My Journey from Trauma to Healing: How Reiki Energy Work Transformed My Life and Practice

A Reiki Master's Personal Story of Discovery, Healing, and the Sacred Path to Wholeness
 

What Is Reiki Energy Healing?

What if your body could communicate in ways your mind cannot articulate? Reiki energy healing works beyond the limitations of mental programming, thought patterns, and environmental conditioning. It accesses the deeper wisdom held within our cells, including generational energy patterns passed down through our lineage.

My First Encounter with Energy Healing

My journey began unexpectedly at a retreat during a breathing meditation. The practice involved visualizing energy rising from the root chakra at the base of the spine—a golden ball of light moving through the body like an elevator, stopping at each chakra to expand and cleanse.

The Breakthrough Moment

Then it happened. My body began shaking uncontrollably. Tears poured out as sobs overtook me with such force I could barely breathe. I had to leave the room to avoid disturbing others, but what occurred in that moment was profound: the unlocking of a core memory so deeply buried I had no conscious awareness of it.

This was trauma that talk therapy could never have accessed because I didn't even know it existed. As I stood outside, still crying, something extraordinary happened—the trees around me began sending energetic love and embrace, making me feel safe as I processed what had been unearthed from deep within my cellular memory.

The Call to the Reiki Path

That experience changed everything. It awakened a knowing within me that I needed to walk the complete Reiki path—not just as a practitioner, but all the way through to Reiki Master. This wasn't about wanting to teach or attune others; it was a personal calling for completion.

Daily Practice and Sacred Symbols
The Reiki symbols became my daily mantra. I incorporated them into every aspect of life:

• Upon waking each morning
• Before driving anywhere, even short trips to the shops
• As protection symbols for my car
• As physical tools carrying powerful intentions

After completing my Reiki Masters certification, I gained a toolkit of sacred symbols and the wisdom of how and when to use them appropriately.

My Approach to Reiki Healing Sessions

Guided by Spirit, Not Structure

When clients lie on my table for a Reiki energy healing session, I explain that I'm guided by Spirit. No two sessions are identical because I don't follow a rigid structure—I flow with the energy of what's needed in that moment. Everyone comes for different reasons, and I honor that individuality.

The Importance of Discretion
Through years of practice, I've learned to be mindful of the symbols' deep power. Not every client is ready to be catapulted into intense healing immediately. I use discretion because not every session needs to crack someone wide open.

Personal Symbols and Frequencies
Through deep meditation over the years, I've received my own personal symbols—unique frequencies that I now integrate into my practice alongside traditional Reiki symbols.

Beyond Trauma Release: The Full Spectrum of Reiki

I want to emphasize that Reiki isn't only about releasing trauma. It can also be:

• Uplifting and inspiring
• Activating dormant potential
• Opening hearts to see life through new perspectives
• Creating balance and inner peace

The Soul Connection Missing Piece

The goal of every session is bringing the body into a state of calm, allowing the energy I channel to work in harmony with your own being's energy. I believe the missing piece for so many people is soul connection. When we strip away the noise of our programming and truly meet ourselves, we remember who we are.

Reiki as a Path to Wholeness

To me, Reiki is the path to reintegrating the soul into the body and mind. It brings us back to wholeness—a remembrance of the Holy Trinity: Mind, Body, and Soul (Spirit).

Is Reiki Right for You?

If you're unsure whether Reiki healing is for you, pause for a moment and ask yourself: How nice would it be to simply lie down and relax for 60 minutes? To let the mind quieten and allow yourself to enter a state of deep, nourishing rest?

If your soul is nudging you, even just a little, consider giving yourself the gift of stillness. A Reiki session may be just what your energy has been quietly asking for.
