Reiki Practice Session Day 1

 I am now Reiki 1 certified, I completed the class yesterday and got my attunement. I'm super excited to begin this new journey and see what unfolds.

I will keep my notes and journal from here as I practice daily before I move to Level 2, I don't really think I have the urge to become a Master but we'll see. Things could change.

Today, I followed the steps to practice self reiki, I focused on my Root chakra and did my meditation. It wasn't for as long as required but I did feel something. When I did my meditation on my forehead, I felt an unexpected warmth and tingle down the side of my head. My body has been aching all day, just a general soreness and I can't seem to warm up since being in that cold studio. That experience of the class was interesting and I'll have to write about tomorrow. I'm fairly tired right now.

I did do a practice session on a relative and I felt for the first time-the energy. It was subtle and intense at the same time, almost startling because I thought it would be different. Even though I told myself to leave my expectations at the door.

She had some chakras blocked and I felt the need to stay on certain areas more than others but all in all I did a 15 minute session. She felt completely relaxed afterwards and kept remarking how she felt like I was massaging her feet when I was actually at her head. She also mentioned that she felt an intense warmth over her legs and shins as well as her face. 

I could feel tingling and some warmth in my hands. Each chakra I moved to had a different feel, my intuition was telling me that it was closed or open, I felt some emotion on a couple of the chakras but for the most part, I could sense something for each section.

The most surprising part was when I did the prayer/beginning meditation asking for a clear channel and assistance from my spirit team. When I put my hands to my forehead, I felt a strong heat and tingling and the push to begin the session.

It's so strange that so much can be felt so early, I really thought it would take a lot longer to sense all of this but it's flowing so easily without resistance. I'm glad I chose to move forward with it and I feel like this is my calling. It's just the beginning of something much bigger, bigger than myself. For now, I have plenty of volunteers so I'll just continue to practice, practice, practice.
