Touch starts biotherapy healing By RENEE FITESpecial Writer Reiki practitioners say they only provide the space for healing to occur. The actual healing is up to the person receiving the treatment.
“I’ve given myself two Reiki treatments, and both times I feel like I grew spiritually,” James said. “I did it for 30 days, and it made me more aware, more intuitive and more sensitive to the environment.” It wasn’t long after her training in bioenergy therapy that her husband, also a nurse, was diagnosed with diabetes. “We changed our diet drastically and his blood sugar dropped. He’d get cranky every two hours if he did not eat,” James said. “I did some treatment on him, and he’s had no more spells, stopped having hypoglycemic attacks and has had a normal AIC level since.” Virginia Butler buys James’ handmade soaps at the Farmers’ Market, where she also sells essential oils she blends. “I like her attitude toward people; she’s very open. And her teaching technique is very structured and organized,” Butler said. “I like the soaps very much. They aren’t made of the harmful chemicals and are more pure than grocery store soaps.” James admits the soaps are “magical” to her. “They start with a very caustic chemical, lye, and when you get through, a beneficial product and aroma infiltrates the room,” she said. Even if she couldn’t sell it, she’d make it, anyway. “I’ve seen so many people healed by it,” she said. “It’s mild and doesn’t leave any chemicals or dyes on your skin.” Butler had taken Reiki classes and wanted to get a re-attunement. “It reopens your psyche with a reconnection to the healing field. I have a sense of well-being, and real pain will go away,” Butler said. Healing is a spiritual process, she said. An exercise for feeling energy Butler used is forming a shape with the hands like holding a snowball. “I use it to focus energy over a place on my body that needs healing,” she said. Other alternative healing methods James uses regularly include reflexology and the “Emotional Freedom Technique.”
