Today I helped a friend in pain.

Today I experienced one of those things my Reiki teacher and many others mention happening when doing Reiki on someone.It was very positive but it threw me at first.

My fiancée,Alyssa, and I have an American Pit Bull Terrier that is a champion show dog. We got him from a local breeder who we have become good friends with. As it turns out she has Fibromyalgia so she is in constant pain all of the time. In the past Alyssa happened to mention my interest in Reiki,the abilities I have had since I was a kid and her experiences with me when she was in pain,etc to our friend on the phone.
Today our friend was showing her dogs at the show which involves repeatedly running around a show ring to show the dogs to the judges of the show and it really takes its toll on her.Her back especially.

Alyssa brought up Reiki again and asked if maybe I could do something for our friend and I of course said I would do what I could. I got our friends permission  and stood behind her as she leaned forward slightly in her camping chair(it was an outdoor show on open land owned by another dog show participant.

I started to work on her back which is what she expressed the most interest in having worked on.I could tell she was possibly a little skeptical but curious.  I never touched her,keeping my hands a couple of inches away. Within about 30 seconds she let out a little gasp and asked things like “What’s that?”,”He’s not touching me? How is this possible?I can feel it,it’s really hot.”

After a couple of minutes I heard a sniffle and realized she started to weep and that threw me at first until I realized they were tears of relief and she was telling us how her back was feeling better already.She has not been pain free anywhere in longer than she can remember.Our friends who were sitting around us watching silently.

I sent her a message earlier on Facebook asking how she was and she said she still feels great and that the pain came back for a brief moment but went away quickly.I kicked my abilities into high gear hoping to give her enough to last the rest of today and tonight at least.Perhaps this is why it went away right after it came back?
