I
have had the privilege of meeting a lot of people through my work and have made
some incredibly good friends, here are a few cases who have been good enough to
put pen to paper from their perspective.
This
is how Reiki has affected people's lives in their own words, identities have
been changed to protect their privacy.
A few years ago I
was badly agoraphobic due to a number of things. My dad died when I was eleven
and I was very close to him, I had a very abusive husband (both physically and
mentally) and I also looked after my mother who was over a time going senile. I
hadn’t been able to go out for seven years, all I could do was go as far as my
own doorstep any further and I would have a bad panic attack.
I had tried all
kinds of therapies but nothing seemed to work and the waiting lists were two to
three years. I had known Kathy for a short while and she asked me if I would let
her try Reiki on me, I was scared but willing to try anything to get better.
After three
treatments I was able to stop taking my medication. If I had a panic attack it
would only last two seconds instead of half an hour to an hour, it was
incredible. I had further treatments and just kept getting stronger. She then
taught me how to do it myself and I was able to not only help myself but help
others too.
I am now in full
time work and having a normal life again, I don’t know what I would have done
without her and the Reiki. I often say to her how can I repay someone for giving
me my life back and that is exactly what she and the Reiki has done for me.

To
My Reiki Master and dear friend,
I
first met Kath through a friend a few years ago, after a terrible childhood
being abused and raped I tried several times to end it all. I have been through
and am still going through from a child the psychiatric system and have had
every treatment and tablet going. I finally met Kath who I call my cure, having
my first treatment I felt quite weird but good. However the next day I hit rock
bottom so I called Kath who explained this was part of the cleansing process and
boy did I have some cleansing to do, however the day after was like a new lease
of life. I felt brilliant and hadn’t felt this good in several years, I could
now rationalize things and knew from that point I wanted to learn more about
Reiki. I continued having treatments of Kath and decided to train for my level
1. WOW what a difference it made to my life, it stood by me and took me on a
journey that I never wanted to end, it went through this way for the next few
years I then decided to train for my level 2 which has just finished. and I feel
great, let’s see how long this new journey in my life lasts and all I can do
is thank so much Kath, I feel she got me out of the gutter and lead and guided
me to a whole new lease of life.
Thanks
so much Kath
your
dear friend always John
Testimonial
2005
To
whom it may concern
This
Testimonial is given happily to Kath my Reiki master and guide to the healing
effects of Reiki that I myself have experienced.
I
was first introduced to Reiki in 2000 it was later that I met Kath and after
being impressed by her I undertook both the basic and intermediate level
training, and fully intend to study my Masters in due course.
Reiki
treatments had a calming influence on my very stressful life, however it
wasn’t until 2002 that I realized just how powerful it’s effects could be.
I
had recently suffered a miscarriage and the hospital found a four centimeter
growth on my left ovary, which was described by the specialist as no longer
ovarian tissue and would have to be removed. An infection got into my
bloodstream later that day which had the effect of causing massive pain and
damage to certain organs. I was on morphine for 10 days and would literally
scream in pain if moved.
At
this point I turned to Kath and Reiki, due to my location Kath did a number of
distance healings and helped me go through treating myself. Over the next few
weeks and months I attended hospital appointments and was told I needed three
major operations to repair the damage and remove my ovary. I had great pleasure
in astounding the specialists as each organ repaired itself and to date I have
not needed any operations at all.
Most
impressively to me are the disappearance of the growth and the regeneration of
the ovary. The specialist himself was forced to admit that “they were only
doctors, and didn’t know everything!”. From needing to be removed to being
fully working has taken to now, but at last I have the option of trying for
another baby.
I
am happy to speak to anyone about Kath and the effects of Reiki that I have
experienced.

I
started off being my usual skeptical self when Reiki was first suggested to me.
I
knew absolutely nothing about it and thought that it may be a spin off of some
sort of “faith healing”, which I was adverse to.
However
when the energy principles were explained to me my scientific thinking kicked in
and I could understand its principles, knowing that there was no religious
undertones to it. I was sympathetic with oriental matters having participated in
different forms of Karate and felt that I could understand the etiquette and
discipline involved. This lead me to give Reiki a try, together with the
prompting from Kath.
I
undertook my first Reiki session with a belief that here was something new I
could try expecting it to be confined to my history folder within a short space
of time.
My
first experience was to receive Reiki from two Reiki masters working together,
one from the head down, the other from the feet up. The reason I tried Reiki was
that I wanted some form of relaxation to soothe my fairly hectic working
schedule, which was causing me stress symptoms.
This
first session had a fairly profound effect on me, and amongst other things
released toxins which left me with a headache. However I realized there were
other more positive aspects to it, and returned for further sessions. After a
handful of sessions I had achieved what I personally was seeking, a vehicle for
releasing tension and relaxing.
After
a number of sessions I decided to undertake Reiki level one, which lead to Reiki
level two and finally I did my Reiki Master with Kath.
I
use Reiki quite frequently on myself and find it the most suitable method, for
me personally, to attain a relaxed state if I am feeling stressed.

Reiki – My Story
Before I had heard
about Reiki I was in a marriage that was slowly deteriorating. At the time two
of my closest friends, one was Kath, were training for their Reiki level 1.
My marriage
eventually ended and, due to the emotional cruelty that my ex wife put me
through, this led to me having a complete breakdown. I lost three stone in
weight over a two week period, lost my job that I had been studying for over the
previous 8 years. At that time I had not slept in over three weeks and was even
considering suicide as I felt this was the only way out. Kath offered me several
Reiki sessions, and as I had nothing to lose, I accepted.
After the first
treatment I fell asleep on the treatment table and was asleep for about an hour.
That night I managed to get some more sleep, although it was not a full night’s
sleep, it was more than I had got for over three weeks. Kath continued to give
me treatments over the next several weeks and, physically I felt more in tune
with my own self being. Although I was not fully rehabilitated I felt an inner
calmness which I had not done so previously. I started to get stronger and over
a lengthy period of time, with Kath’s full support, and with further
treatments, l regained my appetite for life. I believe Reiki helped me to come
to terms with what had happened to me emotionally, put it at the back of my mind
and to build a future for myself. Throughout this time I was studying for my
professional accountancy examinations which also had put enormous stress on my
physical mind. I eventually passed all my exams and continued with my
professional tax exams. I have now started my own book-keeping and accountancy
business and as soon as I obtain my practice certificate I intend to take this
business further.
During this period
of recuperation I was trained by one of these friends who attuned me up to my
Reiki level 2. After two years of being a Reiki level 2 student I asked Kath to
attune me for my Reiki Masters degree. I went to Kath, instead of the person who
attuned me for my level 1 & 2, as Kath had been there throughout this most
turbulent time and had discussed about how to obtain the best out of Reiki.
Anytime I needed advice about Reiki, Kath was always available for me. I started
using the Reiki, as I was training through the levels, to help other people as I
wanted to give back to others what had been given to me. The main treatments
were for stress. I also concentrated my treatments on animals as well, who
seemed to sense this energy and would always want to be around me when I was in
the house.
I also chose Kath,
not because of my friendship with her, but because I know she will always be
there to this guide me when I am treating other people. If I am uncertain about
various illnesses and how to utilize the Reiki to achieve positive results with
Kath and what treatments need to be carried out, Kath is always there to give
advice. I know of certain people who train students up to whatever level they
feel they are ready for but then get no follow up advice from their “Reiki
Master” when needed.
There are people out
there who still think of “Reiki” and the effects as being a state of mind
but had I not been introduced to Reiki when I had then I might not be here now,
due to the emotional stress I was going through, to write this.
