Healing a Nerve in My Finger

A Nerve Begins to Heal

Last October, I was busy making lunch for my children. I am always on a mission to get my son, who is a "carbotarian," to eat better. That day I was determined to get him to eat rice and beans. 

The rice was ready to go, so I got a can of pinto beans and started to open it. The can opener was old and I had been thinking about getting a new one, I just hadn't gotten around to it yet. It always left a few spots unopened, so that I had to pry the lid off with a butter knife. 

That day, I was in a hurry, so I just grabbed at the lid and it slipped, cutting straight into my ring finger on my left hand. I held my hand up in the air and shouted for help. My son came running and saw the kitchen covered in blood. He stood there not knowing what to do.

"Go get Linda! I have to go to the emergency room, NOW!" with that he was off and running. I stood with my hand over the sink and started to give Johrei to the wound. By the time they both arrived, the bleeding had stopped and it didn't hurt much either, so I wrapped it in gauze and put a band-aid around it to keep it secure.

Fast forward to December. I went on a trip to Tucson where I had the good fortune of getting Johrei from Henry Ajiki. He is one of the founding members of Johrei in North America and he must have given well over a million Johreis in his long life. He is now in his early nineties. 

I'd been having some issues with my pancreas, so I hoped his Johrei would help me out. Unexpectedly, and it was a short Johrei of only about ten minutes, what I felt was three very sharp electric-type jolts shoot through the ring finger on my left hand. I was so surprised!

Ever since the kitchen accident, I hadn't been able to feel much on the upper and right side of that finger. I also hadn't been able to wear any rings, because the site of the cut was unusually sensitive. 

In the days since, the feeling has been coming back in that finger. It seems like I may have cut into a nerve and that short Johrei reconnected the wires, so to speak. 

Now the site of the cut feels normal, except for the scar that remains. I don't know if I will regain full feeling, but I will be able to wear rings on that finger again thanks to Johrei.

 A Short Bout of Constipation

Last night my eight-year-old daughter had constipation so badly she was sitting on the toilet crying. I had been out of town for a week, and while I was gone she didn’t eat very well. She had been up all night with a stomach ache the night before, but since I wasn’t home, she had had to suffer through it with the babysitter
.
Now that I was home, I told her it was going to be o.k. I haven’t had to deal with constipation much, so I thought I better double check which points are best for addressing it. Having done that, I brought her a glass of water and a straw and had her drink it down. Then I got to work on the kidneys and coccyx.


She was crying and saying how much she hated sitting there. “My stomach hurts! It won’t come out! It’s stuck in there.” Big tears of agony slid down her cheeks. I rubbed her back reassuringly and kept focusing the Johrei on her kidneys. 

Five minutes later, she suddenly straightened up and out it came! Her eyes immediately brightened and she gave me a big smile. All that pain and suffering was over, and she was back to her usual self.
