My Spiritual Awakening: How Reiki Opened My Heart and Purpose
In 2010, I experienced a profound awakening that changed my life forever. At the time, I was going through therapy with an amazing therapist named Glenda, who was helping me work through traumas and old patterns, especially when it came to the kind of relationships I found myself in. During one of our sessions, she told me about an upcoming Reiki Level I and II training and invited me to attend.
I didn’t know much about Reiki back then, but something inside me said, “Go.” And I did. That class changed everything.
My First Experience with Reiki
When I took the course, I had the most spiritual experience of my life. As the session began, I felt something open within me — a connection I hadn’t felt in years. I started to pray to God, and I felt both Jesus and God fill the space around me.
I remember breaking down, asking for forgiveness for all the mistakes I had made, all the pain I had caused, and all the ways I had held myself back. In that vulnerable moment, I heard a voice say:
“My Child, I have always loved you. You just need to forgive yourself and let it go.”
Those words unlocked something in me. I felt an incredible wave of love, release, and peace. I realized that I didn’t need to seek forgiveness through someone else, like a Bishop — I was already too hard on myself. I just needed to humbly ask, “Can you forgive me? Can you help me do better?”
And the beautiful part? I received my answer. I realized I could have my own direct communication with God and Spirit.
A Vision of Purpose
That day, I had what I call my true awakening. I received a vision of a strong, empowered version of myself — riding on the back of a horse with long blonde hair, wearing flowing white clothing, armed with a crossbow, like a warrior princess.
This vision was symbolic but powerful. It was as if Spirit was showing me that I had a purpose — to protect, to guide, to heal, and to stand strong in my authenticity.
From that day forward, I have lived with a fire inside me — a calling to use Reiki and other healing modalities to support others in finding the same connection and peace.
My Reiki Journey
After that initial awakening, I dove deep into my Reiki practice, eventually earning my Reiki Master Teacher Certification. Reiki to me is like a prayer — I call in “Higher Source” energy to help heal the person I’m working with. It’s calming, soothing, and deeply spiritual.
I’ve worked with clients of all ages, and I continue to practice Reiki on myself. I’ve learned how sensitive I am to energy, and over time, I’ve developed tools to protect my own energy, not just while doing healings but in daily life.
Lessons and Precepts
Reiki has taught me that we are given tools, ideas, and guidance — all we need to do is ask. I often share the 5 Reiki Precepts with my students:
Just for today, do not anger.
Just for today, do not worry.
Be grateful.
Work diligently.
Be kind to others.
These simple principles can transform your life when you begin to live by them.
My Invitation to You
If you feel called to experience Reiki, I offer one-on-one Reiki and Tuning Fork Sessions that blend Reiki with sound healing for deep emotional and energetic release.
I am also preparing for my next Reiki Level I and II Certification Training and would love to share this powerful gift with you. Whether you want to heal yourself or become a practitioner, Reiki will shift the way you see energy and life.
I’ve also spoken about my healing journey in several podcasts, sharing how Reiki and Art Therapy have helped me overcome perfectionism, trauma, and self-doubt.
