hi there all,
I am so pleased you agree that reiki should be used if the patient asks,I never tell anyone that it will 'do' anything, such as heal or extent their life, but I do tell them they will feel more at peace/relaxed, as I have found this to be so....
as I said here in OZ (western) we have the reiki rooms for the patients, which is so wonderful.....
my sister has lung cancer, & friends & relatives are welcome, & asked to 'sit' with them during their treatment, I don't 'ask' the nurse if it is OK to give my sister reiki though her left palm chakra, if my sister says 'yes' then I just do it, same with the med: bag!......
but the rooms are beautiful, nice comfy bed,warm or cool as the weather permits or the patient wishes it, & potted ferns & soft music & very clean....
I was in hospital myself visiting my sick mother & I was giving her some reiki through her hand, she was nearly asleep (free from pain for a while!)when the nurse came in & said "wakey wakey, you can't sleep while you have visitors"...I said I am giving her reiki, she could not apologize enough & nearly 'crept' out of the room!!
as I was leaving she asked me at what stage in Reiki I was, we talked about mum, & then she said " I wish it was my break, I could do with some reiki"...
So there's another 'line'...to offer it to over worked nurses, who also see so much trauma & pain..it sure would help them too, don't you agree? could be a way to get your 'foot' in the door by approaching the 'nurses union' eh! see what 'they' say!!
luv to you all, wendy xxx
