I became interested in learning about Reiki after attending a lecture on personal growth techniques. The lecturer seemed so calm and at peace with herself that I felt this was just what was missing from my own life. At the end of the lecture she explained a little about Reiki and I knew that I wanted to know more.
Through the net I found a Reiki Master/Teacher called Pam who lives in the Adelaide Hills and who was giving a Level I Class the following month and was able to fit me in. I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised, when I arrived at her home, to be greeted by an 'ordinary' person who welcomed me into her home where I was introduced to three other students who were waiting to take the first step in their journey to accepting Reiki as a healing tool primarily for themselves but also for the good of others. The whole day was a lovely, enlightening experience and after that day I couldn't wait to practice Reiki on myself, my family, my dogs, my friends - anyone who was willing to let me put my hands on them.
Since then I have completed Levels II and III (Master/Teacher)and now enjoy passing on the benefits of Reiki to others.
