I became interested in energy healing when my 3 year old son ended up in an emergency room with an auto-immune health condition called “nephrotic syndrome”. His kidneys stopped working, he couldn’t urinate, and for a week he was getting bloated by the accumulation of fluids that were supposed to be eliminated by the kidneys through urine.
The best nephrologist of a prestigious children’s hospital, who was also from an also prestigious university, said: “he will get over this condition when he becomes a teenager and his kidneys are grown enough to be able to withstand the immune system attacks”. We didn’t want to wait 10 or 15 years for our son to get well!
After six months, my wife and I decided to take the alternative route. We found an homeopathic doctor in India who specialized in children with nephrotic syndrome. He sent us the name of homeopathic remedies by email and never charged us a penny, even when we insisted! Homeopathy is a natural healing modality that works at an energetic level.
We also found at the same time another form of energy healing – an energetic clearing technique that can be received remotely or in distance sessions. It’s called The Quick Pulse, developed and taught by Jo Dunning.
This powerful combination of Homeopathy and The Pulse energetic work clearing technique (clears energetic blockages that sometimes are manifested as physical, mental, emotional or spiritual health conditions) saved our son! He was free of the harmful side effects of steroids the conventional doctors forced us to use on him for over six months!
I studied Reiki with Alberto Amura, a Reiki master from the Usui Shiki Ryoho line. Alberto is also the founder of Light Tide Services and lives in Brazil. He travels to teach and practice Reiki around the world, particularly in Switzerland, Germany, other European countries, and Brazil and Argentina in South America.
I’m also a Holy Fire Karuna Reiki Master, certified by the International Center for Reiki Training and led by its President William Lee Rand.
I realized that by the time I completed my Reiki training and became a Reiki Master, I had about 25 years of training waking up, moving, and energizing my energy centers (main chakras along the spine and everywhere else in my body). This is the reason why learning and practicing Reiki was so easy and natural for me. And also why my first clients had great results and experiences from the beginning. A blessing in disguise!
I decided to start practicing Reiki formally, not just as a hobby, encouraged by the wonderful reports of my clients and friends after they enjoyed my Reiki sessions. I enjoy the sessions as much as they do!!!
When people ask me to explain “what is Reiki“, the best explanation I have is: “come for a session and you will know by yourself!“. The main reason why this is my best description of what is Reiki is because everyone has a different experience and every time the energy work experience feels different too.
A little bit more about me…
We Reiki practitioners are just a clear channel or conduits and instruments for “The Energy” to pass through us to the client. The less emotionally involve we (the Reiki practitioners) are, the better “The Energy” flows. Although it requires proper training, anybody can learn Reiki and use it with practice.
I also give Reiki sessions to autistic children at King Sound Voice and Movement. This is an incredible place where the therapists put all their heart and love into the children’s training! It’s noticeable how well they respond to “The Reiki Energy”. It’s beautiful for me to see and feel how well they feel after a Reiki session and the connection we make!
My first Reiki session experience with an autistic child was just 15 minutes, which is usually enough and recommended to start with just 15 minutes of energy healing. Our second session was close to 20 minutes, which was a big surprise for me due to the uncontrollable movements of his body during the first session. Our third session went to almost 30 minutes because he went into the energetic-conscious sleep state of deep energetic relaxation that most people get into. It’s like a deep meditation state – you are conscious and your body is so relaxed that it feels numb or “sleeping”.
I also practice at the Comprehensive Pain Relief Group in Torrance, treating patients who have severe pain that usually do not respond to medications any longer. They love my Reiki sessions because they experience relief of their pain in just the first session. Reiki has been used extensively for pain management. (See my “Reiki and Pain Management“ page).
This energetic-conscious sleep state of deep energetic relaxation is just one of the various signs that the Reiki hands-on energy healing is in progress and the client is getting deep benefits from it. This relaxing state is usually called “sleep” state – you are conscious, very relaxed, aware of your surroundings and you don’t want to get “out” of that very-pleasant state! Sometimes clients fall into deeper states of relaxation and even have “dream-like” experiences that are very vivid and meaningful, in most cases.
I practice a clearing technique called The Quick Pulse, developed and taught by Jo Dunning. It is a form of energy healing that does not require for the client to lay on a massage table like in Reiki. It’s not a hands-on energy healing technique, but it works in a similar way with “The Energy” that Reiki and its intent is to remove energetic blockages (things you don’t want or like in your life, things you want to change/clear energetically and emotionally, like a broken heart, emotional stress, work stress, relationships stress and problems, and similar situations). I found this energy clearing technique very effective on clearing emotional blockages.
I also practice Reiki on animals, cats, dogs and horses. Animals respond very well and quickly to Reiki energy healing.
I live and practice Reiki in Torrance (Los Angeles), California. I’m an electronics engineer by formal training and digital marketing, video marketing, and Internet marketing specialist who loves placing websites, blogs, and YouTube videos on the first page of Google! I also love the outdoors, camping, hiking, biking, running, exercising at the park and Manhattan Beach shores, and shooting pictures/videos.
If you are not from the Los Angeles area, you still can enjoy the benefits of a Distance Reiki Session!
