In this episode of Simply Living Wellness, Donna Abreu interviews guest, Therese Martell- Bosshardt, about her training and experiences with reiki and reiki self healing. Therese is a Reiki Master and Life Coach.

If you are struggling with any health issues, physical pain, or emotional stress or trauma, we highly encourage you to listen to this episode and learn how you can use reiki to heal yourself. If you are being seen for any severe health condition, reiki can complement modern medicine and procedures, including surgery, by reducing the side effects.

Taking Control of Your Own Health

Growing up, Therese witnessed health issues personally and in her family. After many varying diagnosis and labeled conditions, her intuition told her that she has complete control of her own health. She began seeking alternative ways to address these conditions and prevent future ones, and thus began her health and wellness journey of self healing. She started receiving regular massages from a friend who decided to become a Reiki Master which prompted Therese to explore this path herself.

Why Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique to promote balance in the body through stress reduction and relaxation. Therese knew that only good things could come from learning a stress reduction technique and went on to become a Reiki Master herself.

When you reduce stress and relax the body, you begin to achieve balance which in return promotes healing. The body has a constant flow of energy, and when this energy flows freely, we are operating optimally. The energy can get stuck in places, and when this happens we experience “dis-ease”.

Fortunately, Reiki is slowly making its way into mainstream medicine, because people are taking control of their health, and asking for what they desire. For example, a friend of Therese’s, who had to have surgery, asked to speak with the anesthesiologist, because she didn’t want to use the gas method of anesthesia, and the doctor granted her wish. A physician she knows requested to have a reiki room in the emergency room where he works. Both medical doctors and patients are taking a stand.

Discover how reiki can provide you:

• Increased energy
• Ability to heal from a sinus infection or the flu
• Increased stamina
• Pain reduction
• More creativity
• An overall improvement in health

How Does Reiki Work?

Reiki is administrated by placing your hands over the body. Some practitioners will touch the body, with the patient’s permission, and yet some don’t. Some practitioners work remotely, and some do sessions in person with their clients. All of these methods are effective.

The practitioner acts as a medium. Life force energy, or chi, flows through the practitioner into the patient which increases the movement of energy in the patient’s meridian system as well as opens their chakras. This is an intelligent energy guided by a higher force.

Stagnant or “stuck” energy will begin flowing again. Often, the practitioner receives intuition on where to direct that flow of energy, to the areas where the flow of energy is compromised. The amount of flow that is delivered is exactly what is needed by the patient at that time, since as mentioned, this is guided by a higher force.

Reiki Is a Learned Skill Set

Anyone is capable of delivering reiki, but you must be trained to learn the delivery process. And with practice, practitioners are able to feel the flow of energy as well as move that energy throughout the patient’s body. It’s common for practitioners as well as patients to feel heat in the hands of the practitioner as they deliver reiki to the patient.

The more a practitioner works on patients, the more they will develop their own intuition and feel the flow of energy. Reiki helps us develop our intuition, whether we are delivering or receiving reiki. In fact, one the great benefits of becoming a reiki practitioner is that you receive reiki as you administer it.

Developing one’s intuition is a great gift. Some people feel things when they tap into their intuition, some see words, and some see colors. Some people even hear things. We all have intuitive abilities. As a race we “forgot” these abilities, mainly due to authorities in power wanting to restrict and forbid individuals from using these types of skills.  We may have forgotten, but all have this skill within us. We just need focus on it and practice, and it will become stronger. The stronger one’s intuition, the more one can help themselves and others in bringing awareness to their current situations.

Hear Therese talk about:

• A patient whose sinus infection cleared up after receiving reiki from a distance
• Giving reiki to plants and animals
• How reiki can be delivered to others or to yourself
• The many benefits of reiki including treating stomach aches, headaches, anxiety, colds, the flu, and tension
• A measured reduction in blood pressure, increase in antibody levels, and increase temperature from reiki
• Deep relaxation and rejuvenation from reiki
• Using reiki to reduce the affects of surgery and the discomfort from chemotherapy and radiation administered to cancer patients
• A young woman whose reiki treatments assisted her in getting pregnant

Reiki Doesn’t Replace Modern Medicine Rather Compliments It

If you are struggling with any health issues, physical pain, or emotional stress or trauma, you can use reiki to feel better or even heal yourself. If you are being seen for any severe health condition, reiki can complement modern medicine and procedures, including surgery, by reducing the side effects.

Therese tells her story of meeting some nurses at the telemetry unit of the Mayo clinic when visiting a friend who had a serious surgery. She wanted to deliver reiki to her friend, as her friend was in a lot of pain and hadn’t slept all night. After starting the reiki, her friend was asleep within five minutes and the nurses just shook their heads.

The nurses then told her of an incredible story of a woman whose son was at the hospital who was told he was dying. His mother had heard about reiki and decided to take a class so she could deliver reiki to her son. She worked on her son every day and he was out of the hospital within a week.

Therese shares her own healing story of having back pain from sciatica. She experienced the worst pain she had ever felt in her life. The doctors prescribed major pain medications and recommended an MRI  and surgery.

Therese passed on the traditional medicine treatments, and instead religiously did reiki on herself every night and had a friend deliver remote reiki every night as well. It took persistence, but it eventually completely cleared up after about two months.

Use Reiki to Help Heal Yourself and the World at Large

Reiki is slowly becoming more and more popular in our mainstream medical world. This news is exciting, since the reiki practice is ancient and dates back to 1914. One experiences the same benefits from reiki as seen from a regular mediation practice.

We’ve looked at ways that reiki can reduce the effects of major health issues as well as the side effects of surgeries and invasive treatments. Reiki can also assist you in self healing. Our bodies are designed to self heal. That is why when you cut yourself, the bleeding will eventually stop, and the cut will turn into a scab which will eventually heal. When your body is in balance, relaxed and your energy is flowing freely, then your body’s ability to self heal strengthens.

Aside from promoting self healing, sending reiki out to others individually or at large, can have a large impact energetically. We can also set intention that we are not bound by anything anymore. Therese goes into each coaching session with the intention that the client’s body is 100% healthy, that she works with a healthy body. She gives us the tools to have the power to take ownership of our own health. It’s all about energy, about receiving and sending energy, about energy flowing freely. The reiki principals alone when followed will change the peopel around that you come into contact on a daily basis.
