” I let myself relax and I could feel the sorrow lifting off of my chest.” ~ Lorena Baran
Keep reading for Lorena’s beautiful full story.
I am beyond grateful every single day that I have the connection to this amazing life force energy which allows me help to transform lives often.
Perhaps it’s only because I have come to know Lorena and I know all that she has gained from Reiki, but I am going to suggest getting a tissue anyway, because the moment I read her response to the questions, I most certainly needed one. Her story, and Reiki’s contribution to helping her move forward is nothing less than beautiful.
Thankfully, when I asked her, she was absolutely thrilled to share her Reiki story with you so that others know there is help out there for them as well.
And here is her story in her own words….


Tell us a little about yourself. Anything you’d like to share (family, personal hobbies/interests, work, … anything!). It can be simple or elaborate. :):
I would describe myself as spiritual but not religious. I am a mother of 2 boys who are my biggest driving force toward self improvement. My husband and I have a great love of learning and exploring how things work. It seems only natural for me to be a homeschool mom.
What made you decide to try Reiki?:
I have always believed that there is some unseen force that binds us all together. I had taken an interest in Chakra balancing because something inside of me kept bringing me back to the question “what if my physical pains [are] related to my chakras being imbalanced?”.
I found RISE ANEW during a very hard time in my life. I had been very sick for a few years. Being a sick mom, wife, friend and so on took a toll of me. I felt terrible and there was a deep sorrow [that] had been existing in my chest for so long. I walked into RISE ANEW ready to let go of whatever was holding me down. I wanted to heal.
What did you expect vs what did you receive?:
I expected it to be relaxing and hopefully therapeutic. Reiki felt like I found the answer to the question I had been asking for years. My Chakras were a mess. It validated that there was something more going on inside of me. I let myself relax and I could feel the sorrow lifting off of my chest. I was finally able to start relaxing muscle groups that I had not been able to before. It was as if I could finally start to let go of the emotional baggage that I had been physically carrying for all these years. It felt like my answer.
Talk a little bit about what you felt or received on your first visit vs after completion of the “weekly clear-out”.:
During the days following I felt lighter and my head was more clear. I felt less pain in my lower back. I also noticed that I could breath deeper. Truly I felt a massive weight off my chest.
What has Reiki done most for you?:
Reiki has been the tool I have been looking for to allow myself to grieve and heal and grow. I have never felt more ME in my life! I find myself exploring new ideas and trusting my intuition. I am so proud of my personal growths.
What would you say to someone that may be thinking about trying Reiki?:
Open your heart and your mind and DO IT!! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!!
