Heavenly Healers twenty-five year old Reiki Master, Sandy Sharp has a thirst for knowledge of all things spiritual. Her Reiki path began unexpectedly at a Renaissance Faire in New Jersey.
“In 2010, I was in a very high stress job.” Walking by a booth at the Renaissance Faire, Sandy saw a woman giving Reiki treatments. Hoping to relieve some of the stress from her job, Sandy sat down for a treatment. Little did she know, this simple decision would change her life.
“Reiki was offered at a dollar a minute and so I asked for three minutes. I knew nothing about Reiki and it was a very fast treatment. I think she worked on my throat chakra and a couple of other areas, and it was by no means a complete body work. Still, I noticed it made a difference in my body. After that, I wanted to learn more about Reiki.”
“Back home, I called around looking for a class that I might take to learn more about Reiki, and realized that long time family friend Dr. Betty Caruth taught Reiki classes at her center, the Minerva Educational and Treatment Center, in Honesdale, Pa. I signed up for a Reiki 1 class in 2011 and kept going until I completed my mastership in September of 2013.”
“To complete my Reiki mastership, I had to give 30 documented treatments to people. I offered a treatment to a 60 year old man with chronic back pain. He had suffered from the pain caused by a car accident when he was 20. This man was a skeptic, but after I finished working on him, he was pleasantly surprised, he felt much pain relief.”
“I feel Reiki has given me direction in my life. It is by far, the greatest thing I like to do. It makes me feel connected to higher consciousness and I know that through my Reiki work, I am spreading light into this world.”
Having graduated from Wilkes University with a Sociology degree in 2010, Sandy feels that at some point she may be able to integrate her degree and Reiki into a lifes work.
“I would like to start a practice including mainstream therapy and Reiki. At this point in my life, I’m not sure how this will happen, but I feel I am meant to do this and so it will come eventually.”
Sandy’s Reiki treatments start with candles placed by the client’s feet. She uses Reiki to push and transmute energy to the candles. She does a byosen scan with her hands to find which areas in the body need energy work, then clears the aura with a Selenite wand. She sometimes uses aromatherapy if requested by her client, and then starts the Reiki treatment. The time spent working on the client, depends on what she feels the body needs.
“I work out of Maya’s Sanctuary of Oils on Commercial Street in Honesdale or out of personal homes.” Sandy also donates her time at the monthly Heavenly Healers energy clinics.
And is Sandy still at her high stress level job?
“No, after I learned Reiki, I decided to apply for a less stressful position within the same company. I sent Reiki along with the application and got the job!”
“Now, when I attend Renaissance Faires, I keep an eye out for the lady that gave me my first Reiki treatment. I wish to someday find her and tell her what a wonderful gift she gave me in that 3 minutes she worked on me. It changed my life forever.”
Sandy Sharp is the featured healer of the June 22nd Heavenly Healers Energy Clinic, where she will give free Reiki treatments. Stop by and start the change in your life.
