whether or not you consciously use it.\u00a0 Reiki accompanies you on your life path.<\/p>\n<p>Reiki helps you create your life story.\u00a0 Because each of us experiences a unique life journey, Reiki therapy is different and inique for each of our needs.\u00a0 No two people experience Reiki in the same way.<\/p>\n<p>If you received a Reiki attunement 20 or 30 years ago, you\u00a0 still use it.<\/p>\n<p>Books were few and far between when I learned Reiki.\u00a0 Today, Reiki books are everywhere it seems.\u00a0 You have the luxury of picking up any Reiki book that attracts you.<\/p>\n<p>We can all thank Diane Stein for that. \u00a0Diane Stein changed the game\u00a0 in the healing world when she wrote a memoir\/expose about her career as a Reiki Master. \u00a0 &#8220;Essential Reiki&#8221; is probably still found in book stores and libraries today.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0 have a suggestion for you if you are attuned to Reiki and are not sure what to do next:<\/p>\n<p>Get yourself a spiral notebook, or bound journal, or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>Get yourself an appointment book or calendar.<\/p>\n<p>Call around and tell people you have learned Reiki therapy and are doing your clinicals.\u00a0 Schedule 100 sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Include your hairdresser, neighbors, friends\u00a0 and anyone else who might take you up on your offer.\u00a0 Find \u00a0 five people\u00a0 with health issues.\u00a0 This can include things like MS,\u00a0 headaches, allergies, low thyroid, cancer.<\/p>\n<p>These five people will\u00a0 receive five Reiki sessions as close together as you can schedule them.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone else receives one or two sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Record each session in your Reiki journal.\u00a0 Include the person&#8217;s name, address, contact information, and a short description about the session.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of these 100 sessions, you will have learned\u00a0 much about Reiki, yourself, healing, and life.<\/p>\n<p>Join or start a Reiki circle.\u00a0 In a Reiki circle, you&#8217;ll meet new people and share Reiki on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>But, what if you don&#8217;t want to do any of these things?<\/p>\n<p>Your new-found Reiki therapy skills are with you &#8211; assisting you throughout\u00a0 each day. \u00a0 You carry the Reiki energy with you every where you go on your life journey.<\/p>\n<p>How cool is that?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading this article.\u00a0 Please refer it to your favorite social media network.<\/p>\n<p>Thurman Greco<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/DSCN01871.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1339\" src=\"http:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/DSCN01871-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/DSCN01871-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/DSCN01871.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Page00091.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-641\" src=\"http:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Page00091-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Page00091-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Page00091-1024x770.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I enrolled in\u00a0 my first Reiki therapy class,\u00a0 I was primarily interested in learning\u00a0 something\u00a0 I was curious about.\u00a0 A massage therapist, I regularly participated in continuing education programs.\u00a0 I liked to learn new things to use in my healing\u00a0 practice.\u00a0 Reiki\u00a0 therapy\u00a0 interested me because it was so hidden in my area.
