ABOUT ME

Giancarlo Serra

I had a natural interest in the mysterious and unexplained from an early age and initially pursued studies in Environmental Engineering and Science, however I found that this did not answer all of the questions I had in relation to phenomena that simply could not be explained by science.

Following a healing treatment, I received for myself in London when conventional medicine failed, I changed direction to follow the path of complementary holistic therapy and natural healing.

I could say that I am a healer, a Reiki teacher, or a Regression Therapist, however all of these labels cannot define Who I Am. Those are only roles, states that we occupy in the field of the infinite possibilities.
In Reality, You and I Are both the same substance, the same Consciousness, We Are One Consciousness individualised in infinite forms who are having a human experience.

Tesla once said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration”. You may think that you have come here by change (which, of course, does not exist), however as we live in a Divine Matrix, a conscious Field, your Fundamental Vibration has somehow led you here. I invite you to find out why.

I use metaphysical and esoteric knowledge, healing tools, Reiki teachings and transformational work to channel the purity of the True Self and facilitate you in remembering Who You Really Are. Once the illusion of separation dissolves by remembering Who You Are, you can start living your life as a Spark of the Divine experiencing infinite potential.

I look forward to connecting with you and starting this transformational journey together.

The Lineage

Practitioners often choose to study with several different masters over time, and also add different types and styles of Reiki into their toolbox of healing techniques. The number of different Reiki styles is probably over 70 and will keep growing and this can be a bit confusing. However, this diversity does give each practitioner the choice to go to whatever system or style resonates with them at the time.

The significance of the lineage is far more than just the information about the parts of the genealogical tree. The lineage is a transpersonal pool of power that we can call upon to help us and tap into whenever we decide or want to.

The deeper meaning of lineage transcends time and space. It is a profound energetic connection, not just to the people in one’s own Reiki lineage, but to all the teachers and practitioners of all lineages, past present and future.

These below are my own lineages for the different Reiki styles I have studied.
