I had a back issue. It started when I was a teenager and continued well into my 30's. It had gotten to a point where i was not comfortable in any position. I tried chiropractors, body stress release, massage and physiotherapy. These modalities all brought temporary relief but the discomfort would always come back. One night, I went to a friends house for dinner. Moving from chair to chair in discomfort, my friend asked me, “why dont you try Reiki?” I had no idea what it was. She explained that it was a natural healing method to bring balance to the body energetically. I thought, 'I am not gonna try that!' All that energy stuff sounded weird. No thank you.
