Dear Lourdes,
I want to say a BIG thank you for your teachings. I am so fortunate to have found you and the John Harvey Gray Center for Reiki Healing. Through this center, I have taken all your courses and just recently graduated from your Reiki Master Program. I never realized what a true gift I was given until a recent tragedy occurred at my place of work. As many readers may have heard from the news, we had a major explosion occur at our New Hampshire Ball Bearing Plant located in Peterborough, NH. I was inside the building when the explosion occurred. On my way out of the building, I asked for help from above. It is amazing the response I received from this request.
As I was heading toward our meeting area in the parking lot, I ran into two of our most seriously injured employees. Two amazing things happened. One, I didn’t run from them but went to help them. Two, I asked if I could apply Reiki healing to these two and the first responders welcomed me in. I sat with the first victim applying Reiki healing energy to his injuries. I was able to keep him calm until the ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital.
I then went to the second victim. She was surrounded by our first responders who were trying to calm her down. I
could see their struggle. I walked up to her and asked if I could hold her hand. One of the first responder interrupted, “she does not wish to be touched.” I asked again, the woman looked up at me and said yes. I took her hands in mine, the Reiki energy started to flow, and immediately she calmed down. After the treatment was over, she did not want me to let go of her hands. The Reiki energy was strongly flowing through me. It coming also from my group of Reiki Master friends. At the time, I didn’t realize that my fellow Reiki Masters were also sending absent treatments, yet I could feel their presence. They were with me. It was like having 100 pairs of hands touching the injured. Even the first responders could the energy. One of them turned to me and said, ” Although I don’t know you, or know anything about Reiki, I can feel the flow of the Reiki energy … I am truly amazed by the sense of calmness Reiki has brought to this woman.”
I am so glad I was given the tools to help. Again, thank you Lourdes and the Reiki community. We are all truly amazing indeed.

What a fabulous testimony of the power of Reiki! I am so glad that you are okay, Donna, and that your Reiki training allowed you to not only handle yourself this well, but that in the midst of crisis, you made a major difference in the lives of those around you.
Pretty amazing ! I am only trained in Reiki I as of right now but I have experienced a lot of re-affirming and positive moments with the little training I have had and looking forward to Reiki II so that I can do remote Reiki on rescue animals. It is stories like yours that keep us moving forward with the training and of course the practice.
Thank you for telling such a great experience. Soon I will become
A Reiki Master too.
It was wonderful to hear such a positive story from a terrible tragedy. I am so honored to have you as a member of our Reiki family.
