“The Reiki method is not only for curing illness. Its true purpose is to correct the heart-mind, keep the body fit, and lead a happy life using the spiritual capabilities human beings were endowed with since birth.”
~ From the memorial stone of Mikao Usui, founder of the Usui System of Reiki Healing
Reiki is a form of complementary therapy relating to energy healing. It works with the energy fields around the body and involves the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner’s palms to the client.
Energy medicine aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Improving the flow of energy around the body can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.
Reiki is most often used as a home or folk art to soothe the physical and mental distresses of everyday family life. Reiki is also practiced in professional settings and in conjunction with conventional medical care.
I discovered Reiki in February 2020, while visiting my hometown Arad, Romania, when a friend recommended it. I had always been open to complementary and alternative medicine, so I said yes! The first Reiki session made me feel instantly relaxed, calm, and immediately energized, and this feeling stayed with me for a few weeks after the initial therapy. A whole new world opened up for me.
I returned to Toronto, Canada, where I was residing at that time, and I began searching and reading more about this Japanese energy healing art. Following on this journey, I received Reiki initiations from Toronto based Master/Teacher Dan Miron and I am currently a Master/Teacher in Usui Reiki of Seven Levels system.
After returning to Romania in 2022, I continued to study and practice Reiki in Arad with Master/Teacher Carmen Georgescu and I am currently a Level 3 Reiki practitioner of Za`Rya Reiki System, as well. And this journey continues.
