Soothing of the Mother

I walked into the room of a surgical patient who had no idea what Reiki was, but was definitely in the depths of a pain experience having had most of his stomach removed and parts of other organs as well to rectify multiple oozing ulcers.

I would say he was in his 20s. He mentioned having a girl friend, and working on an assembly line building fireplaces.  He had been doing quite well while he was on the pain pump which was delivering narcotics at regular intervals, but he had been on that for 3 days and needed to be weaned so he could return home.

I asked him how the ulcers began. He said he got a shooting pain driving home from work one day.  He endured 3 days of pain until he went into the emergency room and they sent him in for surgery to deal with the ulcer.  Acid was eating his organs.

I explained the treatment and told him to go to a place where he is happy.  For him it was fishing and the mention of fishing brought a smile to his face.  I began.  I could feel energy transfer, but there was nothing to observe except for the occasional twitch of his hand.  I could tell he was getting used to the energy being offered.  His breathing changed to a deeper breath into his chest.  I stayed at his hand for a bit.  It was rather stiff and the palm was faced down.  The energy was definitely moving both hands now.

I got to his knee on the left and a woman's face appeared with black bob curling up.  She seemed to be protecting her position but I recognized her as an intruder and told her to leave.  Archangel Michael assisted her back to her place away from the resting surgical patient.  Immediately I felt a wash of motherly energy surrounding him.  His body glowed with a ring of light.

I moved around to the other ankle and had a moment myself.  You can't help but feel the Love transferring into the patient and I realized that Love was also coming from me.  I was crouched low with one hand on his foot and one on his ankle and I saw covering my back dark gray wings.  I cried.  His body became fully lighted, not just the perimeter.  He continued to be in a sleep state with movement in his hands from time to time and the deep breath.

At the end I stood with hands facing him gathering any last energy that he wanted to discard and I could see myself as a tree pulling what was no longer needed down to the roots and out of his energy field.

I closed the session, removed my gloves and waited a few minutes to see if he would wake up.  He didn't so I returned to the nurses' station to write up his session for him. The last words to him were 'There is nothing to fear.'

Blessings to you Dear One.  <3 EE

All White

My first Reiki patient of the night was a man recovering from colon surgery.  He showed me his incision so I could see that he wasn't really bleeding any more, just a little bit.... wince.  He was very interested in getting his bowels in motion so he knew that he didn't have to have an addition surgery to repair what wasn't healing back together.

It was his first Reiki experience and I explained to him a little bit about the chakras - energy wheels of the body.  I mentioned that his surgery was in the chakra called the Solar Plexus which is the seat of personal power.  I asked him if he had a meditation practice because that would help him to relax and get the most of the session.  He said that he used to meditate quite often and was even able to get to a place of all white light, but that he hadn't done that in many months.  I told him that he didn't have to get to any place and that just following his breath would be exactly what would help him relax.

When I started his head was very warm.  Sometimes the thinking mind can create a lot of energetic heat.  He didn't release all of the heat, but he allowed some to pass out.  When I reached his stomach, across the room I saw Jesus was present.  He was not actively engaged in the session, but was there provide an energy of assistance.  I held my hand here for quite some time and the energy was strong there as well as the resistance to movement in the Solar Plexus.  I did sense some give and heard some gurgling.

I moved to the leg and feet.  At his feet I saw a lotus flower with a long stamen.  I saw a bouquet of flowers at his hip as well as I traveled down.  When I returned to his stomach on the other side, Jesus stood behind me and put his arm over mine to double the strength of the energy.  He also bowed down to give the man an embrace and said I said to him 'Don't you want to just hug them all?'  He nodded.  I felt a wash of connection with all that is. I couldn't help but tear up.

Jesus also talked to me about my role in this life.  He mentioned how I would continue the work of Mary Magdalene and I might not always understand the reaction I got from my partners.  He noted that this work would bring up lessons that were not meant for a novice.  

Our conversation ended and he left.  I placed my hand on the patient's shoulder and over his heart.  He had a faint green color around his heart, but cracks of deeper green started to emerge.  At one point, he coughed and his hands turned into fists and I thought for sure he was awake, but he wasn't.  I closed up the treatment and left the room to write up my notes.  He was sleeping soundly with a wee bit of snoring... ;)  <3 EE

Old Soul Of the Sea

Reiki patient number two - Woman from Wisconsin with a son who has 8 years in on the Air Force legal team.  Her husband and son both went to the same college I did.  We were bonded from the start!

She had never had Reiki before but had recently been in surgery on her colon and currently was not excited to have a bag attached to her.  She had no appetite and was frustrated that she had to chew every bite 20 times before she swallowed.  Peanut butter on a spoon was all she really could stomach.

She put on her sweater over her feet and we started.  She had a little heat energy to release right away, but almost immediately she started speaking in beautiful blue and white images.  The first image was a double helix spinning.  She was using the energy to strengthen and cleanse her DNA.  This was a spirit who knew what to do with energy being offered.  At her belly, a vision of the ocean with bright blue water and vibrantly colored starfish creatures swimming up.  There was a change in the scenery and a cave appeared with a furry animal in a cloak standing inside.  I waited for the animal to show its head, but it never did.  The light I had been envisioning coming from my hands then turned to big blue water droplets and my hands became a shower head and the image was washed away by the flow.

Movie scenes of ocean images floated by as I moved down her left side.  It seems she was just happy to be in this place again and was using the energy to feel the joy of being creative again.  At her feet the bust of Jesus appeared in a painted colorful underwater world and she placed a lei around his neck.  As I moved back up her left leg, she preferred the energy in natural forms, in waves of water, tree energy, or bird movement.

At her stomach a large black bird resembling a phoenix or even a dragon flew directly into my face.  I stood my ground and studied the bird noting it was trying to startle me, but I was more curious than afraid.  I told the bird to go and out the window he flew.  Then from her ear I saw on white wing emerge, then the face of a dragon and the other wing on the other side of the face.  This dragon recognized me and gently flew to greet me and to snuggle my face.

And with that I finished up the treatment and exited the room.  The joyful old soul was peacefully asleep. <3 EE

You're in Good Hands

It's been a while since I have made it into the hospital to see patients wanting a Reiki treatment.  Word is out with the nursing staff that the service is available so more orders come in which is exciting, but I have found that usually the patients know nothing about the treatment.  Thankfully they are willing and open to try if it means that they can have a moment or two of peace or they can find out something about themselves that was unknown prior.

This post is about the third patient I saw last night.  Her nurse was awesome and was SO excited that I had come to give this treatment to her patient.  She nearly jumped with excitement.  Nurses have such dear hearts!  The patient was on a oncology/hematology floor which means some form of blood cancer. She was sporting her Sinead O'Connor look well and had good energy levels.  She was planning on being in the hospital for about 10 more days.

She had never had a Reiki treatment before so I explained the format to her and I told her about some of the things I have noticed as people relax into the treatment.  I mentioned to her that she might want to explore what the energy feels like in her body, if it's flowing freely or if there are blockages, does it feel warm, does it feel light or prickly...

She started out well allowing some energy to release in the form of heat from her head and shoulders.  At her stomach I saw shapes like a honeycomb fused together start moving and re-positioning themselves into another formation.  They were a very vibrant blue and reminded me of building blocks.  Before and after the shape rearranging, swirling purple filled the abdomen.

At her feet, I saw a perpendicular web of golden string covering her body.  It took but seconds and her body had dissolved the strings.  At the right foot, a big beetle with whiskers that lit up came toward me slowly as if it was searching for something.  I asked it if it found anything.  It never responded, just jumped up and over the foot and down through the floor and to the earth.  I asked if there were any more beetles exploring and if they wanted to leave.  I gush of yellow liquid flew out over my left shoulder.  And then came the bubble making..... glowing bubbles produced at the bottom of the foot formed and slowly moved up the leg into darkness.  About four of those filled up with air and then the right foot position was done.

I moved up to her right knee and hand.  What I was shown was a perfect copy of her body as it was dressed right now in the palm of her own hand.  I got choked up.

Blessed Be.  EE

So Close to Heaven

Snow Angel

Yesterday I had my first infant patient - 43 days old on about 7 monitors and barely a square inch of her front side wasn't covered with some kind of patch with wires attached.  Her parents sat peacefully in her room and she had a nurse constantly in the room watching a big computer screen.... fully monitored.

When the nurse removed her fleece blanket to show me where I could touch without disturbing the systems in place, I saw a Y-shaped closed incision on her chest. Her mother told me she was waiting for a heart transplant... oh my heart!  I told them that I had never had an infant before so I wouldn't have to do the pre-session questions that gather pain, stress, anxiety level numbers.  The nurse offered that she thought her digestive track was a bit bubbly so maybe the energy could get that moving.  The nurse also mentioned that she had never had a patient who was given an energy treatment and she was very helpful and open.

This baby was surrounded by helpful loving hearts.  She is blessed.

I started my treatment at her head - hands above - not touching because I felt that my hands weren't warm enough yet.  They always warm up during the treatment as energy transfers.  Immediately I could feel her energy.  She accepted the incoming energy, but almost right away, I could also feel that I was grounded.  I think she was testing me to see if grounding was available.  I could feel her returning energy back to me.  I moved my hands to above her heart and could feel her energy surrounding her.  It was strong up to about 6 inches away from her body - more dense than I have ever felt in an adult patient.  I told her Mom that she was giving energy back to me and that her energy was very strong and showed her where I could feel this strong energy.  Her Mom smiled.

I moved down to her feet, one which was attached to some giant tube.  I held with my thumb and two next fingers onto the ball of both of her feet and closed my eyes.  Almost immediately, I could feel her dumping energy through me.... I felt it go through my left arm and down my left leg and out.  WOW!  She didn't need energy from this treatment, she needed to remove energy and she knew it immediately.

I was in awe.  This baby, who is 43 days from being in heaven, knew exactly how to work with divine energy.  She's so familiar with working with loving energy and open channels that she just used my open channel to purge.  I have found this to happen to adults that I treat, but it usually takes them the entire session before they realize this.

After I felt the energy released out my feet, the energy movement in my hands just stopped.  She was done.  Efficient little darling she is!  I put my hands on her head just to see if any more was needed, but nothing was moving through me anymore.

I ended the session with a namaste bow to the Little Love and explained to the parents and nurse what had happened with the energy dump and how intelligently she worked with the energy offered and my open channel.  I told them I was in awe of her abilities and mentioned that babies must be naturally able to work with energy since they haven't been conditioned by life on earth.

Oh the beauty of a new pure soul on earth.... they have lessons for us all.... playing with divine energy is child's play... :)  Become more child-like.... open and know that what is offered is all for your benefit... trust and use what comes your way with your intuitive knowledge... knowledge present at birth... yours for life.

Thank you Little Love... may your new tiny heart come to you quickly.  I hope to visit with you again. <3 EE

Suffering: Do you know it?

This session was actually in August, but I didn't write it up at the time.  Today is the day because I'm in a bit of a suffering mode.  This is where these sessions bless me.  What I am experiencing is suffering, but I also know I am fortunate.

This Reiki session was requested by the patient's mother.  The patient was a man in his 30s or 40s. His medical record would indicate: Cystic Fibrosis. Diabetes. Cancer survivor - tumor in the brain and right forearm.  He was in the hospital because he had an infection in his lungs which were functioning at 26% capacity.  He never was awake the whole time I was in his room so I talked mostly to his mother who was at his bedside and had been for all of his life.

She didn't complain.  She was so happy I could come and offer him some relief.

Before I started the treatment, I explained what I was going to do out loud to the patient.  He made some sounds to indicate that he heard me and that it was ok with him if I touched him.  

He coughed throughout the treatment.  He coughed on my hands as I had them on his chest.  His breathing was labored.  I tried to make my breaths loud enough so that he could feel a calming rhythm.  At his chest, I saw the brushes of a car wash... washing out his lungs...swish, swish, swish. 

At his left hand, a man's face appeared very close to mine and then rotated around to the back so that I could see the crown of thorns.  The head of Jesus in agony rotated around 3 or 4 times. Tears were flowing down onto my infection control gown.  I have had Jesus appear before during a session glowing in white robes, but this time he was suffering.

I told the suffering patient that he was brave. And loved. He's a warrior. I bowed to him in honor.

Who am I to offer relief to these people?  They are the heroes.  I am in awe.

Although I know that the patient received relief from the treatment, he wasn't able to explain this to me.  I do know that the images that I saw brought great comfort to his mother.  Knowing that her son was suffering as Jesus did gave more meaning to her care-taking. 'whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me' Matthew 25:40

<3 Lives of service.... so beautiful! EE

The Colorist Day 2

Magic, pure magic!   This morning’s was almost unreal.  Her spirit took me to the Underworld…. I’ve been there before a couple times alone, but not with a patient. 

We do that in shamanic practices.  I ride my stallion through brilliant stars and my fairy sits on my shoulder.  We entered under a tree and then we were traveling through light until we saw a lone volcano that opened up to be a blooming lily.  Out of the lava a crystal emerged and then we were at a wide river.  I got the feeling that her feet wanted her to be in and around rivers because yesterday she had a flowing river from her hip out her left foot and this was the same foot I was on. 

Then we came back from that world and  I went to her other side.  She was dressed in a fancy tango dress with a flower in her hair.  I wrote in her notes that I think her spirit wants to take tango or belly dance lessons… ;)  Actually I think her spirit wants her to embrace her feminine nature. 

Yesterday I saw a whole bunch of eyelashes opening and closing at her abdomen.  She told me this morning that she has been diagnosed with some rare form of cancer that floats around and attaches to organs without predictability.  First it had attached to her ovaries so she had all of her feminine organs removed a couple years ago.  Next it landed on her spleen… this time it was pancreas and bowel.  I told her the images I saw floating in her belly were not menacing.  They were actually friendly.  She asked me to ask them to leave, but when I put my hand on her belly today I didn’t see any of them.  I spoke to her belly and said that she’s working on seeing herself as a sacred feminine being.  I saw no trace of them.  They must be ok with that.  Their message was received.

We talked a little more personally this morning and she told me that her mother was bipolar and as a child her Mom would just check out and sleep and her Dad used to take her out on the tractor and let her play with him.  He was a farmer.   She said this behavior didn’t happen until she was 10 or 11.  Oh my heart!  Her Mom left her RIGHT when she was about to become a woman…. She kept telling me that her Dad was always there for her and he was her rock.  Her body was screaming out for her Mother though…. Ovarian cancer… the MOST feminine of organs besides the uterus.  

So… today at the point where she displayed her fine dancing dress to me I was pretty sure we were close to done with her session because that was an AWESOME way to end… J  I put my hand on her stomach one more time and asked for the image that was there now….. stars…. I saw tons of twinkling stars … a universe of beauty!  And of course… I cried…. I didn’t create that image.  Her spirit did, but I got to witness it.

I think her insides will be fine. J

I feel very blessed that people open up like that and show me these things.  What an honor!  What courage they have!  <3 EE
