Last Thursday morning, I went for my first Reiki treatment. My first thoughts about the hour plus session was exceptional deep relaxation. And not a burning or painful feeling in my shoulders, but something. I was aware that I had been holding a lot of stress in that area, I always do. But after and even during the session I was very, very aware of it. But it wasn’t pain that I felt. I think the best way to describe the sensation is release. My neck and shoulders were more relaxed than I can recall them ever being.

Secondary to the relaxation was a sense of well being, happiness really. I was feeling very “up”, almost euphoric, and energized. I wanted to hug people haha. And though I felt energized, I also felt mellow. As in I felt like strolling, not walking, not rushing, but making slow, decided steps with purpose. My consciousness of everything was just that, I was feeling very aware, period. And it was GOOD!

Days later I still feel that sense of relaxation. My pain has been significantly less. I have not felt the need to take tylenol for my feet or back and NO headaches in the evenings. I’m stiff and a bit joint achy, but I know the overcast weather has a lot to do with that. It’s so low key though, I still don’t feel the need to take the tylenol. And I LIKE that. A lot.

I feel serene, unflappable, mellow and more my usual happy-go-lucky self than in a very, very long time. I am definitely going to go for more sessions and I am more interested in learning Reiki to treat myself. Absolutely!

Thank you very much Cesca!
