Awakened Reiki Yoga

Rev. Angie Collins
 
So tell me about how you got started in your work? I started my work when I was 12... My mother was very ill with cancer and fought a 13-year battle...During the night, she would cry from the pain that the cancer had given her. I would push my bed up to hers at night and lay hands on her Sacral Chakra, and stroke her head until she fell asleep. In the morning she would wake up with a bright, brave smile and say “Thank you for helping me last night”.
