Years ago, when I first learned about others practicing Reiki, I always wondered what is this magical energy and how can I get some? I convinced myself at the time, it only works for those who have been given this amazing power and only those who are worthy can receive it. Fast forward to today and WOW it is NOT a superpower but energy that we all have and can receive! So, if you are like I was back then and wondering what Reiki is and why try it…. This blog is for you.
While Reiki is Spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. There is nothing you MUST believe in order to learn and use Reiki. Just my opinion, all you need is an open mind, to believe in your self and have trust. It has no dogma!
Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine called energy healing. A technique based on the principal that the therapist can channel energy into the patient to activate the natural healing process of the patient’s unique body. This can restore physical, and emotional well-being. It is based on the idea that and unseen “life force energy” flows through all of us and is what causes us to be alive. This took me a while to understand and until I took some time to sit in my own energy and recognize what it feels like, the rest started to fall into place. If our energy is low, we are more likely to get sick, feel stressed or tired and when your energy is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
So, lets use your car and oil as the energy for an example:
If you don’t maintain oil levels or forget to do an oil change in your car, it will start to impact the overall performance. The oil can turn to sludge and clog filters, work harder, overheat and can eventually turn into engine failure. Not to mention the cost and stress of repairing the damages done!
When you feed your car with clean oil and change it up as it gets old and stagnant, this is feeding it the “energy” it needs to perform and keep the engine running smoothly. In the end this will save you a lot of money on future repairs and added stress.
We are in charge of taking care of ourselves, you should always be the top priority on your to do list! So, if spending 30 minutes or 1 hour every so often and allowing a Reiki practitioner to assist in clearing your sludge, raising your energy to a higher level to live a healthier life… why not give it a try! It is also known to raise your vibration if you are on the path to communicating with your divine team, seeking ways to open and explore your own spiritual abilities. Reiki can be an incredible modality to assist you in expanding your own intuition.
Once I gave it a try, I was amazed at how I could feel my energy shifting and lifting. It was so relaxing and very positive experience. Even the days after I could feel that Reiki had a whole body, emotional, mind and spirit effect on me! Absolutely something I plan on experiencing more of in my life!
See you at the next Lotusgrow Reiki session xo

Looking forward to my class , my body hurts all the time, I recently was told By my specialist that I need a mobility chair,,I’m not ready for that,,,maybe there is something else I can do about my pain level…
I loved hearing about your experience Jessie! Its certainly a universal truth that we are all capable of receiving Reiki. Instead of “alternative” medicine to describe this modality, along with many others offered through LotusGrow, I prefer to call them “Complimentary”. Using them is a “both and” instead of an “either or” choice. We can seek these treatments in compliment to all that Western medicine offers 🥰
