My first experience with Reiki

I am a long time sufferer of chronic anxiety. And when I say long term, I mean long term, like my whole life, since I was four years old. Over the years I have tried many ways of managing my anxiety. I’ve always been drawn to meditation, yoga and natural remedies. These  have had varying effects on my anxiety. 

When I initially tried meditation, I would get very frustrated with myself.  I had a lot of trouble focusing and could never seem to stay at it for longer than a few minutes. Racing thoughts are a big part of my anxiety and I couldn’t seem to turn them off no matter how much nature sounds music I played.
