Some Success Stories from the
Use of Reiki.
We have worked on hundreds of people, who have had the
gambit of maladies, minor to life-threatening, and like any "assistant
to the healing process", we have had our disappointments and
successes. Herein are a few of our favorites.
We traveled extensively
for the first three years of our relationship, and we soon developed
a circuit that called for recurring visitations. We acquired a
reputation in these places of visit of being a believer in the system
of Reiki. So quite often, people were awaiting our return, offering us
their symptoms for instant healing. But in all of our years and
travels, we rarely witnessed that kind of miracle. We learned through
experimentation and consistent treatments, that there was not many
maladies/imbalances that would not improve with on-going Reiki
treatments. We also soon discovered that we did not want to be
responsible for the "healing" of others, but rather suggested that if
they really wanted to be free of their symptoms, that our occasional
treatments would have to be supplemented by their own inner and outer
work. We helped people to see that we did not have "special
talents/gifts of healing", but rather that anyone could learn to do
the same as we did...through attunements and the practice of laying
hands on themselves. So we often gave classes in these localities to
all that would take them; those who wanted to be in good health again,
and those who desired to be a support system to their community.
In
one town we visited regularly, there was a wonderfully kind lady who
had a stroke, and it affected her emotions so deeply, that she did not
believe that she could ever be normal again. Therefore, the medical
professionals could not help her; they could only offer physical
therapy and experiment with drugs to help this dear person to find
some relief of depression and pain. When we arrived in this town, we
asked that this person if she really wanted to lead a normal life
again, and if she would be willing to put a lot of energy into her own
healing process. With a little convincing, and a few stories of
others successes, she agreed to do what we thought important. We
offered her daily treatments while in town, and if she saw any changes
in her condition, that she was to learn Reiki from us and continue to
give herself treatments. We also offered to support her by doing
absentee treatments as we continued to travel the country. She agreed,
if the treatments showed any improvements in the days we remained in
her town. We started immediately, and within a few days, she noticed
that her depression was eased and that she was sleeping better. That
was enough to convince her to take the attunements and training to
first degree and in our last few treatments on her, she helped us by
doing Reiki on herself simultaneously. Well, she promised to keep up
her daily treatments, and we left to continue our travels. Upon
returning the next time, we found that she had not been faithful in
her duties, and depression had once again set in. So we gave her some
rather intense sessions and introduced the idea of increasing the
available energy via the use of "symbols" and convinced her that if
she would use the symbols with her self-treatments, that she would
have greater change in her condition than without the additional
training. So once again, she followed our suggestion and began her
newly-powered treatments. And they also fell to the wayside once we
left town, so we suggested that some other Reiki practitioners in town
continue supporting her self-treatments giving her additional
treatments two or three times each week. That was the missing link;
she wanted help with her process. Each time we came back, she would
excitedly come over to show us her improvements since our last visit,
and today she is almost normal again, driving and doing for herself;
she has since gotten married, and is now occasionally offering
treatments to others in the neighborhood who are in need.
In another
city, we arrived late one night and a friend that we were staying with
was telling us the news since the last time we visited. And one lady
friend (and second degree Reiki practitioner) was to have surgery in
two days to remove breast lumps. We called her immediately, and asked
her to come over the next morning, as we wanted to give her treatments
and wanted her to consider postponing the surgery for only one week.
She had to convince her husband, but eventually agreed to both. We did
two treatments on her per day, and she was to self-treat as often
during that day, as time and activities would allow. When we began at
the beginning of the week, her breasts were so filled with lumps that
her entire breast tissue were hard to the touch and painful. At the
end of the week, her pain had subsided and her tissue was once again
soft and supple. She went to the doctors for an exam, and the nurse
was told to do a mammogram and to show him the results. He looked at
the pictures and had the test repeated two more times, as he thought
there must be some problem with the machine. All three tests showed
the same results: the lumps were non-existent. The doctor sat with the
patient and said that he didn't understand why the lumps were gone,
but he was sure that they would return and he would be there to
perform surgery when they did. She never had the surgery performed.
Another client in the same town was a 16 year old girl who had a bad
overbite. Wanting to look normal and acceptable to her peers, she
opted for elective surgery; she was to have her jaws broken, the upper
jaw bone reduced and slid back into her mouth cavity and then the
jaws wired for a month so the bones structure could heal and
strengthen. She would be drinking her meals trough a straw for that
time. We convinced the young lady and her mom that the healing would
be faster, with less pain, if we would be allowed to do Reiki
treatments three days before the surgery, immediately after the
surgical procedure in the recovery room, and for three days after
surgery. And of course we strongly suggested that she take our Reiki
classes and continue self-treatments after the three days. Acceptance
of those conditions, we began our treatments. Her surgery was
successful, and she was brought to the recovery room still under
sedation. Because of my ministerial status, I was permitted with the
request of the girl's mother, to go into the recovery room, where I
did Reiki on her mouth, jaw, throat, and head. The Reiki brought her
to consciousness faster than expected and she was in her room within
the hour. We did Reiki treatments there, in front of her relatives and
friends. And we returned daily for the next two days. Her surgery was
on Monday morning, and on Tuesday, she was released to go home, and
on Friday she had an examination to see how healing was progressing.
The doctor ordered the stitches removed because the tissue had healed
and if they weren't removed now, another surgery might have to be
performed to release the surgical cords. The attending nurse asked
when the surgery was performed, and the girl answered on Monday; the
nurse said the healing was on time, that in two weeks, most stitches
were removed. The patient responded that not two weeks had gone by,
but only 4 days. The nurse and doctor were quite astonished at her
recovery time, and commented to the mother about the same. She told
the doctor about Reiki being performed, and he said that he was not
familiar with it, but that it must be good if it could help healing
this much. The young girl sat in on our first degree class the next
day, and continued to give herself treatments. Before we left town, we
called, and found that the swelling was minimal, the bruising never
occurred, and her wires came out before projected dates.
An emergency
case that really impresses us about the potential of Reiki is as
follows. The daughter of a friend ( he was then second degree Reiki)
was thrown from the back of a motorcycle; she slid across the pavement
and hit the curb, crushing her cranial sinus cavities. Our friend had
his girlfriend (she was also 2nd degree) hunt us down and called us
in another state with the request that we send absentee treatments to
the daughter. We suggested that she hunt for his Reiki volunteer list
and to call all the names and give the minimum information (name, age,
name of hospital/city, and condition) to each, asking for additional
help with Reiki. Within a couple of hours, there were about 50 people
sending Reiki energy to the daughter while she was having surgery. The
doctors had to shave a portion of her head, cut and released the
scalp (from ear to ear) from the cranium, and peeled back the facial
skin to below the nose, and rebuilt the sinus cavity bone structure.
They pumped her with antibiotics to prevent infection of sinuses, and
said that time would tell. We heard that the girl healed more rapidly
than doctors thought possible and that within the first week, the
stitches had to come out, and today, there are no scars (other than
the one beneath the hair line) and there had never been any
infections.
And to help you to understand that these thing do not
happen to us alone, here is a story from a student of ours. This
student/friend was only second degree when a work associate of hers
told of an operation that she was to have. It was elective jaw surgery
to correct misaligned teeth placement (similar to the surgery
described above). Our student asked if she could do Reiki on her 3
days before surgery, during her stay in the hospital, and for 3 days
after she came home. The lady wanted to know what Reiki was, but our
student didn't want to challenge the lady's belief system, so just
said that it was an energy from God that could possible help the
healing process. The lady agreed and the treatments went as described.
In the recovery room after surgery, the nurse gave the lady some
medication to ease pain, but it was refused because there was no pain.
This was offered every couple of hours for the next two days, but
always declined as there was no pain. She healed quickly, and gives
all the credit for her rapid healing and lack of pain to our student,
calling her an angel.
And one more to show the possibilities that
exist when one offers Reiki. We were referred to a man in a town; he
had a degenerating condition in his spine and bones, and was in
constant pain. He had several surgeries, many medications, and finally
the medical professionals asked him to not return, as they could do
nothing more for him. His condition was worsening, and it affected
every aspect of his life: his work, his sleep, his relationship to his
family, and his will to live. When we called, he declined our
service, saying that he had several alternative treatments of various
kinds, and although they helped during treatments, the results would
not last more than a few hours. And he said that he did not believe
that anything could help; afterall, even the doctors had given up all
hope. But strong was our conviction for Reiki, and we offered him four
days of treatments, at no charge; if Reiki did not help then we would
leave, not charging anything for our time. But if it did help him,
then he could donate any amount of money for our service. He could not
refuse such an offer. Each day we returned, he described subtle
little changes that he experienced, but was not convinced that this
would make enough of a difference. However, on the fourth day, he
surprisingly admitted that his pain was greatly reduced, he had the
best sleep he had in months, and that he could see the benefits of
Reiki. He did not want to learn the technique, but rather wanted us to
move to his city, and to work on him each day. We explained that we
felt more useful out on the road teaching Reiki, and that we could
positively touch more this way. We gave him the phone numbers of
several of our students who practiced Reiki in the area, but he
declined anyone else's help, only wanting us to work on him. We had
done all we could do, and we heard that he had died not too many
months later. We feel sad that people sometimes limit themselves by
not accepting the responsibility for their healing, but we have found
that Reiki is never wasted, even if refused. We feel that in a
subsequent lifetime, he will once again be drawn to Reiki, and
eventually he will remember his contacts with it, and use the
knowledge and understanding to make new decisions and choices about
the state of his health. Reiki is the Godsend, whether we recognize it
in this lifetime or another.
