Reiki
and Pregnancy
Published in the December 1998 issue of "The Messenger"
Many people had asked us about doing Reiki on pregnant women. There
are many who might think that doing Reiki may be harmful to a pregnant
woman. This is just not so. In fact, the unborn fetus thrives on the
same life-force that is known as Reiki. Optimally, a woman-with-child
should become attuned to Reiki, as well as the unborn child. Then the
mother-to-be could do Reiki on herself and the fetus. By performing
Reiki on the unborn child, it will grow accustomed to the energy while
in the womb, and after coming into the world. The mother will benefit
from Reiki as it will help to alleviate the discomfort of
being-with-child. Reiki will also help to ease the pain of birthing.
We had a student who was considered a high health risk. She was
warned against having a child, as the child may develop genetic
difficulties. This student heard about Reiki and about its affects on
health imbalances, and sought training from us. She performed daily
Reiki self-treatments on herself, as well as spending extra time on
the baby. She followed our instructions for preparation of birth; she
did extra Reiki treatments three days prior to giving birth, she had
Reiki attuned family members send her absentee treatments during
birth, and she continued to give herself Reiki after her baby was
born. She discovered that the baby was born healthy and happy, with no
imperfections. Over the next few weeks she continued to give herself
and her baby daily Reiki treatments. The baby was very quiet, loving,
and joyful. In fact, the baby made no fuss at all. The mother went on
to receive additional Reiki classes and continues to work with the
Reiki energy. She is convinced that Reiki made the difference between
what could have been a difficult birth and the actual, easy birth.
In
our experience, we have found that Reiki is capable of restoring the
genetic code to the perfection that it was designed to portray. This
becomes easier as imbalances are worked on in early stages/conditions.
In the case of a newborn, if there are imbalances and health
problems, many of these conditions might be brought to perfect health
with the continued practice of Reiki on the fetus and after birth. At
least, if a newborn has a health condition, then daily treatments with
Reiki "may" help to diminish the symptoms.
In our Reiki classes, we
teach mothers-to-be to work on themselves whenever they have a
free-hand. Whenever the hands are not busy, we instruct expected
mothers to self-treat with one or both free hands. Reiki can be done
while talking on the phone, watching television, driving the car,
reading a book, or any activity that frees up one or both hands. Reiki
is the universal life-force energy that keeps all living beings
energized to maintain balance in all areas of one's life.
A good rule
of thumb is "If in doubt as to whether Reiki should be performed, do
Reiki".
