The Reiki Dojo

Following my blog about arranging a specific time for distant Reiki treatments (which I recommend to my students) I received a couple of lovely sharings from students in response to my question about their experience. They have agreed to me sharing them so here they are...

From Mike Hearn (2nd Degree student)

"When I agree to send reiki in response to a specific request I never tell them when it will come because I am always interested in their response. This year has been particularly interesting as it involved a broken wrist, 2 (palliative) cancers, problems with leg articulation following a knee replacement and a teenager recovering from a tricky leg operation. 

In nearly every case (except the cancers) the recipient told me when they experienced unexpected pain relief or easier movement and it always tied in to within the hour of sending.

Also they were often able to say when it wore off. Once I have established that it has been received beneficially, I then confirm that it matched and that I would always send at that time - typically between 6 and 7 am - depending on number of treatments needed on the day. These treatments were all fairly long term over 6 to 8 weeks and ceased only when the recipient felt it was no longer necessary.

You might be interested in the results:

Broken wrist - worked superbly, minimal need for pain killers and when cast removed surgeon very surprised how quickly it had mended; unfortunately it had been set incorrectly before being immobilised so it had to be broken again and reset.



Leg operation: Quick recovery, again need for painkillers (morphine) much reduced, scarring minimal.

Knee op: recipient rescheduled her exercise and traction exercises to coincide with my sending times.

Cancers: One case of oesophageal cancer coupled with major surgery with post-operative and near fatal complications - unexpected full recovery. Definite reiki win.

Second case: also similar but with bone and prostate cancers as well. Prognosis extended now possibly to years rather than months, treatment intervals extended. Main reiki result was psychological/mental attitude change in his partner. Stable situation."

I like the way Mike uses not telling people what time he will send the first treatment as a way of 'testing the connection' and then continues by sending at the same specific time, so that people know to expect it.

From Cheryl Deval (Reiki master and graduate of my Professional Reiki Practitioner Course)

"I just wanted to share an experience some years ago where I was facilitating remote healing for a child and at the exact time I'd started, the child stopped what he was doing and stood still staring ahead in a daze.

I learnt this after updating the parent that reiki had been 'sent'.

He remained like this for the ten minutes whilst receiving reiki which was quite scary for his parents.

Since then, I too have always arranged an agreed time for every reiki request."

I can see that Cheryl learned from this experience and now sees the value of arranging a specific time for Reiki to arrive.

What I also learned from experience is that Reiki will arrive at the perfect time for that person even if the agreed appointment time is no longer appropriate. For example if the person has fallen asleep, Reiki may wait until they wake up to arrive!
