Why did Lori learn Reiki? Can anyone learn? (yes)
Also, pain is an excellent motivator.
One of my most frequently asked professional questions has a very personal answer:
Q: Why did you learn Reiki?
A: Headaches.
🤦♀️
You know that emoji where the person’s palm is on their forehead? That was me on the day when a friend suggested that I learn self-Reiki.
Reiki was familiar to me when a friend (who knew my story about Reiki relieving super-bad stomach cramps) suggested Reiki for chronic headaches.
She saw me on the sofa with my eyes closed and my hand on my forehead. Quietly, she sat beside me and asked if I’d thought about learning Reiki.
I agreed to give learning a try. Why not? Even a small improvement to the headache situation would be worth the effort. And maybe the new skill would give me a sense of pain management control?
And you know what? It worked.
🤦♀️
I joked later that I had, for years, intuitively placed one or both hands on my forehead during headaches. After learning Reiki, I would do the same with the added boost of activating the Reiki in my hands. Same action with new skill and focused intention.
In addition to “in the moment” Reiki when I sensed the onset of a headache, daily self-Reiki became part of my routine. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to work Reiki into my day (aka, giving self Reiki while falling asleep at night — best sleep EVER).
Over time, self-Reiki improved relaxation, lifted my spirits, and facilitated a marked reduction in the frequency and severity of my headaches.
Can anyone learn Reiki?
YES. Everyone can learn. The learning process is simple, painless, and widely useful.
In the early days of Reiki teaching in North America, access to the training was expensive and exclusive. Fortunately, those days are over. Today, the phone in our pocket provides an overwhelming list of Reiki learning options and the biggest challenge these days is choosing what feels right for you.
