In Japan, in the early 1920s, Mikao Usui developed Reiki-ho (Reiki method) as “the way to make mind and body healthy on the basis of Universal Reiki”.* Reiki is the vibration of love and harmony of universal energy. Reiki-ho is not only a wonderful “healing technique”, but also “an effective way to raise spirituality and to create a positive life”. Reiki brings all within and around the body into balance, surrounding with harmony, and thus healing the mind, body, and spirit. I have had students say to me, “Reiki is making such a positive difference in my life”.

Reiki can be described as multidimensional. It goes to the core of the imbalance in mind, body, or spirit, the nucleus of the cell, and then moves imperceptibly outward through the tissue balancing and thus healing. We have heard of the invisible diseases, I introduce you to one of the invisible healers. Those of you familiar with herbs know of Dr. John R. Christopher saying, “Lobelia inflata knows where to go in the organism and what to do when it gets there.” Usui Reiki Ryoho knows exactly where to go within the mind, body, and spirit and what to do when it gets there, even if symptoms have not yet surfaced to show that an imbalance exists. We often notice prescription medicine working in our body because it tends to act primarily through out nervous systems making a strong impression on at least one of the five primary senses. Reiki sometimes acts in such subtle ways as equalizing disturbances in the harmonic vibrations and homeostasis of our life force or as with one who is pregnant, the life force within.

The Reiki (ray - key) practitioner’s body is the instrument through which universal energy flows drawn by the magnet of any imbalance in the mind, body, or spirit of the person, animal, or plant receiving. Neither Reiki practitioners nor teachers can direct the flow of Reiki. I say this is because Reiki is a universal energy and the universe allows free will. A Reiki practitioner does not manipulate muscles or tissues, and the client remains clothed. The Reiki practitioner’s hands can be placed on the body or can be held a few inches away, and the energy will flow either way. Because a wave of relaxation accompanies the right amount of energy flowing into the cells in need, clients usually lie on a Reiki table during a Reiki treatment session. In the words of one of my clients, “this is the most wonderfully relaxed I have ever been, but I also have so much energy”. People with chronic pain have told me they are pain free for two and three days following a session. A session is also a way of releasing that built up emotional encumbrances within you.

Quick, what was the most deadly year in the 20th century? No, it
wasn’t 1943 or 1944 or 1917, or any other year with a major
conflict. It wasn’t caused by bombs or bullets either. The most
deadly year in the 20th century was the period from September
1918 to September 1919. In that time frame, almost 40 million
people died from the Spanish flu pandemic that swept the world.

The devastation it caused was profound. In many communities,
most businesses were closed, public gatherings restricted and
the health care system decimated due to illness and overload.
People wore gauze masks in public in a vain attempt to avoid
falling victim to the invisible killer. The death caused by this
pathogen, an H1 strain of Influenza, was especially gruesome. It
was nicknamed “the purple death” in some locales, in reference
to the bluish-purple pallor taken on by victims, perishing from
lack of oxygen as their lungs filled with blood and other bodily
fluids.

In fact, the flu was responsible for more deaths in the 20th
century than all the wars combined. This, in a century when wars
had elevated killing to a fine art by applying the best new
technology man could devise. Influenza, commonly called “the
flu”, tends to be minimized as a minor illness by most.
Actually, the flu kills an average of 36,000 people each year in
the United States alone. Some years see a rather dramatic
increase. In the 1998-1999 flu season (December - March), 64,684
U.S. deaths were attributed to the flu, according to the Center
for Disease Control.

Traditional Influenza is most lethal to older victims or those
with a previous illness. In those patients older than 85, the
flu is an astounding 16 times as deadly as it is to those in
younger age groups. A traditional flu prevention strategy, and
one recommended by most health officials, is annual vaccination
for those in high risk groups.

Flu vaccines are created by a sophisticated guessing method.
Health care officials examine world wide trends to try and
determine what strains of the flu will cause the most damage the
following flu season. They then target the flu vaccine toward
those strains. They have a fairly remarkable record for accuracy
in this regard.

There are two types of flu vaccine, active and inactive. The
active variety actually contains live Influenza virus and is
typically administered as a nasal spray. The trade name for this
vaccine is FluMist. However, most vaccines are of the inactive
variety, and are administered as intramuscular injections into
the quadriceps muscle of the upper leg or the deltoid muscle in
the shoulder. The standard vaccines for those over 18 years of
age are: Fluarix from Glaxo Smith Klein Inc., Fluvirin from
Chiron Corp., and Fluzone by Sanofi Pastuer Inc.

According to many health officials throughout the world, there
is a very high probability that the flu we really have to be
concerned about is the H5N1 strain of avian Influenza that was
first reported in Hong Kong in 1997. Known as the Bird Flu, it has been
detected in birds throughout the world. To stop the spread of
this flu strain, over 100 million birds have been ordered
destroyed by health authorities in the last year in South East
Asia alone! It is now being detected in birds in Europe as well.

Apart from the economic concerns caused by the impact to the
poultry industry, why be concerned about a flu strain that kills
birds? Well, this strain of Influenza also kills people. In
fact, it is especially deadly. Of the 125 cases of this disease
reported to the World Health Organization through 09 November,
2005, 64 have been fatal. This correlates to a staggering 52%
mortality rate. As a comparison, the deadly Spanish flu pandemic
of 1918 had a death rate of less than 10% of those afflicted. In
its current form the virus cannot even be spread by human to
human contact.

Scientists are concerned, however, the H5N1 strain could mutate
into a slightly different form that would allow human to human
transmission. Such a mutation would trigger a pandemic.
According to the WHO, a pandemic is created when a disease new
to the population emerges and infects humans, causing serious
illness and/or death. It also must spread easily and sustainably
through human to human contact.

If such a pandemic were to occur, as a majority of scientists
and health authorities fear, it would cause incalculable
devastation. Some estimates place the world wide death toll from
such a pandemic at over 100 million people, although estimates
vary wildly. It is hoped 100 million is a worst case scenario.
The key is to prepare for as many eventualities as possible.

The pandemic is most likely not a question of if, but when. Be
ready for it. It would be far better to over prepare than under
prepare. See Fighting the
