Reiki Master Training

This month is all about the healing arts.  San Marcos is well known for being a mecca for yoga, massage courses, holistic treatments, and hippies.  It’s pretty much true.  Everyone who is staying here for longer than a few days seems to be taking a course in one thing or another, and John and I are no exception.  My course of choice is Reiki Master Training.

Reiki is a type of healing energy work practiced by the laying on of hands.  I completed my Reiki I training in San Marcos in 2009, and did Reiki II in Denver in 2011.  Now, I’m back in San Marcos completing my Reiki Master training at the San Marcos Holistic Center.  It’s all come full circle.

During my training I’ll be learning how to attune other students to the Reiki energy and how to teach them to practice Reiki on themselves and others.  Yes, it all sounds hippy-dippy – until you’ve experienced it firsthand.  Then you might think otherwise.  (I certainly did.)

I had my third attunement earlier this week, and I can already feel the energy flowing through my hands is more intense.  It’s pretty cool.  If you’ve never had Reiki and have no idea what I’m talking about, ask me the next time you see me and I’ll do a treatment for you.

John is taking a short course on accupressure, starting this afternoon, and has interest in a few other offerings as well.  With any luck, we’ll leave San Marcos with a few more skills than we arrived with.
