How Reiki Helped Me Understand Healing in a New Way
It was around 2014 –15. There were many things happening in my life, and I was feeling lost, drained, exhausted, dealing with brain fog and whatnot.
My friend Jayanthi suggested, “Why don’t you take a session with Manisha?” At that point in my life, I was ready to try anything.
Reiki as a Practice, Not Just a Session
I took three sessions, and I realized that my mental fog had reduced. I had fewer thoughts racing in my mind and felt joy after a long time. I got initiated by Manisha and thus started a self healing journey.
Over time, Reiki became more than something I received. It became something I integrated into my daily life:
- Pausing when I feel overwhelmed
- Placing a hand over my heart and breathing
- Checking in with my body instead of ignoring it
- Listening to subtle signals before they become loud symptoms
Healing stopped being an emergency response. It became a relationship with myself.
It Changed My Relationship With Control
I used to believe healing meant solving the problem — analyzing it, planning it, managing it. Reiki challenged that belief.
Lying there, doing nothing, I realized how uncomfortable I was with stillness. That awareness alone was healing.
Reiki showed me:
- I don’t have to control everything.
- My body knows how to restore balance.
- Rest is productive.
- Slowing down is not weakness.
For me now, Reiki is not about mystical experiences or dramatic transformations. It’s about coming home to myself.
It’s about remembering that beneath the stress, the fear, and the noise, there is a steady current of calm already within us.
Reiki simply helps us access it.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, exhausted, or overwhelmed, maybe the healing you need isn’t something to chase — maybe it’s something to allow.
