Oh, beautiful Reiki
Of rainbow colours bright.
What a wonder you are,
Though nowhere in sight!
This little poem is from the first chapter of our book ‘When Spirit Meets Science.’
My first encounter with Reiki happened when I was a child. I was playing with a friend at her home when I saw her mother standing beside a plant, with her palms over it, eyes closed and keenly focused.
When I asked my friend what was going on, she told me her mother was practicing something called ‘Reiki’ and sending good energy to the plants.
This scene struck a chord deep within me. It felt very natural to me that someone should be doing this.
“Wow! How nice to be able to send good energy to a plant,” I thought to myself.
I believe a Reiki seed was gently planted in my consciousness that day.
Little did I know back then that this act of sending and sharing ‘good energy’ would become my purpose in life one day.
Around a decade later, in the year 2007, Reiki came into my life.
And this time around, it came in like a whirlwind.
I developed a strong calling to experience Reiki.
I was in a difficult phase in life and each day was a struggle. My soul pushed me to expand and to connect to something much larger than the ‘human struggling me.’
And Reiki training helped me achieve this connection successfully.
Soon after the training, life began to flow – whatever wasn’t working well for me made its way out of my life and positive new circumstances took birth, almost as if by magic.
Synchronicity kicked in and re-arranged my life, one step at a time.
I just took whatever practical action I had to take at each step and thereafter surrendered to an ‘Intelligence’ much bigger than me, trusting that everything I needed would come to me.
And it did. Even beyond my wildest expectations.
And if someone asks what the logic behind this magic is, I cannot answer – for Reiki is not concrete.
It cannot be seen or measured.
Its many possible effects are best experienced.
To me, Reiki is a subtle sweet force that works silently, offers support on different levels, and pushes you to become more of who you are.
Reiki is magical, without appearing flamboyant.
And this magic, which has been the very foundation of my growth and success, inspired me to begin the book with a poem dedicated to Reiki.
Thank you Reiki for everything you do for me and for everyone whose lives you touch!
