I don’t remember exactly when Pat started telling me my hands were hot and that I was meant to heal people with them.  I just remember that she said it a lot and I didn’t know how to process this information.  She kept telling me that if I don’t start healing people soon, not only will my hands be hot, so will the rest of me.  This information confused me.  Mostly because my hands didn’t feel hot to me.  I had no clue what she was talking about, and I just wanted to use my gifts as a psychic medium to help people.  But every time I saw her, she would remind me that I need to be using my hands to heal people.  I finally started paying attention.  One day during class I kept hearing the name of a Reiki Master Teacher, Lorraine, and how she was going to be teaching another class in the near future. Lorraine’s name had come up several times before, but this time I took notice.  I finally broke down and asked my fellow classmate for her number and started my journey to becoming a Reiki Master Teacher.

I really didn’t know anything about Reiki aside from the fact that it was a method that many energy healers and lightworkers use to aide them in healing themselves and others.  So, before I called Lorraine, I did some research and the more I learned about Reiki, the more it resonated with me.  After doing my research, I finally called Lorraine.  I explained that a few of my fellow classmates in Pat’s classes had recommended her, and that Pat kept telling me I had hot hands and I had no know idea why.  I told Lorraine that I wanted to be a student in her upcoming Reiki class.  She signed me up for both the class and a private session with her.  I was excited on both counts.

It was a lovely spring day in early April 2017 when I arrived for my Reiki session with Lorraine.  I was excited and nervous.  This was my only opportunity to experience Reiki before I started learning about the practice in-depth and how to use it to help others.  Lorraine greeted me warmly and put me at ease very quickly. She explained that just like a medium/intuitive session, every Reiki session is different and that I should have no expectations. This was a great piece of advice that I share with my own clients.  Since I’d never experienced Reiki before, it was easy to have no expectations because I had no idea what to expect!  As Lorraine worked in my energy I found myself in a deep state of relaxation and contentment.  Something about my experience resonated so deeply within me, that I knew I had made the right choice to learn this beautiful healing art.  I also knew that Lorraine was the perfect teacher for me. May 6, 2017 couldn’t come fast enough, and I was grateful Lorraine was the teacher the Universe provided.
