A Few Minutes of Reiki, a Changed Life
Jessica Miller and Ilean M.
I (Jessica Miller) have been doing Reiki since 1992, and I continue to be amazed at what Reiki can do. It is not even, not everyone has fantastic results, and yet the amazing things happen so often, it is a wonder to see it. The people it helps most are often those that have tried many other things. As a general rule, the more things a person has tried beforehand, the more likely Reiki can help.
A recent healing night in Santa Monica was a case-in-point. I am stunned by how a few minutes of Reiki time, even during session introduction, can make a permanent and amazing change in their quality of life. This is why I keep doing Reiki.
Illean's story has all the elements that make Reiki so special. The person receiving had no expectation that anything would happen, certainly not so fast, Ilean had tried many medical and alternative modalities with limited success. I used a combination of Reiki and the body listening technique I teach in Reiki 2. The result was magical. She dropped from a pain level of 8 to 2 in minutes. By the end of the night it was not worth mentioning. The following month Ilean came to take Reiki training, then she wrote up her story. I have not changed a single word.
My Amazing Reiki Healing Night (by Ilean M)
I went to a Reiki healing night very skeptical since nothing seemed truly relieve the pain I experienced. I had a bad fall about 6 years ago and have had pain every day since then. I have been to physical therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture, and nothing seemed take the pain away completely. Please don’t get me wrong. All of those things helped me get less and less pain but nothing stopped it completely. The pain would set in again, maybe a little less intense, after several days, and remain until the next appointment. I had been putting a rolled towel between my neck and my pillow to sleep but still woke up with a certain amount of pain. I have also taken Chi Gong but that made my neck and shoulder worse. So I stopped doing that.
I arrived at the Reiki healing night and told Jessica the short version of my story. She asked me to sit next to her and allow her to talk to my body and work on me. To my surprise, within about 6 minutes my pain was gone! The pain has been gone for several weeks now and I no longer need the rolled towel under my neck at night. Every so often my neck and shoulders get cramped because I work on a computer all day at a stressful job but the pain lasts for only a short time after I stop using the computer and then goes away completely. I still go to the chiropractor because my hips get out of balance, not to handle pain. I still go to acupuncture but for stress, rather than for pain. My acupuncturist and chiropractor both thought Reiki would help me and it has.
