Reiki and Cancer
When a person has
cancer, their subconscious is trying to tell them that "life" is
out-of-control. The very best that we all can do when we have a
similar "wake-up call" is to drop all the scheduled activity and to
place our thoughts, focused attention, and energy into the act of
re-balancing our system. If we did this, we personally "know" that we
could and would re-gain our life-force and our health. When
chemotherapy and/or radiation is administered, these toxic treatments
kill cells (cancerous and non-cancerous as well) faster than the body
can replace them; even faster than the life-force can accumulate in
the good cells that are being bombarded. Reiki will not have much
effect on the cancer or these treatments until they are completed. And
then the Reiki has to de-tox the body, re-vitalize the immune system,
and balance the energy in all systems; every system in the body is
affected by these radical treatment cases. When the pain, from the
cancer and the treatments, is so great, humans have the ability to
create endorphins (natural pain-killers) and they begin to loose touch
with the "state" of the dis-ease…. they literally sublimate their
awareness of what is happening inside their body. When Reiki is
administered, the sensations are heightened, and the mind becomes more
alert to the "real pain level" that has always existed. Thinking that
something is wrong, they often return to their doctor/hospital for
verification and treatment of the increased pain. Most often, the
chemotherapy/radiation is increased/extended, and that puts additional
stress on the body's defense mechanisms. But, Reiki will positively
help to relieve some/most/all of the deleterious effects brought on by
the treatments….. so that is positive. We would recommend doing
extended (very long) Reiki sessions... explaining to the person that
there may be an increased level of sensitivity brought on by Reiki. As
the body tries to eliminate massive amounts of toxins, the person may
feel worse for a few days. But it has been our experience that this
is temporary, and the person will begin to feel better/stronger which
can be crucial in developing hope. Just keep doing Reiki!
