Destined to be a healer?

[Lightwanderer]

Do all reiki healers feel a call to become a healer?
I've kind of felt like the light called to me, and I sort of ended up being attuned

Even before my attunement I could heal by touching or just by thinking of people.

Is that so for all the reiki healers? Do everyone recieve a calling from the light?

I wouldn't say that I had a calling. The first time I was introduced to reiki healing I didn't even think twice about it for about a year.

I had always been interested in alternative healing though. I would rather heal with natural elements than popping pills or going through some of the horrifying medical procedures.

Well, actually my calling was more of the catolic priest kind
but I can settle with becoming a reiki teacher/master ;D

The person that first introduced me to reiki said that some of the nuns in Catholic churches are attuned to reiki

I had my first session and I was intrigued by it, but I wasn't called. I began research on the Internet and after the shop closed and I couldn't get any healing anymore, I had to find a way to get that great feeling again......so here I am.

I wasn't interested in Reiki at all.I heard about it but thought it was not for me.Then I had this impulse (there was a thread about Reiki on the other forum I like a lot) to read about it more.The idea of being able to heal others is great.I can do this at least.I'd love to help my mom but she thinks that I'm imagining it all I love the idea of healing my life,too.But healing other is a great thing to do.I'm definitely willing to share.I won't keep this gift to myself.

Love & light,

when i first heard about reiki it was from a massage therapist who i didnt particularily care for. so i was turned off. i broke and shattered my L wrist (tragic for a massage therapist) and another mt came to work on my shoulder. she just had an attunement so she practiced on me. as soon as she started, i felt torrents of energy entering my body. i saw a funny looking oriental man/teenager and heard "so when you going to get this". i looked for a teacher for over a year, but couldnt find one who would discount reiki 1 or let me pay it off (wasnt working no $ coming in). to make a long story short, found the right teacher and have been involved with reiki since then. i didnt think i was looking for reiki, but it certainly was looking for me!!!!!

I was having a hard time in life. Nothing seemed to be going right. I was a real mess emotionally.
I was messing about on the internet one day and started reading about Reiki. I got hold of some local contacts but alas all charged too much for me to go any further.
Continued to browse the net and one day up popped Martin Lee's site.
I wasn't sure but I asked for an attunement. Wasn't ready at all for it, my root chakra burned for two weeks and had spectacular dizzy spells.
Read more and more on the net, managed to get a couple of books and found this forum (what a find this was ).

Finding out more and more each day and my confidence grows slowly in my abilities.

I know I was looking for Reiki but I don't how I got that initial thought at first.

I have since asked for more attunements and have got re-attuned to Level II (my first one was a all in one 0 to master in the blink of an eye, but I felt I wasted too much time between it and actually starting to use reiki)

But I am sooo glad I found Reiki, I think it was waving at me all along waiting for me to notice it and I have a whole bunch of new friends to chat to via this forum. It can't get any better than that ;D ;D ;D
