The Extension Cord

If I were asked to give a simple explanation of how I think Reiki works, it would be like this. If the client were a lamp, and the source energy were the wall socket, then the practitioner is the extension cord that connects the two.

Some would ask, why not just plug the lamp directly into the wall socket or the source. Sometimes, as we often find ourselves in life, we become too far from the source. The practitioner is neither the lamp nor the source but simply a conduit to connect and assist the energy to flow where it is needed at that time.

That certainly isn’t a scientific explanation, nor will it convince the occasional skeptic. It is however, a wonderful experience when it occurs. Not only has the client received healing energy from source but the practitioner often receives valuable insights that assists them in their Reiki journey. While every session is different, there is always something more to learn.

I look forward to helping more clients in 2024 and for the wonderful things in store for us all.
