I truly believe we (human) posses the ability to heal ourselves. I recently came across Reiki, a Japanese art of healing. It is a energy healing system founded by Dr. Mikao Usui. The origin of Reiki can be traced back thousands of years to the ancient cultures of India, Tibet, China and Japan. The technique was rediscovered in the mid 1800’s by Dr. Mikao Usui of Japan.

I came across Reiki because I woke up with severe back and neck ache the other day. The pain was so strong, I was stiff as a board and literally couldn't move. I panicked. I have tried this sensation once before, and then I was laid up in bed for two weeks on the heaviest pain-killers until the muscle spasms eased off and I was slowly able to re-gain normal movement without pain. After that I frequented a physiotherapist for six months before my neck felt normal again. So waking up with this kind of pain 4 years later, really scared me. I called my friend, Malin Landaeus who owns a vintage clothing store, and who also happens to be a Reiki Master. I was supposed to help her that day in the morning. So I called to let her know I couldn't make it as I literally couldn't move out of bed.
She was in her car when I called. She said in a calm voice. "Okay, I am going to drive to your house and give you Reiki." At that point. I just said. "Okay. great, thank you." hung up and thought, this will be interesting... I had no idea what to expect and I almost didn't believe that anything could help me at that point, but I was sure open to give it a try. Anything to get rid of this crazy, stiffness and pain.
So not long after Malin arrived. She asked me to lay on my stomach so she could sit comfortably at the end of the bed. She then placed her hands calmly on the back of the neck. I felt a tingling sensation pretty much the whole time as she moved her hands around very carefully. The session lasted about 40 min. And when she had finished I sat up slightly shaky and slowly realized I had full mobility in the neck. I turned my head slowly to the left, slowly to the right. And I couldn't believe it. She had cured me. For about two days after I was still sore in the neck region, but had full mobility and no pain. Furthermore I ended up going about my daily business that day as normal and felt really energized. In fact this life-force-energy stayed with me for about three days after. It felt like I had been touched by a miracle. And all she did was lay her hands softly on me.

Now I am exited to take her class: Reiki Level One this Spring.
I will recommend this practice to anyone seeking holistic healing. It is natural and so powerful.
And once you know how to do it you can not only easily heal yourself, but others too.
