Reiki Journal
For the past 14 years I have had the pleasure and honor of being a part of many Reiki healing miracles.
Since Reiki always works for the highest and best of the individual the
results may not always be what we want at that time ,but, what is needed
in the situation. Sometimes the miracles are small other times they are
huge and if we are grateful for them they turn into more. Check back for more entries I will enter them as I get the chance since I am always channeling Reiki, teaching Reiki or sending Reiki through distance healing and the situations bettered never cease. I am so Grateful to my predecessors who taught me and to my students for helping me to keep the process of natural healing ongoing......
* Just recently I was having tea with some friends when one of the ladies with us had mentioned that her hip has been really bothering her and she has not been able to do many activities she enjoys because of the pain. She knew I was a Reiki Master therapist and I asked her if she would like me to channel some Reiki to her hip which I did as we were all chatting. The next day we were all at an autumn celebration and I overheard her telling another woman that she couldn't believe how she could move and bend her leg up without any pain. I heard her telling this woman that I had done some Reiki to her hip yesterday and that today she felt so much better. She demonstrated that she had not been able to bend her knee up to her hip in months. This is par for the course with Reiki it can heal the energy field around an injured area and help the body to heal itself further. When my students call me to tell me stories such as this I just smile and say just wait and see this will happen more and more for you as you continue to do self Reiki and Reiki on others.
*Gunnar is a 3 year old boy (2011) who was born 3 months premature in
2008. He was given a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy at birth and his
parents were told that chances were not very promising that he would
have normal cognitive or motor functioning. I was assigned to his case
at his home when he was 4 months old (9/2008) after he had spent the
first 4 mos of his little life in the intensive care unit of a local
hospital. He was on oxygen via a nasal cannula with a portable blood
oxygen meter and had feeding problems. His parents were beside
themselves wondering how their son would fare at home and if they would
be able to care for him. Seeing that I would be his homecare RN and
knowing how beneficial Reiki can be I asked permission if I could start
Reiki on Gunnar and they said yes. They did not understand what it
was ,but, were willing to give it a try. I told his parents that I would
do everything I could to ensure growth for their son. I gave myself a
goal to have Gunnar off oxygen by April of 2009 if not before which
would have been 6 months after I started his care including Reiki.
Gunnar was off supplemental oxygen by the end of January 2010 (4 mos after starting Reiki). Knowing that
we could now gradually increase his physical endurance I would do his
prescribed exercises as well as channel Reiki to his brain and body for
balance and to relieve stress to the body from the
increased time given to physical endurance. His physical therapist said
that crawling would be to difficult for him to do. Knowing how
important crawling is to the development of both sides of the brain I
insisted that he crawl and set forth to teach him how with the help of
his parents and other caregivers. Gunnar now not only crawls he can walk
with the aide of a SWASH brace and is signing as well as learning to
form syllables. He is very smart and just a joy to his parents and his
nurses. He started going to school this summer 2011 and will soon not need nurses to care for him since the Reiki he has received, along with the medical /nursing care, for the past 3 years has been an exceptional aid in helping Gunnar reach so
much potential and will continue to help him. I will continue to provide updates on him even after his nursing visits end. Gunnar is one more miracle
of Reiki!
*Chris,
is a very active guy who loves to golf and play softball. Unfortunately
he had injured his knee and was scheduled to have knee surgery 6 weeks
after he first contacted me to try Reiki. I suggested that he come once a
week for 4 weeks to help him with mobility and to decrease discomfort
which is what we succeeded in doing. What we did not expect as the
result of his
Reiki
treatments was that he was able to cancel his surgery since his knee had healed itself with the application of Reiki. As was stated on my homepage Reiki has the ability to stimulate the body's own innate
healing ability. This case with Chris is a wonderful example of that in
action.
*Kate had contacted me because she was scheduled to have half of her
liver removed at a Boston Hospital. She had wanted to receive a Reiki
treatment after her surgery while in the hospital. I asked her if she
would like me to be with her in the recovery room and she said yes so I
called the recovery room nurse manager told her I was a nurse as well as
a Reiki therapist and asked her permission to be there when my client
came out of surgery. I was given permission to be in the recovery room
and while my client Kate was in surgery I sent her distance Reiki from
the waiting room. When Kate came to the recovery room she was in and out
of consciousness and in discomfort. She had many tubes and I.V.'s. I
started hands on Reiki right away and continued for 2 hours right up to
her hospital room. The next morning I came to see Kate at 10:30 am at
the hospital and I was amazed to know that she had already ambulated
down the hall, had all tubes removed except for one I.V. and had
required less medication than the nurses had expected. Another job well
done with the application of Reiki energy healing. Reiki speeds the
healing process and reduces the need for medication when surgery is
indicated.

A personal story I have been able to heal myself with Reiki from different ailments during
the time I have been involved in my practice of Reiki since it is a daily part of my life. I will be sharing many of them in my book which I am writing but for now I will
share with you my only surgical story that I have personally experienced
since I started my Reiki journey .... In February 2011 I developed
abdominal pain which at first I thought was indigestion. I had not been
bothered by this for a long time and normally could alleviate this with self
reiki and an antacid. For some reason this was not working which
concerned me. I continued to do self-reiki and the intense pain settled
in the lower right side of my abdomen and only hurt if I pressed on the
area. I continued self reiki to my abdomen and rested. After 2 days of
this, I then drove 2.5 hours to see my physician in Boston where I was
diagnosed with appendicitis. Except for the pain in the lower right
abdomen, I did not have the accompanying symptoms of appendicitis. I did
not experience nausea nor did I end up with other accompanying symptoms
of appendicitis. This I can attribute to all the Reiki I did to my
abdomen. Reiki kept the symptoms from becoming debilitating and also
maintained my physical body in a state where I could drive 2.5 hours to
see my own physician. I had my appendix out the following morning and
continued to do Reiki to the area of my surgery. I was discharged from
the hospital the next morning 2/16 took my last pain medication (Motrin)
on the morning of 2/18 and I was back in work at my nursing job 2 weeks
to the day of my surgery. At first the doctors had told me no lifting
over 10 pounds and no work for 6 weeks. I had always taught in my Reiki
classes and told my clients that Reiki can cut the time for healing up
to 50 percent and reduce the need for medication due to its ability to
speed the healing process. Now I had personally experienced the truth of it and up until now had only observed these findings with my clients. It was proven to me once more how helpful
the application of Reiki to any situation can be. So gentle and
natural is this energy which enhances the body's ability to heal itself.
* Reiki is very good at reducing the side effects of chemotherapy. I
have had many people contact me over the years to help them recover from
the side
effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Peg
was one of those people. She had a tumor on her thyroid and was
receiving radiation treatments. Her daughter had contacted me to do
sessions with her hands on as well as distance sessions. Peg did well
during her course of radiation her energy level stayed high she and did not suffer any pain or nausea.
*
A woman from the Northshore contacted me since she was having a course
of radiation at a Boston Hospital and was concerned about the intense
course causing burns and tenderness to her skin. I came to her room each
day after the dose of radiation and she was so grateful that the Reiki
kept her skin in good repair and she did not suffer any of the side
effects that she was told would probably accompany the extensive
radiation she was receiving. Reiki will go into the injured cells and
start repairing them from the inside out which results in a better
healing process.
Emotional Healing Journal:
I have mentioned only some of the cases I have been involved in that
have been helped with Reiki. What is very important to mention is the
emotional
component
to physical illness and how if we utilize Reiki therapy to address
emotional issues that in many cases we can get to the cause of these
issues so that the body can release them.
Linda came to see me because she had heard of my work with other people
she knew. She appeared rather uptight and not grounded when I met her
at her first session. I did an intake with her as I do with all my
clients. I scanned her body and found congestion in her liver area. She
had shared
with
me that she had been very angry and resentful of someone very important
in her life and this had been a longstanding resentment. She talked
about her feelings as I did Reiki to her body. She said that after the
session she felt a peace that she had not expected to be able to feel in
one session. She came back a week later for another session and the
Linda who came through the door was much different than the one I first
saw. She was calm and smiling. She told me that she had been writing in her journal as I had suggested and had been able to come to terms with some
longstanding resentment. I scanned her liver area and the congestion
had relieved itself. Anger and resentment can settle in the liver so
knowing this helped me to help Linda. I am so grateful that I was
introduced to Reiki 12 years ago so that I could in turn help others
help themselves.
Janet was diagnosed with breast cancer 7 years ago she had decided to undergo chemo and radiation. She also came to my Reiki clinic to give Reiki a try where I
would channel Reiki to her breasts. I had been observing that there seemed to be a correlation
between women who are always doing for others ( putting themselves last)
and the incidence of breast cancer in these women. In Louise L. Hay's book "Heal your body A to Z" she mentions the relationship between breast problems and putting everyone else first. I mentioned to my
friend what I had read about and told her to stop "breastfeeding the
world" which is exactly what she needed to hear. This is what women do when they
put everyone else before themselves and many times don't even get around to taking care of themselves. Janet said that she will always be
grateful to me for telling her this and by channeling Reiki to her. She has been cancer free for 8 years now.
We are
here to be self caring to ourselves as well as helping others when we can. This may be difficult when
a woman has small children, but, it is important to find the time to do
something nice for ourselves every day and to remind ourselves each
night before we go to sleep of all the wonderful things we accomplish
each day. Jack Canfield would call this the mirror exercise. So mirror
or say the things to yourself that you would say to a treasured friend if you
were trying to help your friend see all the great things about her. You possess those qualities also!
Distance Healing Journal:
When my Reiki Master Teacher John Harvey Gray first taught me how he sent a Reiki treatment, I must admit that I was a little skeptical at first since I still had my western views thinking cap on from my nursing training. When I took his second degree Reiki class and started sending Distance Reiki, as I was taught by John, to people with needs, it was amazing to me how these people would call me and say Marybeth I don't know what you did, but, my back feels better or I feel more calm and the list goes on and on. John told me that sending Distance Reiki works just as well as hands on reiki healing, for years now I have been convinced that he was so right! I channel Distance Reiki to clients several times a week with wonderful results. May I mention that anyone who is properly trained in Reiki and has reached the second level of Reiki can achieve good results doing distance Reiki. The key words are properly trained. By this I mean a qualified teacher who teaches their students to follow the Usui Principles and to channel Reiki to themselves and/or someone else everyday. The student has the responsibility to follow this advice if they want to maintain a good channel for self healing as well as healing of others. It is not rocket science one just has to be dedicated and willing.
As I mentioned I do several distance Reiki sessions every week so the individual stories increase all the time here are a few:
*A gentleman who has contacted me several times from Japan for emotional healing is a classic example of how one can achieve emotional balance without having to be in person with the Reiki practitioner/therapist. A few years back this man had contacted me for a distance Reiki session since he had received one before and he found it helped him. He had found me on the internet and was drawn to me from my site. We developed a distance Reiki healing connection and he will contact me once or twice a year for what he calls his Reiki tune- up!
*A woman from New England contacts me whenever she wants Reiki sent to members of her family for various reasons and she will contact me whenever there is a crisis that needs spiritual,emotional or physical healing. She has hired me for in person as well as distance Reiki depending on the nature of the Reiki need. The fact that people will contact me for distance healing over the years when needed proves how effective my distance Reiki is.
* A Man from Vermont who was coming to me for Reiki had also hired me to send him Reiki. He was surviving a diagnosis of Cancer and wanted to try Reiki to see if it helped him. It did. It gave him back energy he had been lacking due to chemo and he lived much longer than the doctors ever expected him to survive. During this time he was able to achieve relief from a pain in his back due to lung surgery that had plagued him for months before he started receiving Reiki. He received many Reiki treatments but 80% of them were distance sessions. John was right again! Thankyou John.
