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.

Crohn's Disease is Healed

I'm a pilates instructor and a masseus. When I got Crohn's disease, it was devastating. I was in and out of the hospital, in pain, and, of course, unable to work. Each time it happened, I felt a little more helpless and a lot of despair. I was basically at the mercy of the disease.

One day, I was working on a client of mine who does Johrei. She never really talked about it much, but today she started sharing all the healing that has happened for her and her family members because of it.

She started channeling Johrei to me regularly and within a month, the Crohn's disease was gone! It was such a simple thing to sit in a chair and receive the healing light, and then be free of a debilitating disease.

My livelihood and quality of life have both been restored. I cannot tell you how grateful I am.

Gradually My Daughter's Brain Tumor Disappeared

In 2007, my youngest daughter, just 6 years old at the time, was diagnosed with a tumor in her brain, which doctors told us that we should not operate due to the terrible consequences that could result from such a delicate operation.

She began to lose her hair, had vision problems, and also began to have difficulties in her studies. Through these circumstances my life became meaningless. I wanted to give up everything. Until that time I was studying to become a doctor in America, but I stopped studying and lost the motivation to be involved in anything. Doctors even told us, “Your daughter might become a vegetative state eventually. Please spend as many happy hours as possible with her, and make many happy memories.” All I did was cry when I looked at her, imagining her future. It was a terrible time in my life.

           My mother had already become a Johrei member before the diagnosis. She had been giving Johrei to my daughter, but when we discovered the tumor, my mother began to give her Johrei more frequently, and our Johrei members of the Miami Johrei Center visited us at our home, and gave her Johrei at least 4 times every day.  Then, our daughter’s condition began to improve little by little. Her vision improved, new hair began to grow, and her color on her face improved.  Looking at her situation, I began to have interest in Johrei, began to appreciate the efforts of those members who visited us every day, and  I began to receive Johrei on a trial basis, and the darkness in my heart began to recede.

          The cancer specialist, a woman doctor, who confirmed tumor in our daughter’s brain, observed it grow bigger little by little, her condition worsening, then a few months later, observed her condition began to get better, and the tumor shrinking little by little.  She said, “Maybe your daughter is getting some special treatment.  I don’t know what it is, but obviously it is helping her, and she is getting better because of it.  Please continue with that treatment.  Do not stop that treatment.” 

          One year later, on April 13, 2008, my husband, our daughter and I became Johrei members. The next day, April 14, was the day of our daughter’s regular medical check-up day, so I took her to the hospital. The doctor examined her and discovered that the tumor was completely gone.  She (the doctor) was very surprised that the tumor which was medically inoperative, had disappeared completely.

          From that day forward, I have dedicated to helping others with this wonderful healing light.

Chronic Headaches Dissolved Over Time

Constant Headaches for Months on End

        I have always been fit. I exercise and try to eat right. When I hit my early 30's, I started getting these terrible headaches. They lasted for days and the pain was excruciating. My dad had been doing Johrei for years and years, but it never interested me. He offered me Johrei, but I didn't take him up on it right away. Finally one day I decided I had had enough and let him give me Johrei. Lo and behold, my headache went away.

     

But that wasn't the end of it. That summer I had a headache that lasted for two months straight. I got up with it and went to bed with it. People told me I looked pale and it was really debilitating. Sometimes I would just pull over on a side street and sit there hoping that the pain would subside. 

     

That's when my father suggested that we go together to the Johrei Center. We started going to the Center in Los Angeles on a regular basis. The people there were friendly and I felt they were sincere. Sometimes I would get more than one Johrei and I always felt better, though my headache that summer was very stubborn. 

     

Eventually, the headache started to get less painful until it finally went away altogether. Boy, what a relief that was. 

     

I still get occasional headaches, but nothing like that one. Now I know, that Johrei will take care of it. I decided to get involved in Johrei after my experience. I felt very grateful, and wanted to give back to others for the benefits I had received.

Addressing Chronic Pain

Pain from Fibromyalgia and Fibroid Tumors

    Johrei never ceases to amaze me! I raise my hand and I just know something good is going to happen for someone. Several weeks ago we had a lovely family over for dinner. They have a teenage daughter and a son who is about two years old.

     No sooner had they arrived when I noticed the father was wincing and holding onto his arm. I asked him what was going on and he explained he had radiating pain from his neck down his arm; mostly on the right, but sometimes going down the left and all the way down both legs. He had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. When he sat down beside me on the couch I automatically raised my hand and started to give him Johrei. About fifteen minutes later he said the pain was gone and he was amazed. I knew that his condition would require more than one Johrei, but it was nice to have the pain alleviated for the moment.

     Then his wife mentioned that she isn't able to sleep well at night because she has fibroid tumors that press down on her spine and cause her pain. Again, this kind of chronic condition requires repeated Johreis, but I offered to see what could be done. I channeled to her back for about ten minutes before they left that evening. The next day she texted me that she had slept through the night and had no pain at all. What an incredible feeling to be of service to others in this way. As I said, no matter how many times healing happens right before my eyes, it never ceases to amaze me.

Johrei Handles the Flu

FLU SEASON 2017

     I came home last week to find my husband looking like death warmed over. He was pale and stretched out on the sofa with a fever. He said his whole body ached and he could barely move. He doesn't usually ask me for Johrei, being somewhat of a skeptic, but this time he did. So, after attending to the kids' homework and dinner, I sat down to give him some Light. 

   

     My husband is pretty tough and his body seems to be pretty resilient. As I gave him Johrei, his body began to relax, the color slowly came back into his face, and he was able to open his eyes without squinting in pain. I think I was there with him for about an hour, then I had to attend to the children again, so I sent him to bed. 

     He works in construction, so he wakes up well before the rest of us. Apparently, he felt so much better that he was able to go to work, because his car was gone the next morning. When he got home that evening he said, he felt so much better, not quite 100%, but well enough to go to work and function. From there his body's immune system took over and the following day, he was back to normal.

     Last night, my six-year-old daughter, who had been looking a little pale and been cranky all day, came in to tell me her throat hurt. She had started coughing and said she just wanted to crawl into bed. I finished up my lesson plans for the week and helped her get into her pajamas and brush her teeth; which she hates. 

     My husband came in and seeing that she wasn't well, offered to give her Johrei. Both of us channeled to her for about an hour and the first thing that happened was that she stopped coughing, so she could rest. Her fever rose a bit and she fell asleep.  

I had her in bed with me all night; giving her Johrei off and on and checking her fever. She didn't start coughing again until about 6am. I sat up and gave her more Johrei. She no longer had a fever. 

     Today she's been her usual self, drawing and painting and squabbling with her brother. She has coughed a few times, but other than that you'd never know that she had been sick all night. Johrei is such a wonderful thing for our family!

Cast Taken Off One Week Early

Car Accident Recovery Hastened

     My right had was crushed and I broke two ribs in a car crash. Following the accident, I received Johrei only three times and I felt much better after each session. The doctor was surprised how rapidly the had healed. He was able to remove my cast one week early.

Eliminating Her Fibroid Tumors

Fibroid Tumors

     A friend of mine came to see me after many years. She came for the express purpose of receiving Johrei, or as we at the MOA Wellness Center call it, OPT, Okada Purifying Therapy. She is a long-time member, but has moved out of Los Angeles, and is not near anyone who could attend to her on a regular basis. She had developed these fibroid tumors that got so big and so bad, that they were interfering with her ability to urinate and evacuate her bowels. Apparently many of the women in her family have developed these tumors, and all of them have had surgery to remove them. My friend wanted to try to get rid of them with Johrei before considering the surgery.

     

     She came for a week, and I had planned to give her Johrei three times a day, but we were having so much fun talking and eating the Japanese food I was cooking that it ended up being only an hour or an hour and a half every day. On day three, she started having a diarrhea elimination. It was strong and forceful and caused her to go to the bathroom a lot, even during the night. 

     I'm happy to report that after that, she could go to the bathroom with no trouble at all. She went home happy.

Ovarian Cyst Dissolves

         "Some conditions take longer to dissolve than others," I was told my Johrei members. I was new to Johrei and had recently been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. I had decided to give Johrei a try for a month and if it didn't work to go ahead with the operation that I really did not want to have. 

        I was working six days a week at the time, but since this was something very serious, I decided that if I was going to do this, I was going to have to make a sacrifice. So, I started spending my one day off at the Johrei Center. At first it was easy. People were so pleasant and the Johrei felt so good. I gave and received all day long. Sometimes I was able to get as many as six Johreis in a day. When there was no one there to receive, I kept myself busy doing odd jobs around the Center. I used the practice to imagine that the external cleaning I was doing was a metaphor for the internal cleaning of my ovaries.

       After several weeks had passed and I hadn't seen any results I began to get despondent. As the weeks went by, it became increasingly more difficult to have a positive attitude. 

       

       One day, I came home after spending all day at the Center and plopped down on the couch. I sat there aimlessly flipping through the channels trying to distract myself from my thoughts. "Am I crazy?" "What was I thinking?" "I can't believe I thought this would work."

       Suddenly, I felt something inside of me explode. Terrified, I went running to the bathroom. I felt a lot of warm, sticky liquid pass from inside of me. It looked like yellow puss and I was completely disgusted. 

       After the episode was over, I decided I would make another appointment with my doctor and follow through with the operation. "Enough of this craziness!" I told myself.

       When I went for my appointment and they checked me out, to my surprise the doctor announced that there was no more cyst! I couldn't believe it and neither could he. It turns out that elimination I had was the cyst dissolving.

       I've never had a recurrence since then. I've been free and clear all these years thanks to Johrei.

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE/DEMENTIA

Easing Alzheimer's

     My husband and I have been together for a very long time. Our children have all grown up and we are alone together again, only now things are different, because Tommy has Alzheimer's. It's been eight years now and while I've been coping pretty well with it, I still go to a support group once a month. That's where I am able to hear other people's stories and count my blessings that I have Johrei in my life. 

     I was an in-home caregiver for years, and the reason I always had work was because I could handle the patients who were hard to manage. I was given the cases where the people would be up all night rummaging through drawers and refusing to change their clothes or their bedding. They were the belligerent ones that no one else wanted.I was able to calm them down with Johrei.

     Now I do the same with Tommy. If he is refusing care, I just sit myself down on the edge of his bed and give him Johrei. Half an hour later, he let's me change his clothes or his wet sheets without a fuss. He also sleeps right through the night because I give him Johrei every day, sometimes twice a day. 

     I count my lucky stars, because there are others in the support group who had to put their loved ones in a home after only six months. It's Johrei that's allowed him to stay home with me.

Post-dialysis Pain Relieved

Quick Relief

   
     We were having our usual Thursday evening Johrei gathering at the club house when, Adela, a woman in her late sixties came bursting in through the door crying and begging for help. She had just finished 5 hours of dialysis, which she receives three times a week, and she was in extreme pain all over her body. We sat her down and two of us immediately raised our hands and began channeling Johrei to her. She calmed down as the pain began to subside. Gradually, her desperate sobbing slowed and then stopped completely. Twenty minutes later, she was a completely different person. She was laughing and joking with all of us as if nothing had ever happened.

A Common Cold

My Cold Evaporated

       After so many years of giving and receiving Johrei, one would think that I would no longer be impressed by its effects; but that's no the case. I continue to be amazed that by the simple raising of a hand and the transmission of energy, the physical body heals. 

       Two weeks ago I had a cold. My nose was running and I kept sneezing. I blew it so many times that it became irritated and red. I had planned to volunteer at the MOA Healing Center in Culver City that day, but given my condition, I decided to become a recipient instead. 

           As I received the Johrei, which they call OPT, Okada Purifying Therapy, I gradually began to feel relief. My head felt lighter and I had more energy. During the second session, I literally felt my cold evaporate. My nasal passages dried up and I had no more need for a tissue, because my nose was no longer running. 

Anxiety & Depression

                                     My Anxiety and Depression Vanished

         I was the type of person who only believed in what I could see, touch, smell, and feel. Only things that were scientifically proven were valid in my world. When my boyfriend talked about Johrei and how healing it was, I laughed at him. 

         When I had my first panic attack, I was petrified. Suddenly, I didn't recognize myself. As the panic attacks got worse and more frequent, I found myself disassociating from my body. One day it happened at work. When I came to, I was about to give some medication to the wrong client! I immediately dropped what I was doing and ran to the bathroom crying. I stayed in there so long, that they called the night supervisor to intervene. She found me in a rattled and anxious state and suggested I go see a psychiatrist and get some medication to help me. 

        I didn't take her advice and things got worse. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, drive or function at all. I just laid in bed crying all the time. When I didn't go to work, my coworker got worried about me. One of them eventually came looking for me and convinced me to go see a doctor. I made an appointment the next day, got my diagnosis, and was put on Prozac. I took the pills for one month, but they left me feeling like a zombie. I couldn't stand it, so I went back to the doctor and told him I wasn't going to take anymore anti-depressants. He told me how wrong I was and that I would be back in no time to get a refill.

       I walked out of his office scared to death; wondering what in the world I was going to do. That's when I remembered the Johrei Center that my old boyfriend used to talk about. At that point I figured I had nothing to lose. I have no idea how, but somehow I got myself there. I met the Center Head and after we spent some time talking about my situation, he offered me Johrei. 

        I was skeptical, but desperate, so I agreed. He began on the front and the only thing I felt was my head getting heavier and heavier. Finally, it felt so heavy that it felt like I was never going to be able to get up again. When he asked me to turn around, I snapped out of it for a second, and turned around. That's when I realized that I felt better! I felt like myself again. All the anxiety and depression was gone. It was unbelievable! I didn't know what it was or how it worked, but believe me, from that day onward, I was sold. That was over 20 years ago. My depression never returned and since then I have been able to help many others with Johrei. I am so very grateful.

Angry at the World

          In my opinion, my childhood and family life were above average. Although I was privileged, I was angry.  I dreamed 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.

Thyroid

No More Thyroid Medicine Required

          I took medicine for my thyroid for over 15 years. I was put on it when I was a teenager and continued taking it on a daily basis. When I discovered Johrei, I was having all kinds of other problems. My shoulders were stiff and sore all the time, my kidneys were beginning to show warning signs according to my lab reports, and I was beginning to hunch over like an old woman!

          The Johrei people recommended I get a lot of Johrei on my kidneys, explaining that the kidneys were key to maintaining a pure and clean body as they are responsible for removing the uric toxins.

            I began getting Johrei regularly. I went as often as I could, even though I was working full-time. It was worth it to me to give it a try. Slowly but surely, I began to feel more relaxed. My shoulders would feel lighter after Johrei, I slept soundly and awoke refreshed in the morning.

            The next time I had lab work done, the doctor was pleased to tell me that my kidney function was looking more normal. He was also surprised, because my thyroid seemed to be improving. He reduced my dosage and that’s how it went, bit by bit, until I weaned myself off the medicine all together.

            

           Now I’m in my 70s and the only thing I have is a little bit of high blood pressure. Johrei is good for that too, so I continue to give and receive Johrei as often as I can. I’m active and full of energy and I have Johrei to thank for that.

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.

Kidney Stones

    

              Dialysis No More!

      This story was shared by Liz at a Johrei Service. I didn't have an opportunity to get more details from her, and soon after she moved to Europe. So, to the best of my ability, this is her amazing story.

     Liz had a condition where her body was producing too much calcium. As a result she was in the emergency room on a regular basis because she kept getting kidney stones which are extremely painful. Some say they are as bad, if not worse than child birth! After years of dealing with this condition, the doctors suggested dialysis as the only means of alleviating her problem. 

     Liz began kidney dialysis every other day. She said she had no quality of life, because either she was on the dialysis machine or recovering from the dialysis the next day. The doctors had even gone so far as to surgically implant a shunt on her chest, which one could see when she wore scoop necked shirts or dresses. 

     Somehow, Liz was introduced to Johrei. I began to see her regularly at the Center where she would receive at least one Johrei each time. She must have gotten Johrei on a regular basis for about 2-3 months, when one day, she got up and shared her healing story.

     She said that she had gone to her doctor in the past month and he said that he had no way to explain it but her blood test results no longer showed that she had a problem. He said he didn't know what she was doing, but whatever it was, she should keep it up.

     Encouraged, Liz decided to have another conversation with her doctor a few weeks later. She said that she wanted to try to go without the dialysis. The doctor strongly cautioned against it, feeling that it was too risky, but Liz insisted and so they decided to give it a try. She stopped the dialysis. 

     Days passed and then weeks. She went for regular blood tests, all of which could no longer detect her original problem. Finally, she declared herself cured and asked the doctor to remove her shunt, which he reluctantly did. 

     When she was sharing her story, she was soft-spoken and radiant. She expressed her gratitude before everyone, which was difficult for her, because she said she was a very private person, but her healing story was so amazing, she just had to share it with everyone.

Burns

While visiting Los Angeles, I accidentally exploded a gas oven, burning my left arm and right hand. My hair, eyebrows, and eye lashes were also singed by the blast. A friend of mine immediately took me to the Johrei Center where I received Johrei. The pain was severe, however, it felt as though the Johrei was pulling the burn out. I slept that night, and the burns began to disappear the next day. I was left with only minor blisters on my knuckles.

Christine: Boulder, Colorado

A friend of mine had a three-year-old daughter who was naturally very curious. One day she came up to the stove while her mother was cooking and pulled on the handle of a pot full of boiling water. The scalding hot water burned her entire left arm and chest. Her mother gave her Johrei right away. Her daughter cried and cried, but after some time the burning pain subsided and she was able to go to sleep. Both of her parents continued to give her Johrei throughout the night, taking turns in shifts. When their daughter awoke the next morning the burned areas were still red, but there were no blisters. The most amazing thing was that over time, the redness faded and she was left with now scars!

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.
