She began studying Reiki in 1993 and has studied with several ICRT teachers along with several Japanese Reiki Masters; Hiroshi Doi, Hyakuten Inamoto, and Mrs. Chiyoko Yamaguchi. In addition to her Reiki practice, she is licensed as a Professional Counselor, Marriage, and Family Therapist, and was on the Spiritual Counseling Staff of Unity Church of Overland Park, Kansas for 22 years. Karen’s mission as a Reiki practitioner is to empower others to heal on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. Here is some of Karen’s Reiki story:
Before Reiki, I was often sick and frequently had surgeries. Learning and practicing Reiki has continuously improved my health so that I am in the best health of my life! Giving myself Reiki daily inspired me to eat healthier and exercise regularly. I usually exercise 5 days a week now and drink green smoothies daily. Reiki has changed and improved my life in many wonderful ways! I began studying Reiki with my younger sister in 1993. From there I went on to study Reiki II with her Reiki Master in 1995 and then took Reiki Master with Laurelle Shanti Gaia of the ICRT in 1998. I was very impressed with the training provided by the ICRT, so I went on to Karuna Reiki® Master and then repeated Reiki I and II through the ICRT. Since then, I have repeated all my classes several times, studying with William Rand, Beth Stapor, Laurelle Shanti Gaia, Michael Baird, and Colleen Benelli. When I met the ICRT teachers at my first Reiki Retreat in 1999, I decided that I wanted to be a part of the organization and began my requirements to become a Licensed Reiki Master Teacher. The ICRT teachers felt like my soul family.
Reiki has helped me with my spiritual life in many ways. It is easier to meditate and quiet my mind with Reiki and together they are a wonderful combination. Over the years, Reiki has developed in me the ability to hear my guidance and to sometimes see and hear what the energy is doing. It is very exciting to share this skill with my clients! I have seen client and student miracles that are awe inspiring! Reiki has been a lifesaver in parenting over the years, from infancy through young adulthood. When my daughter was a baby and child, I could always put her to sleep within 10 minutes by giving her Reiki. That was a very handy skill to have!
If you have life challenges, Reiki is such a necessity! Reiki has helped me through some very major life challenges without the need for antidepressant medication and with the ability to continue my work. In fact, my Reiki practice grew immensely through a period of ten difficult years. Reiki also helped those ten years to be some of the best years of my life. I love teaching Reiki and feel like I am passing on a ball of loving light and energy that my students can then use to help themselves, their pets, their plants, their family, their friends, and the world! Many of my students have gone on to teach others. I have been abundantly blessed by following my path with Reiki and growing closer to God. My life has become more rewarding, peaceful, and fun. I have made many new friends through teaching Reiki, and I enjoy traveling to teach. I love giving Reiki sessions and teaching Reiki and can’t wait to share them with you!
With Abundant Reiki Blessings, Karen Harrison.
