Treating Cancer Patients with Reiki

An interesting 2 year study was done at Univ of Connecticut /Dept of Surgery regarding healing with hands therapy, Therapeutic Touch. Very similar to Reiki, the study showed sweeping a patients energy field twice a week for just two weeks stimulated the growth of healthy skin, tendon and bone. Human touch has the capacity to affect cell growth and stimulate healing potential. This therapy did not stimulate sick cell, cancer to grow-in fact it decreased abnormal growth. This study will be supportive for us Reiki therapists who treat people with cancer-we are good for them! Blessings, Sharon

Reiki for the Priest

As the Catholic Church forbids Reiki I would like to speak up on this issue-not all priests and nuns agree. I personally know nuns who practice Reiki and also I provided 10 sessions for a Catholic Priest early this year. I am writing my third book now, "Miracles From Mars, Reiki Encounters of the 3rd Kind ," in which there is a story of remarkable sessions where Father Johns inoperable brain tumor massively improved. This book is not about ETs but the uncanny Reiki sessions right here on Earth. By the way, Cancer Centers of America recommend Reiki and do it in the hospital, They also recommend patients get Reiki in between cancer treatments. Their agenda is actually holistic-I'm impressed. Any input from you folks-what are your thoughts and any uncanny sessions you want to share?

mind and body

A few years back Dana Reeves hosted a program called, "The New Medicine.' It explored the use of Reiki, acupuncture and other holistic healing modalities. It also showed that just using guided imagery -seeing yourself overcoming the medical ailment in your mind's eye made significant chemical and physical change in the body. Guess why these modalities, especially visualization is not used in American hospitals?? Lame excuse!! It does not fit into the schedule of the hospital day-the day is already full of labs, tests, Dr visits, meals, PT and OT appointments and coordinators don't know where to fit it in. What do you think of that one!

Reiki, The Immune System and Stigmata

I have recently read information about the effects of immunity on stigmata, a most fascinating topic. Stigmata is a condition where a person bleeds at the crucifixion sites where Christ was wounded-hands, feet and forehead. The bleeder often identifies with Christ suffering so much they reenact his tortuous event. A National Geographic team has studied the latest stigmatic(only 350 since St Francis in 1220) After drawing blood for examination in the lab, the team discovered the stigmatic "wounds himself, keeps the wounds from getting infected, and heals himself"-all within his/her internal immune response system-all done in the sub conscious!! The Geographic team discovered our own immunity can wound us and heal us. This has brought much insight into prominent auto immune diseases as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Diabetes, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis and fibromyalgia(self destructive disorders). Since Reiki brings immunity into balance-effects thymus, bones and stress hormone response, I see it as a state of the art therapy for disease of this kind. My greatest wish as an RN and Reiki Master is to see Western medicine fully embrace mind-body medicine and "start this new practice now." How about you? What are your thoughts?

Dr. Usui, Reiki founder, made Sacrifices

I recently had a Japanese student who pointed out we Americans do not understand Japanese culture. She was born and raised there and informed me about Japanese secrecy: they are a subdued society where free speech is often curbed. She said Dr. Usui shared Reiki secrets with the general public-a real "no,no." Because he had Reiki Masters from outside his disinterested family, he was shunned by his children and suffered emotional punishment He gave up family tranquillity in exchange for getting Reiki into the world where it was needed.I honor him for all his compassion, sacrifice and efforts.

It's definately ancient

A few months ago I was able to go on a most awesome trip-to the interior of Alaska. An incredible event took place in the tundra, just 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle where our bus trip concluded and came to a halt. There on Inspiration Point I was able to speak with an Athabaskan Inuit about her tribe's views on "healing with Hands"or energy healing. As a golden eagle flew over our heads, she confirmed that they have been healing with hands for thousands of years-- it is revered and valued work. She verified what I had read...healing with hands is ancient and the oldest form of healing known to human kind. Has anyone read or witnessed other cultures using Reiki or related techniques? Please comment.

Reiki is awesome

Reiki is definately an important part of my life-how about you?
