THE INSPIRATION: Being diagnosed with several autoimmune conditions — as the “diagnosis of exclusion” — was taking a toll on both my physical and overall emotional well-being. By the time I scheduled my second Rheumatology visit, received my third diagnosis (fibromyalgia) and was given my sixth prescription, cynicism was bordering on distrust. Sensing my angst, however, this new Rheumatologist held my hands and I promised to never disclose her as the source of the advice she shared. So when I visited an energy healer that very next week, the only reference I could provide was that “my source” had previously practiced “eastern medicine,” where the state of one’s chakras and meridians are part of overall healthcare.
Months later, my recovery was so remarkable, I wanted to learn energy healing for myself. Over the years, I studied with several Reiki Masters and came across many variations of energy healing including healing touch. But as I deepened my knowledge and engaged in daily self-practice, I decided to pursue my certification in Usui Reiki Ryoho and became a Reiki Master and teacher of that tradition.
“My recovery was so remarkable, I wanted to learn energy healing for myself.”
Dee Dial, Reiki Master Shinpiden
Like many in my field, I started out practicing Reiki on friends and family but, it did not take long to see a clear connection between my recovery, their experience and everything else I had learned related to the body’s meridians and the nature of Ki (also, Qi or Chi). I considered this experience, combined with nearly 25 years of practice in related modalities, like Tai Chi and Tibetan Tao Lung when I decided to open Lotus Petals Therapy.
THE PRACTICE: I have owned my own business since 1998, however, like many businesses, we have had to modify our services to accommodate the market and the conditions of the ongoing pandemic. This included adding distance healing, wellness products and a few other practitioners to ensure a holistic circle of care. Our “circle of care” includes lifestyle coaching, meditation and breath-work training but always includes Reiki as a core or complementary service.
THE TRANSFORMATION: This experience resulted in a transformation into the more healthful lifestyle that I often write about, talk about and share with others. Most of what I post here are actually excerpts from my many journals, informal interviews with professionals, research performed as part of gaining my credentials or inspired by client experiences. My friends, clients and colleagues are responsible for coining the term “Dee Dial Style” and that is how this site and Dee Dial Lifestyle was born.
