My nephew (actually great nephew) is charming, handsome, loquacious, funny, intelligent, and very gracious. Grady recently visited me from Minnesota with his parents. When he was 8 y.o. he has hit by a truck while riding his bicycle. He was in a coma for over 6 weeks and even though he survived with incredible love and support from his family and medical teams, has extensive physical and functional limitations. He lost vision in one eye, had extensive brain injury, a hand is locked in a painful grip, and there are numerous other health challenges including seizures; he has also had over 20 operations thus far. Grady is a testimony that spirit can triumph over great crises and losses; he prays for others and tries to be an inspiration giving hope to others.
Grady asked me to do Reiki on him. If he was at home, I would probably want to work on him 3-5x/week for a minimum of 1-2 months. Since that was not possible and I didn’t want to trigger a healing crisis, I worked less time on his head. I of course started out each session with byosen scanning to get familiar with his system and to prepare him for deeper healing. I did focus additional time on the arm/hand that is most problematic. Since he has a short attention span, sessions were limited to 15 minutes or so. Although he needed to talk though out the sessions, it was clear that he was connecting with the Reiki energy.
Before leaving Tucson, Grady gave the following feedback regarding his Reiki sessions: ‘my body felt happy and I have never felt this relaxed before. It was like a spiritual enlightened journey and felt like I was in such a better place’. He added that his whole left side that once had been paralyzed felt ‘more cool, calm and comfortable’. Grady asked if he could contact me if he needed additional surgeries; I told him that I would gladly send him distant Reiki. I also told him that I was certain that many of my Reiki students, colleagues and friends would be glad to support him with Reiki as well! In advance, thank you all so very much!
