Reprinted from the Reiki News Magazine Winter 2014 issue
If you have taken a Reiki class or thinking about it and are not yet familiar with the Reiki News Magazine, I am here to say, this is a wonderful resource not to be missed out on. I have stacks and stacks of these magazines that I keep through the years and reread. Plus I have them available for check out in the Rain Shadow Reiki lending library.
Here is a story of physical healing and determination to not give up on both the part of the Reiki Master and the client. This, I believe is a great story to show that with Reiki, time, determination and patience, Reiki can heal us on all levels. Reiki healing happens at the right time for each individual person. We are not all meant to have instant miracles, but I believe with continued effort, we can get our miracles in different ways and times. I pray it gives you some ideas about what is possible with Reiki.
Blessings, Josslyn
Reiki Stories from the Reiki News Magazine
Most of the stories in this section of Reiki News Magazine have been documented by before and after medical tests and the observations of licensed health care providers. Please note that while Reiki can cause miraculous healing, it does not always do so. However most patients receive some level of healing with the minimum benefit being relaxation and stress reduction. If you have medical or psychological condition, it is recommended that you use Reiki in conjunction with the help of a licensed health care provider.
Reiki and Epstein-Barr/Fibromyalgia
I have suffered from the Epstein-Barr virus and Fibromyalgia pain since I was 19 years old. I will be 39 in May. I have seen so many doctors and have had so many tests and scans. I’ve been on so many medications over the past 20 years — until recently I was taking 90 mg of morphine three times a day. Upon waking, I walked like I had polio. It hurt to sit, to stand, to walk. I would not shake hands with anyone because of my hand pain. My joint pain was the worst; every joint hurt all the time. I would wince just to bend my arm. I felt like this even while taking the morphine. I also had three vertebrae fused in my back a year ago. After the surgery the discs above and below the fusion were bulging, causing additional pain. The morphine helped very little and I prayed to die just to end the pain I endured each day.
Reiki stopped all of the pain with the help of a wonderful Reiki Master, Susanna Glaze!!! It took approximately four months. I had two treatments a week. Each treatment lasted 1.5 to 2 hours. She did this and never asked for anything in return. I did bring her crafts and art to trade for the Reiki treatments, and she always said it was too much. I now pay her and it will never be enough because my pain is gone and I am off all morphine. My life has changed so dramatically in the last four months. My husband is astounded. My friends can hardly believe this miracle. They are all grateful and no one is as grateful as I am. I have healed physically, emotionally and spiritually. I could not have done this without the love and compassion of my good friend Susanna. She taught me that the true meaning of Reiki is love, and there is nothing like the healing human touch. Susanna is now teaching me Reiki and to honor its tradition and history. I wish more people knew that Reiki really works. — Danielle Wise, Carlsbad, N.M.
“Several reasons can explain why the Reiki power has been able to bring the world together. The most obvious of all is that it is so simple. In Dr. Usui’s own words, ‘everyone can learn and practice Reiki.‘ The second reason is that Reiki brings results. The results are the healing of the physical, mental, and emotional bodies with all their states of pleasure, pain, health, and disease. Reiki heals the present, as well as the past and the future. It heals the healthy and the sick, the wealthy and the poor, and the young and the old. It heals the Hindu, the Christian, the Buddhist, the Muslim, and the Jew – no matter where they live and what they do. Reiki has transcended these divisions and brought together all religions, races , and people who live and love across the vast expanses of this planet.” Frank Arjava Petter in “The Spirit of Reiki”
Years ago, before we had kids, my husband and I for fun, yes for fun, would drive over an hour to the valley in Southern California to go see a British medium named Brian Hurst. (I have his books in my lending library, one of them is “Heaven Can Help.” Come check it out, it’s great.) He worked out of his home. One Saturday night a month he opened up his home to about 40 people for a group reading evening. (I believe he still does this, check out his website for HOW to get in on it.)
Please, please, please don’t ever attempt a seance without a well experienced and qualified medium or psychic to help you. As well as, do not do anything of a spiritual nature without calling on your Divine Source of Love and Light first. This is very important.
Seances
Some people call them seances but I’ve never felt comfortable with that term. Having a reading has never been for me like they show in the movies with all the costume and drama. I don’t much care for that image of mystics from the movies personally other than at Halloween and on board walks while on vacation at some hoaky touristy place. At Brain’s we all sat in fold up chairs in rows with him at the front, in his living room/dining room combo, just talking to whoever came though for the loved ones in the room. The more vocal spirits usually came though first. It was quite normal to us.
To get a seat to this event you had to call far in advance and only on the first day of each month at a certain hour for only one hour. I believe he still does it this way so people are not calling him all month-long. You must follow this procedure for a reservation because he fills up quickly and he sticks to it. For a small amount of money (I don’t remember how much it was, but I’m thinking around $20 a person) you could go to a medium reading session and maybe get a personal reading or maybe not. But, personal sessions are expensive and if you didn’t have the money or want to spend that, this was a great deal. And better yet, a great experience. I can say, it was always interesting and healing for me.
Comic by John Crowther, it’s important to have a sense of humor about these things.
An Uplifting Event
We often took friends or other family members, some were believers some were not sure. Most were won over by the time we left. Since Robert and I had already had private readings prior, we mostly went to hear the other readings. I went to hear the stories of love and life. You might think that going to talk to people who have died would be depressing. To me it was always the exact opposite. To me I left feeling better about the world, less weighed down, with less fear of dying myself and usually feeling quite uplifted and lighter. Most of the readings were about love. These loved ones who had passed on to what I call Heaven were coming to this man to send their message of love and survival beyond the earthly plane. To me, how could that be anything but uplifting?
The Reading that Changed My Life
But, one night, I heard a reading that changed my life in ways I had no idea until today when Divine told me it was time to write about it. The reading that left an imprint on my human self and gave me direction without even knowing it.
One Saturday night we were there listening to the readings. Brian came to read a man, I’ll call him Ted. He was to Brian’s left in the front row of the dining room area and we were to Brian’s right in the back in the living room area. We could see Ted from the front where usually we saw many people’s backs as they spoke. Ted was an attractive black man in his early thirties, and when he stood up I noticed he was very tall with very large hands. He could have seemed intimidating to some, being that he was so tall but he had a very humble and gentle appearance to me right off the bat. He was shy at first, as many are when they believe they will have a loved one come though to them.
The deceased loved one who came though turned out to be not a relative or a significant other, but a client of this man. He was an elderly man who had died from cancer and Ted had been his massage therapist. But, he was more than a massage therapist as Brian went on with the reading. The deceased client was thanking Ted for his compassion, his healing and his friendship. They had worked together for the whole time frame that this man had been fighting the cancer and went to Ted for stress relief and relaxation. The two men had become friends and obviously good friends to the end if this man came to Brian to talk to him. His gratitude for this man and his friendship was overwhelming. Many in the audience were tearing up including me. It was a reading to remember for sure even without what happened next. For me, it was the reading that changed my life.
Healing Heat in Your Hands
It doesn’t feel this hot most of the time, but you get the idea.
Brian relayed the elderly man’s message with tenderness as he always did. He said to Ted that when he would do massage on his client his hands would heat up and healing energy from God would come though his hands. The client in Heaven was telling Ted this. I was astounded. I was amazed that this man had healing in his hands and didn’t even know what it was. Ted said he had felt it now and then too but didn’t know what it meant. The elderly man who had passed, went on and on about how the healing in this mans hands had helped him though many difficult nights when he couldn’t sleep due to pain from the cancer and that after his massage sessions with Ted he could sleep again and the pain would be gone. I remember thinking “Wow, how amazing that would be to have heat in your hands and be able to heal.” I felt like the man had magic in his hands, and he did. He now knew too and I often wonder what he has done with that knowledge.
Life Goes On
Not long after those sessions at Brian’s, my husband and I had children. I was in a whole other chapter in my life and being a healer was not on my mind at all. I forgot about Ted and his story but I did pray often to Divine Source to give me a gift to help others and heal myself. But I had no idea in what form that gift would come, or if it ever would. I prayed for this for years while I raised my kids and worked on healing my depression that was still hanging around.
The Divine Reminder
It wasn’t until a few weeks ago that Divine reminded me of this story and how I had felt at the time. I had felt like Ted had magic in his hands, Divine Magic. I had thought that would be the best gift in the world and now, here I was, with that exact gift.
Heat in My Hands
Yes, my hands heat up, they also get cold when they need to, they also tingle, vibrate and feel energy as others feel a cat’s fur, naturally and often without thinking about it. But, no matter how long I have this ability, this gift from God, I never forget how lucky I am to have had my prayers answered. I never forget that I have heat in my hands and can help other people and that I have Divine Source to thank for that, along with the determination that he/she granted me with. And, I don’t forget to thank God for this gift each and every day, each and every time I use it and more times in between. It’s more than just thanking or being grateful that I feel. I feel the gratitude deep down to my soul so severely sometimes that I weep because I can’t believe God has given me this gift. It is the best feeling in the world and it helps me feel close to our Creator in ways I never have been before I had this gift of Reiki. To me this is my passion and without knowing what I was praying for, I got the very best gift I could have ever asked for.
Super Flying Healing Mom
Super Mom can fly, heal and teach! Cook? Who said anything about cooking?!
When my kids ask me what kind of super powers I would want if I were a super hero, after flying being my first choice (come on, who doesn’t want to be able to fly like a bird) I say “Of course, I’d want to be able to heal people.” My kids say “Mom, you already do that. Pick something else that you can’t do yet.” Because truly, in all the world, I can’t think of anything else I’d rather do than help people heal themselves though Divine’s love. Can you?
Anyone can learn Reiki. Anyone can be a healer. Anyone can learn Reiki and have heat in their hands. Through our Divine Source and with Reiki, I can teach you. After all, being able to TEACH people to heal is my next choice of super powers and I can do that too. At this point in my life I feel I couldn’t be more blessed than I already am. Thank you God for your many, many blessings!

Heavenly Grass
“My feet took a walk in heavenly grass.
All day while the sky shone clear as glass.
My feet took a walk in heavenly grass,
All night while the lonesome stars rolled past.
Then my feet come down to walk on earth,
And my mother cried when she give me birth.
Now my feet walk far and my feet walk fast,
But they still got an itch for heavenly grass.
But they still got an itch for heavenly grass.”
Tennessee Williams
One Journey Ends, Another Continues
Two days after I finished my ten-day fruit and vegetable cleanse for better health and cleansing my system, I was standing on the grass, drinking my lemon water in my back yard. This has been my morning ritual since I started the cleanse. As I felt the earth beneath my feet, grounding myself to the energy Mother Earth generously offered, I was contemplating the journey of the cleansing process and how I was feeling. I started the cleanse to try something new to heal myself. I have suffered from multiple chronic illnesses much of my life and am consistently searching for the puzzle pieces to healing my physical body, while at the same time living my life, working being a wife and mom. To read the goals of my cleanse go to my second blog.
Back to the Grass
I was contemplating the journey of the cleansing process and how I was feeling afterwards. I was a bit down because I still felt tired, I still felt unmotivated and I had some high hopes that I’d be feeling better after the cleanse. Many people have told me that after day three, you feel great. Not the case for me. This has been a long healing trek for me so I knew it would take more than just a ten-day cleanse to help me heal completely, but I had hoped that I’d feel a little better when it was done. I was also aware that I was feeling the low of just finishing a big project and wondering where to go next, what was the next step? (details of the cleanse results at the bottom of the blog)

Motivation
Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead is a documentary about two men’s healing journey from severe immune system illness to extreme health in 60 days of juicing. This movie has motivated many people, including me. They have an amazing website with 5 day, 10 day and 15 day full cleanse diets by a nutritionist. I used their ten-day diet.
In the movie, “Fat,Sick and Nearly Dead” one of the women who did the ten-day cleanse, because she was having migraines regularly, said after her cleanse “I have the energy of a 21-year-old!” I have to admit, THAT statement stuck with me. WOW, I want the energy of a 21-year-old I thought. I knew my health issues were more complicated than hers but this statement motivated me and still does, to keep going. But, unlike her, I didn’t feel like a 21-year-old. I felt tired, still. A common problem with chronic fatigue and depression. I knew the only choice was to keep going. I knew I was on the right track, I just needed to keep moving forward with the juicing and eating as many fruits and vegetables as possible. But, after years of doing this, it gets a bit daunting. I was having a hard time staying motivated. Cue my animal message.

Cue the Hummingbird, Stage Left
The hummingbird had no marks of color.
As I stood there in the middle of my yard contemplating this, a hummingbird flew right up to my face and hovered there for what seems like a very long minute or longer. It just didn’t leave, or move from its hover spot in front of my face. I noticed it was an unremarkable hummingbird, all gray, no spectacular color from what I could see. It just stayed there. So, I stayed still, I watched it, looked at it, trying to figure out what it wanted of me. Birds rarely come that close to me. I have to admit, I like birds, but do not consider myself a bird person.
Childhood Flashback
Beautiful hummingbird tattoo with a native flair.
My sister had birds growing up and I would take care of them for her when she was gone. I never quite believed they were happy being in that cage and thought they must be very bored. Birds needed to fly and be free, I felt. I was also afraid of them close up, because they would peck me and make sudden movements and I never knew quite what to expect from them. I never fully understood them or appreciated them close up. I’m just not a bird person I guess. (Maybe my babysitter allowing me to watch Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” at a young age didn’t help either. Hmmm, have to meditate on that for a bit later.) Lets put it this way, if I were to get a tattoo, it would NOT be of a bird. But, if I were to get a tattoo and it had to be a bird, it would probably be a pretty colored one, like a hummingbird. Anyway….
Back to the Hummingbird
So when this hummingbird came so close to my face, and stayed there for what seemed like a very long time, not only was I a bit surprised and still a bit afraid that it would peck my face, but I knew that this bird must be trying to tell me something or it wouldn’t be doing this with me. I finally just enjoyed the moment and listened. As I listened I heard “Patience, the journey continues!” Well I have to say that just pissed me off!! Patience!! I’ve been on this healing journey for twenty years almost, how patient do I have to be!? (Apparently, more patient than I am at the moment.)
Visions Help Solidify the Message
Then suddenly, standing there on the grass, I had visions of all the lifetimes I’ve done this, many lifetimes of physical and emotional pain that I am working to rid myself of all in this one life. It is time, THIS is the life to taste, digest, and dispose of all the pain from all those other lives. This healing journey that I think I’ve been on for twenty years, I’ve actually been on for much, much longer. In that scope of understanding, a few more years or even a few more lifetimes didn’t seem like so much. Patience on that scale, actually seemed more doable than just this one lifetime of being patient. The big picture to me made my struggles in this life seem small and easier to overcome, more like a speed-bump than a mountain. I can’t completely explain it, but I felt more at peace, I felt like I could go on. I felt like I could continue the healing journey with more patience. Thank you beautiful hummingbird, it was just the message and vision I needed at that exact moment.
“Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.” An Old Astronomer to His Pupil
Suddenly the gray hummingbird turned away from me and flew away. He knew I’d gotten his message and he was done. I ran in the house and wrote down the message and my experience so I could write it in this blog later. I then picked up my “Animal Spirit Guides” book by Steven Farmer and looked up messages from hummingbirds to see what it had to say that may compliment the message I had gotten. Here is what the book said for hummingbird that related to my situation, like it was written just for me, just for that day.
If a hummingbird shows up, it means:
You need to be very flexible with the twists and turns your life will take in the next days.
Put more emotional sweetness in your life, you need it.
You’re going through some very heart-opening kinds of experiences, and you’ll quite naturally draw more and more love into your life.
Openly express the love you have and feel for those important people in your life.
Give yourself the gift of as many flowers as you can, spread them around your home, and enjoy their sight and fragrance throughout the days to come.
This message also stood out and spoke to me from the book:
Call on Hummingbird when:
You’re feeling down and sullen and want to lighten up, have more fun, and experience more joy.
You find yourself around any negativity or harshness and want to protect yourself and lift your spirits.
You’re feeling fragmented and distracted, ruminating about the past or future, and want to be more present in the moment.
Judy at Angels and Ancestors wrote a lovely blog about the spiritual messages of hummingbirds. Here is a passage that spoke to me:
“Hummingbird is about understanding the sweetness of life, about being able to go long distances on little food, and using great courage. Hummingbird also represents the pioneer spirit of finding new lands and moving between worlds. When working with Hummingbird, we may ask it to bring in our Ancestors or the Old Ones who may come from their spirit place and share knowledge with us.
Hummingbirds bring the message that stamina and perseverance is important in one’s life. One must build themselves up to be strong so that their life force is not depleted by those drawing on them for energy. Another message that hummingbird brings to those that it appears to, is that the human must watch his or her digestive system, and that they must not take in too much sugar.”
Hummingbird Totem for the full blog by Tonjha about the spiritual messages of hummingbirds. Here is a quote that related to the cleanse experience for me.
“The hummingbird can awaken us to the medicinal properties of plants. Hummingbirds teach us how to draw the life essence from flowers. “They can teach us how to use flowers to heal and win hearts in love. Andrews says the twittering, vibrating sounds of the hummingbirds bring us an internal massage that restores health and balance. ”

Doing Something Different
Vegetable juice is delicious and nutritious.
And so, the healing journey continues as life does too. I got refocused. I met with my doctor and had her muscle test me for the nutritional elements I need to stay focused on most to help my body heal. My body said I need to continue to juice, lots of greens and to stay off the dairy 100%. We also tested time frames and the testing said it will take six months to fully detox from the dairy I have eaten and drank for my whole life. For my body, dairy is NOT GOOD! I think for many bodies, dairy is not good. If you suspect it is not good for you get muscle tested or give it up for a few weeks and see how you feel when you add it back in. You’ll intuitively know. You probably already do. I’ve been feeling this for quite a while but just wasn’t ready to give it up until now. I ignored what my body needed for my emotional needs at the time. Now is the time. Now I am ready. This all feels right to me so I’m continuing. Six months does not seem so daunting to me at all. I’m enjoying the juicing and so is my husband. He already feels the effects with more energy at work and not needing coffee to keep going throughout the day. He’s even started to make his own juice when I don’t have time. I’m starting a trend, I hope so.
Results of the Cleanse will be in the next blog. Read on. And, if you like the information you are reading, don’t forget to enter your email address to receive automatic blog updates from Rain Shadow Reiki.

I feel that hugs are forgotten all too often in our busy modern world and taken advantage of. For sure by me, so, of course it must be true for many others. Right?
It’s a very good thing my husband is such a good hugger and hand-holder, he literally keeps the good vibes flowing around here and reminds me to do so too! I more easily than him, get caught up in the “to do’s” of the modern world. He quite often stops me, gives me a hug to help me breath deeper, calmer and to reconnect, then we go on about our day again. It helps so much.
So, here is a quick and easy reminder as to WHY hugs are so important and HOW to improve the hugs you give to your loved ones.
“It’s like an emotional Heimlich (maneuver). Someone puts their arms around you and they give you a squeeze and all your fear and anxiety come shooting out of your mouth in a big wet wad and you can breathe again.” Chuck Charles, Pushing Daisies
WHY Hugs are so Important:
Lets change the image of a tree hugger, ANYONE and EVERYONE can benefit from hugging trees. Marilyn Monroe photographed by Henri Cartier-Bresson, 1961
Do you know that hugs?……….
Reduce stress
Lower blood pressure
Boost our moods in positive ways with mood boosting bonding chemicals in our body, oxytocin and serotonin
Help couples be happier in their relationships with just a simple four hugs a day (at least six seconds each)
Babies who are hugged show more physical and brain power development
Hugging trees multiplies our natural cancer-killer cells,improves mood, promotes well-being, reduces anger and provides a natural healing effect. (OMG, did you read that and actually TAKE IT IN? Hugging trees FIGHTS CANCER!)
Children who GET hugs, GIVE hugs! Josslyn Streett said that!
.
“Children who get a sustained form of touching, such as one hug every day are smarter.” Jay Gordon, M.D., co-author of “Brighter Baby”

“I will not play at tug o’ war I’d rather play at hug o’ war, Where everyone hugs Instead of tugs….” ~Shel Silverstein
HOW to improve the hugs you give to your loved ones
Step 1. Find someone to hug!
REIKI HUGS!!
It is so easy to improve the Love that comes from your hugs. Put some INTENTION into your hugs! Here are a couple of tips on how to give a Reiki hug.
Find someone to hug (Ok, now what?)
Ask them for a hug and GIVE the hug
Sustain the hug slightly longer than usual
While hugging, hold the intention that the Reiki Blessings flow out your hand chakras AND your heart chakra and into the person you are hugging. (As a beginner to Reiki hugging it may be best to start with one person at a time, then move up to more later, it’s your call. It is always ok to send Reiki Blessings.)
It may help to visualize a loving color, such as pink or green for the heart chakra.
Or visualize a shape or an item, like a heart shape, a red box of chocolates or a fuzzy kitten to help lighten your energy, mood and feelings towards the person you are hugging. (This helps if this is a person who maybe you’ve had an argument with or difficulties of some sort. Yes, hug our enemies too, especially our enemies.)
or Chant a phrase that helps such as, “Loving blessings, love is flowing out my hands, love, love.”
Being social creatures is in our DNA, we NEED each other.
Continue running the Blessing Reiki energy as long as the hug continues.
Practice giving Reiki hugs as often as you can and see if you and your relationships become more loving. See if your friends and family want to be around you more often. See if your kids do not hug you more easily and for longer. It has worked with my kids, it can work with yours too.
Hug your pets!
Now you may want some ideas as to WHO to give Reiki hugs to. I say everyone!! But here are some ideas and WHY.
Obviously your family would be the best place to start, significant other, children,grandparents. Children don’t want lectures, they want hugs. I have found this out the hard way. (How wonderful for your children to SEE you and your spouse hugging regularly. What a wonderful mirror of a loving relationship for your family!)
Pets, our pet friends soak up much of our emotions in them trying to help us be happier and more balanced people on earth. Lets take some of that burden off of them with a Reiki hug.
Friends
Anyone who is in pain, emotional, physical or other. This can lift their spirits and help them cope with the pain better, especially with Reiki blessings. (Please do not use other symbols unless you have their permission first)
Trees and plants – Lets be Tree Huggers!! They fight cancer for you AND it just FEELS good to hug a tree. (How do I know? I DO IT REGULARLY!! I am an admitted Tree Hugger!)
Other Reiki friends, lets spread the Love and Light through Reiki hugs. What better way to practice and perfect your Reiki hug than to practice on other Reiki community members. Come to circle and lets practice our Reiki hugs!!
Hug the elderly, you will both be rewarded. Photo credit: Milk Photo
The elderly, we sometimes forget how much touch heals, one can heal down to the soul with a good hug. What a beautiful gift to give and receive.
Our enemies, or more like people you’ve had differences with. They probably need a Reiki hug really badly. (See if you can’t turn an enemy into a friend again with a Reiki hug, both must choose to hug, of course.)
Rocks and crystals – I know, I’m a little loopy when it comes to my healing stones, but I really do love them. I regularly sit and hold my rocks and crystals to let them know how much I appreciate their healing gifts that they lend to me. Then I give them a Reiki hug, a cleansing and an energizing too. I have very happy rocks!
Anyone else you can think of to hug? Please comment here on WHO YOU ARE GOING TO PRACTICE YOUR REIKI HUG ON!! Watch out, it’s contagious!
“Arm ourselves for war? No! All the arms we need are for hugging.” ~Author Unknown
A special Thank You to my Reiki and Stones and Crystals teacher, Jade Elizabeth for sharing this idea with me many years ago. She gives GREAT Reiki hugs!!
Mother’s Day is right around the corner and it’s time to pamper yourself a little bit extra. Sometime before or maybe ON Mother’s Day itself commit to loving yourself more than usual with a Reiki Bath!
Here’s how, it’s so easy, all you need is a bath and your Reiki hands:
Run your bath, as hot as you can stand to help your body really relax.
Add any accouterments you want (optional of course) ; soft music, candles, lavender bath saltsor oils, epsom salts, fragrance in the air from essential oils, stones & crystals, etc. Whatever makes it lush, calm and luxuriant feeling to you.
Sequim, WA is the second largest grower of lavender in the world. Lavender is great for helping one to relax and be calm. Here is a recipe for a Lavender Milk Bath if you’d like to try it. Enjoy!
Run Reiki – while soaking as much of your body you can submerge, do your Gassho to begin the Reiki and call on your Reiki guides to aid you in this ritual.
Intention – hold the intention that the Reiki simply flows from your hands and into the bath water the entire time you are soaking. You may hold any other intention you choose; relaxation, calming your mind, healing your muscles or aches and pains in your body, relieving some emotional block you’ve been dealing with, etc. Any intention that is most important to you at the time.
Add Reiki Symbols – if you have Reiki symbols, you can calm your mind and your bath water by chanting the blessing symbols and then the mental emotional symbol and finally the physical healing symbol. Hold the intention again that they simply continue to flow from your hands all through out your bath.
Be open to good things happening; detoxification of old patterns, mental patterns, physical issues and emotional issues coming out while you run the Reiki or just deep relaxation. It’s literally ALL GOOD!
Relax and enjoy as often as you choose!
“If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?” Milton Berle
Pamela told me she’s having trouble with pain in her right arm. Her doctors told her, after multiple appointments, that there was nothing they could do for her. They said she would have to just get used to the pain and use over the counter pain relievers.
When I got to her arm, I asked her who she felt she was giving too much to lately. She said she’s been taking care of her in-laws. They had come for a few months to stay and had been doing a lot for them. I was drawn mostly to her elbow. When I put my finger on the spot where it hurt the most, she cried out “that’s it!” I had the right spot. Immediately I felt a great deal of sadness come out through me from her elbow.
The Life – It was basically a Cinderella story. Her in-laws were an older couple in the life I saw as well. They needed help on their land so they adopted a pre-teen girl (Pamela). They worked her and were very hard on her. She did not comprehend why. She had a bit of the victim mentality in this life. She was very confused by their anger and hatred of her. I felt it was very old karmic ties and we were not to know at this time the whole story of why. I felt she had wronged them long ago and this is some vengeance on their part to help them all learn. I felt as if they were abusive to her and actually badly injured her arm at the elbow. I saw the man grabbing Pamela’s elbow very hard and pulling her and forcing her down to the ground by that elbow. I saw him doing this over and over again, time after time when he was angry. I healed the energy from this past and sad life but felt there was still some karmic issues that needed to be worked out. Usually healing the energy from a difficult life, like this one, will lessen the pull of energy between the souls involved and allow for deep healing to take place.
Physical healing took place. When I checked back with her, four years later, Pamela still doesn’t have any pain in her elbow.
