Mike Smith is Darlene's husband and decided to give Reiki a try when he saw his wife bounding up the stairs of their home (she suffered with knee pain for years). Mike was dealing with some unpleasant foot pain that the doctors could not relieve with either therapy or medication.  Mike felt he had nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain from a session. This is his Reiki follow up story:

Tell us if you noticed any changes in your body following your energy session:

Yes, My feet were on fire upon arriving and when I left they were 100% better. They remained so for approximately 2 1/2 weeks. * see below

Did you notice any specific changes in your emotions:

Relaxed and at peace with myself and my surroundings.

Would you feel comfortable recommending energy healing to others?

Yes. I think it has some benefits thought I cannot say how or why.  I would like to know more about the history and culture/background of Reiki

Postscript:  We happily sent Mike a short history of Reiki and encouraged him to borrow books from the library or my personal collection.  

* Mike experienced one stressful weekend visiting family and his foot pain returned for a few days.  Darlene called to make a new appointment but she cancelled because happily Mike's foot pain disappeared again.  :)
