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.

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.

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.
