Teaching
Reiki to Children This is an excerpt from an article in the spring issue of the Reiki News Magazine. Teaching Reiki to children has been such a gift, for it is actually the children who are teaching me. Their openness and willingness to explore their innate abilities makes each class special and unique. I share so much laughter, creativity, and fun with these children. They have taught me what childhood should be like and how to help manifest it. A ten-year-old girl named Claire inspired me to create a program specifically for children. Her parents, Elizabeth and Scott, had taken Level I Reiki with me. A few days after their course, they called me saying they really needed to talk to me. They spoke to me from separate extension phones and told me what had transpired in their home after the Reiki I workshop. Elizabeth's mother had been looking after her two children for the duration of the workshop. When Elizabeth and her husband arrived home, her mother had said, "I don't care what you learned this weekend, my knee is hurting so bad I need you to try it on me." Elizabeth was a little apprehensive about her newly acquired skill, but she remembered how she could really feel the energy when she created an energy ball between her two hands. She did this just to make sure the energy was running, and as she began to feel the energy between her hands, Claire said, "Oh Mommy, can you show me how to make one of those beautiful balls of color, too?" Her mother showed her what to do, and Claire could quite easily see the energy and talked about the different colors she was seeing. She helped her mother do Reiki on her grandmother, careful to keep her hands above the area being treated so that she could still see all the colors. When Claire's father went to move a stool that was beside the grandmother, Claire said, "Don't take that stool. Nanny's angel is sitting there." Then Claire took her mother aside and said, "You remember when I was little and I could see the angels? Well, they are back. I can see them again. You brought the angels back!" Elizabeth recognized that there might be challenges in having a child who is clairvoyant, and so she called me to get some advice and assistance. I listened patiently to all she had to share with me. She really needed someone to talk to about this wonderful little being that was her daughter. I told her what a special gift Claire was and that the most important thing was that she lived in a house where her perceptions would be honored. "Your job," I said, "is that of a true Guardian, to protect her and make sure no one ever exploits her gifts or ridicules her." It was through my conversations with Claire's mother that I realized I needed to create something for special ones like Claire. I couldn't accept that she had to wait until she was an adult to learn Reiki. From my own experience, I knew that many children shut down these special abilities because they feel they have no use for them in their physical world. I knew that Reiki would give them an outlet and a practical way to use their perceptions. As Reiki practitioners, we all know how simple Reiki is and that it is neither dependent on spiritual evolution nor intellect, so why should it be kept from someone based on an age barrier? I was also encouraged by some of my Reiki students who told me that if I set up a class for kids they would provide me with willing participants.
We decided that we wanted to direct the program to children aged between six and twelve years, and soon the first Reiki Kids program was in the works. I wanted a place that wouldn't restrict the children in any way. A small retreat center where I often teach my Reiki Master classes was rented for the first workshop. There was plenty of room for the children both indoors and out. The wood plank floor would make it easy to clean up any of their creative endeavors, and the furniture was well worn and comfortable. . . . . . . . The Attunement for Children Reiki Masters
who use the four-attunement method may find it a little complicated to keep the
children engaged for a long period of time. I recommend that you do just one attunement.
I have a sense that is all children require. I use the one-attunement method taught
to me by William Rand and find it to be highly effective. One seven-year-old boy named Addison sat so respectfully during the attunement, it was obvious that this was a very sacred moment for him. As I did the attunement, I could sense and see all his chakras line up in micro movements. His field was changing and filling with light. At the end of the attunement, I instructed him to put his hands over his heart and allow the Reiki energy to flow. He did this and sat very quietly for a moment. Then he looked at me with the most loving expression and said, "My heart has changed its beat." He continued to sit there for a little longer then turned his gaze towards me again and said, "There, it is finished. My heart is beating differently now." I asked him if it felt like a good thing. With a dreamy look in his eyes he said, "Oh, yes. It is very good." Then he went off to join the other children. When
his mother contacted me later, she told me he had spent the week after the workshop
in a state of bliss, experiencing the world around in him in a very loving way. More

Reiki and Cancer She went on to tell me that she was sure she was not going to die. I told her I would continue the Reiki and told her how to do some visualization techniques as well. Several months later her doctor called her at ten one evening and asked what she was doing. She said she was getting ready for bed. He said, "No, that's not what I mean, what are you doing? I'm looking at your tests here and you are clean!" No cancer remained, she was healed! She has been granted the time with her daughter that she wanted. Mary Ronge Reiki
Heals Multiple Injuries At the end of the first session the patient felt very relaxed. The pain reduced to nothing. She felt a gushing of energy and warmth and went home and slept several hours, something she hadn't done in ten years. The next day the pain came back. But the indigestion problem was resolved completely. With the next session the patient went into a deep trance/meditative state within the first two minutes of the treatment. Lots of adhesions in and around the fracture site in the face, ribs, breast-bone, left knee, ankle, and leg were released. Her face became very expressive. Tension would cause her to grimacing with pain and then would follow with a calm face as adhesions released. She woke up saying, "I was with you but felt like I was just too far away and it was like being under a local anesthetic. I felt relaxed." The next day the patient was in severe pain and had to take pain medicine. When the patient came for her third session she said she felt very bad but still positive about the treatment. I explained it is very normal since all the negativities are in the body and Reiki is acting as antioxidant to bring them out. She felt great after the third treatment with no pain and is off pain medication and anti-inflammatory drugs. She said she hasn't felt this good in ten years. Since Reiki has been started she hasn't had a seizure relapse. She is still under therapy for strengthening and receives fifteen minute Reiki session as a boost. Hima N.
