Mari Hall Update

Mari emailed me recently. She's resting, sleeping, reading, working on web pages and being very quiet. And she is making progress. In fact, her energy level is up enough that she has started the process of moving back to the USA. She appreciates all the love and Reiki you've sent and is still recovering from her heart attack, so please continue to send Reiki.

Kenyoku, Dry Bathing
by William Lee Rand

This is a Japanese Reiki Technique for purification. In Japan, before one enters a temple or sacred place, usually there is a place near the entrance with running water which is used for ritual cleansing to purify oneself before entering. Kenyoku means “dry bathing” and is a technique for ritual purification using energy rather than water.This is a good technique to use before and after giving a Reiki treatments. It can also be used at verioius times through the day or anytime one feels the need to release negative energy.

1. Do a short Gassho meditation.
2. Place your right hand on your left
shoulder.
3. Stroke down your chest, across your
stomach and end at the right hip.
4. Do the same on the other side.
5. Repeat step #2.
6. Extend your left arm.
7. Place our right hand on your left
shoulder.
8. Stroke down your arm all the way to
the hand and finger tips. Then fling your right hand out into the air as though you are throwing away any negative energy.
9. Do the same with the right arm.
10. Repeat the stroke down the left arm again.
11. You can also add a short Gassho at the end.

Reiki in the Holy Land
by William Lee Rand
My recent trip to the Holy Land allowed me to visit Old Jerusalem, one of the world's holy cities. I also traveled to Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, Masada, site of Jewish resistance, the Galilee area where Jesus is said to have performed miracle healings, and Hafia location of a Baha'i shrine. During my travels, I had powerful experiences, was healed and gained insight into the cause of war and the source of peace. The history of healing by various groups is covered as well as how Reiki is currently practiced and taught in Israel. Suggestions on how to use Reiki to promote peace in the Middle East are included. This 10 page article is beautifully laid out and contains 19 color photos including sacred sites of Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

Reiki Stories

Broken Wrist Healed
One of my Reiki clients broke her left wrist in three places. The doctor told her they would have to do surgery and possibly use a plate and/or pins or screws to put it back together. I started doing weekly Reiki sessions immediately and did three sessions before her scheduled surgery. By that time the swelling had gone down much faster than the doctor anticipated, and the pain was practically gone. The doctor did a CT scan two days before surgery and was amazed at the level of healing that had taken place. He cancelled the surgery and put on a permanent cast that was much shorter. We continued the Reiki sessions for four more weeks and the wrist is now as good as new. Doug Gibbs

Migraine, Arthritis, Pain Healed
At the time of joining Reiki I in 2000 I was suffering from severe migraine followed by vomiting almost on daily basis and arthritis which resulted in swelling in my fingers. By the grace of God both the problems were over thanks to Reiki.

Immediately after Reiki II in 2000 I did distant healing to a colleague of mine who was suffering from severe pain at the coccyx area. As a result she has not been able to move and sit properly. On her request I gave Reiki for 21 days. Her pain was completely over. Now she wants to become a Reiki channel. Most probably she will be taking Reiki I very soon. Shaji NK

Reiki Heals Back
The journey of a life time began with Reiki; it was like fining my way back home. There was a piece of me that was missing. It started eight or so years ago. I began a quest to learn more about myself through my Native American heritage. I devoured every book I could get my hands on about the native culture and history. What a grand adventure. . . . . .

At the time I had just entered massage therapy school. My life was flowing. Midway through school I developed a debilitating back problem. Because I was in such pain both physically and emotionally I was unable to attend class. I decided to try a chiropractor but I was still in unbearable pain. My days were numbered. I had missed seven of the nine days allowed before being dropped from the program. I had worked so hard and knew with every breath in me that I was supposed to be a therapist. I questioned why this happened. Better yet, what I could do to transform this obstacle into an opportunity.

Then a miracle happened. While lying in bed at 3:00 a.m. unable to sleep because of the pain and depression over the possibility of being kicked out of school a feeling of clarity came to me. I knew I could be healed through Reiki. I felt led to place my hands on the back of my head. I said a simple prayer of faith and love. The heat began to travel through my body. I felt like I was in a furnace. It didn't hurt and felt so loving and peaceful, like I was being cradled. Within minutes I felt an excruciating pain in my lower back and cried out. It was as if two hands had taken my spine and snapped it back into place. At first I was stunned then I realized I had no more pain. At that moment tears of joy, relief and gratitude flowed down my cheeks. I sat up and got out of bed with no pain! It was gone! I thanked God for this miracle and the wonderful gift of Reiki he had brought into my life.

Changed forever, I finished school and went on to be blessed to take mastership in Usui and Karuna Reiki®. This is but one of many of my blessed journeys with Reiki! Reiki
continues to bring miracles into my life each day. Sandra Mitchell
