My Business, My Lesson
A WEBSITE IS BORN
by Anna Pizzoferrato
Reiki with Trust
When I first conceived the idea of offering distance healing via a
website, I became very excited. I knew that by using the World Wide Web, I
would be able to facilitate the healing of many more individuals and
situations than I could by local word-of-mouth. The path of creating the
website was fraught with “challenge.” At that time, no other site was
offering this service. The general public was unaware that Reiki energy
could be directed from a distance. One challenge was creating a proper
title for the site. I realized that people would need to “trust” that I
would indeed follow through and actually send them the Reiki energy for
the contracted number of days, hence the name “Reiki With Trust.”
LAYERS OF TRUST
During the year it took in the creation of the site, I came to realize
that the word “trust” had multiple layers of application to what I was
trying to create. The recipient of the distance Reiki energy also had to
“trust” the Reiki energy. This means that the recipient had to understand
that the Reiki energy I channeled would be sent to the “highest and best”.
As much as my ego wanted to have the Reiki remove a client’s source of
pain, I had to continuously remind myself that the recipient’s soul was
the healer, and neither I, nor the client’s conscious mind, would know
what their “highest and best” would be. Without this intention for the
“highest and best”, lessons that needed to be learned in this lifetime
might be avoided. By avoiding the lessons of one’s path, they are bound to
return with a vengeance.
SPIRIT KNOWS BEST
To help me combat my ego need to want to specify precisely what the Reiki
was to do, I recall an article I read a long time ago. It was about a
Reiki Master whose friend was suffering from cancer. The friend was about
to receive chemotherapy and was very concerned about the impending loss of
hair. Her request to the Reiki Master was to direct the energy to
preserving her hair. The Reiki Master knew the dangers of second guessing
the intentions of spirit. She sent the Reiki energy to the friend’s
“highest and best”. After her friend had received the chemotherapy, she
did lose her hair as expected. In her friend’s quest to purchase a wig, it
just so happened that the salesperson at the wig store knew of natural
cancer remedies. These remedies did lead to a healing. I cannot remember
the details of the healing, but I did learn the lesson of the story.
FEET AND DOUBT
Two years ago I had a painful bone spur and serious joint damage to my
left foot. The surgery that followed not only removed the bone spur, but
also removed a section of my big toe bone. I had faithfully sent Reiki to
the future events surrounding the surgery. The surgery went well. I had
minimal pain, and the healing was atypically fast. After my post-op visit,
the surgeon admitted that I had the “most excruciatingly painful” surgical
procedure he performs. I was tickled to realize the power of Reiki worked
for me as well. Two years later, I started to have significant pain under
the ball of my driving foot. I frequently gave my hurting foot Reiki
treatments. From my extensive experience of successfully channeling Reiki
energy to cancer patients and other seriously ill recipients, I knew that
a little bone problem should be a piece of cake to heal. My assumption was
that I had another bone spur. I directed Reiki to this foot problem just
about every day. There was no change! How could this be? I have witnessed
Reiki perform much greater healings! What followed was a plunge into
doubt. I doubted myself and gave little credence to the many healing I had
facilitated. I felt like a Reiki failure. I made the decision to have the
surgery during the summer. I am a teacher, thus the summer decision for
the surgery. I had far too few sick days to spend on this foot. My
retirement medical benefits are tied to the number of remaining sick days.
It would have been unwise to have the surgery performed during the school
year. A second problem would have been transportation to my school. Not
one other teacher was conveniently located near my home.
ANNA LISTENS
Then, it happened. I just snapped one day and was absolutely driven to
have the surgery the week prior to my February vacation. I had less than
two weeks to make a multitude of arrangements. I insisted on reserving the
surgery date prior to the actual appointment with my foot doctor. I was
happy to have found a teacher substitute who had a degree in Biology. I
began running off the reams of papers the substitute would need for the
students’ lessons. I found two colleagues who would go greatly out of
their way to pick me up and drive me to school. I was learning how to ask
for help. As I found myself in this fury of activity, I kept asking myself
“why?” It appeared that my decision was terribly illogical. Yet, I just
had to do it NOW.
REIKI’S WISDOM REVEALED
After many phone calls, the day for the meeting with the podiatrist
arrived. I felt as if I was going to my death. As I sat in the
over-crowded and uncomfortably hot waiting room for over two hours, I kept
wondering “why am I doing this?” The meeting with the doctor revealed all.
His attention went immediately to a mole I had under my foot. I have had
it my entire life. He insisted that it be removed as soon as possible. As
it turns out, moles in areas that take punishment are very prone to
becoming a melanoma. I would have never noticed a change in its
appearance. The actual bone pain was due to the loss of padding under a
tiny bone, in addition to inflamed ligaments. An injection was all that
was needed. I left the office delightfully relieved.
THE LESSON
I know that everything happens for a reason. I am glad I have learned to
trust powerful drives to do some normally illogical and seemingly stupid
actions. I was willing to take a huge risk. Now the lesson. If the Reiki
had healed my foot pain, I would have had no need to see the doctor. I
know, in the deepest recess of my being, that my lifetime conversation
piece, my mole, was about to turn into a life-altering nightmare. It is
clear that I should have trusted the Reiki. Even when it seemed that the
Reiki energy was not working, it certainly was, for the “highest and
best”.
