“I became curious about Reiki from a radio talk show in May this year, and later after knowing a little bit more from the Orchard Library talk by Reiki Master Agnes Lau, I enrolled for the Level 1 course in June.

In my late fifties and having just retired from an executive post, I have been a heavy smoker for many years, which badly affected my health. Occasionally I’ve tried giving up, without success. Immediately after the Level 1 hands on practice, I could feel the energy flowing through my palms, sometimes discharging warmth, but at most other times, breathing out wind, like a fan. When the palms are placed at the root and 2^nd chakras, the breathing became more pronounced (two sides of the nose breathing instead of only one usually) and the feet perspire like having done a light tai chi exercise.

Above all, Reiki motivated me strongly, by enabling me to identify smoking as adding harmful negative energy to the body. Even my wife was surprised that so many years of strong habit could be stopped so suddenly, without effort, when previous attempts failed. My health is now improving and I am looking forward to more healing for myself and others, through Level 2.

I offer my sincere gratitude to the Almighty from whom we draw the universal healing energy, and my Reiki Master Agnes Lau.”
