I have chosen to write about my own experience with Reiki during my 2 week stay helping the War victims in Sarajevo. These amazing couple of weeks showed me just what an impact a Reiki has on people who came to me with anything and everything that was having some sort of negative impact on their life.
It was all made possible by a charity called The Healing Hands Network. They have been sending out 4 therapists every 2 weeks from April to November every year since the war ended around Going to Sarajevo with the Healing Hands Network was a huge undertaking for me both personally and professionally.
As I sit here writing this, those 2 weeks were proof enough for me that Reiki really does work in the most wonderful and gentle way! All in all I gave Reiki to 70 war veterans. They all had various complaints ranging from PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder to emotional and physical ailments including amputees.
What struck me most was how upbeat they were, and how grateful for receiving Reiki. One of my first clients was a man who suffered terrible back pain from lying on concrete floors due to house arrest for months. Together with that he had PTSD. After all treatments the translator would ask the client how they were feeling.
He booked immediately for another Reiki treatment for the following week! Another example I want to share with you is really to show you guys the effects that can be felt while doing Reiki , not only by the client but also the practitioner. I had a lovely man who was an amputee who I had the privilege of giving Reiki to. It was while my hands were on the calf of his left leg, that I then lost all feeling in the calve and foot of my left leg.
