Reiki Miracle Story
We built a new house in 2000. One month after moving in, our daughter was told to think of adopting since fertility pills weren't working. We moved my mother in a few months later. She needed a pacemaker in January of 2001 but was in the hospital a very long time. They said that she had six months to live because of untreatable leukemia.

A week before 9/11 our niece went to Tanzania as an exchange student. She contracted anthrax and was fighting for her life. The thing that broke the camel's back was that our choir director had been let go. I was a wreck.

A friend said that we should go to a class at the local community college and I should focus on something else. Reiki was offered on the same night as choir and so I picked that. The rest, as they say, is history.

We have two lovely grandchildren, and my mother is alive and very well. My niece married the guy who helped to save her life, and they just had their first child.

With each of them I did Level II long distance healing and never even touched them or told them that I was giving them a Reiki session. (However, I did ask for and got permission directly from the Higher Power to send distant Reiki to them.) Would these miracles have happened without Reiki healing? Only a Being greater than ourselves can say that, but I would never want to spend another moment of my life without it.—Mariellen Kish

Reiki in Prison
Hi everyone. I would like to start by thanking Laurelle Gaia and Michael Baird for giving me and several good men here the healing gift of Reiki. You have helped me greatly. Thank you.

Bodhisattva I am not. But I am a better person now that Reiki is a big part of my life. I was one of the blessed men who participated in receiving Reiki and were featured in the article entitled “Bodhisattvas Behind Bars: Reiki in Prison,” by Laurelle and Michael in Reiki News #14, Fall 2005.

I used to have so much anger and hate coursing through me. So much so that I was the man who was videotaped shooting at the White House. Yes, that “was” me. Now I’m feeling much better because I’ve learned to heal myself using Reiki and by helping and healing others.

It’s not a miracle. It’s about welcoming Love into our hearts and souls, then allowing that Love to show us the truth. After facing the truth of where the hate comes from, Reiki steps forward and the healing begins. Thank you Reiki.

After Laurelle placed her hands upon my head, I had a beautiful experience. As I was sitting there three angels appeared around me. I don’t even believe in angels, but there they were—one at each side of me and the third right behind me. I stood up and started to walk forward. Light from a thousand Suns received me as if I’d been lost. I was so overwhelmed that I started to cry as my soul filled with Love. And all this happened within mere seconds. Thank you Reiki.

Being in prison can sometimes “seem” dark and violent. But it’s not. We have the choice in “projecting” what we will. Through the use of Reiki I choose to heal and to project a positive and healing energy around the prison. I have honestly noticed a big decrease in violence since Laurelle and Michael gave us the gift of Loving Reiki Healing.

Lastly, my change is also physical. My health and energy have increased, and I’m in better physical condition than when I was nineteen years old and in the Army. I feel great! Thank you Reiki!

And thank you all, and thank you William Rand. Please take care and have a wonderful New Year! —Blessed be, Francisco M. Duran

Reiki Heals Back Pain
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. My level of energy, comfort and general clarity I attribute largely to Reiki within my every day life.

Reiki to the Rescue
My 19-month-old daughter grabbed hold of my piping hot tea and poured it all over her mouth, hands, arms and chest. She screamed from the pain and shock and stood frozen to the spot. My first instinct was to do Reiki. I didn't even have to do my usual invocation because it simply poured through me to her. I remembered that I could use my aromatherapy skills in combination with the Reiki. I found that as I worked the Reiki flowed all the time. It had not stopped until about an hour after the incident. The result is amazing. There is only a little red mark and swelling. We were very lucky as there is no soreness in the area and there will be no scar. I smile in love and gratitude for being a Reiki channel. Marcelle

But one afternoon, my beloved Fergus came home looking a bit sorry for himself. I couldn't detect anything wrong but he slept for a long time under the top cover on the bed. When he woke up his front leg had swollen up and I worried that he'd got an infected scratch. The next day was Sunday which I spent reading with Fergus either on my lap or next to me sending him almost constant Reiki. I was able to find the injury: it looked as though another cat had bitten either side of his forearm that was making his 'wrist' tender. I bathed it in saline solution and Reiki all day.

The following day I woke with the thought that we'd have to go to the vet unless he was walking properly again. Thankfully he was. Fergus came to me a few times that day for an extra Reiki boost. He recovered very quickly without infection.
