A website by Jo wouldn't be complete without some pages on Reiki! I discovered Reiki in 1999, and it will always be my first love in the world of energy healing. Reiki is so much a part of my life now, that I couldn't imagine being without it.

Reiki was a major catalyst for my returning to good health, and going on to create the life I wanted, and I will always be so thankful for it.

Many people go along to a Reiki workshop thinking that what they learn at the workshop is all there is to Reiki. I look at it a little differently - this is something I tell each class that I teach any level of Reiki to:

Imagine you are at a party, with me and another person who I know, and you don't. I think that the two of you would enjoy each others' company, so I decide to introduce you to each other. I tell each of you the other person's name, and maybe some details about them that would indicate that you have may have some mutual interests, then from then on, if you want to form a relationship with that person, it will be up to the two of you to get to know each other.

It is exactly the same with a Reiki workshop. The teacher introduces you to the energy and the symbols, and that's just the start. It's up to you to use the Reiki, really integrate it into your life, and then you will have a life long friend that will be with you whenever you need it.

I personally tap into the Reiki energy every single day. I use it to start my day with a self treatment before I get out of bed in the morning, and I finish my day the same way. Having used the symbols a lot for emotional healing, I find that whenever I tune into the Reiki, my link with my Higher Self seems to be so much stronger, and I often receive wonderful inspiration and answers to questions I've got out there to be answered while giving myself a Reiki. I use Reiki whenever I'm doing any other form of healing (it's great to run the Reiki through your fingertips while tapping with EFT, or while in the TAT pose), and I'm sure it is a big part of the reason why I am able to resolve so many issues on my own. I also love being able to treat family and friends whenever they are in need of a boost of energy, some relaxation or healing.

While Reiki is different to the other methods on this website, because you have to have an attunement from a Reiki teacher to be able to use it, the benefits available are so great, that it's well worth finding someone who is teaching in your area.
