Welcome to the November issue of The Reiki for Living News.

Beating Diabetes
Last fall I had the great pleasure of visiting friends and colleagues on the East coast and teaching a Healing Visualizations class for a delightful group of Reiki practitioners. Barbara and Dick Kurek hosted me and the class in their lovely Pittsfield, Massachusetts home, where Barb practices and teaches Reiki. She recently sent me the following note:
"As you know, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in May, with an A1C of 13.6. Now, 17 weeks later, my A1C is at 6.2 (slightly below the norm of 6.5). I have shed 33 pounds and three dress sizes along with gaining increased energy.

I attribute this healing to Reiki, along with change to a more whole foods-type eating plan, daily exercise, and the diabetes med Metformin. I have just begun to cut back on the medication.
I typically treat myself with Reiki twice each day and receive Reiki from other practitioners during our weekly Reiki Circle.
Recently, my blood sugar registered 192 after eating, although I had eaten nothing that should have caused the spike. I got on my treatment table and gave myself Reiki for 30 minutes. I checked my blood sugar again, and it had dropped to 118!
The nurse consultants have been extremely impressed with my results and have asked me to be on a diabetes discussion panel at a Diabetes Expo to be held in November. They have asked me to offer Reiki sessions at the Expo with five of my colleagues and have inquired about the possibility offering Reiki to other nurses and interested patients."
An inspiration for others with diabetes, Barb's impressive healing is also a reminder to practitioners that regular self-treatment and receiving Reiki from others can have a powerful impact on improved health.
May all the blessings of the season be yours in great abundance!
