Pain Relief With Reiki

Two sessions of Reiki leading to resolution of ten-year physical issue by Christine Nightingale.

A client, Michael, who is 25, came for Reiki with a complaint of having pain in his upper back and neck for 10 years which no medical intervention had helped.

While doing a first Reiki treatment on Michael I was able to detect two relevant past lifetimes in his aura, one as a calligrapher in the time of Confucius, one as an Innuit carver. I asked for permission to share my intuitive perceptions. Michael, who happens to be Oriental in this lifetime, confirmed that he also had an interest in Native Canadian art. This led to the question of how these two lifetimes as artists related to his current health issues.

Within a few minutes of conversation it became clear that ten years ago Michael had decided to give up his dream of becoming an artist and do what his parents expected, and train as an engineer. Of course, ironically, he was too sick to work as an engineer.

I advised Michael to follow his joy, and come back to me for the second session with some evidence that he had done so. Michael brought me three drawings on the second visit, one of which stood on its own as a piece of art.

This third drawing showed a little salamander emerging from a background of orange, which looked like rainforest growth. He called it “Towards freedom.”

I had not told Michael about the chakra colours, but this was so obviously an evocation of his sacral chakra opening and himself emerging from it that it was breathtaking. His subconscious had found a way to express his pain that went beyond the pain to healing.

Michael called to cancel our third appointment because he was busy getting ready for his first art lesson from an artist who had the same sorts of passions and tastes as he does. Just two sessions for him to find himself and let go of the pain of ten years!

In fact the pain started to go as soon as he understood the connection between the pain and giving up on his life work. It was severe enough before the first session that he was unable to work as an engineer, but after just two sessions it was mild enough that he felt no need for further pain alleviation, as he was now focussed on recapturing his original goal.

You see, it is so often the unexpressed pain of not living one’s life task which causes physical pain.
