When I studied Reiki, Mary Ruth Van Landingham’s classes and handouts were\u00a0 my user’s manual.\u00a0 They didn’t even begin to approach all the things Reiki can do for us all. \u00a0 I think Mary Ruth Van Landingham did that intentionally\u00a0 because we each write our own user’s manual.<\/p>\n

Reiki is a unique and individual\u00a0 experience for each of us.\u00a0 Our attunements are the user’s manual for each of us.<\/p>\n

I learned to practice Reiki on my massage therapy clients.\u00a0 Each one got a 10-minute Reiki boost at the end of the massage therapy session.\u00a0 Because Reiki was still unknown\u00a0 in my area, none of them had ever heard of Reiki.\u00a0 Their introduction to Reiki came during the last ten minutes of\u00a0 a massage therapy session so it came at a moment when they were blissed out, pain free, and totally relaxed.\u00a0 Needless to say, they all loved their Reiki.<\/p>\n

This was good for me also because I was new to Reiki and was fearful about the results.\u00a0 It took a while for me to\u00a0 become accustomed to how Reiki worked.<\/p>\n

I worried that they might not receive a proper introduction.\u00a0 So, what happened was that both my clients and I learned together.\u00a0 For starters, we\u00a0 learned to recognize\u00a0 my warm hands\u00a0 when I introduced Reiki into a session.<\/p>\n

Over time, I learned that my hands warmed up whether they were on another person’s body, or my body, or a plant, or a car.\u00a0 Or whatever.<\/p>\n

I learned to trust Reiki.\u00a0 This was a huge life lesson for me.\u00a0 I suspect it is also an important lesson for others as well.\u00a0 Many people go through life never learning to trust people, places, or things.<\/p>\n

When I teach Reiki, I don’t think I even mention the word\u00a0 trust.\u00a0 The word floats above the classroom like a gorgeous cumulative cloud.\u00a0 It’s there for all to see.<\/p>\n

A wonderful thing to do is practice self-Reiki\u00a0 to experience a regenerative sleep, easy your headache pain, feel comfortable in your body, or simply feel grounded.<\/p>\n

Actually, it’s not necessary to do anything with Reiki.\u00a0 Just enjoy having received your Reiki attunement(s).\u00a0 Rest.\u00a0 Heal.\u00a0 Let Reiki be with you.<\/p>\n

You do not give up anything to learn Reiki.\u00a0 Reiki does not\u00a0 test you in any way. \u00a0 Reiki is not a cult.\u00a0 It does not come between you and your religious beliefs.\u00a0 You do not need to change any of your core beliefs.<\/p>\n

Instead, Reiki opens doors and windows of learning, opportunity, and enlightenment for you…if that is what you want.\u00a0 For some, changes are apparent,\u00a0 immediate,\u00a0 and outward.\u00a0 For others, changes are slow, careful, discreet.\u00a0 It all depends on you, your situation, your life path.<\/p>\n

Some students, after receiving their attunements, internalize their new skills.\u00a0 Reiki is private, intimate, internal.<\/p>\n

Other students\u00a0 use their newfound skills,\u00a0 practice Reiki and give sessions at every opportunity.<\/p>\n

Neither way is better than the other.\u00a0 In all cases, Reiki assists you on your path.\u00a0 For me, there is nothing more beautiful than to travel one’s life path.<\/p>\n
