Crippling Sciatica

If you have ever had the misfortune of experiencing sciatica, it is beyond horrible. It makes it difficult to get around, not only walking, but driving. It can even make it impossible to sit down! The sciatica that I had gradually got worse day by day. The doctor told me that I could either get a cortisone shot, or lie flat on my back in bed until it went away. I knew the shot would only be a temporary solution and I didn’t have the luxury of taking off work, so bed rest was out of the question.

After weeks of suffering in excruciating pain, I was convinced that I would be crippled forever. I couldn’t take it any longer, so I called the Johrei Center. I told them that I was in desperate need of help, or I would end up in in a wheel chair. They told me to come on in.

          When I arrived, I was in so much pain, I literally had to crawl through the door. They got me to the couch and a visiting Johrei member from Miami started to give me Johrei. At some point I relaxed so completely that I fell asleep.When I awoke, I felt refreshed. She had given me an extra long Johrei and I was hopeful that it would make a difference. I still hobbled out to my car and was in pain while driving, but it was definitely an improvement.

           When I got home, I busied myself with cooking dinner, when suddenly I felt an urgent need to go to the bathroom. I ran to the toilet and what came out of me was beyond foul. It was black as tar and had a revolting smell.

It took about half an hour for all the toxins to be eliminated, but when I finally got up to leave the bathroom, I could walk again without any pain. It was nothing short of a miracle! I couldn’t believe it! I kept walking around, testing it out, even bending my knees to see if I would feel that terrible pain, but I didn’t.

That night, twenty years ago, was the last time I ever had sciatic pain again in my life.
