I offered to send my friend distance Reiki four days before, the day of , and four days after her surgery, which was to take place on the mainland. The following is her description of the experience of receiving the Reiki energy. -Liza
"When I woke up in the recovery room, I felt the presence of hundreds of hands all over my body. They seemed to be the hands of angels. I felt very safe and protected and had no pain. As I opened my eyes, the nurse came over and asked 'What is your pain level?'. My first thought was that the surgery hadn't happened after all, that somehow they discovered I wasn't a candidate. Then I felt incredible relief because waking up in pain had been my greatest fear.
When I told the nurse I had no pain, she gave me morphine anyway. I slept due to the morphine, and when I woke up, the nurse came around again, inquiring about my pain level. Again, she did not believe me that I had no pain, nor did my partner, who kept telling me to hit the button on the morphine machine!
Finally, at 5:00 p.m., the nurse admitted I looked fabulous, and asked if I wanted to get up. 'Sure!' I replied. I got up with no problem, while my boyfriend had a small fit. The nurse suggested I walk to the door of my room. I walked all the way down the hall, despite the protests of those around me, and wanted to go again, but they refused.
The days that followed were relatively pain-free as well, and I was out of the hospital on the morning of the third day, a whole day early compared with most patients. I know the Reiki made a difference in my recovery, because I saw the other patients having the same surgery, and they all had a vastly more difficult time. Thank you for sending me Reiki to help my healing process!".
