“Love is the law of God. You live that you may learn to love. You love

that you may learn to live. No other lesson is required of Man”

-Mikhail Naimy,The Book of Mirdad

As humans, we are surrounded by multiple thoughts, habits, desires, ways. One thing which deeply resonates with all of us is Love. All though this word is overly used, and has probably become the most abused of all, somehow, it never looses its magic. To feel Love for a slightest second is a very powerful feeling and most people keep looking for this magic throughout their lives.

In the hustle of this life, there are always some unfulfilled desires in each one of us. As we grow old, we start accepting them and thus they become a part of who we are. People struggle, fight, surrender and accept, but a very few people genuinely have the power to say “I am not going to live like this, I am better than this and I am going to change.”

The journey of this evolution is Reiki. It helps you to get in touch with your inner self, that self which has been forgotten, conditioned and sometimes deprived or over indulged. It may sound very basic, however, the results are quite the opposite. When you get in touch with your self the affect is miraculous.

We are like onions, we have layers, Reiki peels these layers one by one and exposes our unattended self. Beware, you may be an absolutely different person underneath. Accepting this being is True Love. The non judgmental, unabashed love of self is Reiki.

Reiki is not for the weak hearted, when you embark on this journey, you leave behind your carefully formulated ideas, your practiced norms and you transform into someone whom people around you may not recognize anymore. You become a stranger in the land of your known. The whole world feels like a mirage and illusions are broken. The deepest and darkest parts of your heart are exposed, then healed and finally you bloom. Not like a flower but like a tree, with deep roots, able to fulfill the needs of self and others.

To those who are sleeping, you feel like a magician. To haters, you feel like a fraud. Only to the aware, you feel like self. The love you have been seeking for so long is found right there inside you and bam! you are whole again.

Binding your broken pieces is love and Reiki is the glue, so strong that you will never be broken again.

I was attuned to Reiki on a hot summer day, after having my millionth anxiety attack and as it happened to be a regular activity in my life probably like going shopping. Anything and everything would leave me into a frenzy and I would be stuck with another anxiety attack. Insomnia was my best friend and as they say Demon hours kept me up like forever.

Did I consult a doctor? Hell yes! from being treated from chronic to mild and chronic again, I have seen all stages of depression. Taken medication, tried alcohol, some drugs too.. but nothing could put ice on my burning heart.

One fine evening, a friend suggested to try some healing. I gave it a shot as well, but life has its own way of teaching us and each circle has to be completed. I left healing and continued to suffer as it had become my perpetual state. I did not know what emotional stability meant and being trapped in the state I were, it was exhausting!.

As they say, life gives us chances, and yet again I found my self thinking about healing after a really bad episode of anxiety attack. This was almost after 5 years of my encounter with my first healing. I still don’t know what made me decide to try this again. I guess the REIKI TOUCH was still there in my sub conscious and it so happened that I reached out for help.

After my first session, I had a feeling that this was it, I felt better, even comforted. This was a strange feeling and I wanted to explore it further. I decided to get attuned and I took my first step towards Reiki. Since then, life has been different, pleasantly different.

Now that I look back, had it been my friend did not introduce me to Reiki five years ago, I would have never been able to be where I am today. Or rather, if reiki had not left its touch, I would have never known its magic.

So yes, I can proudly say, I healed the trauma, I healed myself and many others with this magic called Reiki.
