Hi and thank you for stopping by. My name is Sian and I have wanted to set up a resource for people who are looking to explore and find answers to who they are – Reiki Your World is about exactly that. If you are interested in reading further, may I make a suggestion, pull up a comfortable chair and have a drink to hand so you can relax while you have a few minutes.
MY STORY
I was born in North Wales and my first language was Welsh, but now living living on the Isle of Wight, UK. for the past 30+ years. Married with two children and a Naini(granny), which I love being, to nine diverse youngsters, eldest is 28 and in Brasil the youngest came to us in 2021, he, that is Odin, started his journey on the solstice and completed it on the 22nd June. We feel he is a very special gift to the family.
The journey that has brought me here in the now has been an interesting one but often challenging: I was a very independent, ambitious youngster with a pretty crap secondary education. I wanted to be a teacher – no chance there with my education, so I became a hairdresser. Imagine to my surprise, that I found myself 10 years later, on my journey to becoming a lecturer/teacher/trainer/coach. A further 10 years and I had a degree BA(Hons)PCE. Post Compulsory Education
My role in education was ultimately about supporting individuals towards their achievement goals: teaching them knowledge, training them in skills and coaching them to believe in themselves so they got past their barriers in life that held them back from achievement.
As you can imagine back in the 80s and 90s when I was starting my career, there wasn’t much understanding or perspective in the Western mainstream education arena of how experiences, emotions, thoughts, affected behaviour and that the heart and brain coordinate.
I knew I needed a greater, more in depth understanding of how we worked, for my own understanding: there was more to know and explore, barriers to drive through! Maybe then I could help more people – there needed to be a different way surely? was my train of thought.
D`you remember the financial crash of 2008? Well this was the beginning of my life changer, (many of us have them). From the ambitious, successful career woman to a matriarch who had lost all she and her family had amassed and worked for – left wondering what she had done wrong? and why did all this happen? Blaming herself.
Every area of my life over the next 2 years was affected by loss: malignant breast cancer, closure of family business, loss of home, no well paid secure job, no pension being paid, no prospects and facing her late 50s – left on the shelf of employment due to ageism, which was prevalent then and the country in a down-turn.
This impact was instigated by the worldwide banking crash: something not many of us saw coming. It caused total chaos for many. It was a damn shock to the materialistic, achievement orientated me! No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find myself a damned good reason as to Why, it had happened what did I do? Where did I go wrong? lots of self searching went on I can tell you! The impact was life changing and we still feel the reverberations today in our lives.
Fast forward to present times, and I find myself here today as a totally different person, well, maybe not totally different….. I look the same, but I think differently about many things and I certainly approach life in a different way.
My approach to life has changed big time and it has changed because of my perspective of my experiences. I could have become a victim, woe is me, get depressed, maybe worse. I just felt there was a reason, a reason why all this happened to me and my family.
The reason I now recognise was that I was following the wrong path: I was working against the flow of life, I hadn’t heeded the notices I was given that I needed to change. I was stressed and frustrated at work, I loved my job, but over time I was loosing faith with the management team I worked with. One particular guy had some deep seated issues with me, which I had been warned about, but I believed I could overcome. I was wrong, but it was him who had the issues not me as I originally believed – luckily, with work and healing, I was able to change my perspective. He finally manovered me out of the job when the new government changed priorities and made massive cuts to the area of education my role focused on. I became expendable! I was very skilled, experienced and above all expensive! I had to go – it made business & financial sense! Anyway, this is becoming too long a story, so I’ll just say and the rest is history.
What changed my perspective you may ask?
Well, I was drawn towards the fact we are energetic beings and how our energy works. I started studying energy healing in the form of Reiki, I used it regularly on myself and family, there were progressive changes happening within our family and around us. And my approach and thinking process had begun to evolve. I no longer had an insatiable drive, one that once I had done something, I needed to be on to the next thing, often causing dissatisfaction on closer scrutiny….problems always had to be solved when often they will be resolved just by being given time. Life got quieter – I have to admit it took some getting used to initially, I felt like a part of me was missing, the high achiever, was no longer high and beginning to enjoy it!
The journey continues, and I now recognise myself as an Energy Healer; I am a Reiki Master also use and have studied Numerology , N L P, EFT, EAM and touched on all manner of other energetic therapies, such as reflexology, chakra healing, meditation, mindfulness. This year I have been focusing my studying on meditation techniques, and qualifying to teach it; regularly attending a psychic circles working with mediumship and using amongst others tarot, as being my favourite as a divination tool. This brought to me to an opportunity to study a new to me, healing modality qualification which is known as Chakrascention; it works with our chakras as the name implies and the bodily functions these represent which immediately drew me to it, and draws on the energies of Ascended Masters. It is a powerful healing modality; many have been heard to say that it is like Reiki on steroids – not that the founders would agree. (I will be revealing more about this and other areas on the website as it grows.)
All this sounds like I am a woo woo geek Ha! ha! ha! I am not honestly. I am a very average, friendly, happy and generally approachable person who has made sense of her life (to her anyway), who’s intention has always been to help people the best she can, and that is why I am here doing this.
THE GOAL OF THE SITE
It is my hope that this site will provide answers for some, knowledge for others: A chance to explore and learn more about oneself, by trying out some of the things I share. Perhaps a change of perspective driven by the introduction of new experiences and perhaps an improvement to your enjoyment of life.
If this is what happens then I will have achieved my reason for being here.
If you find you have questions or have a need to share or debate an outcome then, please feel free to leave your thoughts below they will be welcomed and I will be more than happy to respond.
All the best,
Sian E Kirk
