Did I Find Reiki, Or Did Reiki Find Me?

I was thinking about how I found Reiki when I realized I hadn’t found Reiki; it had found me. I should say that I’m relatively new to Reiki, and not new to the ideas it encompasses or some of its practices. In recent months I was doing my other meditative and related practices and my meditations took a unique direction. I was, at the time, completely unaware of the existence of Reiki.

During one particular meditation, I received what I call a ‘chunk’ of information about energy, frequency, vibration and their relation to matter—both what we normally call living things and those we consider non-living (rocks for example, although some would quibble at that). I’ve had these sorts of ‘chunk’ experiences over my life and can only describe what it’s like by saying the ‘chunk’ comes fully formed. I don’t have to think about it to fill in any blanks, although it is usually necessary to carefully contemplate the information. Kimberlee told me what I describe as a ‘chunk’ to be, “Intuitive Cognition.” I like that description better, because the word intuition carries with it a sense of wholeness or completeness.

The bottom line of this particular ‘chunk’ was that everything is energy vibrating at different frequencies and the frequency at which it vibrates is directly related to the form in which it appears. Is this starting to sound familiar—the everything is energy part? I later read a quote of Einstein where he said (paraphrasing), “Matter is energy slowed down to where it can be seen.”

This whole idea intrigued me, because for the first time I actually got the entire picture. I’d had it conceptually in the past; now I had it experimentally. I tried to explain this on three different occasions to three different friends and acquaintances and got some pretty weird looks. But I was determined to find out more and guess what? I did.

Searching the Web sort of mindlessly one day I came across the word, “Reiki,” and read a bit about it. There was the theme of energy and frequency. Now I was hooked. Unfortunately the attunement I first chose was not The Secret of Reiki experience. I found that after doing this really weird process I felt absolutely nothing. I did get a not so cheerful refund, and more or less gave up on Reiki.

Shortly thereafter I again came across Reiki on the Web and The Secret of Reiki site. I decided, ‘what the heck,’ and purchased the materials. Why? I can only say that after one really sour experience I felt dumb doing it again and yet there was Kimberlee on my screen with an open, honest and genuine presentation; even her picture has a quality of what I call an, “is-ness,” of someone fully in the present moment showing who they are beyond the mask of personality.

I read the materials, did the attunement and to my great pleasure and surprise it worked. I think it better not to describe my experience because everyone has their own unique attunement experience. However, following my attunement, things seem different, more defined, the edges of things are clearer—like a fog of some kind lifted. My intuition is sharper and clearer. My meditations are different and they bring insights more frequently.

I think this coming of Knowledge, ‘chunking,’ or, “Cognitive Intuition,” is simply a manifestation of the same energy we use when we self-treat or give others Reiki. While that sounds as if energy is somehow divisible it’s probably more like tuning a receiver to a different station at different times.

Reiki is completely consistent and complimentary to practices I was doing before attunement and what Reiki has also done is to help me integrate a range of varied pieces of knowledge and skills into a more cohesive understanding. Reiki is a beginning, not a conclusion and it seems to unfold for me every day in every moment. Oh, and you may start to notice that the small things you once thought inconsequential are the things that are really most important.

Breathe in life and enjoy,
