A Ray of Hope: How Reiki Helped My Father Heal During the Pandemic
The second wave of COVID-19 brought unprecedented fear and uncertainty into our lives. My father was deeply affected during this time. He developed a persistent fever, severe breathing issues, and his heart rate began dropping below 86. Doctor urgently recommended hospital admission and oxygen support to prevent the situation from worsening. But my father, a strong-willed man, was adamant about not being hospitalized.
Every night felt like walking on a razor’s edge, filled with fear of what the next moment might bring. In those harrowing days, I did everything I could to provide comfort. I gave him hot water to steam and breathe easier, but it wasn’t enough. That’s when I turned to Reiki, an art of healing I had recently begun practicing.
I started giving him Reiki healing sessions every day. My teacher encouraged me to persist, even though I was a novice at that time. For 15 days, I devoted myself to his healing, spending 4 to 5 hours daily channeling Reiki energy. Each session brought subtle yet significant shifts in his condition. His breathing improved, his heart rate stabilized, and a sense of calm began to envelop our home.
The struggle wasn’t easy. Each day tested our faith, but Reiki became our guiding light, offering hope when everything seemed bleak. I vividly remember the day we visited the doctor after his recovery. The doctor, astonished by his survival without oxygen support, asked how we managed it. Only my father and I knew the answer—Reiki.
Today, my father is not just a survivor but a believer. Inspired by his miraculous healing journey, he has learned Reiki himself and practices it daily. It has become an integral part of our lives, a tool for healing and resilience in all aspects.
This experience taught me that Reiki is not just an art of healing but a way to nurture life itself. In times of despair, it gave us hope, strength, and recovery. I feel blessed to have discovered Reiki and urge everyone to learn this beautiful practice. It might just be the lifesaving ray of light you need someday.
Reiki saved my father’s life and transformed ours forever. May it bring healing to many more lives.
