ARTICLE 2 - REIKI HELPING WITH PHYSICAL ISSUES

Reiki can help an awful lot with a physical issue, although it should be stressed that reiki energy has an intelligence of its own, and it will go where it is most needed.

It’s also important to stress that it isn’t a magic wand which will just clear away a physical issue. It can do, and a couple of the stories I have chosen to tell will demonstrate this, but physical healing doesn’t always happen for the following reasons:-

-        It can’t interfere with a soul decision. The soul of that person/animal may have chosen to go through a physical issue, either because of the lessons to be learned, or because they are using the wound/illness to either leave the physical body, or to go down a different path.

-        There is karmic clearing taking place.

-        There is a welfare issue eg. Food, water etc. which needs addressing.

-        The Soul contract the animal has with their caregiver may have an influence. For example, there may be something the caregiver has to learn from what their animal is going through or maybe it is leading the caregiver down a holistic path, or something which will be beneficial to the caregiver’s soul.

The belief about illnesses is now changing. Many now believe that the seeds of the illness take form in the energetic body, before materializing in the physical body. So doing energetic clearing/rebalancing work may not only avoid the physical issue from arising in the first place, but it will also undermine the energies on which the physical issues are dependent, hence giving the chance for healing to occur.

Over the years, when there has been something wrong with the horses, I have always backed up the veterinary work with reiki healing. These times, the vet has commented on how remarkably fast the healing occurred. It has led me to believe that reiki does indeed help accelerate the healing process.

There have been times, when the healing seemed miraculous. I have three stories to tell which demonstrate this.

I have chosen to tell three human stories (future stories will be mostly about animals), for the simple reason that the feeling/sensations felt by the recipient are added proof that something was happening. These stories also demonstrate the different ways you can use reiki ie. self healing, In person or at a distance.

STORY 1 – SELF-HEALING

The first story concerns some self-healing I did on myself.

I have benefitted massively from reiki over the years, and there have been a couple of times when I received a spontaneous healing. This was one of those times.

It was November 2023 and for two days I had felt the discomfort of a UTI. On the third day I was starting to feel ill with it. Seeing a nurse suddenly became of prime importance.

Sure enough, when I attended the doctors that evening, the nurse confirmed what I absolutely knew – my urine tested positive for an infection, and with blood in the urine too, she typed out a prescription for antibiotics. Only problem was, I would have to wait until the next day to pick them up because the chemist was now closed.

Arriving home I felt a tad fearful. Doing a wee was extremely painful, and I was starting to feel pain in my sides. Could it be travelling to my kidneys?

I decided to pull out all the stops, giving myself a deep, reiki session. It is normal for me to call in my spirit guides and angels to empower the reiki, but this time I tried something I had never done before. Intuitively, I decided to call in Archangel Raphael (the healing angel) and ask for him to take over my body and clear out the infection. It wouldn’t hurt to try. I had nothing to lose!

As I sat eating my tea, there was a feeling of a breeze blowing behind me, which I could feel moving through my hair. I thought nothing of it; probably just air from the radiator behind me. Oh, how the mind loves to give you logical explanations!

However, when I was sitting on the settee away from radiators, windows and doors, and I could still feel that breeze blowing around me, my mind began to question what could be happening. Then I started to feel a really strange sensation moving through my body. The closest I can come to describing it is like the feeling of pins and needles, but somehow it was different and I had never felt anything like it.

“Could this be Archangel Raphael taking over my body?” I wondered. The only way to be sure was to see whether the UTI cleared up. I did note that I was feeling a lot better and there no longer seemed any symptoms.

Going to the loo before bed, I was amazed to discover that there were no symptoms whatsoever. There wasn’t even a twinge of discomfort. I felt completely normal. The awe and gratitude I felt was just off the scale.

The normal continued and when I tested myself, I was completely clear.

I did return to the doctors two weeks later, just to find out the results of the bacteria which had been cultured. “Yes, there was bacteria, and the antibiotics prescribed were the right ones to clear it up,” the nurse stated. How could I tell her that I hadn’t taken even one of them.  Probably best to keep my mouth shut!

With bacteria having been confirmed as present, the healing which occurred within an hour of me carrying out the reiki is nothing short of miraculous!

STORY 2 – IN PERSON HEALING

In 2024 my 89 year old dad suffered with an ulcer on his toe; made more problematic by the fact he is diabetic.

Weekly podiatry visits had to be fitted into my diary. From the very first visit, we were told that it could take nine months for it to heal, as the diabetes makes it difficult for the blood to reach the toes which is needed for healing to take place .

We proceeded to visit the podiatrist every week for the next three months. She was very despondent. There was no improvement, and she warned us that dad may have to put up with this until the end of his life.

Then the idea came to me that I should be spending ten minutes every day sending reiki to his toe. I couldn’t believe that it hadn’t occurred to me before! I think losing mum just a few  months before, had sent my brain into a bit of a spiral.

I put the idea to dad who was all for it. He too is attuned to reiki 1, so he doesn’t have the blocks to it like a lot of people.

The first day of carrying out reiki, dad was amazed at the intensity of feeling in his toe. Even though I wasn’t touching it, he could feel very strong energy moving through it. Subsequent days, he felt like I was massaging it. Other days, he felt intense heat. Most of the feelings were in the first few days and then they reduced to nothing.

When we attended the podiatrist appointment five days after I started doing the reiki, she remarked on how much better it looked. She stated that this was the best she had seen it.

Two weeks later, to the astonishment of the podiatrist, it had completely healed.

I just felt so guilty that I hadn’t done reiki on it in the first place, and reprimanded myself for it. Dad, who is such a generous and loving man, pointed out that if I had done it in the beginning and it worked, then we wouldn’t have attributed it to the reiki, because we would have just put it down to the podiatrist’s work.    

STORY 3 – DISTANCE HEALING

When my friend had her back operation in 2024, I agreed to do distance reiki on it every night.

My friend is attuned to reiki 1, so like my dad, she doesn’t have the blocks to it.

Every night for a week or two, I sent reiki at a set time every night, and my friend would lie on her bed, soaking it up.

She reported feeling a sense of warmth in her back, and she felt complete peace and calm.

Not only did her back heal remarkably quickly, but when she visited the physio and reported that she was not experiencing any sciatica pain, he wouldn’t believe her.He explained that it takes eighteen months for the sciatic nerve to calm down, and he hadn’t had a single patient until my friend, who had no sciatic pain after their operation.

Both my friend and I are convinced that it was the reiki healing which resulted in such an incredible outcome.

In future Articles, I will share many other ways where reiki can benefit our animals.
