I often combine Reiki with Reflexology, particularly when the client is suffering from a specific, localised problem. The results may be very beneficial. I cut the reflexology treatment short by about 10 minutes, then give Reiki healing directly over the relevant area of the body. Clients are intrigued that they can feel different physical sensations although I am not actually touching them as I do most of my Reiki work in the aura.
I am often asked about 'healing' and find it useful to remember that 'healing' means to make whole and does not actually mean 'to cure'. I read this in John Cross' excellent book Healing with the Chakra Energy System. All his books can be found at http://www.johncrossclinics.com/
Remembering that healers are only the channel for the healing energy and do not do the healing themselves is very important, I believe. It is very hard not to feel excited and in part personally responsible when a client's situation dramatically improves and we all like definite validation of the theory, however strong our beliefs. But staying humble and still being amazed is important too.
I am currently using reflexology and Reiki with a client who is very ill. One of her many problems is a recurring uterine abscess. I saw her for the second time today and she told me that the abscess had broken the day after the first treatment and the pain was greatly relieved. Obviously this could have happened anyway, but we shall see if it recurs as usual or of there is a greater period of relief. http://www.ReflexologyStamford.co.uk/

I treated a client with acute sciatic pain with 8 weekly treatments of reflexology followed by two sessions of Reiki I (meant of course for self-healing!) skills only acquired two days before the ninth treatment. My reason for offering Reiki was an intuitive sense that this was required over and above the reflexology treatment.
When he arrived for reflexology treatment, he would chat for England, and his feet were damp and dark in colour. It was difficult to relax him during treatments.
I had not wished to 'do Reiki' until the point when I decided to take the first degree and my decision was based on having met someone at a health fair who offered the training, and to whom I felt drawn by her matter of fact approach.
My client was an ex-Naval serviceman who had served in the Falklands. He had suffered intermittent, but worsening, pain since that time, 24 years earlier. During the 8 initial treatments, his pain declined by up to 80%. The day before his ninth treatment, he suffered a complete relapse, and it was discovered that the relapse coincided with the anniversary of his ship being bombed during the Falklands War. He himself was unaware of the coincidence as there had not been the usual coverage in the national news - in some mysterious way, his body had remembered.
During the first Reiki treatment, he was able to finally release the pain, describing the sensation as "like a sword being drawn across from my right hip and out under the left rib". It was a painful experience physically and emotionally as it brought back the memory of seeing his shipmates wounded around him and being unable to help as he was so badly injured himself.
When he arrived for the second Reiki treatment a week later, his feet were dry, cool and a "normal" flesh colour. He said he was "fine". He had another experience of release, this time a pressure from front to back of the abdomen (he was hit by melamine shards from exploding worktops on the right side of the abdomen and across under the ribcage to the left side) and the sensation was experienced after I had left him and was sitting at my desk. We both used our hands to wave away the pain and then went on talking about other things!
I wanted to share this powerful experience with others and to ask if anyone else has had a similar affirmation of the remarkable power of Reiki. I have since taken the Reiki II attunement and use Reiki in all my treatments.
I am particularly interested in people's views about healing generally. Do they feel that healing is a 'natural' thing that anyone with the right intention can do? Is it necessary for a practitioner's confidence that s/he trains in some particular form of healing? Is it a conjunction of the right people coming together at the right time, or is there a much more esoteric significance - the intervention of an omni-present divine source of energy that is instantly available when we ask? Thanks!
Hi Rose
Thank you for sharing your amazing experince. I find such accounts absolutely fascinating. Regarding healing, I believe that anyone should be able to heal, but that because of our nature and insistence about putting labels on things, we function/focus better if we can identify with a type of healing or procedure.
Dr Eric Pearle in his book The Reconnection says that healing occurs when there is a connection between the client's energy, the healer's energy and the universal energy.
