Reiki and Faith: Supporting Reiki Through Holy Experiences and Scripture

By Danielle Groth and Rev. Victoria Lovell

In April of 2020, Vicky and Danielle experienced an indescribable, life-altering moment that they believe catapulted their mission of teaching self-love and energetically formed a holy synergy between them. However, before they could step into their calling, now known as Wonder-Twinning, with both feet, they each needed to reconcile their own faith walk with reiki.
By sharing their story and experiences, their intention for this book is to shine a light on the readers path as one find’s their footing in the blended world of Reiki and faith. For the readers who are grounded in their faith, scriptures and holy experiences will inspire the reader to find new and exciting ways to blend these two worlds that dance so beautifully together. And for the readers who are skeptical, feel challenged, or need help in understanding how Reiki can be supported by one's faith and grounded in scripture, they have provided a guide to formulate the reader’s own reconciliation.

FOREWORD

By Dan McConnell, PhD

To one there is given through the Spirit a

message of wisdom, to another a message

of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to

another faith by the same Spirit, to another

gifts of healing by that one Spirit,

1 Cor 12: 8 – 9

I love to dwell in the space between. The space between dark and light, silence and sound, music and noise, melody and harmony, spiritual and science. There is uncertainty on both sides. There is a knowing and unknowing on both sides. Somewhere in the middle is the truth. Or is it both? Two perceived opposites are Reiki and Faith. Somewhere in the middle is truth. Or is it both? That is what this book begins to explore. The work of this book is never complete, nor will it be. And therein lies the interest and the fun of it all.

Almost sung in an easy conversational style, the preacher and the healer walk you through their many thought processes and struggles. In seeking a common ground of love they are able to partner together and gain understanding. They meet in the middle to understand sometimes and to allow non-understanding at other times. Questions and differences are explored with love and tolerance.

Through Reiki and faith collisions, shrining and Wonder-Twinning, you will enjoy walking with the preacher and the healer as they explore and celebrate the journey.

Are they compatible? The book’s conclusion is a resounding Yes!
