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.

Asthma Attack

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.

ALLERGIES

Seasonal Allergies and Nerve Pain

     When I first started receiving Johrei, I had two physical problems, which impacted seriously on my work and my life. The first was a chronic allergy condition that erupted every July and lasted through November. It was totally debilitating. I sneezed constantly, my eyes itched continually, and there was a steady tickle in the back of my throat. I would come home from work and go to bed. I spent every weekend from mid-July to mid-November in bed. I remember watching Wimbledon and the U.S. Open form my bed for three years in a row.

           
     I also had a condition known as Morton’s Neuroman. This is a condition of damaged nerves in the ball of the foot, directly under the toes. I could no longer take the long walks in the park that I so loved, nor could I cross-country ski. It affected the type of work I was able to perform and I ended up having to be restricted to desk work.

           
     Within two months of receiving Johrei, my hay fever practically disappeared. Six months later my foot improved a good eighty percent! I still have occasional eisodes, but I can now walk home from my job in high heels (two miles) With very little pain.

Bump on Forehead

A Big Bump on the Forehead

Like many young children, my son likes to run around like a wild banshee around bedtime. When he was a little over a year old, we were having one such evening. I was watching him run in and out of his room and making sure that he didn’t hurt himself. There was a futon on the floor and he wobbled a bit as he toddled across it. He was still a bit unsteady on his feet.

I was sitting right in the middle of it all when suddenly he lunged forward and whacked his forehead against the sharp corner of the dresser. Immediately a dark purplish bump, the size of an egg started to form. As a first-time parent, I was petrified! I called out to my husband, who was angry, because he had to hang up the phone. He stormed in, took one look at our son’s forehead and started to panic. As he reprimanded me loudly for not watching our son, I decided to ignore him and start giving Johrei to my son’s forehead.

I was holding him. He was crying and I was scared, but I didn’t know what else to do. I just kept giving the bump Johrei and encouraging my husband to do the same. Reluctantly, he joined me and as time passed, we were amazed and comforted to see the bump slowly receding. It gradually went down in size until it was a longish, flat bruise.

I dozed beside my son that night on the futon so that I would be there in case he complained of a headache; a sign of cerebral bleeding. I gave him Johrei on and off and he slept through the night, without complaint. The next day, he went to the babysitter’s sporting an impressive shiner on his forehead.

Since then I’ve found out that there are so many blood vessels in the forehead and that when a child bumps themselves, it almost always results in a big, menacing goose egg. For me, however, it was one of the scariest nights of my life. I really don’t know what I would have done without Johrei.

Pregnancy

PREGNANCY

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.
