D. was a male in his late fifties suffering from emphysema. Just before I met him, his condition was so bad that a common cold had caused him to be bedridden for 2 weeks & because he was so short of breath, there was talk of him going into a wheelchair.

When we discussed the possibility of D. having Reiki, he said he didn’t expect to be healed because of the severity of his illness, but he wanted a better quality of life than he had at that time.

We started a series of treatment, twice a week, to begin with and after a few weeks dropped back to once a week and then to once a fortnight.

During the early treatments, D. would cough whenever I started to Reiki his throat and chest. As the treatments progressed, this settled down and he felt better and had more energy. We also noticed that his breathing would calm whilst he was having a treatment and he could take deeper breaths.

The effects of the treatment would last for a good few days and often only ended when D. began to feel stressed about something.
