I experienced energy healing for the first time about 30 years ago. During a qi gong healing session, I felt a sensation of movement on the surface of my body. Yet the practitioner was standing many feet away from me. How could this be? What was I feeling? I really was stunned by this conundrum – that I could feel something so clearly in my body when my eyes told me I was not being physically touched. When the session ended I asked the practitioner what had happened. He smiled and said simply, “You felt energy. Energy is everywhere. I just channeled it to you.”
I filed this conversation away and didn’t think much about it until a few years later when I was on a search for emotional healing. On a friend’s recommendation, I visited a Reiki practitioner. Once again, I was blown away by this “energy stuff.” I decided to learn more and began taking reiki classes. I have completed Reiki Levels 1, 2, and 3. I will complete the Reiki Master class in November.
