A Positive Empowerment

This weekend I went along to a Reiki I workshop to receive an empowerment. You’re probably thinking what an earth is an empowerment? Well basically, once you’re attuned to the Reiki energy, you usually receive one empowerment during the course, and one at least 21 days after, to strengthen the energy.

Essentially it’s a guided meditation, which leaves me personally, deeply relaxed and sleepy. It’s like having an out-of-body experience. The meditation takes you to a wonderful, peaceful place from which you can return at any moment, but you often don’t want to come back.

After the empowerment I stayed for the rest of the afternoon whilst the  students learnt how to channel Reiki and give a Reiki I treatment. I also tried my hand at a little Psychic Surgery, which was a fantastic experience. I shall write-up the experience in a separate post, but for now, here are some photos of the Reiki I students. Enjoy…

Connecting to the energy - At the beginning of a treatment the practitioner connects and grounds themselves and says a prayer for the healing to take place.

Luis - Luis also connects to the energy whilst I was deep in meditation!

Learning - Being talked through the series of hand positions used during a treatment, starting with the Crown Chakra.

Healing - Working on the Solar Plexus / Sacral Chakras. Is it me or are those orbs on the right hand side??

Certificates - At the end of the two day training course, the students become Reiki I Practitioners.

And of course, no day would be complete without a hug...

Or two.

An emotional experience with Louis

As I mentioned before, my dog Louis has Hip Dysplasia and is sometimes in a lot of pain (See previous post Reiki for pets)

When I took my Reiki level I course we were taught that it’s important to give healing as much as possible and the more you do it the stronger the energy becomes.

All living things can benefit from healing including animals and plants. They say that animals in particular are very receptive to Reiki, whoever ‘they’ are. I’ve been told that once animals receive enough healing they often get up and walk off!

And it’s true. Sometimes I think Louis actually jumps on my lap and asks me for Reiki, in his own cute little way, and when I start he immediately falls into a deep sleep and snores his head off – and so does our other dog Alfie! Awww. But there is one session that will stay with me forever, it was a very emotional experience…

Louis slept in my room one night. As he cuddled up next to me I took advantage of the opportunity to give him some Reiki, without any distractions. For some reason this time I felt very emotional and tearful, it was as if I had really connected to his energy and felt his sadness. After the treatment Louis slept straight through, and so did I.

The next day I thought no more of the treatment until something amazing happened. I threw a toy for Alfie, and Louis actually ran after it! I think the last time he had run around in the garden was when he was a puppy. It was incredible to watch, therefore I had to share the story.

Truly amazing.
