Reiki and the Teachings and Values of Jesus
by Marita Aicher-Swartz
"Through the use of Reiji-ho before a session I ask that God use my
mind, heart, and hands as instruments of love and goodness.
I ask that God’s love flow into each cell, tissue, organ and bone of the client’s body where there is need for healing and into those areas of their spiritual and emotional life in need of balance and wholeness. Because I do not know fully where these areas are, I trust that the God who lives within them will complete the work I have asked him to do “for their highest good”. God knows where the healing is ultimately needed! This is one of the magnificent gifts of Reiki – “letting go and letting God”. Reiki has taught me daily that God knows and loves my clients (and me) far more than even I can imagine and the results are mind-blowing. Some clients report feeling Jesus’ presence and the touch of his hands; others tell about being held and embraced in love. There are accounts from others of diminished physical pain, tumors shrinking, surgeries postponed or not needed at all. Emotional growth and healing of relationships as well as spiritual changes are common place!"
