Reiki Zaps Kidney Stone
In July of 2008, I was experiencing severe pain in my abdomen and my doctor told me to get to the emergency room. After x-rays and a cat scan, it was confirmed that I had a 7mm (that's big!) kidney stone and I was sent to an urologist. I was given some heavy-duty pain medication, told that I was going to endure severe pain, and given a strainer to catch the stone when it came out. I did not take the pain pills. That night, I lay awake with discomfort and it occurred to me that I did not need to be a helpless victim. I gave myself Reiki, concentrating on the pain area, with the intention that the kidney stone be blasted into a million pieces. That relaxed me, and I soon fell asleep. In the morning my pain was gone and has never returned. My next appointment with the urologist was still five days away, so I continued trying to catch the stone, but it was gone. The urologist took more x-rays, and seemed amazed that it had vanished and that I had no pain. That was four months ago, and the pain never returned. Paul X McKinley

Back Pain and Hand Healed
One of my colleague's friends had very bad back pain and could not go to work, even after medical treatment. I asked him whether I could help him with Reiki and after treating him for 5 minutes he started walking and the next day attended his work. Also one of my friends had a muscle catch while playing cricket and could not lift his hand. I gave him a Reiki treatment and within 5 minutes he was alright. He was astonished about how it happened. He was suffering for one week and wished he had come earlier. I give Reiki treatments for all my friends with 99% success. Thanks to my teacher and Reiki for giving me this power. I wish for all to experience a peaceful and painless world. Suresh K. Shetty

Chicken Healed
Some years ago, my daughter and I went to see our horses at the boarding facility. We noticed that the chickens were not doing well and it appeared no one was feeding them. So we bought feed and made sure they had food and water. Then one cold winter day, we checked on them and found one black chicken apparently dead. I picked up the chicken to dispose of it but my hands told me there was still a faint heartbeat. We took the chicken with us and I did Reiki while my daughter drove the car. When we got to her home, I was feeling some life and continued to give Reiki. When the chicken was obviously alive, we put her in a bird cage with food and water. My daughter kept her in the house. Within a few days she was chirping and back to normal. We gave a week with Reiki in the house, then we returned her to the chicken pen. As a side note, we removed all those chickens and gave them to someone who gave them freedom to range and a better home. It is amazing how precious life is and how we want to help life survive, no matter what the species. Shirley Wolf

Reiki Heals Ear Infection
A few years ago I had this lady come to me for a Reiki treatment. Not knowing of her condition I began my session, but while working around her ears noticed something terribly wrong around her left ear. After completion of the session I inquired if she had something wrong in that specific area. She told me she was scheduled for surgery the following morning because of an inner ear infection that doctors had been unable to correct after a number of months of treatments. She went back to the hospital that night and the next morning she called saying the surgery had been cancelled because sometime during the night while sleeping her ear had broken open, and whatever was inside had run out onto her pillow. The doctors had no explanation, but she said she knew it was because of the Reiki treatment. She went on to say that after the treatment something started moving inside her ear, and she had a peaceful feeling that she had never experienced before. John Prior

Getting Reiki into a Hospital
As a new Reiki Master, I was eager to share Reiki with everyone. Without knowing there were actually limitations, I charged forward and approached our hospital oncology center with the idea of establishing a Reiki evening for their patients. After a one-hour presentation, they whole-heartedly accepted! After I received the news and shared it with other hospital personnel, I was told it should have been impossible to establish a Reiki share due to hospital policy. Well, Reiki came through anyway!!! We are in our sixth month of once-a-month free Reiki for cancer patients, and our patient load has tripled, to the point of having to move to a larger space within our medical center. Our volunteers have been dedicated, and all of them admit that they possibly gain more peace and comfort than the patients who receive Reiki. What a gift Reiki has been in my life and the lives of those who share Reiki with others. Patricia Scheder
