The Light within...
Mark Twain said: "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why."
In the spring of 2010 I attended a wellness workshop with my sister Joni. At the end of the
first day, the facilitator (as well as several other Reiki practitioners), offered Reiki treatments
to those of us in attendance. I gladly accepted, sat down and closed my eyes.
Ever so gently I began to feel an amazing sense of peacefulness and love.
It flowed to the very core of my being.
That night I discovered why I was born...
to help other people experience the loving peace Reiki offers.
Looking back, I am in awe of my journey. I completed all three levels of training and I am now a
Reiki Master/Teacher. I offer private Reiki sessions in both Ronkonkoma and Hauppauge and teach
classes from the Ronkonkoma location as well.
A few years ago someone asked me what it felt like to share Reiki with another person. I replied
"bliss." Truly that is the only way I can describe it.
I am humbled by the grace of this beautiful energy and ever so grateful to assist others to connect
with it.
One of the many wonderful things about Reiki is that it works on body, mind and spirit.
Some people find their way to Reiki searching for peacefulness in this fast paced often chaotic
world. Others seek assistance in dealing with a specific issue (grief, anxiety, physical ailment etc.).
Regardless of what brings someone to Reiki, its benefits can be felt in all aspects of a person's
being.
The reasons why people choose to learn this beautiful art varies as well. Some people intend to
use it only on themselves. Many want to help others by offering Reiki to them. I have taught
students who intend to incorporate into their current occupation. Some people simply feel "drawn"
to learn about it.
Teaching Reiki is so exciting because of "the ripple effect." The more people who learn this
beautiful modality and share it with others, the more this loving energy is felt in the world.
I love to see the joy of the student when they feel Reiki flowing through them to the recipient.
Those moments are priceless!
My intention is for the information on the following pages is to assist you to have a basic
understanding of Reiki.
I have met people who have read books or watched videos out of curiosity about Reiki and I told
each of them the same thing; "It is in experiencing Reiki that a person discovers its wonders."
