How Can Reiki Help Cancer Patients
Mornin’ all…
Life is full of opposites and none more so than mine… ha ha ha!
I travel the world each day in the course of what I do but never leave my house…
I talk for a living, all day long, but sit here in silence and never actually ‘say’ a word…
I have thousands of friends but never meet a soul… ha ha ha!
How true is that of all our lives? And it just goes to show that within one aspect of life is contained the other.
So if, at this juncture in your life, you are feeling one polar aspect of your life, don’t worry. It simply means the energy is ready to swing the other way, especially if your back feels as if it’s up against the wall in some way.
Using Reiki on yourself each day will help steady that swing from one extreme to the other too.
But never stop it in the middle!
Because life would be dull beyond words without drama and passion.
We are here because we chose to be here and we want to experience it all…
We love the drama, we love the crises, we love the CHALLENGE… ha ha ha!
I’m just a warrior at heart, can you tell 
OK, let’s get on to this week’s questions…
The question…
Hello.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer this past September and started chemo October 30th. Wondering if you have an insight on the best use of Reiki with cancer patients.
Is it better to try it on a good day or bad day, since my energy on bad days is really bad. 
How can Reiki help cancer patients?
Is there anything different about treating a cancer patient?
Thanks!

And my answer…
Hi J
Reiki is good for EVERYTHING
Yes, I did say everything… except a newly broken bone at the point of the break. This is simply because it promotes healing to occur too quickly before the bone is set. Just in case you were wondering
Should you give yourself Reiki on your bad chemo days?… only if you have the inclination and energy to do so.
It would be much nicer to have a friend or partner do it for you on such a day
Otherwise, I would suggest you give yourself as many Reiki ‘treat’ments as possible in between chemo sessions.
I would also suggest you do lots of research online about cancer therapies too, as I actually don’t believe in chemo treatments at all!!!
Still, we must each follow our own decisions as to what will promote the deep healing required with such an illness.
So, if you will bear with me whilst I ramble out loud for a moment… these are my opinions only
First you need to relax with a Reiki self ‘treat’ment to overcome the great FEAR that you are going to drop dead immediately!
The word cancer instills a dread in people, when in truth, you did not get ill with it overnight and usually you discover it in time to ‘change your mind’ and NOT DIE from it…
…just remember – “there is no spoon” (The Matrix)
Your body repairs and regenerates constantly, so constantly you can regenerate healthy cells.
I want you to think back to approximately 2 years ago…
Anything in the last 3 years actually, but 2 years is the best time to remember an emotional crisis.
Did you have any emotional crisis then???… a death in the family, divorce, birth, unwanted house move…
9 times out of 10 there is a preceding emotional crisis that occurred approximately 2 years previously – remember what that was, and you have your first clue as to WHY you created your cancer.
Cancer is a very self destructive disease.
Something is ‘eating’ away at you but it is very well hidden beneath a lot of years of suppressing this part of yourself.
And that is what it is… a part of you that has to fight to be acknowledged!
It has to literally takeover to be heard…
Now, breasts are to do with nurturing – in particular others, even to the detriment of yourself.
You see, when you breast feed a baby, the baby takes all its nourishment – whether you have enough for both of you or not.
Like a parasite, it will drain your body of all its goodness.
And fortunately, for baby at least, you are more than happy for this to occur, for the survival of the infant.
Because…
As a woman, it is your nature to nurture.
And when the children are grown you NEED to nurture something.
This applies even if you have no children or if you are a giving sort of a chap.
“How can Reiki help cancer patients?”
It makes you relaxed and more aware of yourself. More grounded and secure. More loved and less fearful.
“Is there anything different about treating a cancer patient?”
NO… because you never treat the ‘illness’ as such. You can call your ‘problem’ by any name you wish but it is simply a disharmony within you.
Your true nature or spirit desires one life and you are living a contrary life to that which is most rewarding and joyful for you.
Therefore you have internal friction, that’s the rub, that’s the bottom line…
If you want a joyful, happy, healthy life then you have to be steadfast and true to your own hearts desire
Using a very simple Reiki self ‘treat’ment everyday can help you to see and acknowledge what your hearts desire is and give you the confidence to follow your dreams.
Perhaps look at it like this…
Life has issued you with a death threat
To avoid the threat of death you have to LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULL.
To help you release the fear of death, pain, sickness, etc, plan your death now. Choose your coffin, the service, say all the things you would like to say to all those people who matter in your life.
Write your will Give away stuff now… lighten up and go Zen style.
Clear the clutter
Face your death and look it in the eye with love.
For contained within one experience is also the other. Already you see how beautiful and amazing and transient life is.
There is only this moment in time and right now you are here, still breathing and willing to give it another go…
So do… GO FOR IT with all your passion and live your dreams.
Phew, enough of my opinions! And still I have only scratched the surface…
Time for some wholesome English roast beef to stop me yacking (talking) on… ha ha ha!
Have a challenging, passionate, dramatic week everyone and really feel alive.
But don’t forget to laugh all the way through it all… ha ha ha!
