Reiki Stories

Cats and Cancer
My two cats go nuts more for Reiki than catnip. Our eldest cat TOBY, was diagnosed with kidney disorders and that without daily fluids and possibly an expensive surgery she would surely die painfully. This was back in 2004; at the time I as a Level 2 Reiki practitioner. I immediately began extensive Reiki treatments to the cat, which she very willingly accepted. In 2003 I attended William Rand’s Master teacher class in Glastonbury; One of the most magical moments in my life. Thanks William. Our final attunement was performed within the circle of Stonehenge. (Which leads to my second story...but let finish with Toby the cat first.) When I returned from England, that class shot my skills and connection with the source to an incredible height. I had been teaching as often as possible ever since. Toby the cat...is now 16, and prancing like a kitten. Whenever she’s having a low day, she jumps in my lap and claws my legs to let me know she wants Reiki. Then when she’s had her fill, she nips my fingers. It’s a wonderful bonding experience... and consequently the VET still can’t believe this cat is still alive. lol

The second story is not mine but is linked to my England visit with William. My traveling companion was Brian, who came to the same class too. His father was diagnosed with stage four lung cancers at nearly 80 years of age. His father had pretty much decided this was it, and refused treatment and hospice care. Brian stood between the gate stones of Stonehenge and sent long distance Reiki to his father...when he returned home to the states, he found his father in an amazing turnaround of health. With some more long distance treatments, (because his father wasn't really receptive of any treatment whatsoever) his dad had a complete remission, no cancer in his body anywhere. The doctors actually used the word Miracle. His father enjoyed four more years of healthy life until he finally succumbed to a heart attack.

These were just two stories of my experiences with Reiki, and more happen every day. However the most miraculous effects of Reiki healing are when I teach. Reiki loves being shared, and my students always write back saying "I don’t know how I lived without it!" Blessed Be. Rev. Matt Thomas, Reading PA.

Reiki Heals Tumor
Last year a friend of mine was told she had a small tumor in her throat. I asked if she was game for a Reiki session and she eagerly agreed.

I sent her distance Reiki for twenty minutes while she was resting. During this time a blue light appeared before me that traveled to the right side of her neck and went inwards. After the session my friend mentioned she felt warm energy and very relaxed. She asked if I had seen anything and I told her. The site where the blue light landed was the location of the tumor. Three weeks later she discovered when visiting her doctor that the tumor was gone. At the time I had my level two Usui Reiki. Maxine Kerr

Reiki and Arthritic Pain
I am a nurse and have many opportunities to use Reiki in my practice. I had a patient who had a cervical fusion due to arthritic changes in her neck. She was complaining of her hands hurting and it wasn't time for pain medication. I held one of her tiny crippled hands between mine. Within a minute she said her hand was warm and so was her other hand and both feet. These had been cold since the surgery and she was told they were always going to be that way. That was early on in the night shift and they were still warm in the morning. Thank you Reiki. Jean LaBore

Heart Healed
On 23 October 2001, my 60th Birthday, I had a heart attack. A few days later after an angiogram showed severe blockages requiring 5 by-passes and lots of scaring from previous heart attacks which I didn’t know I had. On the 1st Thursday of November I returned to where I had learned my Reiki and that night 10 people gave me a joint healing for ½ hour and again the following week, (there wasn’t much room for any more hands). Add on to that what my friend and I did I sure copped heaps of Reiki. On 10 December 2001, when I was opened up to get the By Passes, The surgeon noted that my heart had healed itself as the scaring was not there. My girlfriend and I couldn’t believe what he said. But we were very happy. I am convinced that it was Reiki that did the trick. I have since had the scaring re-checked from another angiogram and when I received two Stints into one of the new grafts as it had become blocked. Believe me, with what I have been through this news convinced me that Reiki is no scam. I am a true believer and I am now back to walking 3-4 miles every 2nd day in one hour. I will soon be doing my Masters and I will be out there spreading the power of Reiki to those who wish it. Reiki, Wonder Drug. John Lincoln
