From the outset it must be clearly understood that we live on a
planet of causes and effects, every thing seen on this planet has a
cause and an effect. We live in and are surrounded by all sorts of
effects like wind blowing from the north or a light shining from a
star or a leaf growing on a tree or wealth,
health,suffering,Happiness,Love,Sound,lightning,Music in fact
everything we see, feel, touch, smell, all have causes. Magic is the

name simply applied to happenings where no obvious cause can be
seen, at least to some of those witnessing it.As you can easily
appreciate no effect is without a cause.

We are know witnessing one of the great turnings in our century
where old healing practises are re-emerging such as Reiki healing,
Colour healing, Seichim, Spiritual healing, Osteopathy, Massage and
many others. Some of these are thousands of years old, Spiritual
healing/reiki is one of those. It is exactly the same kind of
energy used by Jesus in so many of his healings.

Put simply Spiritual Healing/Reiki is the transference of certain
energies through a channel which could be a person or an animal or
even the planet, the wavelengths of this healing energy are well
outside the limits of most scientific equipment but a lot of people
can feel this energy .

The energy in my experience has been very uplifting and beautiful
which can touch and vastly influence parts of us such as the spirit
or soul or our mental selves and our physical selves. It can bring a
steadiness and balance and sense of well-being second to none .Its
limits as to its use are in the realms of the infinite.

A very simplistic analogy would be to liken it to a massive energy
reservoir which can be tapped into by people and animals which act
as the conduits of this energy and like wires of electricity some of
which are bigger than others and so therefore big wires can transmit
more energy than smaller wires. Bearing this point in mind the
reader can soon appreciate that going to one spiritual healer ,
Reiki healer can be vastly different than going to another as it is
with so many things whether it be dentists, doctors, policeman or
what have you.

Spiritual Healing, Reiki is natural healing energy, which is present
in this universe. Spiritual healers and Reiki work in many different
ways to some it is the laying on of hands onto a person or animal,
to others it can be sent through the power of thought. To be even in
the presence of some healers can have a profound and beneficial
effect on people and one wishes that there were more people giving
off just as beautiful vibrations as these people were this world
would truly transform it.

Everyone needs healing, because there is not a single person which
on some part of their being does not require healing. I will clarify
that point further because some people are so physically orientated
they perceive people and their suffering on a basis of you look OK
you must be OK.

This perception can be likened to looking at a puddle of water and
because it looks all right and then assuming that because the rest
of the ocean is made of the same kind of stuff it must be the same,
being absolutely oblivious to the rest of the entire ocean.

We are a very complicated beings comprising of many different parts
some of which are the mental self, the subconscious, the Physical
self and the spiritual self. I will leave it up to the reader to
discover the parts of themselves and their true importance to their
well beings.
During the healing process as a general rule people should simply
relax, all sorts of sensations may be felt typically heat, cold,
energy, sometimes even noises from your body.

Who is suitable for healing? All people at all stages of their life
especially the terminally ill;Animals even plants seem to respond.
Will one session be enough? Sometimes but probably a series may be
the answer.
Will healing cure me? All healing from all sources be it Doctor,
drugs, etc comes under the law of Karma.

There are no guarantees that healing from any source may give the
effect which the Desiree wishes.

However it has been my experience that even if you do not get the
effect you desire, on some part of your being you most very probably
will receive some healing, even it is just upliftment. Which can be
extremely valuable

Harry Edwards was one such channel who was told to concentrate on
the next person he hears about who is sick. A case arrived one who
had TB who was dying .He concentrated on that person with his mind
and within 24 hrs the bleeding had stopped the pain had stopped and
the temperature had come down to almost normal. The Doctors
attending were amazed, the man returned to work in a short time.
More cases followed, people came with Cancer, Consumption and other
blights. Of notable healing was a boy with Spinal Meningitis and who
was dying. Harry sought healing for the boy and within a short
period of time the boy’s parents were astonished to find their boy
sitting up in bed, the doctors looking on in amazement. A growing
queue was starting to form at his house and mail started to arrive.
But what truly amazed harry was the use of Absent healing where the
healing was sent by thought, the patient was not even present but it
seemed even more effective.

To cope with the growing demands of his work he set up a healing
sanctuary at Burrows lea in surrey and his secretaries started
answering the hundreds of letters which came each day. He was in
constant demand to give talks all over England. Then on one day he
had the great urge to demonstrate what he could do before an
audience “is there anyone suffering from Arthritis”? he asked.
Hands shot up from all over the auditorium, which started off the
public healing. The demonstrations grew, a thousand people attended
a demonstration at Croydon and typically Harry would treat
Arthritis, Spinal curvature, Deafness and poor sight. One lady who
had not been able to walk for three years was given healing, after a
few minutes of healing she walked down the aisle much to the
audience’s delight. A child of six had her spinal curvature
straightened much to people’s amazement.

Gradually over the years of healing he drew together the letters and
testimonials and presented them in an incredible book called The
evidence for Spiritual Healing which contained ten thousand cures,
yes that’s right ten thousand .

Newspapers captured the signs with headlines like `’Sight restored
after seventeen years” `’the Deaf hear” `’After healing the
cripple danced” `’Paralysed children walk off the stage
unaided”and so on.

He would make the point quite clear that Spiritual Healing was not
faith healing and if it were so young babies and mental cases with
no comprehension about faith would not even respond.

On another occasion Harry was called before a panel of Doctors who
presented him with their very own patients. The first patient had
Disseminated Sclerosis and came in with two helpers. On the first
treatment mobility was restored to the spastic spine then co-
ordination of the leg movements followed, she responded well and
started to walk, the session ended with the Doctors asking for
healing for their own personal troubles. Then royalty sought him out
Princess Marie Louise granddaughter of Queen Victoria sought healing
for Arthritis and she was instrumental in the royals attending the
sanctuary.

In less than five years Harry had received no less than one million
letters and in less than seven years over forty thousand people
attended the sanctuary.

In the thirty years from the time he moved to Burrows lea up to his
passing in 1976 he received an average of 9000 letters a week .In
over thirty years he received over 14 million letters from patients.

Harry passed to the other side of life in 1976 but not before
teaching Ray and Joan branch how to continue with the good work at
Burrows lea where they still are today.

Happily now Spiritual healers are used quite extensively in the
N.H.S, in fact they are in over 1500 hospitals and at long last a
lot of churches have finally complied with what the master told them
to do two thousand years ago and that is to go forth and heal the
sick. In the year 2000 even our prince Charles published a report
stating that spiritual healers should be extensively available
throughout the entire NHS. Over 7000 healers are now registered to
treat patients in the health system. I know of no cases where
spiritual healing when given by a trained healer has been
detrimental in any way, I know of no side effects except better
health.

Just a few reports –"When I had finished treating him, it was a real
delight to see how wonderfully glad he was to be able to use his
legs, feet, arms and hands again… and then he told me: "When I
came here, I was convinced no one could help me, and I came only to
please my Aunt, who brought me."

You worked a miracle with his father when he was very ill 1983-84
when I wrote to you, but you will be pleased to know he is now
working for the Council and lives a fairly normal life.
"You and the late Harry Edwards helped me so often and indeed I am
still pressing on 18 years after I was expected to die from my last
bout of cancer."

"On behalf of my mother, daughter and myself may I thank you for the
lovely day at your Sanctuary last Tuesday. My mother is so much
better it is truly amazing. She can stretch out her arms and even
raise them to her head and her walking is much stronger. My daughter
was very impressed, too."
My condition improved in as much as I now have much more self-
confidence and ability to deal with my everyday life.

Reiki,
Millions of people are aware of this fantastic healing energy and
there are literally thousands of healers [channels for this energy].

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which
means "God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force
energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force
energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows
through and around you. Reiki treats the person including body,
emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects
including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being.
Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and
self-improvement that a lot of people can use. It has been effective
in helping virtually every known illness and malady and can create a
very beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other
medical or therapeutic techniques sometimes to relieve side effects
and promote recovery.

An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is
not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student
during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during
an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to
tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one’s
health and enhance the quality of life.

It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages
and backgrounds.
The Reiki system of healing is a technique for transmitting this
subtle energy to yourself and others. Reiki can restore energy
balance and vitality by relieving the physical and emotional effects
of unreleased stress. It can gently and effectively open blocked
meridians, nadas and chakras, and clears the energy bodies, leaving
one feeling relaxed and at peace.

Reiki can accelerate healing. Assist the body in cleansing toxins.
Balance the flow of subtle energy by releasing blockages. Help the
client contact the ‘healer within.’
A treatment feels like warm, gentle sunshine, which flows through
you, surrounds you and comforts you. Reiki treats the person’s body,
emotions, mind and spirit as a whole. Reiki is a simple, natural and
safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that most
people can use. Reiki is powerful, yet wonderfully gentle and
nurturing.

During a treatment, the clients usually remain fully clothed. Reiki
is an effective alternative, or complement to massage therapy. Reiki
can support any medical or supplemental healing methods a client may
be using and is of growing interest to chiropractors, medical
doctors, physiotherapists, psychotherapists, psychologists and
hypnotherapists. In fact it is in use by quite a few doctors.

A Brief History of Reiki.
The history of Reiki, like all other histories, is tainted with
different views of the one event.
Reiki is seemingly an ancient form of healing that was lost and then
rediscovered, during a mystical experience, by Dr. Mikao Usui who
was a Japanese psychic. In 1922 Dr. Usui started a healing society
in Japan. He created three degrees (or levels) for Reiki healing and
initiated a small number of followers. One of his followers, Dr.
Hayashi, a retired naval officer, was charged with preserving Reiki.
He did this and further developed the Usui system.

He gave the knowledge to his wife and to Mrs. Hawayo Takata. Mrs.
Takata practiced Reiki healing and initiated twenty-two people into
Reiki mastership Today, Reiki is known and practiced in many parts
of the world and is increasing in popularity and acceptance.

One problem a student might have in learning Reiki is the existence
of different Reiki schools, giving different attitudes and different
symbols by different teachers.
All that is required is a genuine desire for spiritual growth and
an open mind.

Reiki Research
There are now quite a few experiments that validate the usefulness
of Reiki and other vibrational healing techniques. The following are
few of the more interesting experiments.
A registered nurse describes a Reiki experiment she conducted in her
paper, "Reiki Healing: A Physiologic Perspective." In her study,
forty-eight people made up the experimental group while 10 made up a
control group. Both groups had blood samples taken at the beginning
and at the end of the experiment. The experimental group received
First Degree Reiki training. The control group was not involved in
the Reiki training.

The blood samples were measured for hemoglobin and hematocrit
values. Hemoglobin is the part of red blood cells that carry oxygen.
Hematocrit is the ratio of red blood cells to total blood volume.
The people in the experimental group who received Reiki training
experienced a significant change in these values with 28 percent
experiencing an increase and the remainder experiencing a decrease.
The people in the control group who did not receive Reiki training
experienced no significant change.

It is thought that changes, whether an increase or decrease are
consistent with the purpose of Reiki which is to bring balance on an
individual basis.
One individual experienced a 20% increase in these values. She
continued to treat herself with Reiki daily and after three months,
her increase had been maintained and in fact had continued to
improve. This improvement was appropriate for her as she had been
experiencing iron deficiency anemia.

Another experiment using a Reiki like technique has also
demonstrated its ability to increase hemoglobin values. A medical
doctor conducted an experiment with a group of 79 sick patients.
Together the patients had a wide range of diagnosed illnesses
including pancreatitis, brain tumor, emphysema, multiple endocrine
disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, and congestive heart failure.
Laying-on hands treatments were given to 46 patients with 33 as
controls. The treated patients showed significant increases in
hemoglobin values.

The effect was so pronounced that even cancer patients who were
being treated with bone marrow-suppressive agents which predictably
induce decreases in hemoglobin values showed an increase. The
majority of patients also reported improvement or complete
disappearance of symptoms. Both this experiment and the one above,
demonstrate that healers are able to induce actual biological
improvements in the patients they treat rather than simply create a
feeling of well being.

Laying-on hands healing has been validated by experiments carried
out at St. Vincent’s medical Center in New York. The experiment was
carried out by Janet Quinn, assistant director of nursing at the
University of South Carolina. The design of this experiment tends to
rule out the placebo effect. Thirty heart patients were given a 20
question psychological test to determine their level of anxiety.
Then they were treated by a group trained in laying-on hands
healing. A control group of patients were also treated by sham
healers who imitated the same positions as those who had training.
Anxiety levels dropped 17 percent after only five minutes treatment
by trained practitioners, but those who were only imitating a
treatment created no effect.

Daniel Wirth of Healing Sciences International in Orinda, California
conducted a tightly controlled experiment involving a Reiki-like
healing technique.

Forty-four male college students received identical minor wounds
deliberately inflicted by a doctor in the right or left shoulder.
Twenty-three then received a Reiki like healing and the other twenty-
one did not. The treatments were given in such a way that the
possibility of a placebo effect was ruled out. All forty-four
students extend their arms though a hole in the wall. In the other
room, a trained healer was present for those who received healing
and administered healing from a distance without touching.

For those who did not receive healing, no one was present in the
room. Both the students and the doctor who administered the wounds
and later also evaluated their healing rate had been told that the
experiment was about the electrical conductivity of the body.
Neither knew that the experiment was about healing. Eight and
sixteen day follow-up measurements of the rate of wound healing were
done.

After eight days, the treated groups wounds had shrunk 93.5 percent
compared with 67.3 percent for those not treated. After sixteen
days, the figures were 99.3 and 90.9. After debriefing, the students
stated they did not know the true nature of the experiment and had
felt no contact with the healer. The possibility that expectations
of the students caused the healing was ruled out.
Dr. John Zimmerman of the University of Colorado using a SQUID
(Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) has discovered that
magnetic fields several hundred times stronger than background noise
are created around the hands of trained healers when doing healing
work on patients.

No such fields are created by sham’ healers making the same
movements indicating something special is happening with the trained
healers. The frequencies of the magnetic fields surrounding the
hands of the trained healers were of the alpha and theta wave range
similar to those seen in the brain of meditators.

Dr. Barnard Grad of McGill University in Montreal, used barley seeds
to test the effect of psychic healing energies on plants. The seeds
were planted in pots and watered with a saline solution, which is
known to retard their sprouting and growth. With elaborate double-
blind conditions set-up, one group of seeds were watered with saline
solution that had been treated by a psychic healer.

Dr. Grad carried out similar experiments involving tap water and
plants. Sealed containers of water were given to a psychic healer to
hold and others were given to a severely depressed patient to hold.
The plants watered with the healer-held water had an increased
growth rate and those watered with the water held by the severely
depressed patient had a decrease in growth rate compared to
controls.
These experiments involving plants, in addition to confirming the
non-placebo nature of psychic healing, scientifically confirm the
ancient metaphysical understanding that healing energies can be
stored in water for future use.

In another experiment involving psychic healer Olga Worrall, Dr.
Robert Miller used an electromechanical transducer to measure the
microscopic growth rate of rye grass. The device used has an
accuracy of one thousandth of an inch per hour. Dr. Miller set-up
the experiment in his laboratory and then left, locking the door
behind him to eliminate any unnecessary disturbance. Olga, located
over 600 miles away was asked to pray for the test plant at exactly
9 PM that evening.

When Dr. Miller returned to the laboratory the next day, the test
equipment had recorded normal continuous growth of 6.25 thousandths
of an inch per hour up to 9 PM. At that time, the record began to
deviate upward and had risen to 52.5 thousands of an inch per hour
which was an increase of 840 percent! This increased growth rate
remained till morning when it decreased but never to its original
level.

The Spindrift group has done extensive research involving prayer and
plants. Their results indicate that prayed for plants always grow
faster and are healthier than non-prayed for plants even though the
conditions are equal for both groups of plants and those doing the
praying are miles away. These results were consistent regardless of
the distance involved and occurred over and over. They are described
by Robert Owen in his book, "Qualitative Research: The early years":

One of the interesting results of their research work is that they
were best when the prayer was non-directional, that is when the
prayer was simply for the plants general well-being, rather than for
a specific result, such as a certain growth rate or overall height.
More experiments are being done and scientific theories are being
developed to describe Reiki and Reiki like healing techniques. As we
continue into the millennium, increasing interest along with more
sensitive equipment will allow science to more completely
understand, validate, and accept the reality of Reiki. As this
happens, we will see increasing use of Reiki and other laying-on
hands healing coming into common use by individuals for themselves
and family along with its use in hospitals and doctors offices.

The deeper understanding about the nature of health and the unity of
all life this re-discovered age old wisdom will provide will reduce
suffering and make earth a more worthwhile place to live. With this
in mind, let us be encouraged to continue in the spirit of Reiki to
help others and to heal the planet.

Practitioners have some real interesting stories. Reiki can also
enhances natural abilities. If you are an artist, it can help
develop your artistic expression. If you have an intuitive sense,
Reiki can heighten that. If you have a business head, Reiki can
enhance that as well. In the practice of Reiki, working with energy
helps you to connect with your path, your skills, and develop your
senses. But it takes practice and trusting what you feel.

Karuna Reiki
Laura gifford gives some interesting differences between reiki and
Karuna Reiki and says that Reiki increases the awareness of the way
God works in life. Usui Reiki, is the connection to the highest and
most holy spiritual energies. Usui Reiki is unconditional Love. Usui
Reiki is gentle and peaceful, but very powerful. Usui Reiki is a
conduit for Karuna Reiki® to flow through.
When receiving Karuna:

Karuna Reiki® is very serious, let’s get down to business energy.
Karuna Reiki® energy goes very deep, gently, but quickly. She
describes vibrating at a rapidly increasing rate, feeling like more
light than I am flesh. The first few times she received a Karuna
treatment she describes rising out of her body, and was taken into
the symbols used. One repeated occurrence has been that she has seen
flashes of traumatic experiences in this life, and from other times.
They appeared as if I am looking through a picture window.

The image briefly comes into focus so she was clear on what she was
seeing, and then a beam of white and gold light pierces the images
and shatters them into zillions of pieces, which immediately become
pure light. When she had these experiences she also felt and at
times saw physical releases within my body. She experienced deep
physical and emotional healing.

She describes Karuna being profoundly transformational for her as
Usui Reiki and she felt that it had come into her life to assist her
in her growth. She says how multi-dimensional Karuna feels to her.
She felt it working simultaneously on the emotional, mental and
physical bodies, and it has her me layers in her energy field and
within her consciousness that go beyond anything she can
intellectually comprehend. Karuna Reiki® takes her to that space
beyond form, color, time and sound that just cannot be described
within the constraints of words except perhaps, the purest sense of
peace, and total love she have ever felt.

Those words don’t even do it justice.
She also had sensations of Karuna Reiki® reaching into other times,
connecting with karmic issues, and flashing through incarnations
linking them and bringing the related lessons to her conscious
awareness, and offering her the opportunity to transmute it in the
moment. So in this sense, she felt it very gracefully transcends
time and space on many levels simultaneously. She also used Karuna
Reiki® to do spirit release work with others.

Spiritual healing/ reiki to many people conjures up so many images
and meanings, for those who do not know what it is all about, all
that I would ask is that you approach the subject with an open
unprejudiced mind and with a wish to explore and evaluate the
evidence carefully and properly. It is hoped with such an attitude
truth will prevail and misconceptions from misguided people will be
put in their rightful place.

From the outset it must be clearly understood that we live on a
planet of causes and effects, every thing seen on this planet has a
cause and an effect. We live in and are surrounded by all sorts of
effects like wind blowing from the north or a light shining from a

star or a leaf growing on a tree or wealth,
health,suffering,Happiness,Love,Sound,lightning,Music in fact
everything we see, feel, touch, smell, all have causes. Magic is the

when I wrote to you, but you will be pleased to know he is now
working for the Council and lives a fairly normal life.
"You and the late Harry Edwards helped me so often and indeed I am
still pressing on 18 years after I was expected to die from my last
bout of cancer."

"On behalf of my mother, daughter and myself may I thank you for the
lovely day at your Sanctuary last Tuesday. My mother is so much
better it is truly amazing. She can stretch out her arms and even
raise them to her head and her walking is much stronger. My daughter
was very impressed, too."
My condition improved in as much as I now have much more self-

Reiki,
Millions of people are aware of this fantastic healing energy and
there are literally thousands of healers [channels for this energy].

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which
means "God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force
energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force
energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows
through and around you. Reiki treats the person including body,
emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects
including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being.
Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and
self-improvement that a lot of people can use. It has been effective
in helping virtually every known illness and malady and can create a
very beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other
medical or therapeutic techniques sometimes to relieve side effects
and promote recovery.

An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is
not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student
during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during
an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to
tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one’s
health and enhance the quality of life.

It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages
and backgrounds.
The Reiki system of healing is a technique for transmitting this
subtle energy to yourself and others. Reiki can restore energy
balance and vitality by relieving the physical and emotional effects
of unreleased stress. It can gently and effectively open blocked
meridians, nadas and chakras, and clears the energy bodies, leaving
one feeling relaxed and at peace.

Reiki can accelerate healing. Assist the body in cleansing toxins.
Balance the flow of subtle energy by releasing blockages. Help the
client contact the ‘healer within.’
A treatment feels like warm, gentle sunshine, which flows through
you, surrounds you and comforts you. Reiki treats the person’s body,
emotions, mind and spirit as a whole. Reiki is a simple, natural and
safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that most
people can use. Reiki is powerful, yet wonderfully gentle and
nurturing.

During a treatment, the clients usually remain fully clothed. Reiki
is an effective alternative, or complement to massage therapy. Reiki
can support any medical or supplemental healing methods a client may
be using and is of growing interest to chiropractors, medical
doctors, physiotherapists, psychotherapists, psychologists and
hypnotherapists. In fact it is in use by quite a few doctors.

A Brief History of Reiki.
The history of Reiki, like all other histories, is tainted with
different views of the one event.
Reiki is seemingly an ancient form of healing that was lost and then
rediscovered, during a mystical experience, by Dr. Mikao Usui who
was a Japanese psychic. In 1922 Dr. Usui started a healing society
in Japan. He created three degrees (or levels) for Reiki healing and
initiated a small number of followers. One of his followers, Dr.
Hayashi, a retired naval officer, was charged with preserving Reiki.
He did this and further developed the Usui system.

He gave the knowledge to his wife and to Mrs. Hawayo Takata. Mrs.
Takata practiced Reiki healing and initiated twenty-two people into
Reiki mastership Today, Reiki is known and practiced in many parts
of the world and is increasing in popularity and acceptance.

One problem a student might have in learning Reiki is the existence
of different Reiki schools, giving different attitudes and different
symbols by different teachers.
All that is required is a genuine desire for spiritual growth and
an open mind.

Reiki Research
There are now quite a few experiments that validate the usefulness
of Reiki and other vibrational healing techniques. The following are
few of the more interesting experiments.
A registered nurse describes a Reiki experiment she conducted in her
paper, "Reiki Healing: A Physiologic Perspective." In her study,
forty-eight people made up the experimental group while 10 made up a
control group. Both groups had blood samples taken at the beginning
and at the end of the experiment. The experimental group received
First Degree Reiki training. The control group was not involved in
the Reiki training.

The blood samples were measured for hemoglobin and hematocrit
values. Hemoglobin is the part of red blood cells that carry oxygen.
Hematocrit is the ratio of red blood cells to total blood volume.
The people in the experimental group who received Reiki training
experienced a significant change in these values with 28 percent
experiencing an increase and the remainder experiencing a decrease.
The people in the control group who did not receive Reiki training
experienced no significant change.

It is thought that changes, whether an increase or decrease are
consistent with the purpose of Reiki which is to bring balance on an
individual basis.
One individual experienced a 20% increase in these values. She
continued to treat herself with Reiki daily and after three months,
her increase had been maintained and in fact had continued to
improve. This improvement was appropriate for her as she had been
experiencing iron deficiency anemia.

Another experiment using a Reiki like technique has also
demonstrated its ability to increase hemoglobin values. A medical
doctor conducted an experiment with a group of 79 sick patients.
Together the patients had a wide range of diagnosed illnesses
including pancreatitis, brain tumor, emphysema, multiple endocrine
disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, and congestive heart failure.
Laying-on hands treatments were given to 46 patients with 33 as
controls. The treated patients showed significant increases in
hemoglobin values.

The effect was so pronounced that even cancer patients who were
being treated with bone marrow-suppressive agents which predictably
induce decreases in hemoglobin values showed an increase. The
majority of patients also reported improvement or complete
disappearance of symptoms. Both this experiment and the one above,
demonstrate that healers are able to induce actual biological
improvements in the patients they treat rather than simply create a
feeling of well being.

Laying-on hands healing has been validated by experiments carried
out at St. Vincent’s medical Center in New York. The experiment was
carried out by Janet Quinn, assistant director of nursing at the
University of South Carolina. The design of this experiment tends to
rule out the placebo effect. Thirty heart patients were given a 20
question psychological test to determine their level of anxiety.
Then they were treated by a group trained in laying-on hands
healing. A control group of patients were also treated by sham
healers who imitated the same positions as those who had training.
Anxiety levels dropped 17 percent after only five minutes treatment
by trained practitioners, but those who were only imitating a
treatment created no effect.

Daniel Wirth of Healing Sciences International in Orinda, California
conducted a tightly controlled experiment involving a Reiki-like
healing technique.

Forty-four male college students received identical minor wounds
deliberately inflicted by a doctor in the right or left shoulder.
Twenty-three then received a Reiki like healing and the other twenty-
one did not. The treatments were given in such a way that the
possibility of a placebo effect was ruled out. All forty-four
students extend their arms though a hole in the wall. In the other
room, a trained healer was present for those who received healing
and administered healing from a distance without touching.

For those who did not receive healing, no one was present in the
room. Both the students and the doctor who administered the wounds
and later also evaluated their healing rate had been told that the
experiment was about the electrical conductivity of the body.
Neither knew that the experiment was about healing. Eight and
sixteen day follow-up measurements of the rate of wound healing were
done.

After eight days, the treated groups wounds had shrunk 93.5 percent
compared with 67.3 percent for those not treated. After sixteen
days, the figures were 99.3 and 90.9. After debriefing, the students
stated they did not know the true nature of the experiment and had
felt no contact with the healer. The possibility that expectations
of the students caused the healing was ruled out.
Dr. John Zimmerman of the University of Colorado using a SQUID
(Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) has discovered that
magnetic fields several hundred times stronger than background noise
are created around the hands of trained healers when doing healing
work on patients.

No such fields are created by sham’ healers making the same
movements indicating something special is happening with the trained
healers. The frequencies of the magnetic fields surrounding the
hands of the trained healers were of the alpha and theta wave range
similar to those seen in the brain of meditators.

Dr. Barnard Grad of McGill University in Montreal, used barley seeds
to test the effect of psychic healing energies on plants. The seeds
were planted in pots and watered with a saline solution, which is
known to retard their sprouting and growth. With elaborate double-
blind conditions set-up, one group of seeds were watered with saline
solution that had been treated by a psychic healer.

Dr. Grad carried out similar experiments involving tap water and
plants. Sealed containers of water were given to a psychic healer to
hold and others were given to a severely depressed patient to hold.
The plants watered with the healer-held water had an increased
growth rate and those watered with the water held by the severely
depressed patient had a decrease in growth rate compared to
controls.
These experiments involving plants, in addition to confirming the
non-placebo nature of psychic healing, scientifically confirm the
ancient metaphysical understanding that healing energies can be
stored in water for future use.

In another experiment involving psychic healer Olga Worrall, Dr.
Robert Miller used an electromechanical transducer to measure the
microscopic growth rate of rye grass. The device used has an
accuracy of one thousandth of an inch per hour. Dr. Miller set-up
the experiment in his laboratory and then left, locking the door
behind him to eliminate any unnecessary disturbance. Olga, located
over 600 miles away was asked to pray for the test plant at exactly
9 PM that evening.

When Dr. Miller returned to the laboratory the next day, the test
equipment had recorded normal continuous growth of 6.25 thousandths
of an inch per hour up to 9 PM. At that time, the record began to
deviate upward and had risen to 52.5 thousands of an inch per hour
which was an increase of 840 percent! This increased growth rate
remained till morning when it decreased but never to its original
level.

The Spindrift group has done extensive research involving prayer and
plants. Their results indicate that prayed for plants always grow
faster and are healthier than non-prayed for plants even though the
conditions are equal for both groups of plants and those doing the
praying are miles away. These results were consistent regardless of
the distance involved and occurred over and over. They are described
by Robert Owen in his book, "Qualitative Research: The early years":

One of the interesting results of their research work is that they
were best when the prayer was non-directional, that is when the
prayer was simply for the plants general well-being, rather than for
a specific result, such as a certain growth rate or overall height.
More experiments are being done and scientific theories are being
developed to describe Reiki and Reiki like healing techniques. As we
continue into the millennium, increasing interest along with more
sensitive equipment will allow science to more completely
understand, validate, and accept the reality of Reiki. As this
happens, we will see increasing use of Reiki and other laying-on
hands healing coming into common use by individuals for themselves
and family along with its use in hospitals and doctors offices.

The deeper understanding about the nature of health and the unity of
all life this re-discovered age old wisdom will provide will reduce
suffering and make earth a more worthwhile place to live. With this
in mind, let us be encouraged to continue in the spirit of Reiki to
help others and to heal the planet.

Practitioners have some real interesting stories. Reiki can also
enhances natural abilities. If you are an artist, it can help
develop your artistic expression. If you have an intuitive sense,
Reiki can heighten that. If you have a business head, Reiki can
enhance that as well. In the practice of Reiki, working with energy
helps you to connect with your path, your skills, and develop your
senses. But it takes practice and trusting what you feel.

Karuna Reiki
Laura gifford gives some interesting differences between reiki and
Karuna Reiki and says that Reiki increases the awareness of the way
God works in life. Usui Reiki, is the connection to the highest and
most holy spiritual energies. Usui Reiki is unconditional Love. Usui
Reiki is gentle and peaceful, but very powerful. Usui Reiki is a
conduit for Karuna Reiki® to flow through.
When receiving Karuna:

Karuna Reiki® is very serious, let’s get down to business energy.
Karuna Reiki® energy goes very deep, gently, but quickly. She
describes vibrating at a rapidly increasing rate, feeling like more
light than I am flesh. The first few times she received a Karuna
treatment she describes rising out of her body, and was taken into
the symbols used. One repeated occurrence has been that she has seen
flashes of traumatic experiences in this life, and from other times.
They appeared as if I am looking through a picture window.

The image briefly comes into focus so she was clear on what she was
seeing, and then a beam of white and gold light pierces the images
and shatters them into zillions of pieces, which immediately become
pure light. When she had these experiences she also felt and at
times saw physical releases within my body. She experienced deep
physical and emotional healing.

She describes Karuna being profoundly transformational for her as
Usui Reiki and she felt that it had come into her life to assist her
in her growth. She says how multi-dimensional Karuna feels to her.
She felt it working simultaneously on the emotional, mental and
physical bodies, and it has her me layers in her energy field and
within her consciousness that go beyond anything she can
intellectually comprehend. Karuna Reiki® takes her to that space
beyond form, color, time and sound that just cannot be described
within the constraints of words except perhaps, the purest sense of
peace, and total love she have ever felt.

Those words don’t even do it justice.
She also had sensations of Karuna Reiki® reaching into other times,
connecting with karmic issues, and flashing through incarnations
linking them and bringing the related lessons to her conscious
awareness, and offering her the opportunity to transmute it in the
moment. So in this sense, she felt it very gracefully transcends
time and space on many levels simultaneously. She also used Karuna
Reiki® to do spirit release work with others.

The Edgar Cayce approach to treating psoriasis
Cayce takes an entirely different approach to this malady siting the
causes in case after case of an internal problem. Thinning of the
walls of the intestinal tract namely at the jejunum and the
duodenum, the thinning allows toxic products from the intestine to
actually leak into the circulatory system and then it finds way into
the lymph flow of the skin.

When the blood and lymph systems are unable to cope with these
poisons i.e. they are not being eliminated as quickly as they are
forming then the inflamed skin condition known as psoriasis is
produced. This condition Cayce said was not always from the same
cause.But is always caused by a condition of lack of lymph
circulation through the alimentary canal and by absorption of such
activities through the body.

Treatment
This should focus on ridding the body of these circulating poisons
and bring about a gradual healing of the intestinal tract lesions
while improving coordination between the organ systems. This would
clear the skin permanently by getting rid of the cause. This is
really getting at the cause of the problem.

IN NEARLY EVERY CASE DIETARY IMPROVEMENTS WERE MANDATORY.Since toxic
elements tended to be acidic in nature, the general diet was to
promote alkalinity and thus bring about a better acid/alkaline
balance to the system. Emphasis was on fresh fruit and vegetables to
promote better elimination’s of the intestinal tract. One meal a day
should consist of raw vegetables wholly, oil maybe used as a salad
dressing. Little meat except fish fowl and lamb was mentioned.
Eliminate fats sweets and pastries from the diet. Wines were OK but
not stronger drinks, not rum or the like.

Good bowel movements were second to the diet; again helping the body
rid itself of these toxic forces. Which included Enemas,colonics,
and laxatives .

Physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, the violet ray and sunlight are used to
stimulate better circulation Osteopathy was also used to relive
pressure upon he autonomic ganglia and related systems and thus
improve circulation.

Herbal remedies to promote healing of these lesions were nearly
always prescibed. Yellow safron, chamomile and mullein teas. Ground
elm bark mixed with water or the chewing of slippery elm bark was
advised to stimulate the digestive secretions.
Very little attention is given to the treating of the skin lesions
at all, since these only reflect what is wrong with the general
system.

Stimulating the circulation was also advised, hydrotherapy,
physiotherapy including massage with a combination of olive oil and
peanut oil, the violet ray was also advised. Also Sunlight to build
up a good perspiration would be good for the body.
Palliatives such as resinol and cuticura ointment were mentioned –
apply one following the other and apply these over the areas over
the abrasions.

One final comment made by Cayce when asked if there was an absolute
cure was. Most of the answers lie in the diet these is a cure it
requires patience, persistence and right thinking.

Suggested diet
At least three mornings each week have rolled crushed or cracked
wheat –not cooked to long which destroys the vitamin content, this
will add the iron, silicon, vitamins etc- to build the blood supply.
At other times have citrus fruits – juices, the yolk of eggs but not
the white portion of them. Brown bread with butter. Ovaltine coffee
[without milk of cream] or milk alone. Occasionally stewed fruits
like prunes, raisons, figs, apricots. But do not eat citrus fruits
with cereals or gruel’s or any of the breakfast foods.
During the morning have a malted milk preferably with the raw egg in
same or a taste of the spirits frumenti.

Noon raw fresh vegetables- none cooked at this meal, like tomatoes,
lettuce, celery, spinach, carrots beet tops, mustard, onions or the
like [not cucumbers]. No quantities of broths or soups at this time.
Evenings- broths, soups may be taken in small measure .Let the meal
consist of vegetables that are well cooked and a little of the light
meats if you must. No fried foods at all were advised.

There is a supplementary commentary in the files by john Pagano D.C,
a cooperating physician about the use of Lecithin.

He highly advises all psoriasis sufferers should include this.
Lecithin is a fat emulsifier; it seemingly keeps fat from
accumulating in the arteries by keeping it in suspension. Which
should be great news for those who have a tendency for clogging
arteries. He quotes in Adele Davis book when 254 patients who had
psoriasis were given 4-8 tablespoons of lecithin daily no new
eruptions occurred after the first week and even the most severe
cases recovered within 5 months. John advises the granular form of
the product as this should be most effective 3-4 tablespoons of the
stuff each day until the condition has cleared then 1-2 daily
thereafter as a preventative.Take this any way you can, just get it
down, because of the phosphoric acid content it should be very good
for brain and nerve tissue and for all patients with any type of
degenerative diseases such scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, MS
Muscular dystrophy or even Myasthenia gravis. There were cases where
he had found this beneficial.
