Over my ten years giving Reiki treatments, I have seen dramatic improvements in the lives of many of my regular Reiki clients. The first sign of improvement is usually in the area of self-esteem as blocks are gradually released from the energy field. People often change the way they react to situations and notice that they behave in a different, more positive, manner than they would have done previously. They become stronger and cope better, as the following two case studies show....
Client A had a very demanding, stressful job with targets to meet and strict guidelines to adhere to. She was always absolutely exhausted when she came to see me at a weekend for monthly treatments. She had been on anti-depressants for the previous year, had high blood pressure, poor sleep patterns and arthritis in the right knee which required a walking stick for support. For the first two treatments she felt very good for the day of the treatment and the day after and slept very well around this time. After the second treatment she was starting to feel more balanced. She also realised she had coped very well with a particularly difficult month and her sleep pattern had improved. After four sessions she was feeling stronger and brighter in herself and her sleep had improved to the extent that she was not falling asleep in the early evening (or day time at weekends). Stress at work continued, and she also had family health matters to worry about during this time, but on the whole she coped much better than she would have done before. After six treatments the treatments changed as the Reiki energy addressed her physical health conditions including joint pain and a long term cough/chest condition. After a year she felt confident enough to make the change she really needed to make - to change her job. Although initially there were frustrations in the new job, she remained in control, coped well and never doubted that she had made the right move. A year on she was much more settled. She is now looking very well in herself, is sleeping well, no longer uses a walking stick for support and only has occasional twinges in the knee joint. She realised that for her health to improve fully and consistently, she had to make a real change in her work life.
Client B was suffering from anxiety and felt she had to be 'on alert' all the time. She was struggling to work her part-time hours and was often tearful at work. She was also a carer for another family member, was tired all the time, suffered with menstrual irregularities and had been diagnosed with anaemia. Initial treatments focussed on balancing the reproductive system. During these early treatments she also had a lot of realisations and insights regarding herself and what she does for other people. She also had a lot of vivid dreams at this time - a sign of significant releasing taking place at a subconscious level. After the fourth treatment she felt much more decisive and was feeling much more positive at work. After the sixth she was coping much better with life in general, things that used to bother and upset her didn't really affect her anymore, and she was feeling considerably stronger in all areas of life. She is receiving conventional medical help for fibroids and anaemia but at the same time has also been able to go back to work full-time. She is now enjoying her job and realising how valued and appreciated she is.
It is worth pointing out here that, with Reiki, the most important conditions are dealt with first, in this case the clients' mental/emotional state which usually contributes significantly to many physical problems they may be suffering from. The Reiki energy has an intelligence of its own and always addresses the most important issue first, followed by recent health problems, then seems to work backwards as it gradually clears the energy field of blockages.
Both clients had regular monthly treatments over a period of 18 months - 2 years and then continued on a less regular basis. Both have made significant changes in their lives: one found the courage to leave a job that was making her stressed out and exhausted and move into a new post, something she wouldn't even have had the energy to contemplate when she first came for treatments; the other was able to go back to full-time work and is not only coping well but is enjoying her job and is highly regarded by her boss and colleagues. Both clients were prepared to commit to their healing on a long term basis rather than just expecting a quick fix and the results have been worth waiting for.
Reiki Attunement
Neither of these clients were attuned to Reiki themselves. If they had been, and been able to give themselves self-healing on a regular basis, the results would have been evident much more quickly. Once attuned to the Reiki energy at Level 1, the necessary releasing and processing takes place usually within 3-6 months, depending on the amount of healing the student needs to do. Once attuned, you can give yourself regular self-healing treatments which speeds your healing and spiritual development along considerably. Being attuned to Reiki doesn't mean you will never encounter problems in your life again but it does give you the means to cope and deal with things much more effectively. Just remember to make time to do your self-healing and you'll find you stay much more calm, centred and balanced as a result.
