It's History...

It was at the end of 2003 or beginning of 2004 that I re-attended a Silva Method Seminar.  My daughter had been suffering from incapacitating pain that was finally diagnosed as fibromyalgia (after an extended time of being told it was all in her head of course.)  I met a Reiki Master there and he told me to go get attuned to Reiki and work on my daughter.  I also was unhappy in my career in Corporate America and he suggested that I look at making healing my career… he said that I was meant to be a healer …and coach.  Coach? I remember asking him to describe what he was talking  about, as I had no clue! (I’ve since figured it out!)  ;) 

My Reiki Story…

I  listened to the Reiki Master from the Seminar.  I became attuned to Reiki Level II and started working on my daughter.  She, at the tender age of 22, was living on Vicodin and I was worried that she’d become addicted, even though she didn’t seem to get much relief from the pain, even from Vicodin… sometimes she’d have to get pain shots on top of it from her pain management doctor.   Time passed she seemed to be doing better and better… it was gradual, not overnight.  But there was improvement.

She became pregnant with my first grandchild.  Fibro tends to go into remission with pregnancy, so after the baby was born I waited for her to have the incapacitating pain again.  She didn’t get it… then she pointed out to me that even before she had gotten pregnant it was gone and she credited the Reiki for the improvement!  The whole time I was sending Reiki to her or working on her in person I doubted that it would work.

It didn’t matter though, whether I believed or not!  The energy is real!  It does work, independent of your belief or my belief.  Of course now I believe… and I’ve gone on to study and cultivate the energy extensively with my Qigong training and meditations.  So I am a better channel today for the energy than I was before, when my daughter’s health improved radically and her pain went away!  My clients have noticed a difference in the energy that I channel. I continue to practice and study Qigong and meditate, building chi and becoming a more efficient channel and more skilled healer.  It is my life’s work, my calling.

The Reiki – Qigong Connection…

I've  received many new attunements, graciously given by my new Reiki Master, Dan Ferrera.  I was originally attuned to Reiki level 1 & 2 in May of 2004 and to Master level in 2006. Since 2008 I've been attuned and reattuned to Usui Reiki, as well as, Kundalini Reiki and Seichim and many more. Since practicing Qigong I’ve noticed, and more importantly my regular clients have noticed, increased power in my Reiki healing.

This is because Qigong is the practice of cultivating energy. I wanted to be able to do more than just channel the energy… I wanted a greater understanding and experience of the energy. I have found that through Qigong I can not only work with the energy, but also play with the energy. I have a greater sensitivity to the energy and I seem to be a more effective channel for it as a result of my ongoing training.

The Coaching Connection

The Reiki Master at the Silva Seminar said I was to be a Healer and Coach... and after a succesful 18 year career in advertising sales, it was time for a change.  But how to change?  I kept remembering what the Reiki Master had told me.  A coach, Kathy Igoe, popped into my life (love the Universe's timing!) I discovered so much about myself, working with Kathy.  I finally started thinking about what was important to me and my limiting beliefs started dissolving.  I finally had the courage to believe in possibilities!
