Sandra’s Reiki experience at The Healing House

It was the Monday night after a weekend workshop when I began to feel itchy. By the evening my whole body was covered in six centimetre welts and a fiery red rash. I could actually watch the rash and swelling grow and change.

The discomfort was so intense that in the early hours of the morning I considered hospital. I guessed that it must be an allergy even though I hadn't eaten anything unusual; so I took an antihistamine to help me sleep.

The next morning I saw the doctor who said that it was an extreme allergic reaction that may last for days or weeks. I continued to take the antihistamine. As the effects of each tablet wore off, the rash and the swelling returned and I was desperately uncomfortable.

Two days after the onset of the symptoms, I went to see Gill for a Reiki healing.

During the healing, I actually had the physical sensation of the swelling reducing around my ankles. Apart from that, I was totally unaware of my body.

During the healing I became aware that I had been judging myself harshly about things that really didn't matter. I became amazingly clear on a personal situation that had recently been on my mind.

After the healing, I felt at peace. Gill and I talked and I felt that we had shared my inner journey for the last hour. The next morning, the swelling and rash had totally disappeared.

It was then that I realised that my inner turmoil had also gone.

As within...so without... As above...so below...

Welcome to the August edition of The Healing House Gazette

I have been reflecting on the amazing opportunities that life brings for us.

Before Reiki came into my life I seemed to just go about my life from day to day. Sure, from time to time I had goals but so often the journey seemed meaningless. I had read books about personal growth and looked a different approaches to spirituality and personal growth but never quite felt satisfied.

The approach that Reiki gave me was simple – by choosing to access Universal Life-Force healing energy on a regular basis, my life could have more health, focus, harmony and meaning.

And it is working for me. Reiki has had an enormous positive impact in my life.

And, I am in the fortunate position of seeing great change and growth in the lives of those around me who also choose to heal with Reiki.

Healing is a very interesting process. Sure it is not always easy but it is worth it. Belief systems that I have held about myself and how I fit into the world have been challenged. And now, I am so grateful that they have been challenged and reassessed.

I am in a continuous process of allowing a wider view of life to unfold before me. With this wider view I am feeling a greater sense of purpose, trust, love, acceptance and peace.

For change to happen there must be change.

Change is something that we resist, despite the fact that it is constantly in our lives. Every day every living thing on Earth changes. We all grow and change in some way. Change is inevitable. It is our attitude to the change that determines how peaceful or otherwise our life unfolds.

I am so grateful that I accepted the opportunity to learn Reiki and that one day at a time, I am willing to continue my Reiki journey of healing and learn to embrace change.

I believe that everyone who is attracted to Reiki has brought into their lives an opportunity that is unique to them. It seems however, that a common outcome for those who continue to heal with Reiki, is to live a more harmonious, healthy, focussed and meaningful life.

How often are you taking time for yourself and your own healing? How willing are you to heal with Universal Life-Force healing energy and take advantage of the unique opportunity that Reiki presents for you? Do you take time to reflect on the gifts that you have in your life?

Maybe it is time for you to look at Reiki and the gifts that it has for you and those around you.

My wish is that you be at peace with your journey.

With love, light and many blessings,

Gill
