Reiki Master
My Journey
My name is Donna Read Pleasanton. Welcome to Real World Reiki. I’d like to share my Reiki journey with you. I am passionate about Reiki because it changed my life!
I was in my mid 30’s when I was hit with a mysterious illness. I was in constant pain. I went to several doctors, endured a battery of tests that came up with nothing. They couldn’t figure out what was going on! The last doctor suggested exploratory surgery or a pain clinic to which I promptly declined. A dear friend of mine suggested I try Reiki. She truly believed in the power of holistic practices. At that time I had no idea what Reiki was, but I trusted her. She set me up with a Reiki practitioner (master level), who became my mentor . I started going for Reiki sessions and within 3 months or so my pain was eradicated! Completely gone. What a relief.
This was truly fascinating to me. As I continued with my Reiki journey my life began to change. I started questioning just about everything! I learned that we often do not process our emotions. Instead, we stuff them. We push them down into our bodies by the distractions we choose to engage in. This causes an energetic imbalance in the body. This imbalance is what causes pain, anxiety, depression, disease, addiction etc.
Reiki began to heal me in a way I didn’t even realize I needed. It set me on a spiritual path that has brought real peace into my life. It led me to my authentic self and gave me the courage to live my life without hesitation. I was finally comfortable in my own skin.
Reiki kept calling me through the years so I decided it was time to study it . This brought me an even deeper level of understanding the energetic world we navigate. Reiki healing energy works on all levels, mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Opening doors you never even realized existed.
I would love to help you discover the doors in your life that are waiting to be opened through your own Reiki journey.
Peace,
Donna

OK. I was a skeptic to say the least. I had my doubts about this Reiki. I finally decided to try it and went with an open mind. What did I have to lose? I felt very comfortable in the surroundings. The table was soft and the room relaxing. The first thing I experienced was my stomach growling and making all kinds of noise. Then tears just started flowing . I was not sad. I didn’t know where this came from. I was almost asleep when she asked me to turn over to work on my back. The session ended, we talked a little and I went home. As I relaxed that night, I had some crazy feelings. My arms felt like they were weightless. I felt calm and peaceful. The following day, my arms still felt light and I was in a very good frame of mind.

What is Reiki?
Are you curious about Reiki? Have you heard it mentioned and wondered what it’s all about?
Reiki is a hands on healing modality that originated in Japan and is on its way to becoming mainstream here as well. Many hospitals in the U.S. are incorporating Reiki into their care plans.
As wonderful as life is, it also presents many challenges. We are often ingesting a regular diet of negativity without realizing we are storing this energy in our bodies. This stored energy is what causes anxiety, depression, illness, disease, addictions etc.
In a Reiki session (app 1 hr) the practitioner works to release this energy, leaving space for the positive energy to flow. The client is fully clothed and lies on a massage table or is seated in a chair if necessary. The practitioner will lightly place their hands in specific areas or hover just above the body as needed. There is never any invasive touch. During a session the client may experience being hot or cold, body twitches, stomach gurgling, tears etc. Some may even fall asleep! This is all normal as your body is releasing .
Reiki works on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. It promotes stress reduction and relaxation that in turn triggers the body’s natural healing ability. After a clients first Reiki session most people report feelings of peace, harmony and relaxation. A general lightness. Other benefits include reduced pain, increased energy levels, emotional healing and stability, stress reduction and immune system boosts.
Reiki is cumulative. Regular Reiki treatments are a form of self care that promote a calmer more peaceful state of being and supports overall health by helping you maintain a state of physical and emotional balance. I am passionate about Reiki because it changed my life! I hope this gives you a better understanding of the healing benefits of Reiki. Experiencing Reiki first hand will explain more than my words ever could. Book a session and start your Reiki journey!
