SOME OF THE MANY USES OF REIKI Reiki has been known to heal almost every "dis"ease and injury Man has created. While Reiki has produced some exciting results in just one treatment, I feel I must emphasize that it is not an "over-night miracle cure." It may take many treatments before a serious "dis"ease or injury will be completely healed, and it is always advisable to combine spiritual counseling with Reiki in order to help the client realize the original cause of the problem and work toward transmuting whatever negative thought forms might have created that cause. Above all, it is imperative to remember that the results of any healing modality are according to the Divine Will and Purpose of the one seeking healing. Throughout the history of Reiki, there are records of healings involving multiple sclerosis, heart disease, cancer, cuts, bruises, broken bones, headaches, colds, flu, sunburn, insomnia, stress, AIDS, arthritis, paralysis, lupus, allergies, ulcers, and back, neck, knee and feet problems. Because it is holistic in nature, Reiki is wonderful for those suffering from trauma, such as the loss of a loved one, incest, and physical, mental and sexual abuse. It also works well in improving the effectiveness of all other types of therapy. Many of my clients have found it extremely beneficial to see me either right before or right after a visit to the hypnotherapist, dentist or doctor, Reiki relieves stress and tension and facilitates whatever procedure is used. It is also most beneficial to receive a Reiki treatment either directly before or after a chiropractic adjustment, since Reiki is a wonderful way to heal and relax the muscles surrounding the area being adjusted. We do NOT advise substituting Reiki for treatments that can only be given by a medical doctor or other health care professional. Reiki is used as a preventative measure as well as improving the results of medical treatment by reducing negative side effects, eliminating pain, reducing stress, and quickening the healing process.
SOME HEALING STORIES Reiki is wonderful for all life forms: Man, Woman, Child, animals, flowers, plants, trees, crystals and stones. Some even say you can use Reiki on your car. I have only had one Reiki experience associated with my car. My experience happend several years ago when I visited my mother who lives in the mountains. It had snowed overnight, and when I tried to unlock my car door the lock was frozen. I thought, "Oh, well, why not?" and held my hands over the lock. It immediately defrosted. Now, granted, it would have defrosted sooner or later, but the heat from my hands immediately defrosted it. What a kick! I have heard that you can use Reiki if the engine won't start. Thank God, I have not had to prove this, but I will keep an open mind - just in case.
SOME EXPERIENCES WITH KIRA Kira is our beloved Australian Shepherd (who crossed over several years ago). She loved to snoop on our next door neighbors and their black Lab. One day our neighbors had a backyard party and Kira was running back and forth along the fence, trying to get a better look at all the new faces. After a while, she came into the house limping. She had managed to cut the major pad of her front foot where a piece of the pad was hanging by just a thin layer of skin. I took her to our Vet who applied some medicine and wrapped her foot in a bright red bandage. She told me it would take at least two weeks to heal, but to bring Kira back in three days to change the bandage. For the next three evenings I held her paw between my hands for as long as she would accept the energy. When we returned to the Vet and she took off the bandage, she was amazed that the pad had completely healed. When I told her I gave Kira Reiki, her response was, "Yes, that would do it!" Another time, I was driving my husband, Steve, to the airport. Kira was in the back seat, with Steve's small, black suitcase beside her. When I turned a corner to get onto an on-ramp, the suitcase fell over, spooked Kira, and she jumped out the window. I slammed on the brakes and opened the door. Kira had rolled down an embankment and was hobbling back up to the car. She had a small cut on her face, some scrapes on her rear and appeared to be limping. When I got her home, she had a difficult time getting up the front stairs, and I was very worried. I called the emergency clinic and was advised that if she wasn't crying or getting sick, it probably would be okay to wait until morning. I spent the night holding her and giving her Reiki. When I took her to the Vet the next day her limp was hardly noticeable. After examining her, our Vet diagnosed a sprained back. Reiki and rest was the best thing for her. Again, the Vet suggested two weeks - no play. Inside of four days, Kira was back to her old self.
ARTHRITIS I'd like to share my first Reiki experience with you. Before I received my Reiki I attunements, I had been suffering from arthritis in both heels and Achilles. I could barely walk. At this time I was working an extremely stressful job, but wanting to quit in order to pursue my Spiritual Path on a full-time basis. However, I had convinced myself that I couldn't afford to quit just yet. I would wait two more years and save some money. In the morning, I could not walk without holding on to something. By the time I had finished my shower and was leaving the house I could almost walk - with a lot of pain. However, by the time I got to the office and got out of my car, the pain was unbearable. It took me forever just to walk the short distance to the elevator. After I received my Reiki I training and attunements, I began giving myself Reiki every day. Two amazing things happened: First, within two months, my arthritis was completely gone (lumps and all). Secondly, I quit my job! Reiki not only went toward healing the symptoms, it healed the cause by expanding my consciousness and allowing me to see that I suffered from arthritis in my feet because I was not "walking my true path."
BACK AND NECK INJURIES I had a client who was involved in an automobile accident nearly 10 years before she came to see me. At our initial meeting, she complained of back and neck injuries which were the result of the old accident. She received Reiki treatments twice a month for about three months. At the end of the third month, all of the pain was gone with the exception of some minor discomfort in the back of her neck. I suggested that she get the Reiki I training and attunements. Once she did and worked on her neck for a couple of weeks, the pain was completely gone. ALLERGIES A client came to me, suffering from allergies that affected her circulation. (She also had a strong allergic reaction to dogs.) After one Reiki treatment, her problems completely disappeared for two weeks. During that time, she and her husband attended our weekly workshops. She was surprised when our dog, Kira, came up to her and sat along side her. She realized that she had no fears or allergic reactions to Kira at all. She received one more treatment after that and has greatly improved. (In this particular case, regular counseling along with Reiki would completely cure her. However, because of a variety of reasons, she has not been back. Although I know the Reiki can heal her, I can't force her to accept the healing. When she is ready, I know she will seek Reiki treatments again.) I could write an entire book, chronicling my experiences with Reiki. I am sure that once you receive your training and attunements, you will also have many stories to share. For now, I would like to leave you with two stories dealing with paralysis.
PARALYSIS A woman attended one of my free Reiki lectures. She was shot in the back by her ex-husband and the doctors told her she would never walk again. She was obviously in pain, but her desire to be healed was very strong. She had some movement in her left leg, but none in her right leg. As soon as I placed my hands near the area of the injury I instinctively could tell when she was going to have a painful spasm. Five Reiki Practitioners and I set to work channeling the Reiki energy, and within a short period of time the pain had decreased remarkably. The woman was ecstatic. As we continued to work on her, one Practitioner noticed her right leg move. "Did you move your leg?" she asked the woman. "I don't think so," she replied. "Let me try it now." We all watched as her right leg raised up about three to four inches. Needless to say, everyone was excited. My husband ran and got a mirror so the woman could see her right leg as she raised it. "God bless you all," she said. "Now, I know I will walk again!" "God bless you," I said. "You are healing yourself." Another incident involves a friend of ours - a young woman who was involved in an automobile accident. The young woman had so many broken bones in her body, it was easier to list what was not broken. The doctor told her that he had never seen so many neck and back breaks in a living person before. This young woman has a tremendous amount of courage and strength. With her head in a metal halo (brace), and most of her body paralyzed, she smiled at us and said: "The doctors say I'll never walk again. But I'm going to prove them wrong!" While she was in the hospital, we sent her distance healing, and on a few occasions my husband and I visited her and gave her Reiki. Shortly after she was released, I gave her the training and attunements for Reiki I. With the help of her mother and father, and with great courage and determination she continued to improve. She not only continued to practice Reiki, she also gave counseling and encouragement to others who lost the use of their legs in accidents. She attended our Reiki Connection meetings, to give and receive Reiki (from her wheelchair), and continued to improve - getting feeling back into her legs and strength in her neck and back. Several months later she participated as a Reiki Practitioner in one of our Holistic Faires. She gave Reiki to a young man who had cut his finger off in an industrial accident and was in a great deal of pain. She invited him to come to her home for more Reiki treatments. She and that young man are now happily married and following their new path as parents of two healthy and beautiful children. |
