About Pamir

Becoming involved with Reiki was a transition for me from the literary and dramatic arts to the spiritual living and healing arts. My educational and occupational background is in literature and theater. I love the creative side of life. Being absorbed in a novel, and especially being on stage were peak experiences for me and very rewarding.

It wasn't until much later that these interests no longer seemed to contribute to my life. There had been a tug all along that simply hadn't been fulfilled in all those years, and it kept tugging. I had stopped growing. I wasn't happy. Life was bleak and difficult.

Then it happened. Hurricane Andrew ripped through Southern Florida and the tremendous fear it created broke my stuckness, created an opening and initiated radical changes in me.

It's difficult to put into words what happened next. Over the course of the next few years I was granted major divine interventions in a series of synchronicities. I stopped reading fiction. I quit the stage. My days were totally dedicated to personal growth, meditation and self-healing. I immersed myself in an education in the field of spiritual living and the healing arts, both experientially and through serious study and training.

One of the teachings I trained in and studied was Reiki. It happened to be something I could pass on to others. All of the ways I'd been shown transformed me in a profound manner. I had proof in my body, mind and spirit that spirituality and healing is the answer.

So it was a natural choice for me to share all I had learned, with the main vehicle being Reiki. I founded ORI for the purpose of bringing health, happiness and success to others.

It has been a thrilling fifteen years. I feel that contribution is a great way to live. In my field contribution is built-in and for that I'm grateful. To be able to give and receive, to bless and be blessed, to heal and be healed, to love and be loved is a priceless gift. My work allows me into the lives of others to share humanity, receive their stories and help people live their best potential. This is really a unique privilege. And from individuals I'm able to touch families, whole groups and society at large.

This is well exemplified in the comments of a student, several of whose family members have also become Reiki-trained. I'm humbled and inspired by such comments: "You are truly a gift to humanity. In my eyes, you make a difference on Earth and your presence here is not casual. Thank you for the thousandth time for being such an important part of our lives, in the name of everything and all you do."

I really need no other reason to keep doing what I do.

My work takes on a dimension beyond me. It becomes a service with the domino effect of good will, peace and wellness.  It also provides me ample time to truly enjoy my son, as well as my other interests.

I sit in appreciation...
