About Reiki Healing… Shortly after I had received Reiki-1, I visited my mother in Oklahoma. While standing in the kitchen, cooking something terrific, Mom told me she had a pain in her lower back that had been there for a long time, and no matter what she did, the pain would not go away.

I was not sure how she would receive my suggestion, but asked anyway, saying, "Would you like me to give you some Reiki healing?" She replied, "Can't hurt!"

I placed the palms of my hands where Mom said she had the pain. Immediately she commented on how warm my hands were becoming. After about five minutes she said the pain was gone.

The next morning Mom told me the pain never came back. It has been over a year now and Mom says the pain has never returned. Mom really believes in the Reiki healing. She always looks forward to my visits because she knows seeing me will not only make her heart feel better, but the aches and pains in her body will feel better, too!

I have often seen the ease that Reiki has given to many people, some of whom I have known well and some complete strangers. I can, however, speak very strongly in favour of Reiki in my own recent life. After a major operation, when at my lowest ebb, Kandi, my Reiki master, gave me constant attention and many sessions of hands-on Reiki treatments. I have made a good recovery, much due to her care of me, and the goodwill energy sent overseas to me by family and friends using Reiki powers. I hope many others will profit from Reiki help in the same way.

Reiki came into my life five years ago and I found it to be a most rewarding asset from the first moment. Skeptical before trying it, I went on to Reiki 2 when I realized how important it became for me and my family.

After knee replacement surgery, I had a Reiki practitioner working on my knee constantly and a few days later, the doctors were amazed that I could bend my knee more than ninety degrees.

Reiki is a wonderful, easy to pack and always take with you treasure.

I work with men who are sick both mentally and physically. Reiki allows me to help them in a way that's outside the norm. Often, I find that the best help for my guys is the one that's unorthodox and new. I use Reiki on both them and myself and have found that its obvious energy and strength is a powerful step to mental, physical and spiritual healing and rejuvination.

There's so much craziness and whirlwind pace about my life and work in showbiz that Reiki, for me, is the ability to slow things down and clean up the b.s. we all accumulate so regularly. In the same time it takes to step outside and have a smoke or get some air, I can calm down and get a perspective on the world that is humble and valuable. You can't realize how draining our society can be until you find a way to recharge yourself. Reiki is about getting in touch with what's real and meaningful in your life…especially when it's hard to sort these things out.

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that the students in my 7th grade class came running up to me yesterday yelling "Arnold got hit in the nose with a soccer ball". I helped and so once again another student is totally in awe of the powerful spread of heat from only my two little fingers to the injured area. My girl's soccer team plays rough and is already used to coming to me for a "mini" Reiki session out on the field, the boys are slowly but surely beginning to ask more often. It seems that some of the students think I have hidden secret powers and as you will no doubt understand, for now, it is in my best interest to keep them thinking that way. The little boy whose mangled finger I "Reikied" truly did become much less agitated and fearful, the longer I applied my 2 fingers next to the cut, but what is most amazing for him and for me is how it lessened the pain. So I LOVE REIKI!!

After being divinely led to my wonderful Reiki masters Kandi Abelson and Mark Margolis, I received the sacred attunements and knowledge of Reiki 1 & 2. Since then my life has been blessed immeasurably, amazingly and magically! During my first attunement, I felt I had "come home to my soul" and have continued to feel more and more deeply connected and harmonious in body mind and spirit. It's as if I have walked through new doors, experiencing miracle after miracle ever-new.

I really love and enjoy discovering the endless ways of using Reiki. It's so fulfilling being a channel of healing, benefiting not only myself, but others as well. Since the second degree, I am even more peaceful and my intuition is becoming more clear. I have never felt happier or healthier than I do now. Even the challenges are smoother!

My life is rapidly unfolding in the direction of my hearts desires, with synchronicities and posibive experiences multiplying in surprising ways. I now honor the Reiki spirit; this beautiful, divine, loving energy, using it enthusiastically everyday. I feel so blessed and grateful to have found this true treasure.

While I was traveling in the Ukraine, I had a nasty experience with some bed bugs. Upon discovering them at my hotel, I became hysterical and called my mom. I was traveling alone and felt very far away from everything and everyone I know. My mom told me she was going to have her Reiki master send me Reiki. I didn’t really understand but knew that the phone call was going to be more money then I had so I said goodbye. I continued crying until a calm enveloped me. I was able to collect myself and deal with the situation. It was miraculous, I didn’t want my mom to worry so I called her back. She told me that her Reiki master had already called to tell her I was fine.

Recently I decided to learn Reiki. I called my mom to tell her and she asked the Reiki master’s name. I replied Kandi and my mom gasped, it was Kandi who had saved me in the Ukraine. I am so grateful for her and the powerful healing power of Reiki.

My dad had a terrible bike accident and passed away on 1/3. He had been in a coma for 10 days and I thought of you often because you gave me a gift that was very important to me during this time: Reiki. I loved my dad very much and he knew it, but he wasn’t very comfortable with physical intimacy, so I never touched him that much. When he was in the coma with horrible head injuries it really broke my heart and I became like his father, all this tenderness and protectiveness. I touched him more in the last week of his life than I did in the rest of it combined. He wasn’t conscious but he had to be somehow aware of his family’s presence, you could sense it. I did Reiki on him all the time, my hands were burning up with it. I like Reiki, especially with you guys, but don’t usually do it that much, except sometimes with Penny. Now I think you taught it to me specifically for this purpose.

Lots of love, Chris
