Broken Vertebra From a Car Accident

         My first experience helping a victim of a car accident resulting in a vertebral fracture was in 1987.  The man was partially crushed in his car from an auto accident. Someone had noticed a wallet on the ground outside of the car and realized it was the driver’s wallet which helped to quickly identify him and utilize his health insurance policy. The paramedics had to call the Jaws of Life to cut open the door. They cut the door out, extracted him from the car and took him to the emergency room. The doctors determined that if he survived, he would surely be paralyzed due to the vertebral fracture.  

          Miraculously, upon awakening the man had survived his injuries well and was not paralyzed.  They attached a ‘halo’ onto his head, a circular metal bar that is screwed into the skull which is connected by four poles and secured onto a body brace.  This contraption keeps the head from rotating and keeps his spine straight so the vertebra could heal properly.  He could not therefore drive or do much else.

          I visited him only once a week with my five month old daughter to give him Johrei I did my best to give him Johrei.  The doctors said that if the bones did not heal they would schedule surgery.  He really wanted to avoid surgery.  

          One day he told me that the doctors were going to schedule surgery.  I gave him Johrei, and it felt unusually strong. When I went to visit this man again, he was out of his halo/brace.  He said that after my last visit the screws in his head became infected and when they took an x-ray of his spine, the vertebra had healed enough to be able to remove the halo. He was overjoyed and felt the Johrei had healed his neck.  I was surprised and happy too.

Symptoms of ALS

Let me start by saying that I was never diagnosed with ALS. However, I did have certain neurological symptoms that matched up with ALS symptoms and they are now gone. 

It all began with my voice. I am a singer and a teacher, so my voice is an essential part of my life and my livelihood. In April 2013, I began to notice that my voice was not as strong. I assumed it must be seasonal allergies, or maybe some food I had become allergic to, so I went to the doctor and they drew some blood to check for allergens. According to their tests, I was not allergic to anything.

By September of 2013 it felt like someone had really put the dimmer switch on my voice. It made controlling my fourth grade class really difficult, and singing became a struggle. I made a spray of honey and lemon and was using that to get by, but one day my vocal chords began to spasm and I had to take a two-week leave of absence. I was completely devastated. 

          The doctors saw no permanent damage when they did a scope of my larynx, which was a relief. In spite of this, I would lay awake at night counting the seconds between spasms. I did nothing medically, but received many sessions of Johrei during my leave of absence.

After a week, the spasms stopped, to my great relief.

I returned to work, but not having a full voice made it more stressful. I was also a single mom with a two-year-old and a five-year-old who has a learning disability. I felt like I was in a constant state of overwhelm.

One night in April 2014, I was awakened by a very strong muscle twitch in my inner right thigh. I didn’t think anything of it and went back to sleep. Gradually, as the days wore on, however, I began getting twitches on the insides of both of my thighs. I knew I was not exercising or walking excessively, so why should my muscles be twitching? I also began to feel a strange buzzing feeling throughout my body and an undulation that felt very strange. Since I only really noticed it at night in bed, I ignored it.

I didn’t get really worried until one night in May, when I found myself lying in the dark with every imaginable muscle twitching, including in my face. I was terrified. I woke up, paced around, took a shower, and decided I better go see my general practitioner.

The doctor did a complete physical, and ran a battery of tests on my thyroid. All my blood work came back normal. After running a few more tests on my thyroid, which turned up nothing, he gave me a referral to a neurologist.

By the end of May, things got worse. I woke up one night feeling like something was not right and I realized that both of my hands were limp. I leapt out of bed and in my craziness, tried to do some push-ups, anything to get my hands feeling normal again. I couldn’t even pick up a pen!

Things only got worse after that. I had muscle weakness all over my body. I could barely lift my arms over my head. I tripped going up the curb several times, and had to tell my crying daughter to walk, because Mommy was not strong enough to carry her.

Then one night, I woke up with limp hands on a regular basis and then by mid-June I had a couple of nights when I woke up and could not move my arms and legs right. I felt the buzzing and twitching throughout the day. I knew I had to do something.

I decided that if I did indeed have ALS, which again was never confirmed by anyone, there was not much that medical science was going to be able to do for me, so, I would do a 30-day Johrei cleanse and see what happened.

During that month, I received Johrei at least three times a day. I also gave as much Johrei to others as I could. I tried to keep a two-to-one balance between giving and receiving.

30-days later, I was completely symptom free. It was such a miracle and an incredible relief to be symptom free. I could sleep through the night. I could carry my daughter when she wanted me to. I could go back to living my life normally again.

It is now February 2015, and the effects of the Johrei cleanse have continued to last.  Sometimes, I have an occasional twitch here and there, but I no longer require hours and hours of Johrei. One Johrei session a week, which is what I had always done, and all is right with the world.

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!
