✨ MY REIKI STORY ✨
The experience that changed my life.
Since the age of 12, I suffered from hormonal migraines.
By the time I was an adult, they had become so debilitating that, whenever possible, I would actually avoid working the week before my period because I knew there was a good chance I would end up lying in bed in a dark room.
I went to doctors. I tried different medications, dietary changes, hormone therapy… nothing helped.
Eventually, I was told that hormonal migraines can be particularly difficult to manage because a woman’s hormones fluctuate so much throughout the month. So I relied heavily on medication just to get through life.
By my 30s and 40s, I was experiencing migraines as many as 15 days a month.
It was awful.
Then I discovered Reiki.
It was something I had never heard of or tried before. After doing some research, though, I went full steam ahead. I decided that not only was I going to try it, I wanted to learn how to do it myself so I could offer Reiki to my family and our pets. (We had 11 animals at the time, and those vet bills were adding up! 😂)
After my Level 1 & 2 Reiki attunement, I experienced two of the worst nights of migraines I’d had in years.
From my perspective, it felt as though energy was moving through my entire body and releasing something that had been stuck there for a very long time.
And then…
The migraines stopped.
It took me months to fully realize they weren’t coming back. Another bonus was that
I also stopped needing melatonin to fall asleep at night.
The difference in my quality of life compared with what I had experienced for the previous 33 years was incredible.
Sometimes even I have a hard time believing that something so simple could have had such a profound change in my life. If I hadn’t experienced it myself, maybe I still wouldn’t completely understand it either.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of giving Reiki to many people and animals, and I’ve seen how deeply relaxing and supportive the experience can be.
For me Reiki has helped to move and release energy that felt stuck, heavy and stagnant, allowing my body and mind to settle and begin to heal itself.
Will everyone experience what I experienced after their first Reiki session? Of course not. Every person is different, and Reiki isn’t a replacement for medical care.
But I do believe there is something incredibly powerful about giving ourselves the opportunity to slow down, become still and allow our bodies to rest.
Reiki changed my life.
I can’t promise what someone else’s experience will be.
I can only tell you mine. 🤍
