Reiki stories are posted as a way to help keep us inspired and to remember to use Reiki

Reiki and Pain Relief after Surgery
by Glenyss 31/3/09 Source
I woke up from a ten hour surgery to repair damage to my bowel, with the most intense
pain I have ever felt. I was given a morphine spinal block but something was very wrong!
Even in that drugged state I was able to position my Reiki hands near the pain site and
the pain subsided a little. When the anaethecist finally came, he adjusted the position of
the fine tube delivering the morphine to the spine, as it had a slight kink in the line.
The pain went away and I must have gone back into La La land....
At 3 o'clock the next morning I awoke again to terrible pain!- The epidural was not working
and they could not get anyone to fix it until 8 O'clock, How could I survive five hours of
pain this intense?
The nurses gave me a Morphine injection but it did not help in fact it seemed to intensify
the pain even more I placed my Reiki hands on myself and the pain again subsided a little.
I was still beside myself with pain and in this terrified and agitated state I mentally called
my husband who was one hour drive away sound asleep in bed. I mentally shouted that I
needed his help immediately.
One hour later he walked into my hospital room, it was 5 o'clock in the morning! I had
awoken him out of a sound sleep with my mental shout, and he knew he had to rush in to
see me.
He put his Reiki hands above my abdomen and slowly and gently the pain went away--
yes it actually went away and I want back to sleep until the anaethecist arrived to adjust
the epidural.
Thank You Reiki!!

2. Requests for Long Distance Healing:
Requests for Long Distance Healing:
When there are several requests, in our small way, we can participate by adding each
individual to our prayer list or to send long distance Reiki. Please consider printing out
these requests so you can remember these people over this next month.
If you make a request for long distance healing, it would be helpful if you could provide us
with some feedback on how the person is doing after a period of time.Remember if there
are multiple requests, you can use the stack method of sending long distance Reiki. One
suggestion would be: When time permits-- send long distance Reiki for one specific
request, then add that request to an on-going list or stack that receives
unlimited Reiki.
Level I Practitioners:
You can participate in the Long Distance Requests by adding the individuals to your
prayer list or send positive thoughts and intentions.
Prayers for Transition
Healing Prayers or Reiki Request: Submitted by Susan
Charles Razzano, Havertown, PA . I would appreciate any long distance reiki or prayers
that could be sent to my uncle who is in the hospital dealing with current health issues
and for his wife my aunt, Netta Razzano, who is recuperating from hip surgery. Thanks!
Healing Prayers or Reiki Requests from Pam FR
Pete Gainsbury - Hertfordshire, England. Peter is suffering from cancer and Alzheimers.
Please send Reiki to him and his family for strength to get through these difficult times.
Doris Smith (Peter's sister and my mum) She is in agonizing pain with sciatica, spinal
stenosis, ostoearthritis and peripheral neuropathy. Nothing seems to help except laying
flat. Please send reiki for the spine to quickly add calcium so that she does not come to
harm if she should fall, and of, course, for minimizing the pain, causing her to be almost
bed-ridden. Thanks so much in advance. Pam F
Healing Prayers or Reiki Requests from Kathleen R.

3. Q & A
QUESTION:
Are some people more gifted in Reiki than others? Can some perform healings better
than others? Will I ever be able to do what other can do who are good healers?
ANSWER:
You have a lot of good questions! Remember, Reiki is about holding the space for the
energy to flow though you, it is not about actually doing the work. I find that if we can get
into a meditative state, it helps us to disengage from the ego so that the Reiki energy is
working clearly though us without interference. When we do that, it is then left to the
recipient of Reiki to work with the energy. How much the individual clears, comes into
balance, releases, or heals is up to them. As the Reiki practitioner, it is not our job to heal
anyone-- this must always be remembered. True healing only comes from within each
person for themselves.
To be a good healer I believe is learning about how we heal ourself and then sharing with
others what has worked for us to help inspire or motivate others to find what will work for
them. When something is in our life that needs to be healed, it is in our life for a reason,
often it includes a spiritual lesson we need to learn. When another steps in and tries to
remove that experience, they have interfered with our learning in some way and it can
create setbacks for both parties. That in itself can be the hardest lesson to learn.

Drunvalo Melchizedek Video ( 34:19)
Drunvalo Melchizedek talks about the Mayan End of Time as the beginning of a new cycle
of co-operation and an examination of the entire structure of good and evil and the way of
the middle path. He states that our consciousness is going to change and we will see the
unity of all life, and in the perception of that our experience of the Universe will change.
There is only one consciousness.

7. Working with Others:
Have You Lost Your Passion?
A Message from Jim Self
Over the last few months, many men and women have expressed to me a loss of passion;
a deep tiredness and desire to "Let my life be over." These people are all very involved in
their spiritual practice and their commitment to fulfill their purpose, yet they were ready to
simply stop. What is going on? These are strong, certain people, using their tools, actively
and successfully contributing to humanity in unique ways and involved in daily personal-
development work.
Many of the mentors, leaders and teachers ("Spiritual Warriors" or "LightWorkers" some
call themselves) are tiring of their work. The creative juice and passion that once raced
through their veins and kept them moving is no longer there. Their work is wearing them
down and many are ready to quit. Something is out of alignment here. If we are truly doing
our work, happily on our path, we would be filled with energy, passion, light and
enthusiasm. Right?
What is your job anyway?
As this Great Shift into higher awareness occurs, you must
distinguish between what is your job and what isn't. By diving head-first into this 3D game
you have volunteered to contribute a very unique, specialized piece of the puzzle. The
puzzle is called Adding to All-That-Is. Please notice the difference between "one piece of
the puzzle" vs taking on the entire puzzle. The latter is a huge job; the former a bit more
do-able. The heart surgen has a very specialized talent and doesn't even consider
opening a general practice. A successful plumber recognizes her art and doesn't also try
to become an electrician.
Unlike the specialized surgeoun, however, many of us have been taking it ALL on.
Whatever and whomever crosses our path, we engage with it - in the spirit of contribution
and helping others. Your enthusiasm, your passion and drive to contribute have opened a
door through which all people in need are passing and standing before you to be healed
and helped. Perhaps your job entails just one area of focus, not everything you are asked
to do. Perhaps also - you can say "no thank you" now and again. All of these broken, lost
and wanting spirits are not a match to you. Every person and every issue isn't your job to
help. It isn't possible to do It-All and remain happy and healthy and connected to Creator.
None of us can do It-All and stay aligned with who we truly are. You came into 3D to
contribute within only a very specific bandwidth. Within that bandwidth lies your purpose,
your passion and your well being. Identifying and serving within that bandwidth is your job.
That is your only job.
Your bandwidth is one radio station playing clearly the music you love. Not all of the
stations. Sure - two dozen stations broadcast to your home, but there is only one that is in
true alignment with who you are. Maybe two. The jazz station and NPR. Not the Latino
station or country or the hits from the 70's, Not Frank Sinatra or Christian broadcasting.
Just jazz and NPR. The rest is noise. Perhaps you enjoyed those stations at one point, but
now it is noisy. And that noise is wearing many people down because they are trying to
tune into all the stations, all the time, all at once.
When you identify and focus only upon what pleases YOU, you will be happy and
available to contribute your very best to the people and tasks within your bandwidth -
allowing all the others to tune into a radio station that better matches their energy.
A Tool to Discern Your Bandwidth:
Imagine a gauge (0-100) and ask yourself these questions as new and current projects
and people step into your life. If the number that pops up isn't higher than 90, consider
stepping away from it and therefore allowing more of what IS in alignment to enter your
life. Just let the number pop up - no analyzing allowed.
1. How much fun is this project/person?
2. How good does this make me feeeeel in my body?
3. How aligned is this to my personal bandwidth, really?
As you play with this tool, know that even if the person or project scores high today - that
doesn't mean you must keep it in your life forever. These are most important times of Shift
and transition. What is true today may not be true tomorrow. Allow yourself and your
passion to evolve. You are big, not small. You are significant, not insignificant. You have a
very important piece to play as the healer, teacher, leader you came here to be. BE who
you came here to be.

9. Tips & Tidbits:
60 Ways to Heal Your Life… From Lynda Field’s book
Each month one of Lynda’s suggestion is included:
Suggestion 43: Do Whatever Turns You On
It is not necessary to take mood-enhancing/depressing drugs in order to change the way
we feel. Think of how easily your emotions can be changed by the simple things in life.
Perhaps a certain piece of music can lift you, a walk, a piece of artwork, sex, a poem,
surfing, driving, cooking, swimming, dancing, shopping, singing,... There is an infinite
number of possibilities here. Start to notice what changes your mood for the better. Only
very recently I discovered something, which really turns me on. My new job required that I
bought colored paper, cards, pens, etc. for creative projects with students. I realized as I
spent more and more time gazing at fluorescent card and board markers that I really enjoy
the buzz of a stationery store, with its goods offering such amazing potential for all sorts of
creativity. Every time I went to buy stationary I would come away buzzing with new ideas.
Now I often just wanter around the stationary departments in order to get the creative lift.
We all get turned on by very different things and they are very often the simple things in
life.
Spend a couple of days really thinking about what it is that energized and excited you.
Then write your list. Then begin to engage!
