These days no cold seems very common.

Contrarily, they seem extra uncommon in their intensity and discomfort. I remember when I was younger being able to push through and sort of ignore the cold – maybe dose up for a day or two on my favorite decongestant. But recently the colds seem more virulent, potent, and energy draining. Not only that, they hang around for weeks before they go away and your energy returns to normal. I don’t get them much, but when that mate of mine comes down with a bad one, if I don’t get out of the way quickly enough I am going to be challenged. Two weeks ago he caught a good one. This past week I began to get a very strong onset of symptoms.
Where does Reiki come into all this?

After going home from work early the day the cold hit and going to work for a partial day the next day. I had no symptoms, no cold, no cough, no congestion, and never used a medication or even a cough drop. The day I left work early I had a low grade fever, a sore throat and tightness in my chest, along with a headache. The slide was on despite all my precautions.
What did I do? Exactly what my Reiki Teacher taught me in Level One. I left her class with the words “do Reiki, do Reiki, do Reiki” ringing in my ears. And so as I drove home from work I put a hand on my aching head. Later I placed them upon my sore throat. I held them over my heart and bronchial tubes and covered my face and sinuses. I would fall off to sleep, wake and do Reiki again. I bought a synergistic oil blend called “Breathe” and “Immune System” to clear my sinuses as I breathed. I drank ginger tea and took vitamins C and D. And I did Reiki – in my sleep, upon waking and whenever I needed it. Wherever I hurt or had symptoms, I Reikied. I actually never felt worse than that first morning when I left work at noon, and two days later I was completely symptom free with full energy restored. Does Reiki work to bring about healing from the common, and uncommon, cold? You bet it does!
My Reiki teacher called being Reiki attuned “having a medicine chest in your hands”.
Whenever we are hurt our first impulse is to put our hands on the hurt. When someone suffers, we offer a hug. Touch is a major method of communicating healing, and one of the main ways we express our love and compassion. Reiki energy is pure loving energy. Love and healing are one and the same. And touch conveys both. For the practitioner, using Reiki to bring about and promote self-healing is integral to who we are as healers. “Physician, heal thyself” was one of my mother’s favorite phrases. It is the bedrock of truth for a holistic practitioner. We heal because we first heal ourselves. If you are Reiki Level One or above, use your Reiki everyday. If you would like to learn Reiki for your life, contact me for information on my next Reiki Level One Class,
Every day there is something in your life that needs your love and healing energy.
The insect bite, the tense moment with the boss or a loved one that leaves your chest constricted, the close call on the highway, the sad news on the evening news, the special event you are going to, you name it. What ever is in your day, you are there with it. Bring Reiki into the moments of your day and live better with it’s healing, supporting energy at work in your life.
i recently gotten over a cold and sore throat but i feel its back and i don’t know what to do . i just want it gone .?
Hi Katy – I am so sorry you are having this difficulty. There are many health challenges today, and post covid there seem to be very stubborn colds and viruses going around. We are all exhausted – collectively and individually, mentally and physically, from the battles we have been fighting the past few years. Immune systems are compromised and health is affected. Globally and nationally there is strife and discord. All of these outside factors are waiting to prey on our inner landscapes. I would offer that you be very gentle and kind to yourself. Give yourself the gift of time and rest. So often we want to get better right away. Open up to what messages of love or guidance may be trying to come to you because times of sickness often bring us to a stop so we can process something. You do not say if you are Reiki trained, if you are, use all the kind and wonderful healing resources available to you – from nutrition and rest to energy and love. I sense a strong need for love and comfort, know that you are loved. And feel free to reach out for a remote session if you like.
At Blue Cliff college in massage therapy school we were taught reiki I have photographic proof to back it up. My ex-wife was coming down with strep throat she had the white blister polyps and everything visible from her mouth she said her throat hurt she wanted me to take a picture of it so she could see so I did I told her that we were doing Reiki
in class. Without laying my hands on her body I imagined grabbing a hold of something A black tary rubbery substance that I had to fight and struggle with to pull it out of her throat. The very next morning when she woke up I seen her making coffee. I asked her how her throat felt she said it feels amazing take a picture of it so I can compare it to last night so I did hardly any pink no white pustules no closed off throat. I showed my teachers at school. They were very very impressed.
Thank you for sharing that Justin – I remember when first learning Reiki how spirit gave me several very vivid experiences that helped me understand how beautiful and powerful the healing properties of Reiki practice are. Now, they are part of the flow of daily practice, but I never cease to offer thanks for their blessings. Enjoy your new gift.
I had my Reiki 1 attunements back in March this year and as soon as the master finished with the attunements, I got a terrible sore throat which then turned into a horrid cold that lasted for 2 months – I just couldn’t get rid of it. I even had to have a chest x-ray as the coughing wouldn’t ease off.
Did you read my post on “Muddy Waters” ? Look to your 5th chakra, self-expression, and how you may need healing there. Sometimes – and many times – Reiki brings to the surface that which needs healing in our lives, because now we have the tool to heal ourselves with, body mind and spirit. They are all connected, they are all one. For an attunement to bring on a sore throat definitely indicates a healing process has begun. I hope you did the spiritual and emotional healing work your body was calling you to at the time!
