Hello all,
Just wanted to ask about treating a person who has Chrons with Reiki.
I've done Reiki level 1 and would really like to treat my sister who has had Chrons for 9 years.
I was wondering if there are any precautions to take and how long should I give her treatments for. I know that this is probabaly a very simple question but I really want to help her and if applicable get rid of her Chrons once and for all.
I know that she has to be careful what she eats and I've asked her if she wants to revieve Reiki for her Chrons and she said yes so she is willing to try it out
I am particularly concerned with her taking steroids amongst other Orthodox medicines-steroids are prescribed for Chrons paitients.
In case some of you are not aware of what Chrons is here are the details below:
Crohn's disease is one of the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). This type of IBD can produce inflammation and ulceration of any part of the gastro intestinal tract, but it most commonly affects the small intestine close to where it joins the large intestine or colon
Crohn's disease seems to be on the increase in the Western world, and particulary appears to be affecting an increasing number of children. At present about 50,000 people in the UK are affected by Crohn's disease.
Unfortunately, this disease is usually a life long illness, starting in young adults, who have to depend on a life of continual medication and sometimes repeated surgery.
The cause of Crohn's disease is not known, but recent research has shown that the measles virus might be implicated! Swedish research has suggested that measles infection close to delivery, either of the mother or the newborn baby, seems to be associated with the development of Crohn's disease in later life.
The classic symptoms of Crohn's are abdominal pain, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, weakness due to anaemia, weight loss and rectal bleeding. Anal abscesses and cracks in the anal skin are common, whilst some patients may develop symptoms totally unrelated to the intestines such as eye inflammation, arthritis of the spine or even eczema.
Thank you for reading this and I hope that you folks can give me some advice on this.
Love and light

Well, I don't know a whole lot about what causes Crohn's disease, but you can be sure that our increasingly yucky western diet probably doesn't help. It's an auto-immune illness, no?
Years ago, I knew a man who had Crohn's, and stress was a big trigger for him. He was a physician, so, stress was a big part of his job.
Reiki always works for a person's highest and best good, so it would not hurt your sister. Full body treatments would benefit her, but you might want to concentrate on and around the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras. The relaxation response one gets with a Reiki treatment would do wonders for someone with such a condition. As far as frequency, that you would have to play by ear. When a person who has not had a lot of energy work done to them, sometimes it's best to take it slow, so as not to stir up too much "energetic debris." Clearing that stuff away slowly is a lot more comfortable for your recipient. You will have to set your sister's treatment schedule based upon her reaction (if any).
It's a great thing you're doing. I know both you and your sister will benefit from this. ;D ;D ;D
Love, Joanie

I will try to give you a few leads to try help your sister I must tell you this is just my thinking .first Reiki .it can help the power of touch and care can be very powerful you can get free attunements on this site get your self up to master level .now I will tell you what you most likely know. Mild cases respond to rest, bland diet, and drug treatment ulceration is believed to be caused by the immune system can be attributed to a fault in the gene Nod2, which partly controls the way the immune system responds to gut microbes. Stress may also be a factor. This statement on crones is from the text book .controlling flare up is done with corticosteroids .now you should look at probiotics for the gut microbes. Now to boast the immune system download from this site EFT manual and taping points you will find it under Sidney downloads. You will find across your sisters chest plate on the bone a taping point for the immune system it’s the same as acupuncture and is the point to apply Reiki it is advanced Reiki however you can learn this you tap to vibrate the granular witch controls your immune response witch hangs just below the chest plate also were you would lay crystals to get a vibration going also worth looking at .Next dealing with stress a good head set and music is good .you might try aromatherapy I would recommend burning some cones called frankincense try to get the India one .when having a bath try some lavender oil and she should learn meditation its important to relax mind and body. You might also look at massage. Now to food also in the downloads you will find some info on alkaline food do read this well worth learning as you can see you can do a lot however your sister has to help her self and do some learning .I do hope some of this might help your sister love Sidney.

Thank you Joanie and Sydney,
I do hope that I can help her in some way as she's been taking those awful drugs for her Chrons (imagine all those awful chemicals in your body) but I guess they help but still taking the side-effects!
Thank for your suggestion Sydney and I will see if she is open to EFT (she can be pretty sceprical at times!) but I reckon that she is willing to try out new things. Yes you are right in the end it is up to her and there is only so much more I can do.
Her Chrons flares up especially when she is under stress and I have given her Lavender and Ylang Ylang essential oils (I've got an interest in aromatherapy) and she seems to be alright.
Well thank you for your replies.
Take care and love and light

You are on the right track with the help and love you are giving your sister. Knowledge is power, so do some homework on it and with the intent (reiki) & some different approaches she'll find some comfort with this. love ruth
