What is Reiki Healing?
Below is a brief history of that ancient modality and an explanation of how we use those techniques in healing today |

Mikao Usui was a monk who climbed Mt. Kurama in search of a truth. He is said to have fasted for twenty-one days and then had a vision that he used to develop the healing modality we now call Reiki. “Usui did for the ancient Japanese healing modality, a form of laying of hands, what Escoffier did for French Classic Cuisine,” says Dr. Foulkes during one of her seminars on Alchemy Healing. “He made it succinct and in that simplicity organized the information into a straight forward process that could be taught to others all over the world.”
Dr. Foulkes followed Usui’s journey; climbing the mountain in the summer of 2006 in 110 degree hot, humid heat despite he r life-long disease of asthma. “Reiki works,” Dr. Foulkes says proudly. “And I am the proof!” In 2002 her asthma had become disabling. She was encouraged by her guides in Spirit to take a course in Reiki. Attending classes presented by the Reiki Healing Connection in New Hampshire she eventually became a Reiki Master and Practitioner.
“I was on seventeen drugs a day; taking 40 mg. of prednisone and other steroids just to breathe. My peak flow meter was giving me readings of under 250 where my normal breathing or personal best was 600.” Within six months of using her newly acquired skills at Reiki, Dr. Foulkes had stopped all but three of her medications and has been steroid free; her symptoms of asthma mitigated completely since starting Reiki in early 2002.
“I could not have climbed that mountain in 2002 without that healing. Honoring Reiki I accomplished that personal feat in 2006 despite the adverse temperatures and humidity in just two and a half hours. I am grateful for the healing,” says Dr. Foulkes. “Anyone can learn this process of Spirit communication. It is all about Healing after all.” |
