To me, the feeling is a lot like when you turn off a stove and you can't tell which burner was on, but when you put your hand close, you can kind of feel one is warmer than the other. But other people feel tingling, pushing or pulling. It's something that has to be experienced. Because Reiki works on an energetic level, Howe said he could treat any disease, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, broken bones, and cancer, among others. Howe has treated a dozen patients so far using the hands-on healing technique and about 75 to 100 people by speaking to over the phone.
People can get one or more treatments depending on their illness.
Something less serious like a headache can be treated in one day, Howe said. A patient also plays a role in the healing process as well as a Reiki practitioner. Really, I am not curing anybody. I am only facilitating and helping them heal by giving them the energy they need or clearing up blockages, making them relax.
