Did You Reiki Today?

 

       Our granddaughter, Andria, is now 11 years of age.  Hard to believe that just a few moments ago she was a tiny seven pounds you could hold in one hand.  As an infant and in early childhood, she would sometimes get sinus or throat irritations with resulting headaches.  When Andria began talking, she expressed how her headache felt by saying “my head is thumping”.   And, if a headache occurred during one of our cherished visits she would call out with her quiet, sweet voice, “Nana, put your hands on me, my head is thumping.”   Of course, she was asking for me to give her Reiki.  She had learned from infancy that when Nana touched her, everything was better.  There were even times when she, without saying a word, would just come, sit next to me, pick up my hands and put them on her head, neck or arm, etc.  She instinctively knew that the warm feeling coming through my hands was not ‘me’, but came from a source she could not see.  And, it always made her feel better very quickly.

       Children just naturally understand pure Love and that Life is more than we see and not to be controlled; so, just as naturally, they so easily and gladly use the Divine energy that moves through them to assist others.  Of course, early on I began sharing with Andria how to use her own heart as a channel for healing herself and others.  She loves doing this and because of her compassion for all life, one of her greatest joys is to help the helpless whether they be people, animal or plant and that includes …….bugs, frogs, puppies, birds, flowers….you name it, she will assist by ‘touching’.  The results are that her whole face lights up as she watches her ‘patient’ respond so positively, and many times miraculously.  And, wow! — There is no expressing how it feels when she puts those tiny hands on my own shoulders and I am instantly relieved of pain.  The power that flows through those hands is absolutely huge.  I believe it is because she knows no fear and has no doubts.  She just knows It Is Life and as such, It gives Life to anything or anyone who receives It.

      Yes, by the time she was 8, I had taught Andria the basics of Reiki and I am so delighted to know that for her lifetime she can use the skills of healing through Reiki to bring greater joy and living to others, including the animal and plant life that fills our world with completeness.  Andria also knows that Reiki can be used personally each day for balancing our body’s energy systems and assisting to keep clear channels for Divine guidance as we move through our daily life.

      So, it is that when we have one of our wonderful phone visits, she usually has lots to tell me about her day and all its activities and without adieu, will share some experience where she helped another, be it human, animal or plant life, and you know I’m lovin’ it!   And, sometimes during the conversation, she will ask “Nana,  did you Reiki today?
