Since I graduated my reiki course in Nov 2013, I have been quietly reiki-ing my hubby - initially without his knowing - as he had once told me he truly didn't believe in it, and even thought it was some sort of cult!
Somehow, I thought it might benefit him in some way, so I just began to reiki him, just by placing a gentle hand on his lap or his arm, as we sat together watching TV.
A month passed, and suddenly, he pronounced that he would quit smoking cold turkey!
Now, he had always told me he wanted to quit, but it would always be a half-hearted attempt that lasted a week at best.
So when he mentioned it again, I was like, OK that's great - let's see how long this lasts.
But he finally did quit - and hasn't had a fag since! He even began hating the scent of cigarette smoke.
The next interesting effect on him was when he suddenly became quite keen on starting an exercise programme - he started reading into running and cycling, and couldn't seem to decide which he wanted to delve into.
So he started to do both!
This happened 2 months after my secret reiki treatments on him. I wouldn't have believed it if it didn't happen before my eyes!
You see, he is more a couch potato kinda guy. When he was in his teens, he did participate actively in sports and went competitive for a bit, but dropped out of it once he started working. That's been more than 15 years!
Reiki just gave him the kick he needed.
And recently, about 2 weeks ago, he made another pronouncement. He'd be taking up yoga and cutting back on red meats - so now he is semi-vegetarian!
He'd always been a steak and potatoes person - so this was really surprising.
Another breakthrough he had when he did his yoga (which I went with him) - he got in touch with his spiritual side - and was really left flabbergasted by the experience. The yoga we did, not only touched on the physical aspects, but also touched on the meditative points - and that clearly woke his soul up. He couldn't stop gushing over his experience with me, and it gave me the chance to let him know it was okay, and not some mumbo jumbo imagined thing.
My hubby is a realist, and pragmatist - and spiritual things had never made sense to him - so discussing such matters with him would be considered taboo.
Now I can have an easy conversation with him on spiritual matters, and he'd be more open to the topic, and join in the discussion or debate.
If you asked me, reiki rocks!
