What is Reiki?

As a way to begin to demonstrate the power of vibration and intent, I would like to share a very personal experience I have had with Reiki. My mother contracted breast cancer several years ago. Despite an operation to remove the cancer, however, it still spread to her lymph nodes. While my mother was in the hospital for removal of her lymph nodes, she was offered Reiki sessions from me, and also from hospital volunteers, both before and after the operation.

After her operation, and a few sessions of Reiki, the doctor asked her how she was feeling. He wanted to know about her pain level, as this is often quite a painful operation. My mother then described to the doctor that she had NO pain at all under her arms, or anyone else, despite having just been through lymph node removal (no pain pills). The doctor smiled, shook his head, and said, “Wow, I hope I can do that again.”

There are other wonderful and amazing stories to share, such as fibromyalgia lifting in one session,, pink eye going away in 2 minutes (mine!), an ankle operation being cancelled after one session of Reiki, and more, but the one of my own Mother touches me deeply. She is now cancer and pain free, thanks to the integration of both Eastern and Western medicine.

I am posting the following Reiki article by Libby Barnett below, in response to the questions some of you are asking.

WHAT IS REIKI? (Excerpt below by Libby Barnett, M.S.W.)

Reiki (Ray-Key) is an ancient, gentle, hands-on healing art that helps you feel better and heal better. Dr. Usui, a Japanese Christian educator, rediscovered this healing method in his study of ancient Tibetan texts. You can use Reiki to facilitate deep relaxation, relieve pain, and promote healing and personal growth. Reiki stimulates your body’s innate healing resources, encouraging a return to wellness.

Reiki means Universal Life Force – the healing energy of the universe. The attunement ceremony empowers you to transmit Reiki energy through your hands. Once attuned, you have this ability for life and can use this healing energy to promote balance and harmony on all levels of your being.
What Makes Reiki Unique?
Reiki is a complete system of self-healing.
Reiki blends easily with and enhances all healing methods.
Reiki is very simple and can be immediately implemented on yourself and others.
Reiki gently releases old emotional patterns.
Reiki is an effective tool to overcome the pressures of career, relationships, parenting, and finances.
Reiki enables you to access your own inner wisdom and creativity, as well as expand your consciousness and spiritual awareness.

Libby Barnett is a gifted Master Teacher of Reiki. She is also the author of a book entitled, “Reiki Energy Medicine,” which can be ordered from her website http://www.reikienergy.com.

Much love to you all, Wendi

Hospitals Offering Reiki

Below is a wonderful list of hospitals that DO offer Reiki and other complementary modalities. Many strides have been made to integrate the Eastern and Western modalities of healing.

I have decided to send this list to our hospital here in Las Vegas, St. Rose. The Las Vegas Diocese made the decision to remove Reiki from their “integrative medicine” services being offered. It was the decision of the Diocese I was told, and they have no plans to reinstate this modality.

St. Rose still offers Reflexology, Herbs, Hypnosis and massage. I am happy they still have what remains, but am frustrated that this has occurred. I believe there are always solutions, so I shall focus on that, but thought others may be interested in the hospitals that have these services, often for free to patients.

My mother, who had breast cancer, was given Reiki both before and after her operation when she was at a CT hospital to have her lymph nodes removed. She told the doctor after the lymph removal that she had NO pain, which is quite unusual. The doctor’s response was, “Wow, I hope I can do that again.” He was a wonderful doctor, and my intention is only to advocate that there be an integration of the two or more types of medicine – primarily East and West.
My mother is now cancer and pain free, and the integration of both types of medicine allowed her to be less stressed and more comfortable throughout the process. The Reiki volunteers in the hospital were wonderful.
