Reiki for the first time

I clearly remember the first time I received Reiki. A friend offered me a Reiki session when I was in the middle of my yoga teacher training. I had no idea about energy healing. Although I had heard of Reiki, but I didn’t know anyone who had actually experienced a session. I had always thought of myself as an open-minded person and so I replied: “Ok. Let’s do this.”

I had no expectations and was wondering if I would feel anything at all. Of course I knew about ‘life force energy’ due to the yoga teachings. But still, I thought that it was something spiritual junkies talked about. Definitely not me at the time. Anyway, I lay down and let Reiki happen. At first I couldn’t feel anything, but suddenly I could literally feel the energy flowing within my body, entering my body through my crown. I was thinking: “What the hell! It really works!” And then I surrendered to the situation and this wonderful experience.

I saw images as if I was having a vision and emotions arose within me. The next thing I knew, I burst into tears. I wept for a while and then a huge sense of calmness and relief washed over me. I felt so relaxed, light, and peaceful like in a deep meditative state. And a big smile appeared on my face.

I didn’t know why I had been crying, but I knew I had released something that had blocked me from being truly happy. Somehow, I knew intuitively that this was part of following the path of personal growth and transformation, and that this was just the beginning. That day something had shifted. By having this profound experience, I could feel the connection to something bigger. I had been touched by grace.
