This blog, inspired by her candid dialogue with MysticMag, aims to explore the transformative essence of Reiki, as experienced by Dina, and to illuminate the path for others toward a harmonious and empowered existence through this ancient and mystical healing art.
What inspired you to become a Reiki practitioner and establish “Reiki with Dina”?
My journey into Reiki began during a particularly demanding phase of my life when I owned a spa franchise. Working upwards of 70-80 hours a week while raising my son was unsustainable, and I sought a change that would allow me more time with him. Beyond my personal circumstances, I’ve always felt a natural draw towards energy work. This inclination was further nurtured through experiences with a friend who practiced Shamanic energy work and Reiki on me. These sessions had a profound effect, significantly alleviating my stress and giving me a sense of liberation from the burdens I carried.
Additionally, my interactions with massage therapists who integrated Reiki into their sessions introduced me to the tangible benefits of this practice. But perhaps the most compelling indication of my connection to Reiki was an intuitive practice I engaged in since childhood. Whenever my sisters or later, my son, had fevers, I would place my hands over them, instinctively feeling as though I could draw out the fever. This innate ability, which I practiced long before my formal Reiki education, convinced me of the natural healing power inherent within us all—a power that, I believe, many of us have lost touch with or never learned to access.
This blend of personal need for a more balanced life, coupled with a deep-seated belief in the healing energies we all possess, led me to pursue Reiki more seriously. Establishing “Reiki with Dina” was a natural progression in my journey to embrace and share this healing art with others, helping them to rediscover and harness their inner healing abilities.
Can you explain the different Reiki treatments you offer and how each one caters to individual needs?
At my practice, I offer Reiki sessions of both 60 and 90 minutes, in addition to employing energy grids as part of the treatment process. Regardless of the session length or type—be it hands-on healing or distance healing—each session is uniquely tailored to meet the specific needs of the client.
I begin each session by seeking permission from the client’s subconscious to work on various aspects of their being, including the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual planes. This holistic approach allows me to intuitively guide my hands to the areas requiring the most attention, often resulting in full-body Reiki sessions. However, there are times when specific areas demand more focused energy, guiding where I concentrate my efforts.
The customization of each session is pivotal. My clients come with a diverse array of needs, ranging from stress relief and emotional healing to addressing physical ailments or seeking spiritual growth. I view my role as a catalyst, igniting a transformative process for those who may feel stuck or blocked energetically. By tailoring each session to the individual’s unique condition, I aim to facilitate a meaningful shift toward well-being and balance.
How does your approach to Reiki incorporate both hands-on and distance healing methods?
That’s an insightful question. In my practice, I treat hands-on and distance healing with equal importance, as the efficacy of both methods fundamentally depends on the client’s openness to receiving energy healing. The main distinction with hands-on healing is the physical presence of the client, which allows for a more tactile experience and direct interaction. This personal touch can enhance the sense of connection and comfort during the session.
On the other hand, distance healing transcends geographical limitations, enabling me to work with clients worldwide. Despite the lack of physical presence, the results can be profoundly impactful. For instance, a client from Egypt reported feeling an intense sense of euphoria, akin to ecstasy, during our session. Others have been keenly aware of the session’s start and end times or simply felt a gentle flow of energy leading to relaxation. The effectiveness of Reiki in these instances underscores the importance of the recipient’s receptiveness to the healing process.
Ultimately, whether through hands-on or distance sessions, the outcome of Reiki remains consistent. It’s the individual’s openness to the energy that can amplify their experience. Regardless of their conscious perception of the energy, it flows where it is needed, facilitating healing and well-being.
What are some common misconceptions about Reiki that you encounter, and how do you address them?
A prevalent misconception about Reiki, and energy healing in general, is the belief that the healer is the direct source of healing. As a Master Reiki practitioner, I view myself more as a conduit or guide for the healing energy. The Reiki energy flows through me, and I direct it towards the client, facilitating their own healing process. I often describe my role as a catalyst—a spark that assists individuals in their journey towards balance and wellness.
In the current global context, many are experiencing spiritual awakenings, leading them to explore energy healing. Clients may feel the energy coursing through them during a session, prompting a necessary shift. This could involve clearing blockages, reorganizing disordered energies, or reversing the flow of energy. Once these adjustments are made, clients often report a sense of clarity and an enhanced ability to move forward in their lives.
It’s important to understand that the healing energy doesn’t originate from the healers themselves but from a higher, universal source. The healer’s role is to facilitate access to this energy, enabling the client’s innate healing capabilities. This distinction is crucial in demystifying Reiki and acknowledging the empowerment it offers individuals in their healing journey.
Could you share a particularly memorable experience where you saw a significant positive change in a client after a Reiki session?
Choosing just one memorable experience is challenging due to the many profound transformations I’ve witnessed. However, one instance that stands out involves a client with a significant physical ailment. She came to me with a 4-inch cyst near her ovary. After a Reiki session, she described a sensation of intense heat around her reproductive organs. Remarkably, upon visiting her doctor the next day, it was discovered that the cyst had reduced to just 1cm. This example illustrates the tangible physical effects Reiki can facilitate.
Another notable case was with a client who had been emotionally stagnant after the end of a three-year relationship, unable to move forward for three years. Following her second Reiki session, she experienced a profound emotional shift, leading her to meet a new partner with whom she felt a deep connection. This transformation underscored the empowerment Reiki offers, reminding her that she held the power to manifest her desires.
Furthermore, I recall assisting a client in the early stages of her business. Faced with a lack of response to her marketing efforts, we conducted a hands-on Reiki session. Within days, her promotion on Groupon became overwhelmingly successful, necessitating the temporary suspension of her campaign due to the high volume of responses. This instance highlighted the synergy between Reiki and personal manifestation efforts, contributing to her burgeoning business success.
These experiences emphasize not only the diverse benefits of Reiki across physical, emotional, and professional realms but also the individual’s active role in their own healing and manifesting process. It is a collaborative energy exchange that catalyzes significant life shifts.
