After I had my Reiki attunement I began to doubt that I was able to channel the Reiki energy, since I couldn't really 'feel' it. I have to say, that has all changed.
I was at my mum's tonight and she's not a well person, there are many health problems that she has. I offered to do a little bit of Reiki on her in the time I had and almost as soon as I put my hands on my mum's shoulders, I could feel my arms tingling. It was quite powerful. But what is even more interesting is that it hasn't stopped since! In fact, I'm still 'buzzing' as I type up this post!

It is one week ago that I completed my
Reiki level I with Alison Levesley, otherwise known as the Soul Coach. For
anyone about to embark on the journey, it is a very surreal experience, let me

ceremony went on behind me, but I know that sacred Reiki symbols were drawn
around me and onto my palms.

Reiki is a difficult concept to get your
head around, to say the least, especially for logical left-brainers like myself

Reiki is an ancient healing art that many
people believe has been around really since time began, although it came into
the ‘modern’ Western world in the early 1900s through Mikao Usui, a Japanese
Sensei who developed the Usui system.
With Reiki, you are working with an
invisible energy that ultimately, you cannot prove is there. But whilst there
is little scientific research available, the benefits of Reiki are
well-documented and even the NHS part-fund a Reiki healer at the University College London Hospital to
help cancer patients.
