Turning a Baby
I knew my co-worker’s wife was pregnant. I didn’t think much about it until one day, Tom told me that it was approaching the ninth month and the baby hadn’t turned yet. This meant that his wife, who wanted to have a home birth, was going to have to go in for a precarious procedure where they hand-turn the baby. Apparently, there was a risk of dislodging the placenta and putting the baby’s life in danger. I didn’t know his wife, but I decided to offer to give her Johrei if she was open to it. A few days later, Tom came to me and told me that his wife was willing to try Johrei. So, I gave him my phone number and told him to have her call me.

We arranged to meet at her house that weekend. She already had a toddler and it would be easier for her if she could remain at home. I gave her Johrei for about an hour. We were silent throughout the session, but in the last ten minutes I had her stand so I could give Johrei to a point underneath her body. It was the end of the session, and I assumed that the Johrei had already done what it was going to do. We were chatting, getting to know each other a bit, when suddenly she lurched forward. We were both taken by surprise. I asked her what had just happened and she said she wasn’t sure, but she thought maybe the baby had moved.

The next day was her appointment. She called me afterward to tell me that the baby’s head was almost exactly in place. It was only off by one or two centimeters, which no one was concerned about. She was thrilled and I was both excited for her and astonished at the results. This energy work never ceases to amaze me.

She had her baby girl at home with a midwife and a doula present. Both she and the baby were healthy and happy.

Adult Asthma

One summer, while working as a waiter at a large outdoor event, a waitress ran up to me in a panic. She said she was asthmatic and having an attack. Her inhaler was empty and she was having trouble breathing. We were nowhere near a drugstore and her breathing was becoming more and more labored. I told her that the only thing I had to offer was Johrei and she said, “I’ll try anything!”
            I grabbed two chairs, told her to sit and started giving her Johrei. In seconds, she began spitting up mucus. I continued to give her Johrei until her breathing became normal. The waitress thanked me and said that the moment I raised my hand she had felt a pressure pushing out all the phlegm from her lungs. She was fine for the rest of the day.

Trouble Waking Up for School

     I have three children. When the oldest was in second grade, the middle one was in kindergarten, and the youngest was only three-years-old. The oldest one had problems waking up for school and getting dressed. While my middle child, was able to rise and dress herself, the oldest was a zombie.  

     To motivate her, I bought her an alarm clock but she would not wake up. We tried to coax her with a reward if she could wake up on her own but it never happened. In my impatience I would get mad at her but of course that was futile. Those school mornings were so hectic; getting them dressed, feeding them breakfast, packing lunches and driving them to school before by 7:50.  I finally decided to focus the power of Johrei on this dilemma. I was determined to channel for as long as it took, perhaps two years at the most, and felt confident it would nip this in the bud. 

     I can’t recall how long I gave her Johrei, perhaps 20 – 40 minutes.  After the fourth night of Johrei, she awoke by herself in the morning. I thought it was a fluke and continued to give her Johrei. The fifth morning she woke up again.  I was amazed. I continued with the Johrei, and on the sixth morning she woke up by herself. I decided to make a list of a morning routine for her to follow starting with brushing her teeth and washing her face, brush her hair, getting dressed and making her bed.  Every morning she followed this routine diligently. It was nothing short of a miracle. We finally got to reward her too!

     I still continued to give her Johrei for awhile for safekeeping.The Johrei seemed to have made a permanent change within her, as if someone rewired her. Since then, she has never fallen back into her old waking patterns. I have never had to worry about her not waking up for an early event in her school or working life.

ACID REFLUX

No More Pills!
I met Debra at the Johrei Center in Washington, DC. She came hoping to get some relief for a severe case of acid reflux. She had to sleep sitting up; propped up on several large pillows, which meant her sleep was not very restful. She also had to have all her medication laid out by the sink, because in the morning she leapt out of bed and quickly swallowed the pills in order to prevent any symptoms from occurring.

She had been coming for several months and I noticed that her skin was looking healthier. She had a glow about her. However, when I asked her how she was doing, she frowned and said that the acid reflux was still a major problem. I offered her Johrei and as we sat down I decided to really focus on some key stomach points. It was a session of about forty-five minutes and I could feel that the energy was strong.

Later that week, to my surprise, she came bursting through the door. She was very excited, and in her hands was a wicker basket overflowing with bottles of medication. She said, “Here, you can have this. I don’t need it anymore!”  Her acid reflux had been cured and thankfully, it never returned again. Debra was extremely grateful. She felt she had been given a new lease on life. No more pills, no more pillows, and a blissful night’s sleep!

Tinnitus

A man of about forty, suffered from severe bilateral tinnitus, ringing in the ears, which reverberated in his head causing him mental and physical anguish, complete loss of appetite, inability to sleep or relax.  As well a seemingly unrelated and inexplicable condition of intense sensations which seemed to surround then exert pressure on his chest causing feelings of anxiety attacked his being.  After a series of lab tests it was determined that the doctors could not help him and the only relief was in prescription drugs.  He had to quit his job and delved into seeking alternative modalities, healers and various spiritual pursuits for relief.  He came upon Johrei and was referred to me. We set up Johrei appointments for twice a week and I also advised him to visit the Johrei Center. 

Tinnitus does not kill but affects the quality of life usually for the rest of their life.  It is usually incurable and patients remain on drugs permanently. After a month or two of receiving Johrei he went off the meds.  Slowly his appetite started improving, he was able to relax, sleep more soundly, the intensity of sound in his head started to diminish and the feelings of pressure around his chest abated.  He started to regain his weight and sanity.  After 6 months, more or less, all of his ailments disappeared and he was left with minimal tinnitus.  He took the membership class and he was again functional, stable and healthy.

Anger Transformed


Angry at the World
In my opinion, my childhood and family life were above average. Although I was privileged, I was angry.  I dreamt of escaping from everything.  I always thought it was the real world that I hated.  From the time I started pre-school as a child I was rebellious. I was defiant. I simply couldn’t be controlled. I always felt that there was something wrong with the system.

At nineteen, I left my small town and drove to the big city of Los Angeles.  I immediately hated the place. Then a friend introduced me to Johrei. As I received Johrei, my life improved.  I was happier; I felt peace like I had never known before.  My hatred and anger towards many things had faded away.  For example:  I had always had a strained relationship with my father.  Suddenly, he started calling me and talking to me without any conflict.  We’ve been good ever since. But it’s odd right?  I mean my behavior towards him hasn’t changed. I don’t want to jinx it so I don’t mention it to him.

I get Johrei whenever I can. I always feel good when I get home.  My mind is always clear and calm after Johrei and my quality of life improves. I also now have a sense of compassion towards so many people I wouldn’t have noticed before.
