Reiki Helps Shingles Pain
I have been a Reiki Master for about 4 four years. A friend of one of my clients, who is almost 80 years old, stated that she had been suffering with the pain of shingles (with several outbreaks) for many years; she stated that she also has osteoporosis and arthritis. She came to me requesting a Reiki session, wondering if it would help with her unbearable shingle pain. The area of her shingles outbreak at that time was behind her right knee, but she had had a severe outbreak on her right chest and back several years earlier and still suffers the post-shingles pain there also. She told me that not one day goes by that she doesn’t have some kind of pain, and that she does not like to take any pain medications. During the session she pulled such energy through me that my hands and wrists became red hot! After the hour-long session, she stated that for the first time in a long time...she had " “absolutely no pain ANYWHERE . " ” . I spoke with her later and asked how she was doing. She stated that she continued to have " “no pain for 2 two weeks " ” following the session, and that the area of breakout subsided quickly. She told me that she shares her experience with Reiki with all her friends. Jana

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 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, making it necessary for us 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

Reiki Heals Ear Infection
A few years ago a lady came 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 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 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
