Reiki Stories

Multiple Sclerosis
When I first met Jan she had been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis for the past ten years. She had spent long periods unable to walk during that time and her sight was often affected. We had done Reiki first degree on a one to one basis back in April and Jan had released a huge amount of emotional energy that she felt was holding her back.

She arrived at her Second Degree workshop along with 7 other woman, all of us totally unaware of what was going to happen. It was during the last session that I had planned to end with a good old healing session for each of the students. That's when the Universe took over and we found that the only person left was Jan. We had been working extensively on the Byosen and the location of Hibiki's in the aura, not long into the session, two students remarked that they had found a Hibiki which wasn't moving. Located in the solar plexus, it was quite probable that what they had discovered was actually the energy signature of her MS. I leant down and whispered in her ear "they have found the energy of the MS, what do you want to do?" She was definite in her request to get rid of it. After 40 minutes and 7 healers later and a good old dose of Karuna chanting I witnessed the biggest Hibiki I had ever seen being carried by 6 students and being sent up to the Universe.

Well that was in July, it's now December and Jan has remained symptom free since that day. Her medication is all but totally finished and she is living life to the full. Needless to say, she's booked in for her third degree. Sharon Carrington

Breast Cancer
Patricia Flucas was one of my students who was elevated to Master several years ago. Pat and I have been working with some breast cancer victims for the past couple of years initially on a regular basis but lately very intermittently.

One person was a level two with spots on the liver and lungs the other was a level three who underwent lumpectomies and radiation. Pat and I worked on both these women as a team- the condition was "hands on" because their condition was serious, with the appropriate permission and with me as both a support and adjunct energy source we worked on these women. Pat being a woman had no difficulty touching the breast; I did not touch the area. Both women have been in remission for the last two years, the individual with lung and liver involvement continues to have a clean bill of health from her Medical People. We believe we are in concert with the medical treatment consequently it's a combination of treatments which appears successful so far. Pat and I believe that the touching of affected areas becomes very necessary the more stressful and severe the problem, however we are also very aware of the invasiveness that may be perceived by some individuals so,,,, not only is verbal permission asked for but we also have written permission signed and dated; neither of us work alone with this type of patient as we have also found that since Pat is an Empath she sometimes requires assistance and support during the treatment session.

It is also critically important that a thorough preparation and meditation be done prior to treatment but the cleansing and grounding after treatment can't be postponed. It is a good idea
to allow at least an hour between these types of clients for your own wellbeing and protection. Alan M. Ronkin Ph,D

Prostate Cancer
This spring, a friend of mine was diagnosed with prostate cancer; he also had an inoperable growth in his urinary tract that couldn't be removed due to concerns the cancer would spread. Consequently, he had a catheter, was on medication to break up the growth and was waiting for radiation treatments to be scheduled.

I began to Reiki him bi-weekly giving him full body treatments for about 1.5 hours or so. After several sessions, I asked him if he wanted to become a Reiki channel and he agreed, so that he could give himself Reiki in between our visits. He reported that the Reiki gave him a lot of energy so that he could get household chores done.

When he began radiation treatments the Reiki helped him to sustain his energy and appetite. Nevertheless, the growth in his urinary tract still forced him to have the catheter which was beginning to become problematic causing spasms and severe pain. Each week the catheter was removed to see if he could urinate. He became discouraged and the doctor told him they might need to do a procedure to remove the growth. I told him to have faith and to continue with the Reiki and we would see what happens.

At what became our last session, I gave him Reiki and focused a long time on his bladder area. He had to get up a few times to empty his bag, which was unusual during our sessions. He noted that there appeared to be some tissue matter in his urine and we wondered if the growth was breaking up.

The following day, he went to the doctor and when the catheter was removed he could urinate. After many months of having this catheter in, he was ecstatic. His healing has progressed well since then.

As a Reiki practitioner since 1980 and a master since 2002, I am always amazed at how effective Reiki is to get the healing process in gear and ameliorate pain.
