What do clients say about their Reiki experiences?

"After the first session, I felt lighter and stronger inside and out...like I had gotten both a massage and counseling. The effect lasted for over a week. I have had two sessions since, each one is different. I am looking forward to several more visits."

________________________________________________________________________"When I arrived at the Center for Reiki Wellness, the right side of my neck was so tight and painful that I could barely turn to look out the passenger window in my car. After Cyndy purged me of my negative energy (which is an unbelievable experience in itself), I got off the table feeling light, renewed, 70% pain free, and able to turn my neck almost completely to the right - unbelievable! I left feelking like a new woman, not only was my pain reduced immediately, the results lasted through the evening. I had more energy at 10:00pm that evening than I do when I wake up. To top it off, I awoke the next morning COMPLETELY pain free on the right side of my neck. Thank you Cyndy -- your passion and commitment to your amazing gift shines through in the results you deliver. My husband is next!"

________________________________________________________________________"I enjoyed my sessions with Cyndy. She gave me the ability to protect my spirit when I am massaging so many people each day. I felt calmer and more peaceful after each session. She allowed me to see an aspect of me that I never thought existed. Cyndy has a warm and welcoming glow about her and it makes you want to be her instant best friend. I would recommend for ANYONE and EVERYONE to try Reiki, especially with Cyndy. You will never regret it. It is an experience of a lifetime."

"I have been having sleepless nights for many months, waking at 2:00am to obsess over the stress of my day...finally falling into a fitful doze. In the morning my fists would sometimes be clenched so tightly that the imprint of my nails were left on the palms of my hands. Always interested in eastern arts and alternative therapy, I was curious about Reiki and decided to give it a try. The day of my first session I was a little apprehensive, but that went away quickly when I began lying on the Reiki table, listening to soft music, and enjoying the novelty of an hour where I gave myself 'permission' to release my thoughts and do nothing. When the session ended, I felt amost buoyant. I wondered if I would get light headed and have trouble driving home, but no, I was alert and very contented. The peaceful feeling lasted for four or five days after the session, and I immediately began to sleep better.
My second session, two weeks later, was a different experience entirely. I'd been under a great deal of stress at work and had a bad week of pre-menopausal symptoms. I was not able to 'let go' enough to reach the same state of calmness as before, but that was all right. Whereas the energy flow in the first session seemed directed towards the physical side of my stress, my second session was somehow more psychological and spiritual. Cyndy was very attuned to my feelings and spent a good amount of time debriefing this session. We talked about not shouldering responsibility for burdens that were not mine to carry, leaving work stresses behind at the end of the day, and even ways to make my work space more engaging.
The third and final session was wonderful. I relaxed right away. The warmth from Cyndy's hands (even though they were not directly touching me) felt like the sun. I imagined myself lying on a tropical beach with sapphire waters and beautiful birds in the trees. The birds sang and flashed their bright plumage -- red, yellow, orange, green -- the colors of the chakras.
That was seven weeks ago and I'm still experiencing the benefits. My sleep patterns have improved. I am more dedicated to my daily yoga routine and better able to cope with the unexpected at work. Friends and family have commented that I seem more relaxed. I feel more content and creative** too and want to keep nurturing this change in me."
**From my Reiki journal, a poem I patterned after a Japanese tanka:
morning after
the reiki session
how to hold this peacefulness?
fragile white violets
gleam in the sunlight

You will be happy to know my shoulder is doing well and is back to normal without even using the memory foam pad my doctor recommended for my bed (we couldn't get used to it)."

"Prior to my session I was on the edge of going into another depression. In the days after my session, the peacefulness stayed with me for a week and I walked away with a strengthened sense of myself."
"I really enjoyed the sessions I had. In my stressful life it was wonderful to have an hour or so of such relaxation that lasted for several days after. Also, you are such a nice person it is a pleasure just to be around you!"

"I wanted you to know how much good I received from my Reiki treatment. For years now I've had no feeling in my feet or toes. They are swollen and the toes feel like they are tightly wrapped. When you got down to my feet, all of a sudden I felt a ray of warm air in the bottom of my right foot and it traveled through the foot. What a wonderful sensation! I am looking forward to my next treatment and the good that will come from it. I also feel so relaxed and not uptight as I usually do. Thank you so much."________________________________________________________________________

"Coming to the Center for Reiki Wellness is always something I look forward to. No matter how rushed or distracted I might have been when I arrived at the Center, Cyndy was able to slow me down and help me focus on what I was looking to gain from the session. Her questions always indicated how closely she had listened to my concerns and when she had continued to address those concerns in the intervening times between our sessions.
The sessions themselves were relaxing to the point that I occasionally fell asleep. I always left feeling lighter and with a new soul quiet. Over the course of the sessions that I've had in the last few months, I needed to make a decision that had been hanging over my head for a year. All that time I had been waiting for God to reveal His will for my life. Slowly the difficult decision that I needed to make was revealed to me. This decision was based on scripture study, prayer, worship, and discussions with many faithful Christian friends. I believe that the Reiki sessions enabled me to be an open receptacle to the discovery of God's plan for me."
"My diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis occurred over 10 years ago. The type of MS I have is characterized as relapsing/remitting. My symptoms range from nerve pain, severe numbness and tingling in my whole body, cognitive issues, and extreme fatigue. Also along with these symptoms I experience depression and anxiety.
I heard of Reiki in my search for alternative remedies. I had an introductory session of 'chair Reiki' and was impressed by some immediate relief of pain in my arms and hands. I found the Center for Reiki Wellness through a search on the internet and decided to try some full Reiki sessions.
I find these sessions to be relaxing and helpful with many of my symptoms, particularly pain and tingling/numbness. I have also felt relief from my severe fatigue. Reiki I believe allows your body to relax and allows your natural connectiveness to the Universal Energy more opportunity to heal itself naturally.
My primary care physician was very supportive when I told her about Reiki. Since Reiki is about energy within the body and neurological problems, like MS, have a large component related to our bodies' energy field, she felt it was a good fit.
Cyndy Paxton is a very compassionate and expert Reiki practitioner and I highly recommend her practice to anyone with similar symptoms as related to MS."
I have lived my entire life with back pain. I was born with Scoliosis, and until age 11, the curve in my spine was severe. It did straighten itself out enough that my doctor felt surgery was not an option, but there wasn't anything else he could do to relieve my pain. I suffered with the discomfort and pain, which only seemed to worsen as I got older. All that has now changed.
I came to Cyndy because I had been experiencing an extreme lack of focus, and I needed to de-stress. I left her office feeling remarkably relaxed and somehow, lighter. It was a pleasant experience and I was looking forward to the next session. I hadn't even thought that healing my back pain would be possible. However, upon waking the next morning, my back pain was gone. 35 years of annoying aches and twinges and stiffness: Gone.
That was two months ago, and I am still free of my once every day pain. Since my first visit, I have also been relieved of my frequent headaches, and I have made amazing strides in clearing the fog from my mind. I am getting far more accomplished these days.
Cyndy has been wonderfully compassionate, and a marvelous cheerleader throughout this process. I highly recommend giving Reiki, and Cyndy, a try.
