As a Reiki Master, it is both my honor and privilege to share my life’s journey over the past 15 years since I received my first attunement from my Guru, Kamla Aunty. May her soul rest in peace.
Being a single mother raising two children is never an easy path—especially in a society that often views divorced women with doubt and contempt. Life felt heavy until one day, while reading an article on Reiki in California, I stumbled upon a path that would transform my life.
While visiting Sedona, known for its powerful energy vortexes, I experienced something extraordinary. One afternoon, as I meditated atop the highest Sedona mountain with the French group I was touring with, I felt an intense current enter my body thrice through my root chakra. Panicked, I turned to the guide and asked what was happening to me. His calm reply stayed with me: “The energy chooses the soul it wishes to enter. You are good.” That moment marked the beginning of my deep connection with Reiki.

Understanding Reiki
Reiki is a holistic, light-touch therapy that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word “Reiki” comes from two Japanese words: Rei (universal) and Ki (life energy). It is based on the idea that a universal life force flows through all living beings, aiming to bring balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit.

How Reiki Works
- Attunement: Reiki practitioners receive attunements from certified masters, enabling them to channel universal energy.
- Hand Positions: Practitioners place their hands on or above the body in specific positions.
- Energy Flow: The practitioner’s hands become conduits for healing energy, flowing into the recipient’s body.
There are several types of Reiki, including Usui Reiki (the original form), Western Reiki, Karuna Reiki (an advanced form using additional symbols), and Rainbow Reiki (incorporating color healing).
Personal Encounters with Reiki’s Miracles
Reiki’s power has manifested in countless moments throughout my journey. On Halloween night in San Francisco, I attended a farm party when a friend suddenly struggled to breathe. Her pulse slowed, and she began sinking. In that moment of panic, I called upon Reiki’s divine energy, placing my hands on her heart. Within seconds, she gasped, opened her eyes, and cried with happiness. It felt miraculous—but I knew I was merely an instrument, channeling universal energy to restore her vitality.
Another unforgettable incident occurred during a flight from Mumbai to Bangalore. A two-day-old baby with a heart condition was being transported to Sai Baba Hospital. Just ten minutes before landing, the child stopped responding. The parents were inconsolable, and I found myself seated just across the aisle. Trusting the divine, I hugged the infant close to my heart, attuning it with Reiki energy. Moments later, the baby cried—and when I turned its tiny face towards mine, it smiled. Once again, the divine healing had intervened.
Such experiences reaffirm my belief in Reiki’s extraordinary potential—not just for physical healing but for elevating our souls closer to the divine. There are many more stories to share, but for now, I leave you with this thought: May spiritual healing uplift us to greater heights and guide us toward peace and wholeness.
Amen.
