My Reiki Journey
My name is Joanne Davies. I have been a Reiki Master since 2012. Reiki is a powerful healing energy, which flows through me into you. By accessing this universal life force, I can offer Reiki healing on an emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level. When I say that I am a Reiki healer to people, I find that some have never heard of this amazing healing system.
I was once one of these people. This is where my journey begins.
When I was in my late 20s, I saw a notice on the reception desk at my local gym for a ‘Reiki taster £10 for 30 minutes’. I enquired. I had never heard of Reiki. I had never really thought about healing, not ever.
I booked in for that day, I really had no idea what to expect. The lady, who was so lovely, explained a small amount about the energy, how it worked and how Reiki works.
The session went ahead, it was 30 minutes, but I felt that it was over in a flash. Although I did not book in for further sessions, I thought ‘Well, that was different’.
My next part of my Reiki journey was in July 2010. I had a Reiki session with a wonderful lady called Julie. This session was immensely powerful, and I could feel my body drawing in the Reiki from the practitioner’s hands. It was as though I could not get enough into me, and both Julie and I felt this.
Reiki was waiting for me
It was as though Reiki had been waiting for when I was ready to embark on my own personal journey.
I knew that I was going to learn as much about this system as possible. In 2011, I enrolled onto a Reiki Level One course at the North Warwickshire & Hinckley College. Since then, I have not looked back. Working with the energy, I used Reiki daily to improve my life. The
same year I completed my Level Two course. I practised the healing technique on friends and family and continued my learning with daily meditations and mindful practices.
Deciding to become a Master
My journey took me to the decision to become a Reiki Master. In January 2012 I completed my Master Healer. Following on from this I completed the teaching side of Reiki in May 2012.
Now I honestly thought it was that simple. But there is a lot more to becoming a Master than one would expect. It really is a way of life. You cannot just be a Master; you have to master being a Master. I have experienced healing crises and thoughts of ‘what the heck have I
done’. This was my first lesson. Let us say my default lesson. Today, I am still Dr Mikao Usui’s apprentice, the founder of Reiki. I call him the true Master.
I have the knowledge of my journey and the knowledge of the Universe available to me through Reiki. As the Reiki Master’s journey is a continuous one, I do not know everything. We are to be committed to the cause; this includes ourselves as Reiki is a self-improvement
technique.
Reiki Healing
The beauty of Reiki is that I can be a conduit for this powerful healing energy. I am not Reiki, Reiki flows through me into you. By accessing the universal life force energy that is Reiki, I can use Reiki to heal every level of a human’s being, emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
My aim is to assist with healing on a deeper level without prejudice and only from a place of unconditional love. My intentions are pure, and I only want the absolute best for you. Reiki will only ever heal what needs to be healed and in the process of healing. It will always go to the areas of our being that need to be healed first.
