When I first received reiki in April 2016, I had been unhappy for so long that it had become my norm. My first time receiving reiki helped me see this, and enabled me to heal and release experiences that drained my energy. I started therapy, received reiki regularly, got sober, kept a tarot and dream journal, and - over the course of the following three years - transformed into a different person. For the first time, I felt like I was in charge of my life instead of letting others - family, partners, friends - make decisions for me. I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am today if it weren’t for reiki, tarot, and dreamwork.
