I really needed something more simple and easy to learn that would not require so much time away from my family, and yet I still wanted something that was powerful and would really work.

I continued to work with my full-time massage clientele while learning how to apply my newly gained skills with the different healing tools I had acquired. I expanded my career and I began teaching massage therapy, stress-management and meditation classes. Energy became my new passion. I saw everything as energy.

TAILOR MADE TOURS - LEAD YOUR OWN GROUP

I felt everything as energy. Then one day in , I had a client come into my wellness clinic for a massage session. Our conversation led to the topic of energy, as did most of my conversations at that point. We talked about energy and emotions and how they can get stuck or blocked and how our bodies react physically to this. She then explained to me how she had recently learned that her energy had been stuck and had created several physical problems.

She had discovered an energy healing modality that was assisting her in releasing negative emotional energy, and was actually energizing and healing her. She called it Reiki. She continued to come to my wellness clinic for massage therapy sessions. Each time she would share Reiki healing stories with me and my employees. She became lighter and healthier on all four levels of healing.

It was very inspirational to watch her transformation. Then, on one of her visits, she offered to teach Reiki to myself and my massage apprentices. Of course we said yes and we set the dates for a weekend of Level 1 Reiki. It is with much gratitude that I remember my first weekend with Reiki. My heart chakra expands with love every time I think about my client who became my first Reiki Master Teacher. I continued on with level 2 and I eventually learned how to teach Reiki after co-teaching several classes with my Reiki Master. In , a full 10 years into my career as a healing facilitator, I now had Reiki as another tool to use with my massage clients.

The first three years after I learned Reiki, I would occasionally teach it to my newest employees who would come to work in my wellness clinic. I also learned how to easily incorporate it into my massage therapy treatments. After a while, I discovered the benefits of using Reiki to give Chakra-Balancing treatments as well. My clientele continued to flourish. My wellness clinic and my employees grew rapidly with success. All was well in my world. Fast Forward to March 9, , at work in my clinic on a Friday afternoon.

My heart instantly felt heavy. I knew I was about to receive news that I did not want to hear. My year-old son, Shayne, passed away that morning due to an accidental drug overdose. As one would imagine, my life drastically took a turn.

I had plenty of well-meaning people who gave me books on grief and loss and I heard multiple opinions on how grief should look and what I should do. Only this time, it was not for my clients; this time it was for me and for my children. My heart had a hole in it. I was leaking energy. My aura felt ripped. My second Chakra was experiencing physical pain and symptoms of dis-ease. Yes, I read a lot of books on grief.

I took my children to support groups and counselors. I gathered information from every source that came my way. However, I knew enough about energy to know that it was vital to my well-being to find somebody that could work with me on this level. My spirit was immediately drawn to her. As part of my personal healing quest, I began receiving a weekly Reiki treatment with this new practitioner.

Some weeks I would even see her twice. After each Reiki treatment, I could feel the hole in my heart begin to fill up with the love that I felt for my son. During my Reiki treatments, I could see and feel the rips and tears in my auric field healing and mending.

Lisa’s Healing Quest

Some weeks we simply focused on my 2nd Chakra. The healing energy of Reiki taught me alot about this energy center and how it was affecting my life. Our 2nd Chakra resonates with creativity, change and movement, sexuality, and sweetness in life. Because this energy center is located just below the belly button our reproductive organs are affected as well. When my son died, I had felt my energy in this Chakra literally rip! The day of his funeral I had actually experienced severe cramping similar to that of labor pains, especially as I realized that we would be burying him six feet under the ground, and I felt his physical presence ripped away from me.

At this point, these strong emotions lodged into my 2nd Chakra.

This is why my Reiki practitioner needed to focus on this part of my body. Reiki is a high-frequency energy that breaks up denser frequencies. When emotions become stuck, they create dense blocks of energy—precisely where Reiki is guided to go to promote healing. My spirit, or higher self, knew to guide the healing energy of Reiki especially to my 2nd Chakra during those first weeks of treatment, in order to stop the symptoms of dis-ease and to heal this part of my body immediately.

As my Healing Quest continued, Reiki became my best friend and a great teacher. Every week I would drive for an hour to receive a Reiki treatment and every week I would learn something new about myself and my purpose in this lifetime. The healing light that Reiki brought into my heart assisted me to embrace the idea of self-love and self-acceptance. Reiki is another form of un-conditional love and light. Because of this, as it entered my heart the power was so strong I was able to finally feel it! My ego mind wanted to convince me that I was not a good-enough mother; otherwise my son would not have died because of drug abuse.

So the gift of self-love and acceptance that Reiki gave me pulled me through some of my darkest hours during the grieving process. My new Reiki practitioner was also a Reiki Master Teacher. After three months of receiving weekly treatments, I decided to enroll in her Reiki classes. Learning Reiki with my second teacher was just as powerful as it was with my first teacher, three years previously. The power of Reiki never ceases to amaze me!

After taking these classes, my passion for assisting others on their healing journey was re-awakened. I was feeling lighter and healthier so I decided to go back to work fulltime. I also decided to incorporate more Reiki into my practice and to attract more Reiki clients. This meant however that I would need to release most of my massage clients because my schedule was already so full. Wow, this was quite a challenge. I had developed a strong foundation with a steady flow of massage clients, which meant I had also created a steady flow of income. I found myself in fear of switching from fourteen years of a successful career as a Massage Therapist to a new career as a Reiki Practitioner.

I was also very concerned about finances. Yes, my ego mind was trying really hard to talk me out of making a career change. Fortunately the Spirit of Reiki was more powerful. My own spirit had already connected so strongly to the healing benefits of Reiki.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I truly desired to share with people in my community the miracles that I knew were possible to create by connecting to Reiki. My re-awakened passion for healing opened up another door on my Healing Quest. The Spirit of Reiki encouraged me and inspired me to walk through it, this time not just for my clients or just for myself. Little did I know at that time that I was about to embark upon a journey that would involve all of us on a Universal level.

I had not yet realized the full power of Reiki and its ability to expand Universal consciousness and awareness.

Quest – Be a Rock Star of Transformation | WAKING UP ReVOLUTION

All I knew was that I had to push through my fears and continue to expand my practice of Reiki. I ask that I attract to me now all who are open and willing to receive Reiki healings. Every day I filled my therapy room with the light of Reiki and I surrounded my building and parking lot with a Reiki bubble.

I continued to receive my own weekly Reiki treatments.

I recognized that through my own healing I was becoming more empowered and more knowledgeable on the many uses of Reiki. I also gained a new appreciation for giving Reiki to myself on a daily basis. I began self-treatments by getting into the habit of a morning routine. This is how it went: I would lie in bed and start at my Root Chakra giving myself Reiki with the intention of cleansing and clearing negative or stuck energy.

I worked my way upward through the seven main Chakras. This would usually take only 10 to 20 minutes. I then said my prayers of gratitude followed with my Reiki prayer of intention that I mentioned earlier.
