Preparing for Reiki training

At the end of June I will be headed for my Level 1 of Reiki training. At the end of July I plan to attend the Level 2 workshop as well.

To prepare myself, I have been incorporating more yoga and meditation to my life. I felt as though that would be a great way to become more centered. I've also been reading up on chakra's and purchased new crystals that spoke to me.

It never occurred to me to actually read up on what to do. One of the steps I should have done was actually have a reiki session with my Reiki Master who will be teaching the course. I suppose I still have time to do that, but I'm pretty committed to the Level 1 training with him. I will say that is part of the reason I have not signed up for Level 2 with him since I wanted to wait and see how Level 1 went. Everything else I've been reading says to work on your meditation, but it says just the week before. Nope, I'm committed to my meditation (she says on day 4) so I'm going to keep it going all month long! Plus, today is National Meditation Day (did you know that was a thing?) so I'm happy that I've started incorporating this into my daily routine.

What's funny, 15-20 years ago when my Mother started upon her journey with Reiki, I would visit a friend of hers for my sessions. My Mom would always offer me healing, but I never really felt it was ok. To this day she offers to heal, and to this day I love on her for that, but she's done so much for me, I don't think I can ever ask her to do that. Now, as I start my own journey, I understand so much more her desire to help me. That's why we go down this path isn't it? To help others.

I'm very excited which is why I'm writing about this today. I look forward to the training and the internal surprises that are in store for me. I will continue to read up on how to prepare, and will share what I end up doing and learning so that others can learn! See, there's that helping again :)
