My father-in-law, Shortly, was admitted to
the hospital on August 21, 2003. When I arrived at his room on the 21st, he
was out for testing. I went to get something to eat, and I left my
business card (ReikiMaster/ Reikidrumbeat )on the hospital table. The odd thing about this is that
Shortly is
legally blind. He has about 10% vision left. He could not and did not
see the card at any time while he was in the hospital.
Shortly was discharged on Monday, August 25th
after tests galore. On Thursday, August 28, I received a phone
call. The caller was a nurse at the hospital (I'll
call her Peggy) who had found my card in the room Shortly had occupied
-- this was 3 days after his discharge!!!!!
Peggy took the card to another nurse, who,
as it happens, is a Reiki 1. The nurse to whom she took the card, (I'll
call her Sally) knew me, but she did not know I had studied Reiki or
become a Reiki Master. I did not know Sally had become a
Reiki 1
practitioner. Sally and I had not seen each other for over
three years -- since I had left my employment as a Certified Addictions
Counselor at the hospital. Sally spoke highly of me, and urged Peggy
to call me.
Peggy had seen her mother die of cancer,
and watched her being given Reiki treatments. Peggy's mother had taken
no pain meds until a week before her death, which mystified Peggy and
most of the hospital staff.
Peggy was having some emotional problems,
and, although she did not believe in Reiki, she felt that finding my
card was a powerful sign to take action. She scheduled a Reiki treatment with me for
her next day off. We talked before the treatment about her hesitation
to accept Reiki, as well as her disparaging the treatments her mother
was receiving.
Peggy was surprised and pleased to find that
she did "feel something" during the treatment. She has scheduled three
more treatments for the next three weeks.
How many "coincidences" are involved in me
leaving my card for a blind relative, Peggy finding the card three days
after his discharge, and then taking it to another nurse who knows me
personally -- well enough to recommend me, even though she did not know
I had become a Reiki master!!?
This is one more Reiki miracle for me, and I
wanted to share it with you,
