Giving Reiki to Children

Children are extremely sensitive to atmosphere and can frequently amaze you by their accurate reading of the energies that eddy around them. One would often find a child becoming restless and fearful when someone in the room is agitated or angry.

Children do not hesitate to call some one “bad” when they sense the negative energy in them. They react positively to those who love them and turn away from those who do not like children or are uneasy with them.

When they enter a Reiki clinic, they immediately sense the positive loving energy that is prevalent there and react favorably to it. They relax and are willing to explore with you this feeling of peacefulness that is generated.

However, children are the most difficult patients in a Reiki clinic. Their attention span is limited and they do not like the process of Reiki as it is passive. They feel that nothing exciting is happening and they are not being ‘zapped’ magically into becoming well. After a few minutes children become restless and refuse to lie passively while Reiki treatment is being given. If they insist on sitting up, the practitioner should allow them to do so and permit them to talk while you continue giving them treatment.

Giving Reiki treatment to a child has a very different feel from giving Reiki to an adult. The energy body of a healthy child is more attuned to the physical body and one can feel the energy going through the entire body in one sweep. Children who are ill or mentally retarded feel more comfortable if Reiki is given by their own parents. So often Reiki practitioners encourage parents to learn Reiki and administer it to their children themselves.

Case Study

R was a ten month old baby diagnosed with Kidney failure. Her left kidney was completely impaired while her right kidney was partially functional. There was a block in the Urethra and it was to be removed. The distressed parents were induced to approach a Reiki clinic for help during the pre and post operative periods by the Doctor treating the child. The date for the surgery was fixed for third week of the month and the child was being monitored for various parameters at the children’s hospital on a daily basis.

Meanwhile the Reiki master called together a group of Reiki practitioners and requested them to give group Reiki to the ailing child. It was agreed that some of them would visit the hospital to give Reiki treatment directly. One on One and Distance group Reiki sessions were started and arrangements were made for all the members of the group to call each other before the session was started.

Over a period of a week the child’s condition stabilized and the urine out put increased slightly. The baby was more cheerful and did not cry as much. The parents too were asked to be present at these sessions and they would sit with some of the members of the group (who visited the hospital) and pray to God. The Reiki practitioners who visited the hospital gave direct Reiki on the area to be operated on.

Closer to the date of operation, all the clinical tests were repeated and it was found that the right kidney had begun to function normally, while the left kidney had become partially functional. The Doctor now felt that if he could remove the block in the Urethra, the child would be normal again. The operation was duly done and the blocked portion of the Urethra was bypassed. Medication was prescribed for a few years with repeated checkups at regular intervals.

The group continued with the Reiki for almost two weeks after that. However, the wound of the surgery healed almost immediately without a scar and the child was on her feet in that time.

Meanwhile the parents received Reiki attunement and began to treat the child themselves. At the end of two months when they went for a checkup, the Doctor found that the function of both the kidneys had become normal and the child was healthy.

Today R is a little girl of twelve years. She is very bright and energetic and a champion swimmer. Though her parents worry about her when she falls ill, they are very sensible and do not let their worry show. They continue with Reiki for her and once in a while ask for group sessions. The Doctors have discontinued all medicines and have certified that she is a fit and healthy child.

R has been initiated into Reiki and is convinced that she is the one who ‘zaps’ into health her parents whenever they fall ill. It is easier to treat very young children and the older ones with hands on Reiki. For the middle group who resist the need to be still, it is better to give them Reiki when they are sleeping. Hand positions cannot be adhered to but Reiki will pass through blankets and clothes and reach the chakras on its own.

Reiki energy when given in a group is enhanced manifold. It is very helpful in preparing people for surgery and for recovering from it. However, Reiki should not be given during the duration of the operation as it could interfere with the anesthesia and cause complications.
