2 Introduction
and yet something that exists within each and every one of us as the spark of our own divinity. What truly matters when it comes to illness is that the interplay of this primal energy combined with science-based practices has shown to produce incredible results. After my long years of working with surgeons, my practice has come to be known as Medical Reiki (M.R.). My job is to use my hands as the delivery system of the life force energy depleted by illness that a doctor’s patient requires for their complete healing. It is an honor to bring this primal spirit of love and compassion into medicine as an aid to medical patients as they receive the treatments administered by their doctors. The book you are reading right now is my personal call to action. It is presenting a new integrative protocol for patient care in modern medicine, and like Dr. Bernie Siegel before me had to defend his work described in Love, Medicine & Miracles, I too will be called upon to defend my words and work. However, in my case, it is made even more difficult because there is no MD at the end of my name; yet I am seriously committed to my cause. What I offer in my practice is not a cure; it is the gentle transference of the loving energy of the Universe through my hands into doctors’ patients—energy that brings them calm, hope, confidence, self-love, and many other positive physical reactions that will be explained more fully in the upcoming chapters. Medical Reiki is an energy that has shown to help those enduring illness in extraordinary ways when combined with conventional medicine. What we have found through joining the two is that illness can be a turning point of remarkable transformation, and transformation is what combining Reiki and science is really all about.
