Hello all,
I just have to share this one ... I just came back from giving reiki to a friend who is about to have a baby. Alas & unfortunately I did not get to stay for the whole labour & delivery, but we did use reiki to bring on labour.
Her due date was today and she was concerned that she'd go over & have to be induced. So we did one treatment on Monday with the intent of preparing her and the baby for labour, and one this morning, with the intent of starting labour. She had her first contraction less than a minute into the session!
It was an incredible feeling. I used the symbols, and in addition to invoking my reiki guides & the ascended masters, I also invoked a "midwife" guide, and she kind of took over. It was hands-off reiki, as I could feel my friend's energy body from about three feet away. I could tell from the feel of the energy what was happening and it just amazed me to no end, because this was something entirely new. I could feel the cervix opening, and I could at one point even feel the baby: the head, the shoulders, the back and the little bum, and incredible warmth and love flowing towards him.
When we got to the hospital my friend was having contractions 2 to 4 minutes apart and was 3 cm dilated - but she didn't feel any pain. Unfortunately I couldn't stay because after that the medical estabishment took over. I hope all is going well. I have been sending distance reiki, but it doesn't feel quite the same.
One day I would like to be there for the whole thing & see what reiki can do for the final stages of labour. If there is anyone out there who has done reiki through full labour & delivery, I'd love to hear about the experience!
All best (and happy holidays!)
Judith
