Stories of Rei-ki Healing from our Graduates

Two old ladies were really handicapped with arthritis, effectively immobilised by their painfully stiff joints. Every alternate day, I treated them with rei-ki hands-on. One reported that afterwards, she slept better than she had for a very long time, and the other felt that her knees were particularly warm and comfortable that day. After the first week of treatment, they could go to the bathroom without family assistance, and by the end of the second week they were enjoying shopping and a short walk around their gardens.

It was a privilege to give rei-ki and help such old people enjoy simple pleasures, which we all take for granted.

While holidaying in my own country, Brunei in the Northern tip of Borneo, I was called to give assistance to a desperately depressed young woman in the 20th week of pregnancy. Her doctor had prescribed six different types of antidepressants and sedatives, which had not helped her. She felt suicidal, was contemplating termination of the pregnancy (after ten years of trying) and rei-ki was a last resort.

Her husband requested to be present, as he was skeptical, yet she slept through the first hour of treatment and had a good night's sleep for the first time in months. Her husband offered to pay me to give his wife rei-ki daily, but I was happy to do so voluntarily and, after two weeks of receiving rei-ki on alternate days, she felt her tensions and depression were slowly easing away and she started to enjoy her pregnancy. Now she and her family want to learn rei-ki.
