Hi All,

I was wondering, a friend of mine wants to treat a friend with Lupus. Since lupus is an autoimmune disease, and Reiki boosts the immune system, is there a danger in it? Are there any particular positions that would be useful?

Roxy,

- one thing to do is not directly bring energy to Thymus and Throat

- a good way to bring enegy into the body in the case of autoimmune disorders is thru Tanden

- hope this helps,

Thank you Firekeeper,

My knowledge of anatomy is a little sketchy. Where is the thymus located?

Roxy

Firekeeper,

Excuse my ignorance. But where is the "Tanden". My mother-in-law has Lupus too and there are times that I send her Reiki.

Thank you!

Roxy,

- it is located behind the sternum and extends upwards toward the base of the throat

- if one places the hand center-on the chest with the heel of the palm just below the notch of the throat one will be close enough to Thymus "for government work"

Otoharo!

Roxy, My master said with Lupus to give four hour treatments daily. She is also a medical doctor.

Have been treating a lupus client for some and as reiki is about bringing balance there is no harm caused , ubderstand concern , my clients symptoms are now lessened and can now work part time , something unattainable before reiki , remember lupus is an inbalance of the immune response .

I have a friend with Lupus. She is interested in getting an attunement at the same time I am, in April. Is it a good idea to do this with such a serious illness? Are there any contraindications for attunments? I have multipul allergies and a sluggish thyroid.
