What's Been Said

There's an awful lot in this world that's already been said. True fact. Some of it bears repeating. On the subject of Reiki (which, whether you know it or not is what you came to read about here) there is much expert opinion, conjecture and theory already in print. I might say some stuff here that you already know. In fact, it's possible I'll say stuff here that you know more about than I do. I can live with that. What I hope we accomplish here together (me writing, you reading) is that we do some mutually beneficial learning.
  
I've been wandering the Reiki path for quite some time. I found it, or rather it found me, when I was pregnant with my third child in 2003. As I was preparing for the birth of my son and my subsequent maternity leave (I am a teacher, by day job), the woman who had been hired to finish out the year joined us in the classroom. It so happens, in addition to being a phenomenal teacher, she was a Reiki Master. So we talked Reiki. Often. When she offered me a reiki treatment session I jumped at the opportunity (let's be honest at eight  months pregnant I didn't really jump, I more sort of leaned). That session was all it took. I was hooked. 

It's been nearly nine years since that moment for me. I am now a Certified Reiki Master. And while that looks and sounds pretty cool, I'll tell you straight up, it's a most humbling thing to see those words by my name. I feel honored and awed that the title is mine.  I am  glad reiki found me and called me out to the path. 

And I'm glad you're here to read about it.
