A Great Healing Technique





A few weeks ago I took a weekend course on Reiki, which is an energy healing technique founded in Japan. For 11 hours I learned how to transfer the energy that is always around us into healing energy. By simply placing your hands on someone in a variety of positions that relate directly to points in the body that are open to receiving energy, you can become a source of healing. It's hard to explain and even harder to believe that an ordinary person can do it.

So I tried it on a friend of mine who recently had outpatient eye surgery. I gave her a 30 minute treatment and not only did she feel the energy infuse her system, but her headaches and some congestion cleared up and never returned! We were both amazed. But people who practice Reiki find the energy helps many people with all types of ailments both minor and very serious. It can even heal on the emotional level.

It's just so amazing that something so simple can work so well and that I, with no prior experience in healing, can actually make someone feel better. It's a wonderful gift that we all have!
