MARIANNA MARKOU
I was born in Athens and grew up in Syros, with a small parenthesis of my life, where I stayed in the wonderful Evia for 5 years. I graduated from IEK Teleinformatics in Syros and then moved to Athens, where I worked in the field of Information Technology (IT) for 13 years. Having really enjoyed: career, successes, traveling abroad, working with teams, big projects, organization, I decided to apply my experience in a completely different field. I decided to follow the path of my heart...alternative therapies.
A personal story
How did it all begin?
I have been a restless spirit since childhood. I was always looking for the whys behind the looks. I've always loved learning new things, understanding how things work, and I've always loved helping others. I have had many existential quests and questions since I was very young. But neither natural science nor religion, unfortunately, could satisfy my questions...
...Until I encountered Reiki. Then I said: "I don't believe it! I found what I was looking for!". I remember listening to my teacher, in the 1st grade, talking about the philosophy of the system and thinking to myself, that it is not possible for someone to say so neatly, what had been scattered in my head for so long. And even more, that these "alternatives", the "strange" opinions I had and which until then no one understood me... others had them too! It was redemption for me! From there everything went its way.
What is the philosophy of Reiki?
Usui Sensei gave us the Principles of Reiki, by which all practitioners of the system must live. He considered it to be: “The secret method of attracting happiness. The spiritual medicine for all diseases”!
PRINCIPLES OF REIKI
Only for today,
Do not get angry
Do not worry
To feel gratitude
Work intensively
Be nice to others
… if you ask me… no. I didn't suddenly wake up and become a Reiki guru! Not even! Many years of daily and infinite practice have passed
treatments and practices, until I come to consider myself capable of teaching these principles, having first made them a part of my life and my daily effort. Have I succeeded? To a large extent yes. But I do not think that these principles can be attained and become your possession to the absolute extent, nor that Usui gave them for that. It is simply a guide, to keep you firmly in the Light as life moves on and throws its challenges at you. And you have to say every time: "I live based on these principles"? Where am I missing it? Let me try again.
