What a wonderful, awe-inspiring, mind-blowing couple of days I have spent. On Sunday we’d been out at a horse show all day as a family and there had been a lot of stress and conflict throughout the day. My eldest (very teenage & emotional) daughter had been in tears more than once and the tears were flowing again on the drive home, and she was complaining of backache. So I took a deep breath and asked if she wanted me to massage her back gently. Within seconds of putting my hands on her back I could feel the energy pulsing and a gentle heat. She felt it too! We were laughing together, both somewhat incredulous. I left my hands on her back for the journey home, and just before we arrived I swept her aura and again, she felt the heat. As we were putting the ponies back in their stables I turned around to see her in floods of tears and smiling with pure joy. ‘I felt it, I felt it, it is true, it does exist’, she said.
On Monday I asked if I could practice on my husband and give him a whole Reiki session. I reckon he agreed because it meant he could have a kip half the afternoon rather than working, but agree he did. I felt a bit foolish as I put my hands in the Gassho position, but seconds after I did so I felt my hands tingling. As I raked his aura I immediately felt the heat, and he did too. I found a lot of heat in his head and my hands pulsed, almost as if I was giving a massage without moving them myself. He told me afterwards that when I put my hands over his eyes he could no longer breathe through his nose, even though I was nowhere near his nostrils and wasn’t putting pressure on his sinuses. He said that when I put my hands on his temples he felt like he was spinning in high-speed. He said he felt rejuvenated and re-energised, he was smiling and relaxed (a real change as he’s normally a grumpy old so & so).
When the girls came home from school they asked me to show them what I’d learned and made me promise to give them both a full Reiki massage. I still had a nagging doubt that anything would come of it and that I could really be capable of channelling this energy to actually heal someone. As you can imagine, my mind has been very pre-occupied over recent days with God, source, higher power, energy or whatever you choose to call it, and of spirits. I found myself mentally saying, ‘well that’s all well and good but how will I know’? Only moments later whilst getting something out of the oven I spilt hot fat all over my hand, the one with which I suffer from lymphoedema as well. It was agony and immediately started to bubble up and blister so I put it in cold water but nothing would take the pain away. The girls started nagging me to ‘do their massage’ and I was wondering whether I’d be capable of even touching them.
Not only did I manage to lay my hands on but both the girls felt the heat & energy. My youngest daughter had the beginnings of a migraine and I was instantly able to tell on which side of her head the pain was. I also found she had a lot of heat in one of her knees; she later told me she often woke at night with growing pains in that leg. She asked me to put my hands on her wrist, which she’d broken this summer and which often throbbed. Again, there was a surge of heat. I had kept my eyes closed during the first two sessions with my husband and eldest daughter, concentrating hard for fear of breaking the contact. With my youngest daughter I had my eyes open for much of the time, and when I had my hands on her previously broken arm I saw a blue tinge moving in her arm and in my hands. It’s generally impossible to shut my little one up but her chatting and questions didn’t alter the treatment she was receiving, the heat and the colours and the tingling in my hands persisted regardless of whether I was concentrating hard or not. Again, she finished the session with a contented grin on her face, like the cat that had got the cream. I did not feel in the least bit tired, quite the opposite in fact.
As I finished the session I realised in amazement that the pain had gone out of my burned hand. When I got up the next morning I saw the burn, which should have been a soggy, painful, blistered mess, had dried up and virtually vanished. This evening, less than half a day later and it is hard to tell I’d burned myself at all. It is completely painless. To be honest, it has pretty much blown my mind, but has left me convinced of the infinite healing power that has become accessible to me. I won’t even try to understand.
