“My Reiki journey started with a physical ailment which allopathy doctors could not cure. My friend who had learnt Reiki suggested that she would give me Reiki and heal me. As there was no other choice left I started taking Reiki from her. I could feel a difference in emotions as well as sleep better and be at peace in the first seven days. Due to emotional healing, my physical healing took place . So out of curiosity I did Reiki level one and two with Dr Shamal Durve . I found lot of changes which cannot be explained but can only be experienced. I did my masters later as I wanted to teach Reiki and also be a part of the healing programmes. Healing is a way of completing with everyone, people, city, countries and the universe.”

“My Reiki journey started when I did Reiki first degree in February 1998. I realized for the first time the existence of a realm of energy to which I can connect and charge myself. This realization made me do second degree in the month of May 1998 as I wanted to explore this phenomenon further. In the second degree, I got to know of Dr. Usui’s system of natural healing. This whole system was waiting for me with all the blessings to sharpen my healing capacities through the symbols and the mantras. After the second degree, I started experiencing expansion and my reach was far beyond anything that I could have ever imagined. This experience further kindled my curiosity which prompted me to venture further. I felt blessed when I was selected for the third degree seminar by my Reiki Master. The seminar happened in October 1999 at the Reiki Jagat Ashram at Badlapur. This was immediately followed by our Reiki Master’s training in which I was one of the fourteen trainees. The training lasted for three years and in the year 2002 we were declared as Masters and the whole focus started shifting from the external to the internal. As the knowledge sunk in that the whole existence, every person, every situation, everything in my life is just a mirror image of who I am at a particular point of time. These repeated, multiple and diverse opportunities that I get about me meeting with myself have opened up a choice for me. This choice is very simple – whether I want to remain where I am, or whether I choose learning and growth and thereby completion. This window of possibility, I cherish very much in this journey. There is nowhere to reach, just the journey and the revelations that keep happening. The journey is on – meeting myself, knowing myself and training myself.I thank the purpose, I thank my trainers and I thank the group.”

“Namaste!
From the first day of Reiki level one in 2010 till date this journey of learning, of knowing the unknown, of confronting with self, accepting the self and others as is, being in okness has been indeed a continuous, interesting and full of unique experiences. this journey has been taking me towards meeting and knowing my own self… I’ve been lucky indeed. Shamalji’s regular sessions, seminars made it possible for us to stay connected with mother energy. Reiki became a very strong ladder of moving ahead on this spiritual path and a platform to go deep within and recognizing and knowing my OWN REAL SELF. I always used to wonder that by being in sansarik life how can one experience spiritual growth. With Reiki support in our life now I not only realized but also learnt that we can not only grow spiritually but can also go through our sansarik life gracefully with strength and wisdom. Feel truly blessed to be a part of Reiki India Research Centre and be under guidance and constant training of Shamalji. I am very thankful to all my Masters and teachers, entire lineage of Dr Usui System and especially our GURU Dr. Shamal Durve for embracing us in her life.”

“My tryst with Reiki began in 2007. I was a skeptic and was just checking out Reiki. I bombarded my Reiki I trainer with a lot of questions. The experience of taking Reiki was very fulfilling. Some ailments also healed on their own. Hence the journey ontinued.Today after so many years, I sense that this is a unique flow of energy. One has to experience it, since words may not be able to capture the true essence of this experience. If one has to learn swimming, one has to jump into the pool and experience it. While the flow of energy and grace continues, life keeps on blossoming.”

— Nilanjana Dey

“My Reiki journey started in the year 1994. My wife Uma introduced me to ‘Reiki’. I did not know anything about Reiki and was hearing about it for the first time. When Uma mentioned the word Reiki, my journey into the unknown started and till today it remains unknown.Healing experiences of the journey: At the physical level, ease; Mental level, peace and at Relationship level an experience of wholeness…..every relationship falling into place to complete my life for me…….total acceptance of people situations and events of my life.”

— Ramchandran

“I attended Reiki II seminar taken by Shamalji in 1995. Subsequently my training started.Journey has been wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for more. Of my many experiences, jere are a few areas where Reiki and Master’s Training helped me to learn.”

“I learnt Reiki level 1 and level 2 in the year 1996, level 3 in 1998 and became a Reiki Master in the year 2002 after Masters’ Training. My eldest sister Anjali Manekar did Reiki with India’s first Reiki Master Dr. Shamal Durve and she told me about it. I am grateful to my dear sister from the bottom of my heart for introducing me to this path. The experience of Reiki (Universal Life Force Energy) has always been serene. The only thing is- its outer appearance and the apparent feel kept on changing. Initially, the experience was soothing, pleasant and giving the feel of floating. Then as the time progressed and the journey continued, gradually the tests started and it became tough and the intensity of it kept on increasing. Lots of churning happened. But my beloved Trainer Shamalji’s training and guidance, support of the family and the group and the Grace of the Guru kept me walking on the path.Now, after one and a half decade, the experience of learning, practicing it in the day to day life, appropriateness, healing with love, trust and gratitude and being in the flow has slowly and steadily started blossoming from within. I feel blessed to be on this path.”

— Varsha Kiron Pande

“I am amazed at the depth of purification underwent. I got clarity about attunement. I am now beginning to have a clearer and deeper understanding of Reiki. The training has just started. I experienced for the first time the inexplicable beauty of Silence. I have started celebrating Silence. I enjoyed all the Meditations. I see clearly I have chosen the right path for completing my Life. I feel blessed.”

— Deepa K Rajan

“Through out the training I was full of excitement eagerness and awareness. I connected to my trainers as they brought back my fond memories of my Father and Grand father taking me by my hand and guiding me lovingly. Attunement process was for me a training for being in the awareness and being in the present moment. Initial reservations and nervousness got resolved as I practised attunement. The sessions in the training dissolved my emotional blocks enabling me to accept me as I am and others as they are. I have an immensely free light and pleased mind in my body today.I feel myself a transformed being with a cleansed mind and pure intellect free of all the burdens of past and emotions. I feel elevated confident and calm My love for my Wife and my Son has multiplied.. Nature is my Mother. Feeling grateful and expressing thanks has become my Life.A beautiful new world awaits me as tears roll down my cheeks and a Smile blooms on my face.”

— Hari Menon

“The final phase of Reiki Masters training started with a Meditation. During Meditation I felt my body becoming lighter and weightless. The dirt dust and clutter in my mind got dissolved. Felt an inner freedom. The body mind and the Energy got attuned to each other. I was eager to learn the Attunement Process.The initial tension about the various steps and stages gave way to a great experience. I feel grateful for the clarity about my role as Reiki Master. The lamp of Knowledge has been lit. I shall light up everywhere with this lamp.”

— K C Gopinathan

“I got the clarity ....being a Reiki Master means evolving into good human being and play the role for which a human being is created for. Selecting higher consciousness means being rooted in our Higher Self. In this domain I have an access to the Energy field to purify myself and heal the world in total clarity and awareness. All the answers I am seeking is here.”

— Pradeep Philip

“I could be a real Human Being.....This is what I felt at the end of the Training. The Sessions Blessed me with Peace and Happiness Now it is my turn to pass on these to more and more people waiting to experience Peace and Happiness. The Emotional stability I experienced is not an easy thing to get from anywhere else. I now offer this Energy to the plant kingdom also. To maintain the Ecological balance through the Trees and Plants.”

— Binby Avarachan

“I got the valuable insight..... Reiki paves the way for melting away the past karmas accumulated over many past births. The Training has boosted my Self Confidence. I can access collective Consciousness through my third eye and operate beyond my limitations. My Life is my selection.....all that has happened in the journey of my Life...favourable as well as unfavourable. I got a fresh information.. ... there is a lock in third eye Chakra...which... only the Master Symbol can unlock.”

— Chandran Kutty

“Sharing by Shri T S Sreedharan....... 82 years of Age..... The most active young assistant.....first to be up and last to go to bed. I consider this Reiki Mastership as my Lifetime achievement award. When there are lots of noise and turmoil outside I can now retire inwards into my silence. I can delve deep into Who I Am and relax there in my core. I bless that the Reiki Healers heal the confusions regarding Human Values in the outside world and make the Earth a better place to Live”

— T S Sreedharan

“My vision and Vision as Reiki Master ....purifying myself and Healing the World. I got the importance of being together in this healing work. As my Vision and I shall foster this as a Group Initiative. The training was very meaningful and to the point.”

— Muhammed Jashid

“The events and experiences of 3 days were unforgettable delicious and valuable. I was curious about the final phase of training particularly about Attunement process and knowledge transmission . Over three days with the support of Senior Masters I learnt the attunement. Although initially I had reservations and nervousness.”

— P K Nirmala

“Really I sat through the sessions with fear and anxiety. Will I be able to learn? Am I capable to be a Master? These issues tormented me . In due course I observed these issues had vanished on their own. Knowledge and Attunement took me to a realm which surpassed all misgivings. It became crystal clear that I need to continue the processes practices and follow ups with dedication and commitment. I resolved to pass on whatever I got for the good of maximum number of people.”

— V J Joseph

“Despite the Kerala Bandh 17 of us reached Rhythambara Hall in Synergy International Ashram to participate in the final phase of Masters Training. Each Meditation transported us to a space where there is nothing but experience of Energy. This space journey took us beyond the gravitational pull of the Earth. I felt extremely light at the body as well as mind level. The Silence practised took us deeper into ourselves.... an Oceanic vastness and depth. Every one as they shared it seemed like my own experience. I reached a different level of Energy after the Attunement practice and listening to knowledge. 17 lighted candles can now easily light up the farthest corners of this beautiful Cosmos.”

— Sumod K S

“I am a Senior citizen and am a senior Reiki student since 1998. My Masters are Vinayji, Shaileshji and Augustine Sir. Ever since Synergy International started Reiki healing sessions every Wednesday of the Week I am present in every healing session offering healing to whoever came. I observe that the reiki practice is working on my anger, intolerance and ego. I now get a glimpse of who I am. I am experiencing an all round progress in my Life. In one of her Kerala visits Shamalji asked me to join the ongoing batch of Reiki Master trainees. I agreed and joined. I started assisting Augustine Sir’s Seminars I got inspired to continue in the training because of crystal clear clarity I got from assisting. The final phase of training took me deeper through Knowledge and processes. Although the training was hectic there was no congestion of Knowledge I was in the flow of happenings feeling light with a floating feeling. Now I am ready with great confidence and optimis ”

“24 th January a Kerala Bandh was called. Training program was on. So me and 3 other trainee ladies reached there on 23 rd evening and lodged ourselves in a local Hotel ready for the training commencing on 24th. I got the following insights-Follow the Manual as it is. It is the Master’s energy and Voice. Follow the processes as you are trained and taught. Dont add anything . Don’t miss anything. The Energy washes our past and brings us to the present In the present we are in tune with the Energy the wholeness. The Attunement Process initially seemed complicated. I was confused and so doubtful of correct practice. After we practised duly guided, my confidence in myself and trust in the System was restored. Our work is beyond the logic or intellect. So we need to be a Nirbudha and keep our intellect and personality aside to do this healing work. The Attunement essentially channelises the body and mind to let the Energy and appropriateness to be downloaded for wherever healing is required. We can draw the Energy as we have the body and mind. I am ready now as a healer and a Master. I offer myself. ”

— Indira Gopinath

“Meditations relaxed me. As I relaxed within I could experience calm and quite atmosphere outside too. I experienced an expansion and that I am basically Energy at the core of my existence. Every attunement is real . There is nothing like a mock attunement. This truth made me feel responsible as regards the need to practice only under supervision of my Trainer. The Energy exchange balancing in my Life happens whenever I practice White Light Meditation. This clarity motivated me for regular practise of White light Meditation. I had many new experiences not experienced before as I practised certain Breathing processes taught to me in the Course . I felt fresh happy and free of stress and strain. I got clarity about the Symbols and Attunement process. I understood the role of Master Symbol.... opening of third eye Chakra lock and deeper purification of even past Lives. ”

— Mini Bahuleyan

“The Masters Training was an unforgettable and wonderful unique experience. Particularly the Attunement process both receiving and offering . During the white light meditation I experienced an intense flow of Energy flow within which healed my uneasiness and my inner scars. The Choice opens up in our Life after attunement. Otherwise we are in no choice situation.This knowledge was new to me. The Centering Meditation and the Centering process, features of Reiki, Reiki to Country gave me glimpse of higher consciousness experientially. The power of Intention, distinction between Intention and Desire,Access to collective consciousness through third eye chakra all these aspects of Energy became clear to me. Although Sessions got extended the trainees continued to participate with same intensity as the Sessions were very interesting. I got the following clarity - Symbols are drawn in the present moment and not visualised as visualisation comes from the past. We are the Source. We are all interdependent and networked. I got inspired to be in our work of healing.....a very unique ability possessed by a Human being...Healing Self and others. I got healed of fear and negative thoughts. My mind could focus and be in the present moment I feel blessed and grateful. ”

— Muralidharan

“I had guilty feelings within when things went wrong in my Life. I had lot of Questions . I used to ask for the answers The answers given never satisfied me. I could get in touch with Myself and my true nature during the two and a half days of my Masters Training. The Energy has been guiding me through the Life experiences to connect to appropriateness . I feel grateful to the Energy and appropriateness. Hidden within all the difficult Life situations and unresolved Life problems was my Guru guiding me lovingly. I surrender to my training . I can experience unconditional Love as my past is healed.. My son who I thought was disabled I now experience as my Guru. He is now healed totally and continues to be my teacher. The most beautiful experience was what I had during Bharath Healing Meditation. National Anthem was playing in the background. My tears were flowing. I saw a number of famous and unknown people. I felt grateful to each and every one. As I was closing the Healing I felt like an LKG student performing on the stage. Mother India Mother Earth and the Whole Universe was blessing me the baby. A number of Gurus known and unknown Energy bodies, Gurudev all were blessing me. Although I kept my eyes closed I did not sleep in any session. I could listen intensely and absorb and imbibe maximum learning. For the first time me and my children were separated day and night. ....me at Ettumanoor and children at Kochi. However all the 3 children were alone and peaceful at home. I was calm and undisturbed at the Training. I had requested all trainees and Masters for Reiki support. I am happy I could reach out to Ettumanoor for completing the final phase of training inspite of the Kerala Bandh. I stayed in a local Hotel and made it a residential training for me. Everything about Reiki in my Life is unplanned. I am now here.at this point as a Reiki Master. ”

— Bindu Bijimon

“Three most wonderful days of my Life. That is what I experienced when I was in the final phase of training at Synergy International Ettumanoor. As a preparation for this training I dropped my age from 45 years to 15 years to be a School student eager to learn something very new. We experienced a state of Happiness. This experience got further enhanced in the meditations, Knowledge and attunement and other processes we practiced. Clarity and insights on What is Reiki, the Symbols, the attunement processes appropriateness and Energy Exchange has equipped us to play our role effectively. The whole Masters Training is about training ourselves about how to make our Personality to step beside so that the Master’s Energy of appropriateness can operate through our mind and body to heal everything within us and all around us. Shamalji’s warning not to expect a red carpet type of ambience and be prepared for the tough Life as a Master was conveyed clearly to us and we are committed accordingly. ”

“When Reiki entered my life, I was completely ignorant about it. I did not know anything about it. Today also, I am seeking the answer but one thing is sure that it changed my life completely. I learnt REIKI 1 with a childlike curiosity. I did not know what was happening but people and the surrounding were giving me a positive feedback about subtle changes in me. Something was changing beyond my logic and understanding. But I was just enjoying the ride; car was in auto gear. Till this time, I knew the meaning of the word ‘Energy’ in a limited context. After Reiki 2, the new dimensions started unfolding. I experienced that it’s not a magic show as it appeared after Reiki 1. There is a definite science of intentional force behind things manifesting in our lives. It is a power of intention that channelizes energy and it is to be used with responsibly. In the notes, it was mentioned that REIKI is ‘energy’. But Masters Training made the experience of ‘truth’ available which was ‘everything is nothing but just energy’! The biggest realization was that till we change our perspective towards ourselves, this energy will not channelize appropriately. The vicious circle of emotions will keep repeating. This brought awareness at a mind level, at the level of intellect. And a habit of observing developed. All this was possible only because of fine tuning that happened after Reiki. This was not a coincidence. This was a journey of energy within me. It is now that I am slowing understanding that ‘healing’ is a transformation of energy, transformation of emotions through the transformation of our perspective. This was not easy. Many a times the mirror showed unpleasant face of my own. I resisted, denied, resigned…I did not know how to change the reflection. But this ‘seeing’ was also possible because of REIKI. Many a times I feel, I wouldn’t have known myself without Reiki. And I trust that as compassionately she has chosen me for this purification, with the same love, she will lead my way to the freedom. I will be ever grateful to her intention and my teachers and guides on this path. Making this energy, this experience of energy available to as many possible is the most beautiful energy exchange I can offer to them, and this planet. ”

“ I experienced reiki first time in my life when I had severe back pain in 1998. My collegue Sita gave me touch reiki for 10 -15 minutes and I felt very much refreshed and experienced lesser pain. She didn’t tell anything about reiki and asked me to do the reiki 1 seminar under a reiki master of Reiki India Research Centre , Kalwa. With lots of inquisitiveness and surprise I joined the course under Roopa who is a grand reiki master. It was a turning point in my life. Reiki has her own wisdom and I experienced reiki in a unique way. I became very positive and my attitude about life changed totally. I am a teacher by profession and school was my bread earner, nothing more than that. No sincerity, no committement and no love towards students. Within 21 days of reiki practice changed my life altogether. After 21 days I did 2nd degree reiki and then third degree. Head ache and back pain disappeared and I started assisting reiki seminars. There was an urge to spread this light . My great teacher and mentor kindly lifted me up and asked to join the reiki master’s training. Reiki became my breath and from 2nd degree reiki onwards I started healing people, events, relationships, institutions and above all my own country. The satisfaction you get from healing your own country is immense. My relationship with collegues and authorities of the school improved. It made me more meditative in nature and helped me to deepen meditation. Purifying myself and healing the world is my intention which I will continue till my last breath. With all my love and gratitude to reiki. Jai Hind.”

“My learning ... my experience..in reiki - March 1997 I was introduced to reiki - reason suffering from Asthma and piles at a time . All treatment was done but couldn’t get effective results . After reiki second level I was able to handle both my physical problems with combination of reiki and sudarshan kriya . Physically I was healthy and complete but deep inside there were unknown questions or thirst . Life was going on and the day came after my reki third level, my teacher invited me for Masters Training and slowly life started to change in different angle. I was a house wife with lots of attachments and expectations from people around me . Anger , frustrations , jealousy , fear of not being good , helplessness and the main thing dependence for money. While the training was going on Sadhna Tai introduced me to the institute Reiki India Research Centre and I was in Shamal Tai’s hands for further training . 1998 to 2002 a very long period of learning and experience. Totally unaware about my talents , low confidence , zero self respect and feeling of revenge inside all the time . Started attending training sessions and assisting at Badlapur Reiki Jagat - the most wonderful place on the planet Earth . More than sessions I learnt by being whole time with all the Best Trainers I had . Apart from sessions Tai used to work on me on various levels as one day she told me go and get admission for your graduation in SNDT college - I was shocked - I resisted a lot giving so many reasons but she got that admission form and put in front of me said चुपचाप कॉलेज मधे जा आणि एडमिशन घे (just go to the college and take admission). I was confused I am here for Reiki Master’s training but she is telling me to complete graduation. She is also assuring me that she will take the responsibility of teaching me. So with lots of resistance started learning without attending single lecture in college. I passed with distinction. I realized my capacity to learn , to work as a Reiki Therapist. I experienced financial independence. Another turning in my life was when I took admission for body massage course and life was wonderful. Different problems , different people - i had to keep innovating my communication capacities. Trust was created and developed in me as myself and the people started experiencing the wonderful results of energy . My artistic skills were brought out by Shamal tai when she asked me to draw warli painting in our meditation hall in Badlapur Asham. I completed my Post graduation in Marathi literature which included प्राचीन भारतीय संत साहित्य . I taught this subject for 8th ,9th and 10th students . This brought out the teaching skills in me. Thus Shamal tai brought out the various hidden talents in me. My group members in training helped me to deal with all the problems in my family, finances and relationships, with confidence and support. My husband’s business totally collapsed and just in one night we were on the road.My dad invited me home and supported me in this crisis. My daddy died shocking me very much. As the eldest child I took responsibility for the whole family. I moved away from my group and my trainer under these circumstances. My husband also passed away after battling cancer. My training in reiki, havan and jap helped me to tide over the crisis and come out stronger. I established my link once again withy trainer and my group. Now I am proud to be a simple human being with healing capacity. Great work , Great Training , Great Trainers, Great Groups. I am enjoying my life in the present. The past is dead and gone. Thanks.”

“MY journey with Reiki began in May 1996,when I took Reiki from Mrs.Sita Rao at Ameerpet,Hederabad. She was a student of Sh.P.D.Patel (Shamal ji,s Contemporary).I experienced reiki as a healing therapy from her about two days for my severe back pain due to slip disc.And I experienced a blissful feeling and was in total peace and harmony and fully energised. After two days she suggested to me that I should continue this work on myself by taking initiation into Reiki as I was suffering from chronic problem,and I had to return to Delhi soon.That sounded very good for me as I could take responsibility of self healing.Hence she arranged a Teacher /ReikiMaster Ms.Saroj Pandey,of West Marredipally,Hyderabad who initiated me,my son and my father on 27 th May 1996. I started practicing Reiki on myself and made available this therapy for others to heal themselves ,as was told by my teacher,from day one.And hence I realised that ,the more I helped others with this therapy,the faster I was healing myself too.In the process exactly by the end of three weeks,there was a drastic change in my health condition,inspite of lot of healing crises I had undergone,I could give up wearing Magnetic Belts too.I thought it to be a physical healing therapy but I started realising that I was becoming less irritated and more and more peaceful and happy.And hence my thurst for the higher level of knowledge with this therapy increased.In the meanwhile I found and advertisement for learning Reiki two levels in three consecutive days by N.K.Sharma,and went to them and took initiation for second level,but was not mentally satisfied the way he was conducting sessions.And my search for genuine teacher continued. Hence Sita Rao helped me with some numbers of some students of Shamalji (P.D”s batch mate).One such student was Guddi Didi. One fine day Guddi Didi called me to her place for a surprise .When I went there she introduced me to Ankush Bhalekar from Aurangabad,an Independent Reiki Master and was a Director of Reiki India,and also a Art of Living teacher too.After my meeting with him ,I invited him to our home,and after second meeting he agreed to train me to be a Reiki Master.He initiated into level one and two again. After two months ,he came to Delhi again and on 18 th Dec,1996 and took our family to meet Guruji at a Satsang near Connaught Place.And on 19 th Dec.1996 he initiated me to third level and gave me Master symbol. And asked me to practice now with master symbol always. In fact this master symbol was blessing for me by the Universe or the energy or God,to prepare me for a crises in our family .My younger brother who was working in Chennai ,met with a fatal accident,on 29 th May 1997,and doctors wanted to ampute his leg to save his life.Just before the surgery ,the last message he gave was for me to send reiki to save him. That message was enough for me ,and I started sending Reiki for the surgery and started healing him immediately.After three or four hours ,we experienced the first miracle in our life with this therapy called Reiki.I received a call from my father who reached to be with him from Hyderabad,He informed me that even the doctors were surprised by the fact that they could save his leg from AMPUTATION.This is how my faith and belief in this system got well established,so also my first love for this work too.And then my whole family took reiki initiation.And I took up my brother’s case for healing for about a year.He was advised many surgeries for bone grafting,skin grafting etc,etc,but he could avoid all of them due to Reiki healing.But one last surgery to put a rod in his leg from knee to ankle was successfully done,and my intention was to see him walking into my home on his own legs within a year got fulfilled.Today I can clearly say that every intention of your’s is supported by the universe in this system. In the meanwhile ,as per my training’s requirement I did Basic course of Art of living in March /April 1997 and went to Bangalore Ashram for advance course as advised by Ankush Dada in 1998,and there comes Shamaliji with her batch of about 250 reiki channels from Mumbai for advance course.There I saw Shamalji first time,and both she and Ankush Dada took me to Guruji for his permission for my Reiki Master’s training.Only upon his permission my further training would continue,and it was granted to me by guruji.I did one more advance course in Rishikesh too in 1999 November.While meeting guruji instead of asking any thing else from him,I only asked him to bless me to be Reiki Master. Here comes all of a sudden within a month,a call from Ankush Dada to join Shamalji for my final training to be a Reiki Master.Against all odds ,inspite of my reluctance,I join the batch of Shamalji’s students leaving Delhi to Badlapur Ashram for this training.From the momement I landed in our Ashram it was like “Jannat me Pahunch gaye ka” feeling.Every moment there and the whole ten days traing was a very different feeling and experience,and a memorable one.She and her team of masters who were training us were very strict and yet so loving and caring ,making us experience motherly love and care every moment.She was strict and tough master,and yet a caring mother to us. Here I realised that,Reiki is not just a healing therapy but a purification process and a path that would lead me to my ultimate goal of life to experience oneness with the “higher consciousness”,and Heal myself and make healing available to the whole world. From this master’s space my next lap of journey begins.We were blessed by a Guruji of Shakti peeth of Thane,who declared us to be Masters on 31 st December mid night.And we are Reiki Masters from 1 st January 2000. Here begins the next journey of my life,and with this blessing comes various challenges to be handled by me and learn to grow from there.Tests at various levels started showing up ie; my own relationship with myself was the biggest challenge for me,and in my relationships with my siblings and also challenges in my husband’s physical health etc started showing up.As far as health issues are concerned I could put in my commitment and heal my husband with this technique,out of Seizures/Epilepsy, he developed in February 2000.He was healed within 90 days and even doctors were surprised with the results achieved in such a short period of treatment.Medical treatment was supplemented by Reiki healing,and hence we got the desired results with pure intentions,which was my realisation after his healing. From there onwards,every seminar I took was a learning,and was for my self healing till date.And we continued going to Badlapur Ashram every year for different trainings and intensives,which made us strong by being with our Master and trainer,who protects us always,even today.As she named our organisation Reiki India Research centre,she continuously is doing reseach with this work,and keeps giving us timely knowledge that supports us to understand life as it comes. One such knowledge that she gave us was the BTS,Be The Source,for me this was a biggest and ultimate knowledge to understand what is my life,and what is my learning about it,and where am I going,and who all are my support system which I chose for this life and its karmic completion.With the development of mankind and technological development,we are now blessed with her support in the form of various courses she gives us thru what’s app audios.Hence she has been a big support for our masters,who keep getting into struggles of life.Only knowledge and practice with reiki is making our life better,inspite of our struggles.Even I have gone through so many ups and down in life,through various struggles in relationships etc,Only my practice along with Shamaliji’s support I could heal myself and my relationship issues to a large extent.Today I experience oneness with this whole universe,and experience only love from every body and every living thing around me. I could never have accepted a guru in my life.Guruji’s grace I am able to experience in life only due to Ankush dada and Shamalji. She coming from Landmark Forum background,blessed us with this knowledge too.Made us undergo these courses as she could understand from where my patterns and concepts and behaviour are coming .Where I need to work and how I need to look at myself,to handle myself and negative behaviour or to consciously change my patterns and drop my concepts. Today my realisation is that had it not been,Ankush dada,Guruji,and Shamalji,and her knowledge sessions to work on myself,and look into myself,I would still be in my own saddened world which was my Mind’s drama,always would have been in my Hara,and in Solar plexus with “I am not good enough”.It is purely her BTS knowledge,and other intensive work she makes us go through, from time to time ,with all the passion and commitment she has for us,that I have reached this stage,where I wanted to experience oneness with the ENERGY OR UNIVERSE,AND HEAL MYSELF AND MAKE THE HEALING AVAILABLE TO THE WHOLE WORLD AND REMAIN IN MY HEART CHAKRA ALWAYS,COME WHAT MAY.

“After experiencing bad health for almost three decades, during which I tried all the Systems---Allopathic, Homeopathic, Ayurveda, Sidhh, Unani, Tibbati etc; and my frustration level at the peak( I had all the comforts of life---(good job, beautiful family and caring parents) except health, one of my friends (Thanks a lot, Subhash) said “TUM SAB KUCHH KAR CHUKE HO, EK BAAR REIKI BHI TRY KAR LO” I asked him “ YEH REIKI KYA HAI” He said “Healing through Energy” I could not understand anything but MARTA KYA NA KARTA KI STITHI MEIN I went to attend Reiki 1 Seminar in Apr 1996 conducted by Shri Puran Dua in a Farm House in Chhatarpur, Delhi. After those two days, one thing happened. My urge to have tea vanished and I didn’t touch tea for next two years. There was no visible change in my health and I didn’t have any experience of Energy. I felt it very boring to keep my hands on 26 different parts of the body for three minutes each and I didn’t want to do my Reiki Practice. But every day, while the mind used to say NO to Reiki Practice, some Force used to get my Reiki Practice completed. It was a unique experience. MAN KEH RAHA HAI KI PRACTICE NAHI KARNI PARANTU HATH APNE AAP 26 BINDUON PAR CHAL RAHE HAIN. After some time, I got information that Pradeepji is coming to Delhi for taking Reiki 2 Seminar. Although not interested, but Archana, a volunteer and Reiki Master, convinced me and I went for attending Reiki 2 Seminar in June 1996. After the Seminar, Pradeepji told me to go for attending Art of Living Course. In this way Gurudev entered my life. (Thanks Pradeepji). I got Symbols and Mantras. Still no experience. But now I started feeling strength from within. I experienced that my three decades long weakness within is slowly decreasing. Same thing continued. I didn’t want tp practice Reiki but some force was getting it done from me. Eight months passed, Archana told me to be ready for Reiki 3rd Level. I told her “EK SAAL BAAD HI SECOND DEGREE HOGI NA, ABHI TOH 8 MAHEENE HI HUE HAIN “ She said “I think you are ready. I will ask Pradeepji”. After some days she informed me that Pradeepji has said that you can do it now. Again, due to Archana’s insistence I went for 3rd Degree in Feb 1997. (Thanks Archana). When I sat on the Attunement Chair, Pradeepji said “ ANIL JI, KUCHH BHI HO SAKTA HAI, EK BAAR PHIR SOCH LEIN “. I replied “ AB TOH MAIN CHAIR PAR BAITH GAYA HUN, AAP ATTUNE KIJIYE “. After Seminar was over. Within an hour of reaching home, I started having vomits and loose motions. Somehow, night passed. IN the morning I was admitted to a Hospital. 30-40 motions/vomits every day. All tests normal. Doctors did not understand what is happening to me. They were worried. I was continuously on drip. No oral food was going in. But I was not feeling weakness at all. When visiting Doctor used to come, with a saddened face, I used to console him “ DOCTOR SAHIB AAP GHABRAIYE NAHI“. Funny sight. After about 10 days I started improving and was discharged on 21st day of my 3rd Degree Attunement. This is still a Mystery for me. Then the magic happened. As if all the doors have been opened, I started having beautiful experiences. My health started improving and in 2-3 months, health wise I became more or less normal. Then I was selected for Reiki Masters training and I was declared Reiki Master in Jan 2000. After this, it is a beautiful journey. All the negative emotions gradually started loosening their grip. I started accepting events happening in life as they used to come without getting disturbed. Very big challenges came in my life. I started handling them without getting emotionally disturbed. The presence of Gurudev in my life and His knowledge. The knowledge given by Shamalji as my trainer in Reiki and BTS made me strong and now every day I remind myself the knowledge point of BTS “I am Universal Life Force Energy and this birth is to complete my Karmas”. This knowledge is my Bhagwad Gita today, which keeps me balanced in my life. Even today I am going through a very critical phase in my life but I am handling it with a smiling face thinking this Karma I have to go through. Thanks Gurudev for being in my life. Thanks Shamalji, who made me what I am today. Thanks all the people who brought me on this Path. Life is beautiful.”
