Raiki Rocks - Third-party & Self-Administered Raiki

If you have nerve pain, where would it be most logical to put your emphasis on healing? Yes. Your nervous system. The LAST place the medical profession focuses on. There isn't a profitable drug for THAT! Enter raiki.

If you have ever tried acupuncture & experienced how your body channels open up with it, raiki is the same. But there are no needles involved. I believe you have the strongest results from a person with really good strong energy, so bear in mind, when you try raiki, your results will depend on the person administering it. If you get no results, try someone else, don't just give up on it.

I found two ways of experiencing raiki: through a professional, and self-administered.

First of all, raiki makes sense for people with FMS. If you assume FMS is a degenerated nerve disease or disorder, it also makes sense that anything that improves or soothes your nerves will make you feel better.

My raiki specialist, who I will call L, is just fantastic. I first noticed when she gave me a facial and put her hands on my face. I was like whoa, what was that? It affected my brain immediately. Just shut off the obsessive thoughts (that people with chronic pain have) like a light switch. She said I did a little raiki. I had already heard good things about it, so I signed myself up for a real session.

I enjoyed it because there were no aggressive moves that hurt me (as some well-meaning massage therapists have done). There were no needles. But I felt all the blocked places, mainly my abdomen, open up. I cried a river and drank a lot of water afterward. I felt energy I hadn't noticed for years. I felt, for a brief period, normal.

I have since been a couple more times with similar, but not as dramatic results. However, each time I have noticed my nerves were supported. My pain went down considerably, and my mental state improved. I would recommend raiki for anyone with pain. Longterm results aside, it sure improves pain in the short-term.

So how did I figure out this also works on yourself? By accident. I was in NY in a hotel where I couldn't sleep because the people upstairs were stomping around all night. I was excessively stressed and upset, and of course my pain level went sky-high. My stomach tightened up in knots (my biggest problem contributing to my nerve pain, or result of...). Then I thought hmmm. What if I put my own hands on my stomach like L did? What if I put the soles of my feet together so the energy can flow around in a circle? So I did that. I created an energy circle, and - amazingly enough - my crazy energy started to calm, and I began to normalize. Of course it wasn't as helpful as having someone else do it, but I learned something new. You can manage your own energy flow. I am guessing this is why when you meditate you sit with your legs under you, with the soles of your feet touching the back of your knees, and put your hands on your legs. Sound familiar?

Circular energy...

Hey, don't knock it until you tried it. And you should, if you have chronic nerve pain. After all, your nerves are IN you, you own them, and you can manage what they do (unless, you have MS, in which case, it really sucks).

More to come on raiki, as I experience more...
