Releif from depression, body stress & pain
My name is Ronnie Duff. For some years I have suffered from lower body pain, depression and stress. I had to use a walking stick to walk any distance.
When my wife heard about Reiki I was a bit sceptical but decided to try it anyhow. No Doctor or hospital could do anything for me and at this stage, I was desperate. I could not sleep or work and had no appetite.
My first visit is a bit vague in my mind as my memory is still not the best, but it was a lovely experience of relaxation and peace. I did not know until after the session that I had actually fallen asleep. As I left that first session I got off the bed and left with my walking stick under my arm feeling very relaxed. I went home and slept all night without any trouble. My next session was mainly the same, except this time I went somewhere beautiful like a paradise island. When I woke up I felt on top of the world and walked out without my stick altogether.
I feel almost 100% now but still look forward to every session because I know I feel better every time. I will soon be back to myself (a normal human being) and will be able to live life to the full, something I never thought I'd ever do again.
In conclusion I can only say that Reiki and my Reiki practitioners Hazel and Stephen probably saved my life. They are wonderful people and may God keep them healthy and happy to allow them to keep up their wonderful work.

Reiki and Asthma
My friend Rita gave me weekly treatments up until I did Reiki 1. I had been diagnosed as an asthmatic in the summer of '99. I was on one puff of becotide twice a day and ventolin as needed.
After my first Reiki treatment my asthma improved to a point where I no longer needed my inhalers. A year later I had a medical at work and my lung capacity was better than normal. I have not had asthma since.

Reiki helped Panic Attacks, Self Esteem and Fear of Flying
Reiki has given me the power to relax and be a lot calmer. I had always suffered from terrible anxiety since I was a child. Regular panic attacks and vomiting from fear became my way of life. This was the norm in my family - So many wasted years and opportunities!
My journey took me through all the usual channels - General Practitioners, Psychiatrists, Mental Health Nurses and Tranquilisors. My life was controlled by complete terror with no logical explanation!
Eventually a personal development course helped me realize that I was not crazy. I'm 28 now. In the past 6 years I have been to many counseling sessions, attended several personal development courses and studied many self help books. But although I could now understand what was happening to me and why, I still lacked the inner strength to make the biggest changes.
Reiki found me! I've learned over the past two years how to connect with myself. My true inner self, the person who knows he is deserving of love and acceptance - From Me!
After six years of studying all the books and doing all the counseling, Reiki has given me the gift of me. Its a struggle at times. 26 years of conditioning won't change quickly, but now I have Reiki. Its given myself permission to love myself.
My attitudes are slowly changing. I'm not as anxious or impatient as I used to be. Now when I feel panicked and out of control I use Reiki. It doesn't always calm me down straight away but maybe tomorrow I will pull out of the downward spiral of fear.
One amazing Reiki experience for me was taking my first flight. At 27 I had never flown. I was terrified even driving near an airport. For the most part I could ignore the fear but it did stop me from many holidays away with friends and partners.
When my best friend moved to the U.S.A 3 years ago, I promised myself that I would get there. It took 2 years and a lot of Reiki but with the aid of a family member (brave soul!) and Reiki I took the first flight to London on a day trip. What a great thrill. Some people grab their armrests on the plane, my hands were clamped to my body! I got a window seat and once the plane had leveled off I was able to look out of the window. I was like a little kid again - I loved it. I was first sorry I had not brought my camera!
Well, that was over a year ago and since then I have flown to the U.S.A twice. I can now say that I find flying ordinary.
Wow, I thought the best I could hope for was not having to be a sick boy.

Reiki helping with remitting and relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
I am a forty seven year old man who was diagnosed with remitting and relapsing M.S four years ago and I had been in remission until I suffered a serious relapse in the Summer of 2001. This resulted in severe loss of balance, taste and considerable numbness in the left side of my face.
Also, in addition to these very obvious and physical effects I became worried and anxious because I felt there was little hope of a speedy recovery at the time. In short, I had resigned myself to a lengthy relapse and I was worried that some of the damage done might not be repairable and I would be left with permanent disability.
In the past I had heard of Reiki but I knew very little about it. When a friend told me that she was doing it I was happy to give it a try thinking at least it wouldn't do any harm and at best I might see some improvement in my condition. In fact what I experienced over the next ten days can only be described as amazing.
I began to recover at a pace which was way and above my expectations. I began having Reiki treatments every day and after the third session I was back on my feet to the extent that I was able to go for a short walk. After five days the feeling in my face was back to about 50% and my taste was coming back too. Also, my general mood, which had been down was now upbeat, as the stress and the anxiety that I was under just seemed to go away.
Over the next few days everything gradually returned to normal and at the end of the tenth session I was back on my bicycle and enjoying my food once again. At this point I took advantage of a third week to take a short holiday before going back to work and my remission was complete.
I am now eight months back at work and I remain in good health. I am still receiving Reiki on a regular basis and I plan to keep having it, not just for physical maintenance, but also for emotional healing that may not be as apparent but is just as real. Reiki is a great help in dealing with the pressures and traumas, which occur from time to time as part of life.
Now when I tell my story, I say that I am living proof of Reiki's powerful healing capacity and I highly recommend it to anyone, even if they are not sick.
