My Reiki Story
I am an ex-medical doctor and Reiki transformed my life. I struggled through some major life events and Reiki has helped me live each day with more peace, joy and gratitude than I ever have.
I went from just surviving through life to truly thriving and you can too!
Like myself, many Reiki practitioners find Reiki after facing difficulty and challenges in their own lives. I have everlasting gratitude for how Reiki has transformed my life and wish to share this gift with others. Here's my story.
I found my younger years very challenging and I felt very lonely. I had a genuine desire to better the lives of people, and when combined with my academic strengths, it made sense to go into Medicine. It was in fact at Medical School when I first learnt about Reiki through a close friend. Once I graduated, my friend's mum, Sensei Savitri Sriharan, taught me Reiki all the way up to becoming a Reiki Master.
However, soon I discovered I didn't enjoy working as a doctor and needed to find something which fulfilled my soul. In 2008, after learning Reiki levels 1 & 2, I set off to New Zealand. I didn't know who I was or what I really wanted to do with my life. I faced uncertainty, but something in my heart told me to just take a chance and follow my dreams. In 2012 I left a career in medicine for good, returning to London to become an actress and Reiki practitioner. I even developed the courage to perform on screen and stage, something I never thought I'd be good enough for.
Life then appeared to get even better. I got married and gave birth to my beautiful son. However, I soon discovered I was in an abusive relationship. My dream came true became the worst nightmare. I found the courage to leave, but faced immense grief from the break up and loss of my family. I faced financial uncertainty and had no idea how I would raise my son alone, as a single mother.
Reiki became my support and my saviour. I decided that I had to dedicate myself to practicing every day. Each day, I asked for guidance on what steps to take to get through this tragedy, the divorce, and keep our home. Reiki guided me to dear friends, an incredible domestic abuse support group, and ultimately to freedom.
Reiki, along with hypnotherapy and surfing in the Atlantic ocean, allowed me to heal the roots of my trauma. Now I truly feel like I'm thriving in life! I never imagined I could ever come to a place feeling such peace, joy and gratitude in my life again.
Today, don't get me wrong, I still have areas to heal and there are days I still find very challenging. But, when I look back, I see how far I have come. I trust that whatever happens, I will be alright. I always have Reiki, by my side, whenever I need it, for life. How could something so simple, be so powerful?
I used Reiki to strengthen my connection to myself and the world around me. The deeper I listened to myself and my intuition, the more empowered the choices I made. I navigated my way more smoothly through whatever life threw at me. Empowering choices not only benefit me, but those around me. If we all connect to our truest, most authentic selves, we'd live in a more compassionate, connected and harmonious world.
