Hands-On Reiki Helps Kids

posted by Chattering Mind | 7:46am Thursday January 18, 2007

Here’s a wonderful article on Reiki (hands-on) healing with kids by Pamela Miles, author of “Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide.”

An excerpt:

“Lucky teens in Camden, Maine, have found Reiki at…Camden Hills Regional High School. According to Judy Ottman, M.Ed., the school lost eight students to a rash of accidents, drowning and suicides within a six month period in 2001. As part of the communities desire to support the teens through these tragedies, a Wellness Room was created to offer Reiki to students and staff. Students can come on their own, or at the suggestion of a teacher or the school nurse. In the 2003-2004 school year, there were 370 student visits.

Students lobbied to be trained themselves, and three Reiki Masters collaborated to train twenty-four students in First Degree. A year later, eight of the student practitioners requested and received Second Degree training. More than half the student body has received treatment, and the entire basketball team came in before an important game.”

Don't Pierce Your Belly Button
I caught the following conversation between two pretty women in the ladies' room of a Manhattan restaurant. One of the women was pregnant. And she said, "So my acupuncturist made me take the ring out of my belly button." "Really?" her friend exclaimed. "Yeah, he said, 'Let's give this baby a chance.

I have been studying Reiki now for 3 months and hopefully by year’s end
I will be “attuned” at Level I Reiki.
The important thing to remember is that Reiki is in our gene structure,
it takes a Master to do an “attunement”. This “attunement” does not give the receiver anything “new”. It merely opens up and aligns what was already a part of the receiver.
My primary purpose with Reiki is to begin a path of World Peace for
all mankind – let it start with ME!
