It was a very interesting start to our Pathology class last night. The teacher needed help, and I opened my mouth and offered.

Gretchen is a navy doctor that is teaching our class. She is very good and knows so much that I can’t imagine holding all that information in one head. She started talking and then, since we seemed like the right people to ask, she told us about the pain in her neck (and no, she wasn’t talking about me). (Actually, I have been told that I can be a pain in another location.)

She had a pain in the back of her neck from the night before. It had been hurting then, and she had gotten her husband to rub it, but that only made it worse. Since we were massage therapists, we seemed to be the right people to ask for help. One of the students immediately went up to work on some of the pressure points that affect this. She said that if they are held for 15 minutes, it should work. Unfortunately, she wasn’t there that long. She did some other things also, but none seemed to do any good.

Gretchen started talking again, and I asked her if she was still in pain. She told me yes, and I asked if I could try helping. She said sure. As I was walking over to her, at least one of the other students rolled their eyes and one said, “well, here comes the Reiki again.”

Now, this is the time we practitioners all like to see, an opportunity to convince a skeptic. The problem is that every time you say, “watch this”, that’s when things usually don’t work. This is why I never promise to make the pain go away. I usually offer to help in hopes that I might be able to do something. Needless to say, I was a little bit nervous, and this hindered me at first.

I went behind her and hand scanned to locate the pain. I worked a little massage then started pulling out energy and sending it to the ground. Gretchen told me that her neck was very hot where the problem was. I had my hand over that area, but was not touching her. After I pulled out a lot, I turned around and did Reiki. While doing this, she told me that it was moving around. It would go up into her head, or down into her left shoulder. Straight Reiki was obviously not working as the problem energy was evading me. (I have seen this before where problem energies move around to evade a healer. I hate it when they do that.)

I changed my tactics again, and surrounded the energy and pushed it together and pulled it out, again. This still didn’t ‘fix’ it. I then went in with psychic surgery and started working on it from the inside. I saw that the cause of this pain was in her right brain. (What is it about the right brain? Most every problem I have worked inside that kept running from me, originated in the brain.)

I realized I needed help, and went upstairs to ask that she be healed, that I be a tool for healing. I was next inside riding a wave of tremendous energy. I put one hand at the back of her neck and one on the right side of her head. I was inside blasting energy into everywhere I could find until it was like sitting inside a nuclear explosion. When I came out, she told me that I had gotten 80% of it. I then went back in for the remaining 20%.

When I was done, I broke, and smoothed and patted her aura, then I went back to my place (still shaking a bit from the amount of energy that had gone through me). Gretchen was amazed. Her pain was gone, well, all except a little in her shoulder. I reached my energy across the room and removed that last bit. (I think that more than anything surprised everyone in the room.) At any rate, Gretchen was very surprised as she was free of pain. She made a comment that the pain was gone and that she obviously believed that I had stopped it, but “This can’t happen. I’m a scientist, dammit.” I just told her that she has now had her first introduction into oriental energy healing.   

After class, I gave her a business card, and told her to check out my website for more information on Reiki. I told her I also teach. She replied with “I have to believe first.” I then asked if she had any neck pain to which her response was “no”.
