Hi A question that I’m sure everybody has their own answer for. Why did you first get interested in Reiki? Did a friend introduce you to Reiki? Were you, or someone close to you, ill and looking for something other than just conventional medicine to help? Were you already interested in healing or spirituality, and looking for something to further your development? Did you ‘find’ a Reiki practitioner and just go for a treatment to see what it was like? Looking forward to reading your answers. love stef  |

Hello stef,
i was ill suffering from aneamia when a long lost friend of mine got in touch. his sending of distant reiki to me gave a quantum jump to the diagnostics and treatment. soon after i recovered i requested him to initiate me and thats how i realised a wonderful world of reiki.
\love anand

Hi Stef,
For the past couple of years I've been changing my lifestyle. I started eating more wholesome foods and I managed to scrap refined sugar, salt, and flour. I was never into caffeine or alcohol. Plus, once I started eating more wholesome foods, the chocolate cravings lessened. I also never really liked taking over-the counter or prescription medicines for any type of ailment. When my friend told me that she had just been getting attuned to become a Reiki Master and told me more about Reiki, I immediately became 'hooked'. I started reading articles about it and so forth. Finally, my friend performed a Reiki session on me and I felt the energy. It was an amazing experience that I'm sure everyone knows is hard to describe or explain. I haven't been attuned to level 1 'Usui' Reiki yet, but I'm preparing and experimenting hand positions on myself. It is so weird to discover this new world of energy that you can't see, hear, smell, or taste but can definitely feel.

Hey Stef A little more than a year back, I was looking for a way to cure my son's asthmatic problems. All the doctor's suggested was merely reducing his symtoms, poisoning him with side-effects and not getting to the root of the problem. As I was browsing the Internet for alternative ways to get to the problem, Reiki kept nagging me, and later on proved to be a part of the solution... along with my beloved vitamin C and some minerals... Later I have found out that Reiki tried to call me much earlier, maybe for other reaons... but I wasn't a very keen listener back then  love Michael |

Good question stef  In '98 I was seeing a psychic lady and she used to channel spirits and read my tea leaves once - I don't think she mentioned reiki yet - in May that year I was hit in my car by a larger vehicle which ran a red light. It spun my little Tempo around completely and ripped the back end apart - no one was seriously hurt at the time, but really shook up. I had been getting chiropractic care for about 10 years already by that time, and a month later, when I told my psychic friend about the accident, she then told me she was a reiki master and could attune me to help heal myself. So that's what I did - spent a day with her and got my first attunement. After that, she moved & I haven't seen her or been in contact. I did a lot of reiki on myself in those days and then in September that same year, my husband hit a van broadside - I was in the back seat - so accident number 2! More rieki along with chiropractic treatments and I was pretty much good as new by the next January The insurance people were very impressed! LOL They got off real easy with the settlement! I was definately sold on reiki - but after a couple of years, didn't use it much anymore - had some 'lively' times with my daughter and her kids - babysitting and whatnot - then recently reiki has come back to my attention & I ended up here! I just today received attunement for level 1 again - because the teacher who is working with me will only start from the beginning - (maybe it's because he's a relatively new master) - it's no matter, I can use the extra 'boost' heheheh I feel great today - healthy and happy - I've had headaches every day for awhile and today it wasn't as bad - the air feels clearer - I'm feeling focused - with more energy than I've had in awhile *happy thoughts* |

Hi Stef,
Very good question ;D i had health issues many years before reiki found me but i wanted to be a healer read many books about healing but never heard of reiki ;D
Then one day back in 1997 a leaflet turned up on my doormat saying that anyone can learn to be a healer in one day ;D so i phoned the person and he came to my home and attuned me to reiki level one for £70, he used the mrs takata invention of four single attunements one every hour ;D
after the attunement my hands were on fire and i felt great ;D we used my wife to do the hand positons on, when i placed my hands on her throat she jumped up in shock ;D the reiki master told her that she had probably been strangled, hanged or beheaded in a previous life ;D i think we find reiki or it finds us when the time is right ;D
love,
Mick

After i try to know Reiki more then i feel happy and i know i can handle all the problem. Now i can face all the problem with happy.

I heard about this 'healing power' from another forum, and it really sung to me because I've always wanted to be able to help myself and others in some little way, especially if it's some situation where there is nothing else one can do. There wasn't any special event that got me into it, but knowing that I can...it comforts me.

I first met Reiki by chance.
Last Christmas my father had a very severe torticolis. He couldn't move! It was just a temporary discomfort , I know, but he had lots of social dinners and meetings at that time, and it was very painful and annoying for him !!
A friend of the family was at home at that moment and did reiki to him. So my interest was triggered. I have always wanted to help others in whathever they needed.
I had heard about reiki before by some acquaintances of mine, but the information I had had of it was a bit confusing, and I thought it was a kind of a freak thing...??
But then I decided I would investigate.
After talking to this friend I decided it was worth a try, and found a Master here where I live. Then, I was attuned to 1º level, later I met this forum and I have learnt so much!! I have been attuned to level 2 and master level now, and I've been practising a lot. I know reiki is here to stay and it's an important part of my life...
Thank you all for your posts and help!!

It feels as if Reiki has always been in my life but I know that it has really only since I was attuned nearly 8yrs ago.
I cannot imagine my life without Reiki in it. It has become part of me, like an extra appendage and as natural as breathing.
Once you 'are Reiki' don't you find that you want everyone to be like you and share in it? I have friends who are into a lot of Wiccan and other pagan activities but still shy away from Reiki. I try to explain it as another form of spiritual healing-something they can relate to. But there is still a fear.
Have others found this?

I used healing even before Reiki, but I got kind of interested in the violet flame and found some reiki folks that used the violet flame, so I started researching reiki and got myself all attuned without even knowing what I was getting myself into ;D
When i realised what it really was, i decided to make it my new path of life, and since I got myself attuned to master/teacher level... I teach.
