Once you receive an attunement to Reiki you carry that ability inside of you the rest of your life – even though you don’t use it for a long time which was my case. I was reminded of my ability to give Reiki after 3 years of not using it. I was having coffee with a friend and then spontaneously they asked me if I could give them Reiki on their chest – because they had been feeling pain for a while. I will never forget the doubts and worry I felt about it (Reiki) not working. I just put my hands on their chest area thinking:
What if it doesn’t work?
How is the procedure again for connecting to Reiki?
This doubt of Reiki not working is something I’ve carried with me for a very long time, especially when I didn’t experience the heat in my hands as intense as I maybe believed it has to be in order to work. This was also the reason I didn’t practice self-treatment until I did my Reiki Master. Today I have cultivated trust and a strong connection to Reiki which I am super grateful for.
I asked for the pain to go away and let them feel good and after just few minutes with my hands on their chest, they told me the pain was gone.
That situation reminded me of the joy I feel when being of service to others by simply using my hands.
Shortly after that episode I was giving a friend a massage and they told me afterwards that I have “healing hands”. In that moment I knew that’s going to be the name of my business I wanted to create.
These two moments really “restarted” my Reiki journey I had forgotten about and made me sign up for a 1-1 Reiki 2 weekend course with my second Reiki Master, Romana. I had a very strong feeling of already knowing what I was being taught/told in the course. I think my soul was just remembering things from past lives, because ever since it has just felt natural to give Reiki.
Even though I started my business in less than two months after my course it wasn’t until I did my Reiki Master the year after, that I experienced the pleasure in meditation and self-treatment.
More on that in the next post.
