I had been in a place of such complete suffering that I felt the only thing left to do was surrender to Spirit and as soon as I let go, Spirit led me to Reiki.  In the years that followed so many healing changes took place in my life. Here are the top five benefits of learning Reiki that I am thankful for today:

When it comes to energy healing work, many people are skeptical.  Reiki and other natural modalities are often not accepted as legitimate healing methods.  While there are some people who are willing to take a leap of faith and give Reiki a chance to see for themselves what it can do, others want to know if science can get behind Reiki. 

Reiki has become a fairly common practice in many parts of the Western World.  There are still places, however, where it is largely unknown.  In the Midwestern United States, many people have never even heard of Reiki, let alone have any idea what it is. 

As the author of Reiki educational material for children, I have heard some objections to teaching kids Reiki.  While most Reiki practitioners are very accepting of the idea, there are some who believe that it isn’t right to teach Reiki to children.  I understand their concerns and would like to take time to answer the top five objections I hear against Reiki training for kids. 

As a Reiki Master, part of my job is to train others in Reiki.  I want to help fellow Masters spread this wonderful modality throughout the world.  I want to help people discover Reiki and what it can do for them. 

In my endeavor to reach students, I asked myself what it means to be a healer and what clues are there to let a person know if it is the right path for them.
