... 'cool' ...
Summer is drawing to an end. It is September, and we are still here in Sikinos.
We are looking back on a very intensive Reiki summer! I was able to give many treatments, and René spontaneously taught a seminar. But most of all, I treated René’s foot: he had managed to sustain two fractures at the bases of his toes in a fall in the house. It had to be put in a cast! But Reiki visibly shortened the healing process and supported René’s patience. He needed plenty of that, because being confined to the house meant: no hiking, no swimming!
Particularly touching were the treatments I gave to an elderly French woman. She was not doing well on any level, and she came to me as a last resort. Her husband is a surgeon and, understandably, had his doubts. Yet after the very first treatment, he saw a very significant improvement. After the fourth, he said to me: “We bought a house here ten years ago, and even then I knew there had to be a special reason for it. Now I understand what it was: my wife and I were meant to meet you and Reiki.”
That touched me deeply. It is simply wonderful to see how Reiki can work – and the true beauty of Reiki is, and remains, its simplicity.
A woman who has been coming to me for several treatments every summer for quite a few years now – “for maintenance”, as she always puts it – recently asked me: “Why do you think it is that we get such remarkably good results here in Sikinos, of all places? Could it be because of the special energy Sikinos has?”
Yes, that energy is there. But it is not the main reason for these sometimes spectacular results. I think it has more to do with the fact that people often come to us only as a last resort, when they are in great distress. And it is precisely then that Reiki can fully unfold!
But we do not have to be really unwell before we turn to Reiki for treatment. Prevention is the key word. Or, as my long-standing client puts it so beautifully: “keep ourselves in good working order!”
I wish all of us many beautiful experiences with Reiki and a wonderful autumn.
Namaste,
Mischa
