The Magic of Reiki with Valee More

Feel The Energy

It's not every day that we have the experience of being a truly powerful human being especially during the grind of our daily life. And I imagine, in most people's consciousness there is doubt that there lies deep within the ability to produce "magic". Yet, we all hold this ability - it lies dormant waiting to be awakened.

As such, we are all energy beings. Our heart beats due to electrical impulses, nerve impulses also contract our muscles. Our cells are composed of molecules which are formed of atoms. All atoms are composed of protons with a positive charge, neutrons, a neutral charge, and electrons with a negative charge.
Reiki is energy, the life force energy that flows through all things. Without it we would not be alive and when it flows freely we feel fully alive and magic can happen.

Research

In the early 1980's Dr. John Zimmerman using a SQUID magnetometer at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver was able to record the energy emitted from the hands of a therapeutic touch practitioner. The energy wasn't static but pulsated at different Hz's (cycles per second). These frequencies were found to be able to stimulate healing. And Stanford University in the 70's through experiments with mice were able to show that Reiki decreased the healing time of soft tissue injury by two thirds.

You Can Feel the Energy

Rapidly rub your hands together and bring them out facing each other about a metre apart. Gradually bring your hands together focusing your awareness into your hands and into the space between them. What do you notice..............? Heat? Tingling? Pressure, like a magnet? This is energy.

In my experience working with people and horses, Reiki is also able to stimulate the release of emotions. At some level, emotional trauma gets trapped in the cells and the Reiki, working at the cellular level, stimulates the cells to release stored emotions. With horses I have had several experiences of emotions going through me as they are being released during a treatment.

Here is an example of the results from emotional release :

"Thank you for helping me with Jessie my 11 year old TB mare. She has had a remarkable change of behaviour since you came out to treat her with Reiki.
As you know, Jessie was rescued from a neglected and abused background, causing her to have emotional, physical and trust issues, hence her frequent rearing, and unwillingness to work.

Your first Reiki session showed instant behaviour changes, which made a great impact on me to see such changes. Even days after the treatment I noticed more and more differences in Jessie's attitude and trust, she was remarkably calmer and easier to handle.

I realised that Reiki had transformed my horse and it was important for me to continue it with her, therefore I came to your Reiki class. It has helped to maintain her emotional and physical behaviour. She is a lot calmer and easier to work with.

Thank you for showing me a new way to understand and work with my horse."

Changes in behaviour can be typical after a Reiki treatment. When working with this energy we honour the wisdom that lies within both the recipient and oneself; and the inherent intelligence in both the Reiki and the healing (mechanisms) within. Reiki stimulates and boosts the healing process, and sometimes produces magic.
