Reiki Helps Car Accident Injury and Stroke
One day after my yoga class I witnessed a car accident where an older gentleman was thrown out of his jeep right on the cement sidewalk. He laid there without any signs of life, with a severely bleeding head injury. Without any thoughts or hesitation I parked me car and walked toward him. I started to give him Reiki, and gently moved his body to a safer place. I remember talking to him and sending a lots of Reiki energy to him, he gently opened his eyes and he smiled and thanked me. When the ambulance came I said good-bye to him and one man followed me. I turned around and he said that he witnessed angels around me and the injured man and asked me if I was a nurse. I should clarify also that before this occurrence I had tremendous fear of blood. Reiki just melted my fear completely away.

Well, a couple of months later I flew to Prague, Czech republic to visit my father. He was then 89 years old and lonely, since my mother passed away a couple of years before. One evening I went out with my girlfriend to very a beautiful art show and shortly after the show went home to be with my dad. I found my father under the table unconscious in a large pool of blood. Without any hesitation I started to flow Reiki to him and stayed very calm. I moved my dad to more a comfortable place and I was talking to him. My father opened his eyes, and with a gentle expression and confidence on his face he told that he knows he will be all right. At this point I called the ambulance. The results from MRI were pretty grim, major brain damage from the stroke. To make the story short, my father's mind recovered as I often joked with him that his memory was better than mine and he lived to be 91. I am so grateful to Reiki for all the love, courage, creativity, opening of my heart and joy that it brought into my life. Dascha Friedl

Practitionner Healed While Giving Treatment
I was on my way home to meet with a woman that was coming to me for her second Reiki session. A half-hour before she came I fell outside in the most stupid way and hurt my elbow badly. My mother was visiting me and is a doctor. She looked at the wound and said that I had to reschedule my client and go to the hospital immediately because the hole was all the way to the bone in a way that it could not close by itself. Even though I could hardly move my hand, something inside me told me that I should keep my appointment in spite of my mother’s advice. The minute my client layed down I could feel a tingling in my arm and without it even hurting me a bit I went on. After twenty minutes I started to feel a very strange and strong tingling in my hand that seemed to be moving towards my elbow from many directions inside myself then a very strong feeling that my hand was white, very white. This went on for 10 minutes and then it was gone. The client felt as good as ‘ten horses’ (in her own words) and went happily home after we had a long talk. After she left I took the big bandage from my elbow and lo! there was nothing wrong with it. It actually looked like it would after two months later of healing! My mother and husband didn’t have one word and I, even today, have a hard time grasping it. I thank the divine and send love to you. Embla Dís

Back Healed
Hi, my name is Ashley and I live in Townsville , Australia . I have been a Reiki practitioner for 2 years. Prior to that I was a police officer with back pain. My condition was such that my pelvis tilted and rotated backward, which in turn caused my spine to curve. This also caused neck pain and discomfort. I was attending chiropractic re-alignment 2-3 times per month. Six months after receiving Reiki and completing my first degree I have not been to a chiropractor since. I have since completed my second degree and look to commence my masters within the next few months. The level of energy, comfort and general clarity I attribute largely to Reiki within my everyday life. Ash

Reiki Helped My Friend Die
I just completed Reiki I as my best friend was dying from cancer. We stayed at her bedside for three days and nights. On the last night her husband was too tired to stay awake so he laid on the floor by her bed. I told him I would watch her and tell him if anything changed. She was in such pain and agony! As I sat next to her my hands began to get hot. I hadn’t been taught to use Reiki on someone who was dying but still I felt the need to use it. But how? I instinctively held her heart chakra for about 10 - 15 minutes then waited for 45 min. I did this throughout the night. After receiving Reiki she relaxed and seemed to move through the process easier. She finally made the transition at 6:30 the next morning. I felt that I had done the right thing but I still needed confirmation. The next day a friend of my daughters gave her a book to share with me. She heard I had just taken a Reiki class and she had one laying around. It was Baginski and Sharamon's Reiki, Univeral Life Energy. I took the book and it fell open to the chapter on "Reiki, help for the dying. It described holding a person's heart chakra to help the person leave this life in harmony and to open her up to what is to come. It was the reassurance I was looking for! I was thankful to have been given Reiki and its gifts at exactly the right time for me and my friend. Becky

Reiki and Surgery
I would like to share a recent Reiki healing story with you. My mother had surgery recently and she received her very first Reiki healing session prior to undergoing her operation. I asked her to just be open and accept the healing energy. She was so relaxed and felt the warmth of the healing energy within minutes of receiving Reiki. She said she felt extreme warmth over her abdominal area where she was to be operated. I was able to give her Reiki before she received any anesthesia.

After her surgical procedure was completed, she was so alert and she couldn't believe how clear her mind was after the surgery was over. My mother has had several surgeries in the past and never woke-up so alert and relaxed. She also required less anesthesia during her procedure which again proves that Reiki given before surgical procedures allows most people to receive less anesthesia which leads to a more alert patient. She shared her Reiki healing story with everyone from her pre-op nurse to her surgeon and was so grateful to have received the healing energy. I am so blessed to have Reiki in my life and to be able to share the gift with others. Blessings, Ingrid Byles
