Reiki Needed
In a recent article the New York Times reported US deaths from suicide are now higher than deaths from automobile accidents. According to the Centers for Disease Control, a surprisingly sharp rise has occurred in suicide among the baby-boomer generation. Suicide in this age group (35-64) rose 30% between 1999 and 2010, with rates among men far higher than among women.
The causes are complex and varied; however, we know that just as infants must have caring touch to thrive, adults also need caring touch for optimum emotional health. Touch can be limited for older adults who have lost a spouse, have limited mobility, live in nursing homes, or experience social isolation.
It goes without saying that Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment for serious emotional illness; however, as Reiki practitioners, we witness daily that treatment raises the spirits and confers a greater sense of peace and well-being on our clients. We render a valuable service by reaching out to those who may be especially vulnerable to emotional distress.

Reiki Stories
Lynn Van Lierop completed Levels I and II with me last fall. Recently, I received this note from her:
 | Lynn and grandson Van
|
"I was at my 9-year-old grandson's ball game tonight. He was pitching and really having a rough time, walking several batters. I could sense his stress and disappointment at not living up to his usual ability. The thought came to me to send him Reiki. I focused, directed my hands toward him, closed my eyes, and said a little prayer. I kid you not, as I beamed Reiki, Van began throwing strikes. He finished the inning with renewed confidence." |
