How Did I Become Reiki A Practitioner?
Like many others, my Reiki Journey is an unfolding life experience.
Reiki came to me in search for a name that I can call the kind of healing that
I do. At first, I thought that I will just use Reiki to name my healing
practice. I thought I knew everything in healing before I studied it. But NO -
Reiki is more than a name. Reiki is a gift that surprises me every day. It
expanded and developed my own way of healing into a higher level of service.
My Own Healing Before Reiki
My early exposure to meditation, faith-healing and paranormal
phenomenon led me to hands-on healing at the age of 12 when my mother was
diagnosed with breast cancer. To ease her pain, she would ask me to lay my
hands on her chest and stomach. She believed that I was gifted and would be a
healer as told by many faith-healers and psychics that she consulted.
As a child, I remember being
told that dwarfs and fairies were fond of me. Each of the “albolaryo” (faith or
folk healers) that my mother met said that they would train me when I grow up.
Only one did. He was the father of my Godmother, and he gave me a few lessons
before he died when I was 8 years old.
Since then, I just knew I could heal.
I was a voracious reader. At 12, I had read the four volumes of medical
encyclopedia, world history, spiritual writings, Bible-New Testament, Lives of
Saints, and many psychic books. All these made me a dreamer. I dreamed of
Jesus, Mary and different saints. I dreamed of past and future events.
I started to come out as a healer and psychic in 1998. Attending the
seminars of Jimmy Licauco (where we all started) made me feel comfortable to
accept the gifts in public. Yehey! But
my dilemma was I did not want to be called a faith-healer nor an albolaryo. So,
I prayed to God to give me the name and God introduced me to - RIEKI.
Opening the Path to Reiki
I came across the name Reiki when one of the members of my ECOFEMINISM
yahoo group said that she was a Reiki Practitioner. Curious about Reiki, I
searched for the meaning of Reiki and EUREKA
– it fitted my own way of healing. I prayed to God and asked that I might be a
given a teacher of Reiki who would teach me at an affordable cost.
In 2004, I studied Reiki First Degree under Master Jo Bilasano through
the scholarship of former Senator Jamby Madrigal. (Thank you, Senator! I wish I
can give something back to you.)
Reiki had taught me humility. I thought I knew everything since I was
already healing through my hands. I thought I didn’t need a teacher since I
connect directly to God. The truth is that a human teacher is our Guide, and as
a human, we all hunger for more lessons on healing.
Wanting for more learning, I attained my Reiki Second Degree in 2005
from two schools – still with AWHAI under Master Jo Bilasano and Tripitaka
Healing Centre with Master Ghie and Margie Santos.

Guided To Be A Teacher
My heart was screaming in 2006; I wanted to be a Reiki-Teacher. Again,
I prayed to God that I may be given a Reiki Teacher who would see that I have a
gift to teach at an affordable cost to me.
As always, God answered. In November 2006, I met a couple who asked me
to visit their home for healing. After the healing session, they asked me about
my level of Reiki practice and if I wanted to be a Reiki Teacher. Seeing my
passion for healing, the couple offered to attune me to be at the Reiki Master
Level. I felt so high in the Spirit of
God. I felt I was on the right path.
In January, 2007, I was attuned to be a Reiki Teacher by Masters Ghie
and Malou Cordero – both independent Reiki Teachers who had just come home to
the country from London. Since then, my life has indeed become a spiritual work
and full of healing. It has become a process of knowing more about life and my
nature as a creation of God.
Cosmic Healing
Since, 2007 I have been fulltime in healing and teaching Reiki, and
offering psychic and spiritual courses. This is my unfolding path, my path to
self and life discovery. This discovery unfolds as I go into this world of
service.
2009 Reiki in Davao
Reiki led me to take my healing into what I call now my Cosmic Work which is expressed through
Reiki, Earth-Healing, and Angel Light work.
The people that I meet in the path are all my teachers. My own family
is my solid foundation on Earth to be able to be of service.
Thanks be to God for life and Creation!
