Reiki Experience: Remote and In-Person
In September 2022, on my birthday, I was contacted by Nihada from Adelaide. Her son had been admitted to the ICU with multiple organ failure and sepsis. She shared with me that the medical team had exhausted all conventional treatments, leaving her with the only option of praying for her son’s recovery.
Understanding the potential of Reiki practice to help guide the nervous system to move from from ‘fight or flight’ to ‘rest and digest,’ and knowing this practice has been used in intesive, care, oncology departments and surgical rooms, in the USA, I felt it was worth trying. I had no idea what was possible, but knew that one of two things could happen: he either departs peacefully or by some miracle he survives.
This was an extraordinary situation as I had never previously shared Reiki practice with a patient in the intensive care unit, and I was uncertain of its effectiveness on the nervous system for patients in a coma. However, I was wiling to give it a go, and remained informed about her son’s progress, ensuring that Reiki practice was integrated before, during, and after medical procedures.
With the support of 20 Reiki practitioners worldwide, the dedication of the extraordinary medical staff at the hospital, and Nihada’s relentless fight for her son’s life, he miraculously emerged from coma, just three days after an ICU specialist said the only thing left to do for him is pray. I was made aware of him coming out of coma when Nihada sent me a photo of her son awake. Today, he is alive with one of his doctors refering to him as a ‘miracle man.’ During his fight for life, Nihada’s son has experienced over 40 hours of Reiki. Below is a testimonial from Nihada.
“I am honoured to provide a testimonial for Larisa, whose services I sought during one of the most desperate times of my life. As a mother with a bleeding heart, I was in dire need of help when my son fell ill and was admitted to the intensive care unit with multi-organ failure and sepsis. At that point, I was told by the intensive care specialist that it would be a miracle if he survived. The miracle did indeed occur, and I credit the exceptional medical team at the hospital and Larisa, for my son’s recovery. It isn’t easy to articulate the various synchronicities that arose throughout his healing journey, but I am certain that Larisa played a vital role in his survival.
Larisa’s unwavering dedication, compassion, and expertise were evident at every hospital process stage. She worked tirelessly to ensure that my son received the best possible care and was always available to answer any questions or concerns. Moreover, she reached out to Reiki practitioners worldwide for help, which was incredibly generous and touching.
Larisa’s extensive knowledge of alternative and complementary therapies and willingness to provide support in conjunction with the medical team’s efforts without any interference, was crucial to my son’s recovery. I am forever grateful to her for her role in his recovery and her kind and compassionate nature throughout the experience. Larisa not only provided Reiki healing to my son, she also provided regular healing to me.
I highly recommend Larisa’s services to anyone needing healing or support. She is a miracle worker and an extraordinary human being, and I am fortunate to have had her as a part of my son’s and my own healing journeys.”
