Soft music played in the background and he placed his hands lightly on my head and held the position for about 5 minutes (I think!) I relaxed very quickly and could feel my mind wondering off to sun kissed beaches. Then he invited me to lie down, face up on the therapy couch and just relax. He also asked me to picture in my mind’s eye something that I wanted to do, but not to tell him what it was.
I was able to physically feel the effects of what massage did with my own hands and I couldn’t get my head around how Reiki and other forms of healing worked if there was no contact involved.Īnyhow, I was looking forward to this new experience as well as being totally intrigued.īefore the treatment began, Graeme gave me some background as to why he had become a Practitioner and a brief history of how Reiki came to be. I had never really understood how it worked and I admit that I had been sceptical about it in the past because I used to doing Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, which involved hands-on, tangible work on the body’s soft tissues. I knew it involved lying fully clothed on a couch and the practitioner would lightly place their hands on the Chakra points (energy centres) of my body but that was about it. I confess I didn’t really know what to expect. It took place while I was at a Retreat in Bali and my practitioner was a mad Irish man called Graeme. My first Reiki treatment was a truly enlightening experience.
I did say in my Introduction that this blog would hopefully be light-hearted and informal! I should’ve mentioned that I have taken both Level 1 and Level 2 attunements over the past couple of years I told you I was hooked! And, as my ever-loving partner pointed out, I’m not 48 – I’m 49! Bless him…Īnyhow, back to the topic in hand.
