The Joy of Teaching Reiki

I attuned my first Reiki trainee last week and I am amazed at how great Reiki can be. My first student was my sister back home in England. She has been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for a number of years and usually practices yoga and meditation daily to manage her symptoms. With an operation looming this week, she had been finding it harder than usual to relax so when we talked about the Reiki Master course I was doing she decided that she wanted to learn too.

We started with a distance Reiki session in which she felt deep relaxation and physical feelings of pressure in the same areas of the body that I was drawn to focus more energy. Although I’ve always felt that my family are just a thought away in spirit, my sister found it reassuring to physically feel our interaction even though we are so far apart. Next we did a distance attunement to Level 1 which involved attuning her energy field to channel Reiki and talking about the basics of what Reiki is, how to channel the energy,  and how to treat yourself and your pets. With previous experience of meditation and Qi Gong she was a natural and started practicing straight away. She said her hands felt like hot coals  as soon as she started channeling Reiki.

The next time we talked she said she had been inspired to learn more so she got some Reiki books from the local library and found some chakra balancing and relaxation techniques  that she liked.  She was feeling more relaxed using Reiki every day and had noticed differences in her chakras whilst using the Reiki balancing technique. Specifically feeling ice cold in her throat chakra which she related to a recent phase of writer’s block which has now resolved.

The big test for Reiki was the operation. Using Reiki she was able to stay calm right up to the point of actually getting wheeled in for the anaesthetic, by which time the drugs were ready and then she was off to sleep. I also sent Reiki for the operation, visualising it being the easiest procedure the doctors had ever encountered. My sister awoke groggy but comfortable and quickly felt ready to go home. As well as following the doctor’s after care advice, and armed with a bucket load of strong painkillers, she continued to practice Reiki for pain relief, relaxation and speedy healing.  Surprisingly she found that she didn’t even need painkillers the first night after the operation or even the next morning and she feels well on her way to complete recovery already.

I am so proud of my first student and so glad that I get to share something that I love with someone I love. She took the basic principles and just ran with it, using Reiki in the perfect way for her with complete success. I can’t wait to see where her healing journey takes her and how Reiki evolves with her. She has really shown me how wonderful it is to teach others, to share something amazing and yet simple that they can make their own. She has helped me shape my first class and I can’t wait to see how Reiki enriches others lives as it has mine.

To start your healing journey with Reiki join me in my first Level 1 class.
