Reiki and Cancer

As quoted from the Reiki Stories webpage for the International Center for Reiki Training

I was diagnosed with ovarian/paratonilee cancer. I was not given a good prognosis. With extensive Chemo treatments, I stood a good chance – without – maybe I had 6-9 months. I had just lost my husband within two years, I had two adorable kids ages 12 and 11. At that time, they had lost their Dad and now Mom was real sick. I had extensive surgery and was faced with chemo, which I didn’t want to do as I had seen what chemo had done to my husband. I was not a happy camper, but wanted all best odds in my favor so I decided to go with the chemo.

After my second chemo treatment, I saw a long time friend of mine. Her family and she herself have dealt with this situation before … She came up to me and said ” I am not going to send you flowers, I am going to come over to your home and do Reiki on you as my gift.” Reiki, I said, what is this? I wanted to live and I wanted to do anything to make all options work, so I accepted her offer.

After the first treatment, I felt relaxed, calmed, and very good. Almost rejuvenated. My Reiki Master had said to me after the second treatment she had seen many little black balls firing through my abdomen while treating me. I thought this strange. That night, about five hours after she had left, I had an experience in the bathroom which is hard to describe. However, after completed, I felt strongly that “all the cancer was gone out of my body.” I called a nurse and a doctor and after tests, they agreed that all the cancer was gone, but could not explain this since I had had only two chemo treatments and they thought I would need many more. I also have to say that my faith has been renewed and I look forward to a long and happy future.

I began my journey with Reiki that night and I am now a cancer survivor for a third time over 26 years. I plan on seeing my children graduate from college, get married and have my grandchildren.

To date, I am about to celebrate my two-year anniversary from that surgery and I am feeling good and going on with life. I have introduced my family members to Reiki and I have progressed to a Reiki Two level. There is a lot to this, and I will continue to practice and heal. I am living proof that it works. My doctors cannot explain how well I am doing- but they suggest ” just keep on doing whatever it is!”

Chakra Power

Each month we will give you an introductory taste to one of your seven main vital energy centers known as Chakras. When energy is flowing freely through our chakras, we feel grounded, creative, powerful, loving, confident, intuitive and connected. When energy is obstructed in our Chakras, we feel constricted, sickly, depressed, confused, fearful and disconnected.

Claim the power in your 4th Chakra this month!

This is the Center where the power of Love and Forgiveness reside. Also known as your Heart Chakra, it is located in the center of your chest and resonates with a sparkling, emerald green, and sometimes a beautiful, soft pink.

Your Heart Chakra is concerned with unconditional love in which you accept another for doing their best. Through this Chakra we learn compassion towards others, and we practice forgiveness. As a consequence we then begin to develop true self-acceptance. This Chakra is concerned with balancing the love of others and the love of ourselves.

Do you ever display codependent behaviors? Do you feel unworthy to receive love? Do you feel possessive, get over dramatic, wallow in self-pity? Are you closed off to your feelings and refuse to feel pain as well as pleasure? Are you stuck in unforgiveness? If so, your 4th Chakra may be out of balance. Here are some suggestions to assist you in reclaiming your power.

Practice daily appreciation. Be in gratitude for all that is. This will beautifully open your Heart Chakra and will also help balance giving with receiving. Use crystals with energy frequencies that support the 4th Chakra, such as Rose Quartz, Green Jade, Green Calcite, and Watermelon Tourmaline. Enjoy the abundant green of nature while you say the following affirmation:

Affirmation:Loving others is easy when I love and accept myself. My heart is open – I allow my love to flow freely. I love myself, I love others, and others love me.
