Fitness-tracker

A client measured his stress level during and after our Reiki session (without my knowledge, which was kind of fun). The white meditating man in the picture at the top marks when the Reiki session was held (at a distance). The graphs show that a clearly lower stress level begins and persists throughout the following day.

The client writes in his text-message:

"Here you can see what my high-tech fitness tracker says about my stress level as well. The icon with the Meditation Guy marks when we did Reiki. The second picture is from today. You can see that the average value is clearly lower than yesterday, and I have done about the same things as I always do."

After a few more treatments, this client took a course from me and is now a Reiki practitioner.

The heart in the stone floor

This heart turned up after I did a number of Reki sessions with a client during 2023. The client and her two daughters have lived in this house for twenty years, and they all know every square inch of it. So it was mildly surprising, to say the least, when the younger daughter found this black heart in the bathroom floor on January 1, 2024.

It becomes extra personal if you consider my client's close relationship with the color black, and especially with black little hearts (she likes to draw them).

No matter how you interpret it, it's a nice reminder that a new year can mean new opportunities and chances for change–which is what Reiki is all about.

The heart on the sidewalk

I came across this litte pink heart while I was going through an extremely intense period after being attuned (initiated) to Reiki 1 and Reiki 2. For several weeks afterwards, I was seeing pink and purple things everywhere, not least in my apartment, and I had a lot of other symptoms of a classic Kundalini-awakening.

The day before I saw this heart, I had asked for a sign that what happened was actually real, and you can imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this heart the day after. It's like it was telling me to calm down, everything is fine, you're on the right track.

Bottom line: I've been forced to open up so much more since being initiated to the three levels of Reiki–and to accept how little I really know and understand.
