vibrational resonance and receive the healing that they need.

That's my two cents on the matter, after having experienced numerous healers (western doctors as well as alternative medicine practitioners) who have been unable to effectively address my pains and illnesses.

When I found healers/practitioners that were willing to work with me - on MY Terms - I knew that I was halfway to Healed! I have beautiful people in my life who provide me with herbs, acupuncture, massage, Reiki and Conversation(!) that are Vitally Important for my Health.

As a practitioner of Healing Arts myself, I have a plethora of skills and expertise to offer to people who “knock on my door” - I spend a lot of time learning about what the person needs and wants from me and I then figure out if I have the requisite skills (and time and energy) to devote to that person's case.

We create a “contract” that seems reasonable to both of us, revisiting it as often as necessary throughout the course of our partnership (I firmly believe that healers and patients/clients are “partners” in the healing process). If there comes a time when the partnership doesn't seem to bear fruit, we jointly assess the situation and determine appropriate next steps; sometimes, that means termination and referral elsewhere, sometimes, it simply means we need to change tactics, perhaps take a breather and/or try something different.

Invariably, this approach to my work keeps my energized and engaged in all the clients/patients I see. I never feel drained by my clients/patients and I always feel that I'm doing my best to help them on their path.
: - )

If only more Doctors and other Healers would follow my lead…. ;-)

Re: Hello, It's Monisha, aka Nishtha

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hi

I know nothing about Reiki.  I'm forever curious, though!


Trudi

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hey there Trudi..:)

Jeremiah and Dana have posted information about Reiki….i think it would be accessible here…http://pods.zaadz.com/reikitree/discussions/view/111101

:)

hope that helps love..:)

love love and more love,
nikki

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

I'm right there with ya Trudi. I am so ready to recieve as much information as I can possibly retain! ANY positive, healing, spiritual, love-based help from my friends is welcome!!

Love to love,
Cheyanna

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Cheyanna,

I am so thrilled you could join us.  Be sure to check back often for more Reiki info.  I have seen some really great examples of Reiki descriptions, and I am in the process of gathering new information to post.

Hugs to you.
Dana

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

My name is Cheyanna, if anyone can find a meaning, please let me know. MsCapriKell is my sister. Neither one of us has been able to  find anything.
Like Trudi, I do not know the first thing about Reiki. I am, however, ready and willing to learn!
HELP! please

Love to love,
Cheyanna

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

“Neither one of us has been able to  find anything.”  Hmmm… I think I am doing pretty well at finding and staying on a path of personal/spiritual discovery…  I love you dearly, Sis, and understand that you and I have been through quite a bit as children and throughout our lives… so I can see how you tie me into your perspectives, too…  just be careful what you project onto me… that's all I ask.

I am thrilled that you are seeking out paths for yourself to evaluate now and I am happy to encourage and empower you in that journey! 


Blessings in All Ways!
Always!
~K

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Doh!  I hadn't received notice of the other conversations on which you posted …. LOL… I didn't realize you meant “searching for a meaning of your name” …. mercury is in retrograde… I am apt to misunderstand many conversations!!! LOL

Here I was thinking it was “meaning of life's journey” kind of post…


Is it Friday yet?  :))

~K

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hello!

I was introduced to Reiki at the Kerrville Folk Festival a few years ago. It was not explained to me, but I was in physical pain and grateful for any ministration, no questions asked, I am sorry to say. But after that session, my mind was so clear that I wrote a song and played it unwritten to a very elite song circle and the only criticism I received was that people wanted to hear the chorus more.

And believe me, this is not the sort of problem I usually have! Usually it is the ho-hum sort of response. Well deserved, I'm sure, if all is taken to account.

So, reading Nishtha's post, I am heartened. Actually, I may be a practitioner, except without the bodywork, which is what I thought it was. I work in mental health (don't gag, please), but I am considered unconventional, a maverick of sorts. So now that I have a boss who, while not understanding me completely, is actually delighted by my approach, which, given the context of the mental health conglomerate, sounds a lot like what Nishtha does!

I have often thought of tacking on a therapeutic massage certificate and starting a private practice where I can be flexible in providing what is needed without worrying about getting fired (again).

hehe;-)

This is going to be a GREAT pod!

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Mary you are adorable!!:))))
without getting fired again!! lol!

this was a lovely post Mary..in soo many ways..your introduction to Reiki was heart warming…such is the flow of Reiki..:)

i am very happy that this initiative has taken root so beautifully…and every branch is just up and about…wonderful!!

love love and more love..:)

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

I am Erika.  I am a writer, singer, artist person.  I dont know what reiki is, but Im willing to learn.

=)
Namaste.

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Well…. I may as well introduce myself too…. (sorry about the misunderstanding earlier in the thread)…

I am Kelly…. I've been very interested in the energetic healing arts and methods for several years now… I've received Reiki in person once or twice before and definitely feel there is much more work that I could do on myself by receiving further attunements… so I am eager to participate with this pods to receive and share the abundance that comes from Reiki attunements!

I, myself, have a pod here as well called Divinations … explore if you like… topics covered range from tarot, astrology, numerology, etc….

I am extremely active in the Zaadz community and am thrilled to help promote the beauty that I find within the community and share it with the “offline” world too…  I am looking forward to watching this pod grow towards it's highest potential!!

Bright Blessings!
Be well,
~K

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

yeah love..i love the BRIGHT Blessings you send…sooo much energy packed in that..:))
this initiative..this movement, this tree..well to my heart just had to happen..there was just too much love here at Zaadz..each and every person moving with love…making changes..looking for changes…and thereby creating this wonderful foundation for ONE tree…Reiki was always there..unconditionally..:)
So, it’s absolutely the ‘right time’…And the ‘BEST” place..i would have loved to add a link from BEST going to Zaadz…but then can’t remember how i did it last..so..:)))))

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Dana, and I am SO THRILLED that all of you have joined us!  My heart just swells with the booming response to this pod.  Be sure to tell everyone you know about this fabulous group!

I have to say that reiki has been an integral part of my life for about four years, and as I developed, reiki developed with me.

Hopefully we all will post experiences here; things that have worked for us and things we found needed to be improved, so that all of us can benefit from each other.

Nikki and Ash are to be commended for spreading One Reiki Tree's beautiful limbs.  The website is a beautiful work; be sure to go visit it …I have a link to it at the bottom of the pod homepage.

I hope to add information to this pod daily, so be sure to visit often…and if we are not friends already, please stop by and say hello.  :)

You are loved.
Dana

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hello everyone!  I am a Reiki Master in the Usui lineage and also in Kundalini Reiki.  I have also been attuned in Gold Reiki, Ethereal Crystal Reiki, Money Reiki, and Kabbalah Reiki.  Until I met someone who had studied all of these, I had no idea that they existed.  Apparently many people have been inspired by Reiki energy and have formed other branches combining it and other energy techniques.  It's quite fascinating.

I welcome the chance to talk with others about the wonderfulness of Reiki!

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hello everyone!

My name is Lee. I think I may be the one responsible for introducing Dana to Zaadz. :)~

How inspiring to see her Pod taking off like this. I’ve only experienced Reiki once in my life, by a friend who can charge batteries with it, but I’m very interested in developing this ability in the future.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you better.

Smiles,

Lee

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Harlem. I am so touched by everyone's effort to make this world a better place.
I believe in simplicity, honesty, positivity and betterment. I am involved in the creative industry for 2 decades now.

I am new to the Reiki concept but God! I could almost tell what it is all about after reading so many introductions! You people have transcended these energies to a new level of consciousness. Feels like we are all cultivating the Raiki tree. Raiki Tree is indeed growing
at light-speed.

I look forward to hearing and knowing all of you.

God bless Dana (she is so super!) and all of us.

Stay energize.
Harlem

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hello Everyone

My Name is Caitlin, I am from Sydney Australia. I have been practicing Reiki for about 12 years now. I find the energy absolutely magical, the closest to unconditional love energy there is in my opinion. Its power to heal so subtly is amazing. I mainly deal in Distance healing now, and its just as affective.

Happy to be amongst you all, Thank you Dana and Nikki.

Namaste

Caitlin

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hey Caitlin!!!

Thank you love for your warm words…:) and welcome..:)
i wanted to share here, a beautiful line you had sent me..”together we can move mountains!”…:) yeah Caitlin…we can love and the more i am at Zaadz, the more i feel that the mountain has moved..and we have ‘cleared’ a lot of ‘space’ so to speak for Love!

Please share your insights on distant healing Caitlin..it’s effectiveness..i’m sure there is so much to learn from every input from YOU…:)

love love and more love,
nikki

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hi All

I am §«Mγѕτїс»§ …. and I am a really good friend of Cailtin's…

She has performed Distant healing on me a few times, and yes I can confirm that it works . and wonderfully to..

She has also helped me perform healing on my 9 yr old daughter, who at the time had, had a high temp for nearly a week .. with in 30 mins of caitlin talking me throu a healing process for her, her temp broke and she was suddenly hungry for the first time in the week…

I am interested in learning Reiki, mainly as both my daughter and myself suffer asthma..  and I suffer from thyriod problems which in turn can coarse aches and pains in my joints and would like to learn more about Reiki so that I can perform self healing..

Although I have to be honest.. I know it works.. and I know its alot to do with energy, but I dont know really how it works… so would love to learn all about it..

Bright Blessings..

§«Mγѕτїс»§

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Greetings!
I'm happy to be here.
I'm looking forward to learning alot and gathering information on where to channel my natural gifts. I'm interested in becoming a Reiki practitioner, and a field where I can Use My Hands and their energy. I've unconconsciously always been doing it (sans symbols- I'm only just  learning about that part) my whole life.

Here's to Enlightenment!

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Welcome,welcome,welcome!!

glad you found you way to ONE REIKI Tree…:)
your journey is so inspirational!
so in tune with the Love that sprouted ONE REIKI..and the LOVE that it is spreading…:)
i am sure you must have got aquainted with the initiative and are ready with your branch!
look forward to hearing more of your journey love…please share some of your insights..:)
love love and more love,
nikki

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

I found my way here after Nikki found me and invited me over.  I have been attuned to Usui Reiki levels 1 and 2 from a teacher overseas.  I am still working on completing my level 2.

The energy work is amazing!  I regularly cleanse and charge crystals with it, and use it on myself and my animal companions when i remember :P.  I found it is very useful to use on your food and drink as well, with something like, “I ask that I recieve everthing I need from this….nothing more, nothing less.”  I really look forward to playing with the energy here.  I already love playing on Zaadz, and have barely scraped the surface.  It is great!

Blessings of Love and Peace,
Sandra

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Greeting all,

It was back in 1995 that I “got”* my level 1 training in Usui Shiki Raoho as well as the Tibetan Method. I clearly remember not feeling much in my body during the first part of my attunement. Than the part came that dealt with the Tibetan Method. It was something that I felt through my whole body a huge invisible opening of spirit through all my cells. It was funny when I got home I was sitting at the kitchen table and Lucy, my cat jumped up on my lap and set her-self between my hands and instantly began to purr.

Day to day I do not use Reiki much. At times I will use in combination with head massage to help someone with a headache. Many times it does the trick.

*I never liked the term “got” I always felt it was more about getting an awareness and clearing energy centers for the ability to give more than take.

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hey there OfMay,

Welcome…:)
this is truly a very beautiful share…YOUR branch is alive..so happy to hear this.
This is ONE Reiki…giving..sharing love..wONEderful!!!
i am sure you have read the initiative….so you know what i mean..:)
As soon as the website is ready….we will be able to reach out to more people/homes/communities….share such inspiring words like you have…and pour this LOVE everywhere…:)
Thank you…:))

love love and more love

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hi, my name is Istazi, and I have worked with Reiki for almost 20 years. My dog Chester, was the one who brought me to it. I rescued him down in Austin, Texas, and he was sick from the get go until eventually his stomach and intestines twisted. Nobody knew what was wrong with him, and we tried everything! We made a weekly trip to the vet with him vomiting severely or in horrible pain. During this time I was studing to become a massage therapist, and one of my student buddies happened to be a Reiki 2. She offered to work on Chester for free, and I will be honest with you, I had so many doubts. As a kid everyone wanted me to put my hands on them, because they warmed up and made their pain go away. However, I was told by others that this was evil, so I shut it all down. I was filled with all the doubts that everyone had planted within me when I took Chester over to see her. He was an American Eskimo, so he was a very high strung dog. She wanted him to remain calm…yeah right! Well, she put her hands on him, and he immediately fell asleep. He trembled at places, but never woke up. We left, he threw up one last time, and he never had another problem again. I was told that I would be lucky if he made it to five years old. He lived to 15.

When I received my Second Degree, my master disappeared on me. I had no one to ask any questions of, so I had to go within. I realized the energy was my true teacher, and I started listening.

I became a Reiki Practitioner and later a Master/Teacher…however, I prefer the word guide. I am a rebel in the Reiki community, because in many ways I feel it is too limiting. The only limits on what this energy can do are the limits we impose upon it. The energy is alive, vibrating, dynamic, creative, and it is waiting for us to interact with it. Every single being in this world is different, so why do the treatment the same? Sometimes during a treatment, I may tone, or do a gemstone layout with the symbols, or dance, or drum it or draw symbols over the client….whatever the energy guides me to do…and yes, I do many hand positions. So, this is what I taught for years….I call myself a guide more because I feel like I guided my students into a deeper relationship with the energy to a certain point…maybe a cliff, and it was up to them as to what to do from there…they could stay there, which would be more than fine, or they could fly and experiment and go even further…

I rarely teach anymore…I do work with it all the time in various ways…I am creating Reiki meditation CD's, and I am writing a blog here that covers spiritual thought to Reiki to Shamanic work. I live in Colorado with my dogs and cats and the dearest boyfriend in the world. I am an artist, and I feel that my artwork is another form of ceremony for me. I am hoping to create a book that contains my artwork and rituals within it…

I miss my dog Chester, but I am so grateful for everything that he taught me. He was my guide into the energy. Anyway, I love all the posts here, and I look forward to sharing every now and then.

Istazi

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hey there Istazi…welcome my friend to ONE Reiki tree..:))

wonderful, open and honest views straight from your heart…and very touching!

i was over at your blog and i wanted to share with all our friends here, a beautiuful line from there….

“During the summer I plant rows of sunflowers along my fence, so people will be able to enjoy them each time they drive by. My hope and prayer is that they will bring joy and a smile to someone….and also I pray that they will marvel at the beauty that this World creates.”……:)

it would be lovely if you could share more of your Reiki journey…”I realized the energy was my true teacher, and I started listening.”….beautiful!

love love and more love,
:)

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Thanks for being so kind! It really brightened my day. Today I went outside to take a look at my garden before the next snowstorm moves in. It has been a very long and cold winter with a lot of snow. This is great because of the drought we've been in, and I am grateful for every flake that has come our way….but today! I saw that a dandelion, a columbine, my poppies, sage and yarrow are starting to come back up! It's way early, but they are coming! Also, my first pansy survived the winter and it has a bloom! What joy! I just have to share this with anyone out there living in winter land…Spring is coming!

Istazi

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hello my dear!

The longer I read your post, the more excited I became.  I am so thrilled you have joined us.  Please post your experiences and more about how you use other things in your healing practice! 

I encourage all practitioners to experience new ways of using Reiki…I LOVE Reiki rebels.  :)  You are absolutely correct; we are the ones who limit Reiki…it is truly limitless.

Love Dana

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hi everyone,
I am Samme.  I would like to thank Dana and Nikki for this pod and for everybody here for participating.  I am very much interested with the healing arts although I have not had any Reiki attunements yet.  I am a kungfu and taiji practitioner and also qigong and yoga.  I had been introduced to the Barbara Brennan healing methods and attended the seminar in San Francisco.  But right now because of this pod I am proactively seeking more information about Reiki and I have my intentions to advance in this art.  I just bought the book Reiki Hands That Heal and Reiki and the Healing Buddhas.  I love to learn from all of you.
I am grateful for all of you. 
Thank you,
Samme

I've been a 3rd degree reiki teacher for several yrs now and have had the pleasure of doing distant attunements via the internet all around the world. I was introduced to this pod via Danaand Nikki. It sure seems to be rather active and full of excitement and curiousity. By the way I can't spell so don't concern yourself with that because I don't. Anyway I look forward to experencing each of you as we get to know each other by our postings. Seeya Gary

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hello Lovie!

I'm so excited to see you here!!!  I would love for you to go to the Reiki Experiences section and post some of your incredible experiences you have told me about. 

Maybe if you would like, we could mention a little something in honor of Chookie.  What a lovely example of the beauty of energyworkers!

I love you, my brother.

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hey Samme!!!

welcome love…:)))
and wow..there is always soo much to learn from each other Samme..like right now…:)
great that you are already in tune with what Reiki is….
How is the book, ‘Hands that heal?’..perhaps we should put it in the resource link of the ONE Reiki Tree website which should be up and ready in no time really…
Also wonderful to learn that you are interested in this movement in a holistic way Samme..to learn Reiki yourself and advancement of the ‘art’ as you have beautifully put it…:)
i know that you would have aquainted youself with how this all is and would be coming together…i would like to know your thoughts on that as well Samme…a well as any advice..suggestions from any of our lovely friends…after all THIS IS ONE TREE…:))

love love and more :)

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hello Dearest Samme.

I know you will love Reiki; is is so complementary to what you already do, so you will easily grasp it.

As far as seeking more info:  Essential Reiki by Diane Stein and Reiki Mastery by David Vennells are excellent.

Love you!

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hello, all of you beautiful people!!!  Thank you, Dana and Nikki, for this lovely pod and for inviting me to join. 

I sense the magic of the energy here and in reading over some of the introductions I agree with so much of what has been stated that I will not repeat it. 

Caitlin addressed the magic of Reiki and how it vibrates with the incredible energy of unconditional love.  It is absolutely true for me.

I was introduced to Reiki years ago by a massage therapist who used Reiki and it manifested in bringing me much love, peace, calmness, joy, balance and a deep sense of well-being.  I did not want to get off the table it was soooo wonderful!  Since then I have had Reiki by other massage therapists and  distance Reiki sent to me with very powerful results.  I have not been Reiki “attuned” or practiced Reiki, but would love to explore and learn more.

Dana is a personal friend of mine and as lovely in person as she is on this website-even moreso.  I am honored to know her and I thank her for inviting me to Zaadz.

Love, Light and Laughter,
Star

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hey there beautiful Star…:))

your words ring with a bell…a happy bell! :)))))

Yeah Dana..is a beautiful person…and i am very happy that she has introduced all her lovely friends to all of us here..more love to share..more beautiful hearts to connect!!

love love and more love,
nikki

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Dearest Star,

Thank you so much for your sweetness. :)  You warm my heart.  Let's get together so I can attune you to Reiki.

I love you bunches!
Dana

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

I am Greg aka, Elf I got the knickname when i played under 25 rugby for the USA ( I wasn't the biggest one out there) I am really interested in Reiki. I have chronic pancreatitis, and treated with morephine twice a day. I first heard about Reiki in a yoga class from a lady with fibromyalgia. She like i was treated with drugs, until her experience. I can no longer find Billie,      But i did find you and so far it has been a wonderful journey. Oh Work, I am a regional coordinator for a worldwide climbing association.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Namaste,
Elf

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hi there all!

I would love to learn more and even receive atunement (I guess that's how you put it).  I want more of 'God' or 'unconditional love'. 

Actually, if any of you who are atuned would like to send healing energy mine and my daughter's way right now (we've been sick and she also broke her foot last week), then I am very open to receiving this wonderful healing energy.

I'm an engineer who is frustrated by the dryness of my work and wants Spirit more than I want anything else!  I believe that from Spirit all inspiration flows.  I have not been inspired like I use to be - have written poetry and stories, an artist, and even have started creating music.  Yet, lately, I haven't done anything in the arts for a long time.  Don't know if the war or using the left side of the brain all of the time has affected me or what, but I know that I want my energy to be more vibrant and alive with Spirit so that I can enjoy life and bless others somehow.  I want to be able to flow.

So, that's a lot.  I am so happy to join this group and I appreciate all those who are involved with Reiki.  I believe that I am ready to find out more and be a part of this.

With Love and Respect - Namaste (recognizing the God within you ),
Kristina (Zenner)

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hey Kristina!!

..:)))…welcome!!!

was just over at your profile here at Zaadz…and came accross a beautiful picture of Dark Swans…and a few lines written by you underneath…wanted to share it here as well..

“As a Mother of Three, I love this picture. The mother is elegant and poised, while independent. It also makes me think of the Ugly Duckling - how he did not quite fit in, until finding his way to the truth that he was a lovely, graceful swan, rare, beautiful, special; what he was suppose to be.”……….Now there is a wonderful message here that has been expressed…that of the Ugly Duckling finding his way to the truth…:)..to what he was supposed to be….:))

Healing energy for you and your beautiful daughter Love…please post this healing request in the Sanctuary here as well…there is a lot of LOVE that will flow…:)))

Also..for information on Reiki..and the Attunements…there are links here Love on Reiki..the first Level..and what to expect…if you feel you need to know more..please let us know. The vision of this beautiful Tree..is yours…and you can aquaint yourself to more of it at www.onereikitree.com

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

My name is Laura, I'm 23, and I was happy to be invited to this pod. I have never experienced or used Reiki, but was introduced to it from some volunteers at a horse rescue where I also volunteer. I would say that the Director of the rescue is very open to alternative treatments and anything that would help the horses. We have at least 2 Reiki practitioners that give treatments to the horses - we also have acupuncturists and an animal communicator that work with the horses.

I have wanted to learn more about and get Reiki attunements, but I am still looking for a paying job (I do alot of volunteer work for now) and have not been able to afford classes. I signed up on the One Reiki Tree site for an attunement, so I am hoping that will happen soon and I can learn more about and use Reiki in the near future. Of course, I plan to help the horses and others with Reiki when I learn it :)

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Dear Laura,

..just sent you a mail Love…:))

welcome to YOUR tree!!!

i’ll post the mail here as well..so that anyONE else with similar questions would also benefit ..:)
……
we would be very happy to help you in your journey with Reiki..:)
your attunement could be arranged at a convinient time…

there are some things first we would like for you to do before..:)

1..get aquainted with Reiki Level 1 love…all the steps…the meaning, the benefits..and the first level experience..with the hand positions for self healing and healing animals..

2. all this would be availble on the pod….and on the site..www.onereikitree.com

3. you will need to register on www.onereikitree.com as well…as you are about to start a wonderful branch of your own..with animal healing..

4. spread the love Laura…talk about your Currency of Kindness..inspire your friends in this journey…all branches need to know about this love..:) that is the vision..

5. and once you are satisfied with what you have read…for Level 1…let us know at the attunement post section..and online..in the My intention link….we will fix a date and time..and begin with the attunement..:)

if you need any clarification regarding this mail Love..please let us know..
and welcome!!!!

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hey everyone, my name is Brian and I am 16 years old.  I am currently a First Degree practitioner of Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki.  While I am somewhat of a novice,  I feel that I am gifted in this style of healing.  Reiki has helped me to stay in touch with my own energy and to maintain a positive relationship with my own life force.  I have found that Reiki is a system that accelerates my spiritual development and mental/emotional wellness as well as it restores the life force that creates physical health.  I am always eager to educate those around me about this sacred art as the ability to heal is as natural as the ability to breathe.  It is a talent that we have allowed to fall out of our awareness and i believe that everyone can benefit from this skill.  Learning Reiki has created a new relationship with my own spirit and has inspired me to stay in touch with my own consciousness.  I hope that this Reiki Tree will continue to inspire others to get in touch with the healer within.

Namaste,
     Brian

Re: Introduce your wonderful self!

Hey Brian..:)

Welcome and thank you for such an extremely inspiring introduction to Reiki and your journey with Reiki…yes it is as natural as breathing…:) and you have expressed it so beautifully…:)

hope you will share more of your insights here…nuturing this beautiful tree with LOVE!

:)

love love and more love,
nikki
