Here are a few cases where
use of Reikí made a real difference: An 11-year-old girl suffering emotional and dental trauma after a car accident needed a root canal and a broken tooth repaired. On her first visit, she could not be treated because of severe stress. On her second visit, I applied “hands-on” Reikí treatment before proceeding and was able to complete work with no problems.
On several occasions I have treated adults who had suffered childhood traumas. In each case front teeth were involved. With application of Reikí, original trauma was visualized and then released, allowing successful treatment and healing. Healing is promoted in a state of silence as body begins to heal itself. Reikí boosts body’s energy into balance so healing can take place.
Reikí cannot be “switched off”, energy continues to flow from my hands while I work on patient—some actually fall asleep! I’ve had an occasion where three patients in a row fell asleep. This is because Reikí creates a feeling of harmony in environment where it’s practiced. Relaxed patients develop a natural feeling of trust.
Recently, while traveling, a companion complained of a severe toothache for which she had been taking painkillers for two months. After 15 minutes of Reikí, pain went away for five days without painkillers. A root canal was performed immediately upon return to Canada.
It’s natural to be skeptical when hearing about treatments that seem to defy medical reasoning. In very beginning, I was skeptical myself! But after trying Reikí on a few patients, I noticed something—the patient’s mood would change. One, who had arrived in a bad mood, said she felt like laughing and dancing after treatment. We were both amazed and I’ve been using Reikí ever since.
