My Story
Hello, my name is Amanda and my journey with Reiki began after a series of challenges and changes that left me feeling anxious and depressed. In the height of feeling like not knowing what to do next, I went to a Reiki healer. I walked into that first healing feeling unfulfilled and lost, and left with a sense of peace, safety, and validation I had never before experienced. It gave me the ability to rewrite my journey.
Spirituality is a big part of my life. From the way I decide to style myself for the day; to setting intentions; noticing the signs I receive; and serendipitous moments. To me, it's all a spiritual experience that I can learn more from and use to be able to connect with others. I trust the process and know everything is working out better than I could imagine.
How Does Reiki Work?
When someone receives the Reiki attunements, they become a channel of life force energy which comes from the Universe, and is available to everyone. A healing is done when the practitioner channels the energy and uses a laying on/off of hands technique to pass the energy to the receiver. The energy flows to where it is needed, and likewise the receiver accepts what is needed. Reiki has many benefits, such as the ability to balance one's energy, help heal the body, and promote relaxation. Reiki doesn't replace medicine or medical treatment, but can work in conjunction with them. For more information on Reiki, see What is Reiki? on The International Center for Reiki Training website.
