What is my Faith....What is Reiki...... so much misunderstanding about it...Let's get clear

I was asked these questions today by our lawyer..in reference to her lawyer, if I would give my granddaughter Reiki, if she needed immediate medical attention...instead of immediate medical attention!!!
I was not only appalled, but surprised by such a question..from people who are ignorant
to someone and something that means so much to me...
my answer was ...absolutely NOT...
of course I would get her immediate medical attention, as I would do and have my own
children and family members..jeeeeeezzzzzzzz
Is Reiki a cult? NO
Is Reiki a Religion? NO
Is Reiki Witchcraft? NO
Reiki is a healing energy, that has been recognized by the Mayo Clinic, from the book
REIKI ..A Comprehensive Guide ..by Pamela Miles..
on page 169 ..chapter...Speaking to your doctor--be prepared
this whole chapter talks about Reiki in Hospitals in the United States who
not only believe in Reiki but have Reiki Masters on staff..such as
The Warren Grant Magnuson clinical Center of National Institutes of Health in Bethesda...
and
The Oncology Division of Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey...
Dr. Bert M. Petersen, Jr M.D. ..chief of breast surgery and co-division chief of breast
onocology here..trained in Reiki and holding the hands of his patients and offering
Reiki while anesthesia was being administered..and saw great results with less pain
medication after surgeries and less feelilngs of nausea, with his patients calling him
how quickly they are recovering.
Lewis Mehl-Madrona, M.D., Ph.D., found that in giving children with autisim Reiki
before IVs, they would cooperate and would barely notice the inserted IVs.
Pat Toney, RN., at St. Vincent's Comprehensive Cancer Care Center in New York City,
was known as the Reiki nurse, after giving Reiki to her paitents during bone marrow
biopsies..and how it calmed and relaxed them
Elena Klimenko, M.D. a physician and was taught Reiki as part of the Integrative Medicine
Fellowship Program at the Continuum Center for Health and Healing in New York City..
Dr. Klimenko used Reiki on one of her Bipolar/servere general anxiety disorder patients...
and notice a pronounced difference in this patient after Reiki sessions also...
there are more and more stories of Reiki by professional medical Drs. Nurses and Therapists
in this book and many others...
I also have worked with and am learning other healing modalities..such a Reflexology,
Message Therapy, Quantum Touch..all of which are use in hospitals and medical facilities
in the U.S. and around the world.

Do I believe in God? YES...God is always-everywhere-present
from my Unity upbringing..this is what Unity says of God and what I believe
God is Spirit, the loving source of all that is. God is the one power, all good, everywhere present, all wisdom. God is divine energy, continually creating, expressing and sustaining all creation. In God, we live and move and have our being. In Unity, some other ways we speak of God are Life, Light, Love, Substance, Principle, Law and Universal Mind.

Do I believe in ghosts and spirit? YES...and angels too,they are with us always.
Do I believe in Reincarnation? YES
Do I believe in Heaven? YES...but not a place where we play harps all day with Jesus
Do I believe in Hell? YES...but not a place where we shovel coal with the devil
I believe people are in heaven and hell right here on earth..and that it is a place of
existence for our souls and our in our human forms.
Am I a Christian? I am a follower and believer in the Christ spirit...the physical man
came to earth over 2000 years ago to teach peopele to love one another, a novel absent thing in those days...he told them to treat others as you would like to be treated...and that those who believe in him, will have everlasting life...a good everlasting life... even in the bible Jesus says..follow me and you can be as I am..with my father...God...and in doing this, it takes
many lifetimes of learning lessons in human experiences...as we cannot learn these lessons
in spiritual form...in one single lifetime in eternity...so we come to earth to learn them..and to learn with each lifetime, the lessons, the challenges..which of course helps us to appreciate the good stuff too..everything we go through, teaches us a new level for our soul's journey...to the end game of perfection/Heaven to be on a new higher frequency with God and the Universe..as it is in the bible and many faiths, you can do this also...you can be with God also...they weren't kidding, but no one said it was
an instant journey...it is a learned and earned journey, through Love and Kindness
through Patience through Understanding...through lifting yourself to best you can be
in each lifetime...through many life situations and experiences.

I told the lawyer I am a Non Denominational Ordained Minister with a Christian belief...
I was raised in the Southern and American Baptist churches and in the Unity church..not Unitarian.
I believe what a minister does with their Ordination to help mankind, in big or small ways
is what is important...whether it be in a church...a home...a workplace...the park...the beach/mountains...in a restaurant it does not matter....there are big well known Baptist Pastors, Catholic Priests that have committed sin with adulty, cheating, lying, stealing...and horrific child abuse etc...there are Ministers, Reverends, Rabbis, Priests, etc in any faith who have chosen to not do good for mankind or themselves...it is what a minister chooses to do with their Ordination and their life...that matters..whether it be big or small...it must be good. It does not matter if you have a 4 year or a 6 year education in Religious Science..in being the biggest church or if you have chosen to take smaller classes...in the things you need, for the work you will do with your Ordination...it does not matter...it is as I said...what one chooses to do with it...For me, I use my Ordination to help others with prayer work..so many have no idea how to pray..I help others
with releasing..forgiving of not only others but forgiving self...so one can move past
a life situation, what sits heavy on their hearts everyday. I conduct weddings, funerals,
and even though I have not done a baptism, I can do that also. I chose to get my Ordination, so do all of these things legally, as we do live in a real earth plane world. and I took it into my heart and use it as close to God and the Universe as I can...I listen to people in
complete and private counsel, some just need someone to talk to..to have someone listen to them...I do blessings for homes, jobs, material things...
and people of all ages. The world is my church...
and I do this on any day of the week...at any time needed.

Here is what I believe from my Unity upbringing

Here is what Reiki is about...
http://www.reiki.org/faq/WhatIsReiki.html

I said I was offended and I was appalled at their negative innuendos of my faith..
today and will have to testify to this very thing..as I am a caregiver to my granddaughter..
how dare they..the ones who cheat and lie..how dare they..but I will do this...
I will do what I need to do in court with truth and complete faith...
but I feel they need to be asking them questions like this as well...
and if they truly know the meaning of the work Christian.

Don't tell me you are a Christian..for whatever that means to you..
SHOW ME

We are all here on the earth plane, spiritual beings having and living in a human
experience. We are here to learn lessons for our soul advancement, in many
circumstances, many religions, many cultures, and many faiths...but we all are here
to learn lessons..and if we can learn them with love and grace..with patience and kindness.
and on the other end of the lesson..know we made a positive difference in our own lives and
those of people around us and our world...then we have done a good thing..
and good things will attract good things to us..as will the opposite, if that is our choice too.

Namaste
