The great power of our mind and body to balance and heal itself has become much more widely recognised, studied and utilised over recent years. Although of course the power has always been there.

Mindfulness meditation techniques for example are now offered by an increasing number of companies and organisations to their employees. This therapy is shown to help people suffering from overwhelm, stress and even depression, and highlights how integral a role our thoughts & minds play in our overall wellbeing.

Reiki energy healing may currently seem more ‘woo-woo’ than mindfulness (to many at least), but in fact both have now become more recognised and practised as complementary treatments within many hospitals and other areas of the NHS.

Could perhaps the next great scientific discovery be that the human body has far more potential and power to heal itself than any man-made drug?

Rob has been practicing Reiki since mid-2016.

After studying to level 2, Practitioner level, a friend introduced him to Kundalini Reiki, and perhaps more importantly to the fact that there are many types of Reiki. He learnt both Usui & Kundalini Reiki to Master level by early 2017 and then embarked upon a search of different Reiki types, and to learn as much as he could about Reiki.

This search was mainly focused on self-healing and self-improvement, but always had an underlying theme of wanting to help others.

By the middle of the year he had been ‘attuned’ to Master level for a number of different types of Reiki including, but not limited to: Ascension Reiki, Lavender Flame Reiki, Silver Violet Flame Reiki, New Usui Reiki and a number of others. But none of these quite hit the mark in terms of what he was searching for.

All of that changed however when he attended a residential course in July 2017 to learn Holy Fire Reiki.
