About Me
The Joys of Teaching Reiki
Although I’m
a Reiki Master involved in all aspects of the practice,
from healing clients to giving talks to community
groups, it’s the teaching of Reiki that most makes my
heart swell with joy. From empowering students to
sharing their successes, I’d like to tell you about this
joy.
After I’d
been involved with Reiki for many years, I realized that
I wanted to share my knowledge with others in order to
reach a larger audience. I challenged myself to teach
in a way that not only informed but also empowered.
It has been
exciting to me to find ways to bolster my students’
self-confidence. One of the tools that I’ve developed
has been the “Just do it!” motto handout. Simplistic as
it sounds, it has served as a powerful reminder to the
students that they already possess all the skills
necessary for effective healing upon completion of the
class.
Information
and motivation alone, however, are not enough. They
need to be done in the right physical environment. For
this reason I’ve taken pride in creating a serene,
uplifting surrounding. Students sit on comfortable
chairs and couches around a fireplace with the
surrounding area carefully adorned with candles, fresh
flowers and green plants.
At the heart
of the experience are the warm human interactions and
personal relationships. I take great satisfaction in
bringing together a group of strangers, who, during the
course of the day, grow close to each other, sometimes
forming lasting support networks.
Equally
satisfying are the on-going mentoring relationships I’ve
had with students, as I help them develop as healers.
Like icing on the cake of joy, celebrating the healing
successes with my students brings its own special
sweetness. Imagine my feeling upon receiving a call from
a recent trainee, a nurse, who happily reported that
she’d just stabilized a patient’s blood pressure in the
OR, to the astonishment of several observing doctors.
As you can
see teaching Reiki has brought me many joyous
treasures. However, the deepest joy of all comes from
the awareness that this teaching is helping to create
health and wellness for my students and everyone they
touch, as well as spreading the word
of this amazingly effective healing art.
Love, Light &
Healing,
