Reiki
My first experience with Reiki was in college, during what I thought was a regular deep tissue massage session, where the therapist massaged me for the first portion of time. However, as I settled into my relaxation, I remember her removing her physical touch for the remainder of time, yet my level of relaxation became powerfully deep and transcending.
At the time I didn’t have the right words to describe this incredible experience, until more recently in my own wellness journey, have I learned it was called Reiki. For much of my life I can recall having a natural ability to connect with people’s energy, and even more so, animals’ energy. A trait I would rely on while guiding breathwork meditation, yoga, and often times, regular moments in life. Being a Reiki practitioner gives me the source and tools to use what I already felt, but now know how to use.
