Firstly I'm really relieved that I've opened up and told everyone of my journey, it really feels like a big weight is lifted off my shoulders.In the not too distant future when I am qualified, I hope I can share with you a Reiki session and you will then understand the benefits and the feel good factor!
My self healing was continued at work on Thursday and Friday and in between running and waiting for reports I could have a quick shot of Reiki when I felt the need. I really do notice a change in my energy levels in the afternoons and I am really going off the taste of coffee. Now anyone that knows me understands my need for coffee during the working day. Not any more I'd much rather have a cup of tea! Whats that all about? I do know that deep down my desire to look and listen to my body has gone in to overdrive...either way its all for the greater good. I've also noticed the energy around me more and feel that the world isn't going quite as quickly around me. The music I play at night is really chilling us out and I seem to be sleeping so much better, as does my wife. So all in all I'm reaping the benefits of Reiki and all that comes with it!
This blog entry is a bit fragmented because I had to leave it half finished Saturday afternoon and as i write this its Sunday evening! Today was my second business module and we spent the day going through our profit and loss as a business and I am struggling to know where to start with pricing myself in the market of holistic and alternative therapy! I'm sure a good nights sleep will make things clearer for me! Yet again on my dinner hour at college I had 15 minutes self Reiki and it really helped clear my head for the afternoon session. I bloody love Reiki!
My interest in spirituality has blossomed over the last 10 years with frequent visits to our local spiritualist churches and endless hours of reading literature and web research about different spiritual subjects. I then became interested in alternative therapies and in particular the ancient art of Reiki. You can follow my blog by adding your email address and it will update you when I post something new.

I don't think there is a right time?
I'm struggling to know when the right time is to let my outer circle of friends and family know of my new found experiences. Is there a right time? I'm scared of the possible ridicule and piss taking to my new found abilities and my inner obsession of starting my own Reiki therapy business up and in general help the masses is pushing me closer to spilling the beans and let everyone I know in to my little secret!!!
Don't get me wrong my closest friends and family have embraced my change in direction and are open to the idea that i can perform Reiki and make them feel better about themselves both physically and emotionally. Its a path that fills me with passion and warmth (back to the man flushes) and I know that this is right for me in more ways than one.
I can understand looking in from the outside that it must be difficult for you the reader, to comprehend that I channel energy through my hands and transfer this through the placing of hands during a Reiki Therapy session and there are thousands of documented cases across the world that have helped with ailments of both a physical and emotional level and can leave you feeling less stressed and energised. Can I explain how...errr no I can't. All i can suggest is that I urge you to have taster session and see for yourselves.
It will scare some people off and I can assure you I'm still the same old Chris, up for a laugh, I still support the Wolves, I listen to too much music and I have an opinion on everything but now I have found my life's purpose.
This process of writing down my thoughts has helped clarify that NOW is the right time so hello, friends, family and new readers. Don't be shy leave a comment......

I thought men didn't get hot flushes!
I slept like a baby after my attunement and my first day after was like every other work day except i kept giving myself little power boosts of Reiki which really made a difference to my alertness and concentration levels. My face is still flush and i can feel the energy around me and in particular my hands are warm like I have gloves on. To be honest with you I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to how you feel as Reiki is a very personal thing and effects everyone differently but I'd love some feed back from anyone who has gone through this and there thoughts and feelings.
I decided to save my self healing till bedtime and downloaded some recommended music to my Iphone from my teacher Debra Goldston. She recommended some Reiki healing music by Aeoliah and I have to say it is beautifully relaxing music. Its still hard to put in to words the feeling of self healing. I think the easiest way to put it is its like changing the oil on your car and filling it back up.I gave Helen some Reiki to and she could really feel the strength of energy and how relaxing it was at the end of a long day.
I have not really given you an insight about me. Well I'm 34, live in the UK, happily married to Helen and have 2 beautiful children aged 2 and 8. I have been a database coordinator for 5 years, but don't feel that this is my calling in life which has bought me to Reiki. I have always been a touchy feely kind of bloke (Not in that way you bunch of smutty monkeys!) always giving hugs and advice and feel my calling is to help people. Reiki will enable me to do this and I hope in time to turn it into a full time business and break in to local GP surgeries and the NHS making Reiki a recognised alternative therapy.

The Beginning Of My Reiki Journey
I have always been interested in spirituality and my life's path has bought me to Reiki the ancient healing therapy of placing hands and allowing life energy to pass through me to my client. I think that 'Heal' is a strong word to use and can be taken out of context in this very uneducated world that we live in but this is what can happen if the clients body requires it. Besides the healing qualities of Reiki it can help with stress and tiredness as well as other minor ailments and I will go in to more detail as my experiences emerge.
This is my Reiki journey and I hope you enjoy my experiences and blogs in the coming days, months and years.
Yesterday (Tuesday 26th July 2011) I was attuned to level one Usui Reiki and without a doubt it was a life changing experience. There were four of us in the group and we meditated for a while before we where attuned individually. Its difficult to explain the feelings and thoughts that I experienced during this ceremony and I will try to give you an idea. The meditation put us in to a calm state of consciousness and as soon as the attunement began I could feel the life force energy rushing through my body. My eyes where closed and we where in a room that was in twilight and all I could see was bright white light interspersed with gold and as the attunement continued I could feel the changes throughout my body and a feeling of love and calmness in between the crazy tides of energy. My hands where and still are warm to touch and my cheeks are still flush something my wife acknowledged last night. It is so hard to explain something that you can't specifically see and I know that the doubters and piss takers will never understand or know what this feeling is like unless they have a reiki session and be open and willing to recieve the energy. I do not intend to ram my new found knowledge down my friends and family's throats because those that want to know or experience it will in time either read up on the subject or talk to me and arrange a Reiki Therapy.
For the next 21 days I will be self healing and blogging my feelings and thoughts as well as trying out my new found skills on friends and family that are open to this alternative therapy. Please feel free to comment.
Love and light,
Reiki Chris
