I volunteer
with people coming from all walks of life meaning some do know the
benefits of Reiki, some don't, some are skeptical. The last 2 categories often
lead to interesting exchanges. For instance, one day at a Veteran
center we were offering Reiki to men and women who went
to Iraq or Afghanistan and are in
transition to their next assignments or next destination -- this tall,
confident men came in the room, looking at us and inspecting the room,
he asked "what are doing?" - we explained the benefits of Reiki and he could lay
on the table if he wanted to try. His answer took us a bit by surprise as he
said "Oh no! I am not laying on a table with only women in the
room...etc..". So we let him be -- however he was still circling the room and
obviously his curiosity was stronger than his fear. So a practitioner approached
him and offered him to sit on a chair - to give him Reiki. He agreed and as the
practitioner put her hands on his shoulders - we watched him slowly going
into himself - letting the energy flow inside himself. After 20
minutes (which probably felt an eternity to him). He opened his eyes, looked at
the room and said "wow..". That's all he said and left the room in a very quiet
demeanor.
As a practitioner - this
is the beauty of sharing a moment like this. Because you know - you helped this
person find a place deep down of peace and tranquility, a quality of attention
that we don't necessarily access in everyday life, especially
when experiencing stress and past traumas. This place is in all
of us -- it is a matter of being aware and letting ourselves experiencing these
moments.

When I first met JoAnne she was emotionally drained, felt
out of control and in a lot of pain. She had recurrent metastatic breast
cancer. The doctors weren’t optimistic and gave her about 2 months to live. The
first day of reiki made a remarkable difference. Her emotional state was much
better and her pain was greatly diminished. We decided on once to twice a week
sessions. She never missed a day. She
would come in fatigued and in pain. She’d leave with energy and feeling good. A
year...

about reiki in an unusual way, and since my discovery I have been helped by it
in so many ways.It was such a coincidence when i saw your business
card tacked to the wooden bridge behind our house. at first i thought it
was my own card because it had the exact same picture on it, and i couldn't
figure out how one of my cards ended up on the bridge. after i read
the message about reiki on it, i had to find out more about and came to one of
your reiki I workshops. after th... Continue reading...

Reiki works well with any illness. The other day while at
the senior center we had a gentleman come in with severe Parkinsons . He was
using a walker and his muscles were so stiff he couldn’t lay flat on the table.
The reiki session started and after about 5 minutes he began to noticeably relax.
By the end of the session he looked like he melted into the table. His muscles
were relaxed and moving with ease. He then got up from the table and walked
over to his wife. She was shocked to see ...

My name is Marina. I just love the gift of Reiki and I Reiki
anything and everything, including my manifestations and intentions.
One day, a friend of mine came over and we were manifesting and doing
our intentions inside a reiki grid....the dog came and sat right in the
middle of the reiki grid and a humming bird flew in and circled the
grid. The house had so much Reiki energy in it that 2 days later a
humming bird flew in and perched himself right over my Reiki grid and
spent the ...

We had a family of skunks move under our porch. We thought they were so cute
we started feeding them. We would watch them come out every night and eat. It
was great until they started bring their friends. I mean a lot of friends. So
we started trapping them and releasing them in the river bed. They were pretty
easy to trap. Every morning I would go out and place a towel over the trap.
That way I wouldn't get sprayed and the skunk would feel more secure. The skunks
would just lay there and l...

Makoto was my very first client. I was a level 1 reiki practitioner and ready to help. Makoto was a husky with end stage lung cancer. He couldn't sleep or go for walks do to pain and discomfort. He wasn't eating and was having a hard time just getting around his home. I started giving him reiki and he eagerly pulled it in. The next day I came back and his owner was so happy. Makoto was actually able to sleep that night. After the second day he started getting back some of his energy. He even ...
