Reiki Saved Me — It Awakened My Soul and Changed My Life
When life feels like it’s falling apart, something deeper is often trying to come together. Reiki saved me and became the doorway to that healing, and this is the story of my healing journey.
This post is for those who prefer to read instead of listen. If you’ve ever wondered what Reiki really is, how it’s used, or how it can change your life — this story is for you.
From Deep Loss to Divine Connection
In 2007, my life changed dramatically. I miscarried my twins, lost my car in a hailstorm, and had to move from a home I loved — all in one devastating weekend. That loss triggered a downward spiral of grief, physical health issues, and emotional collapse. But through it all, there was always a quiet inner voice — a knowing that somehow, everything would be okay.
This inner nudge led me to Reiki.
My First Reiki Attunement
A friend introduced me to a Reiki Master in Scone. With little understanding of what Reiki really involved, I received my first attunement over four hours. At the time, I didn’t fully grasp what was happening — only that my body was buzzing and vibrating with energy.
When I returned home, my hands would randomly heat up or tingle, especially when placed on painful areas of my body. Even without understanding how or why, I was being guided into self-healing.
Finding Community and Deeper Understanding
The more I followed the energy, the more synchronicities unfolded. I joined spiritual churches and Reiki sharing circles. There, everything started to make sense. I practised regularly, learned from mentors, and finally understood the symbols, techniques, and deeper purpose of Reiki.
Eventually, I became attuned to Reiki Master-Teacher level and began sharing this sacred energy with others.
Healing Through Practice and Personal Crisis
Between 2008 and 2010, I faced several health challenges. A uterine fibroid worsened, and I was hospitalised multiple times. It eventually led to a hysterectomy that saved my life — but also took away my lifelong dream of becoming a mother.
During those dark times, Reiki became my light. Each night, I would place my hands on my abdomen and simply ask to be healed. The energy that flowed through me gave me peace, relief, and hope. It didn’t fix everything, but it changed me.
The Guides Who Showed Up
Over the years, Reiki introduced me to powerful guides. Archangel Michael appeared in some of my most desperate moments, reminding me that I was never alone. Metatron and Buddha also came through during healing sessions, offering wisdom and strength.
In one circle, the energy of Buddha actually entered my body. My class watched as I shifted physically to hold the energy. These moments shaped how I now teach and attune others to Reiki — allowing their guides to show up through me with clear, empowering messages.
What You Learn at Each Reiki Level
-
Reiki I is for self-healing — focusing on your body, energy, and awareness.
-
Reiki II allows you to heal others, including from a distance.
-
Reiki III (Master/Teacher) expands your capacity to teach and attune others.
The most important lesson? Reiki is not something you do — it’s something that flows through you. You are the channel, not the source.
How Reiki Saved Me and Fits into Everyday Life
Reiki can be used in ways most people never think about:
-
Reiki your food or water before consuming
-
Reiki your bed for restful sleep
-
Balance your chakras daily
-
Use symbols to set intentions
-
Clear energy after client sessions
-
Protect your aura as an empath
For empaths especially, Reiki is essential. Before I learned to use it properly, I was absorbing everyone’s energy and carrying burdens that weren’t mine. Reiki taught me how to shield, clear, and return to centre.
Some fo the Ways Reiki Saved Me – Real Stories of Impact
Over the years, I’ve witnessed some beautiful shifts:
-
A client in palliative care found peace and less pain during her transition
-
My plants (yes, even the ones I forgot to water) began to thrive with Reiki
-
Sharing healing energy with trees on my walks became a daily ritual
-
Students I have trained are now helping others heal worldwide
One letter I received from a husband after his wife passed away changed me. She had written a message before she died, thanking me for helping her let go of pain and pass with ease. That reminder stays with me to this day.

Final Words
Reiki isn’t just a modality — it’s a way of life. It teaches presence, trust, energy awareness, and deep spiritual connection. And once it’s activated in you, the journey unfolds in powerful ways.
If you’re an empath, a healer, a seeker, or simply someone ready to clear the noise and remember who you are — Reiki might just be the start of everything you’ve been searching for.
