It was April 18th, 2024 and I had just finished conducting a workshop at the Brahma Kumaris Raj Yoga Center when Danielle walked up to me saying she thinks her daughter could benefit from learning forgiveness.

Her daughter was traveling then so we decided to wait for a week. The next thing I knew that Danielle decided I must give her daughter reiki treatment. I agreed and we fixed up a time. The daughter called me up to confirm and I went to her place.

I gave her a session of hands on healing and realized that more than her flu virus, she needed healing for her emotions. It felt as if she’s holding on under pressure of a situation and feels restricted. Upon asking her of the same, she confirmed it to be true.

Though she loved the healing session I could only give her one more session of distant healing as she travels a lot. She is probably feeling a lot better now and I have not chased her again as I believe whoever needs the healing must ask for it on their own.

The lesson for me to take here was not to be attached to the results and respect Reiki enough to give space to people who do not give feedbacks.
