Reiki Stories

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 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

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
