「大俠一江山」也是金光戲時代，「興閣派」中知名的戲碼主角之一。
他在戲中是一位血性的漢子，真正打不死也打不退的英雄，標準的「燒打雞仔」。與劇中的劉伯溫與六元老和尚相較，他沒有甚麼忍讓怕事這東西，處事蠻橫衝殺，積極處事，充滿武士道精神。
常常前面被打到噴飛出去，舞台後面又重新走出來。充滿了打死不退的武士道精神。
「大俠一江山」頭上的造型是三欉頭髮，也成了後來知名的江山頭，角色本來是紅色頭髮，代表他血性敢衝殺的角色性格，不過後來我還看過黃色與綠色頭髮造型的大俠一江山。
這顆頭是徐炎卿大師的活眼活嘴武生作品，因為眉毛是朱紅色的，後來我就乾脆請全哥做成了江山頭的造型，重現了那份舞台上的血性與霸氣。
「大俠百草翁」是金光戲時代，「興閣派」中最知名的戲碼主角。
特別是鄭武雄大師，以特殊的鄭武雄式風格，將其演鐸到淋漓盡致，「大俠百草翁鬼谷子一生傳」連演五十年，同一地點演出不重複，創下了很高的口碑與票房，演出場次超過一萬八千場，可見其受歡迎的程度。
「大俠百草翁」不僅身懷絕世武功，為人幽默詼諧，貪生怕死，亦正亦邪，狡黠胡鬧；相較於正派人士們，正氣凜然與高超的人格，「大俠百草翁」這個角色將人性的衝突充滿於自身，頭上的金光珠代表著他修練的功底，不僅金光護體不壞之身，雖然武功高超，卻擁有胡鬧怕事的個性。非常受到觀眾的歡迎。
這尊偶是沈春福大師的活眼活嘴作品，偶骨與粉底有很明顯的沈氏風格。搭配上「光興閣」宏憲兄家傳的百草翁老偶衣，雖然有些磨損與退色，但對我來說卻是舞台上最具有歷史風味的佳品。
民國四十到五十年代，以戲院為主的金光式劇場布袋戲，至此布袋戲的劇情、戲偶、燈光、布景、音效、跟傳統戲碼相較都有很大的改變。
而斯文怪客不足生，其實是知名的「興閣派」中的戲碼主角，與主角「大俠百草翁」老是少根筋不同，斯文怪客不足生遇到危機時見解超凡、冷靜沉著，頭上五頂金花更代表它超凡入聖的修為，絕技「一人五化」，更能夠瞬間分身擊敗對手。
後來也因為他的表現太過突出，使得大俠百草翁後來慢慢地變成了甘草的諧星角色。
這顆偶頭是徐柄垣大師的活眼活嘴作品，稟承了彰化徐家的特色，也是少見的金光戲電視偶精品。小生的臉孔與頭頂五朵金花的特殊造型，代表了他頂級的先天功夫，也暗喻了他運籌帷幄的內在智慧。
搭配上光興閣-林尤秀子 女士創作的偶衣。精彩的配色，重現了那段精彩的歲月風采。
靈氣協助諮商-治愈約會問題 Reiki Heals Dating Issues
我有一個名為 Cindy的心理諮商個案。她回報說她最近開始與人約會，但她感到被羞辱感淹沒。因為對於上一段婚姻期間的長期婚外情感到羞恥。
於是我活化了所有的符號，並開始將靈氣送回因婚外情導致恥辱感的最初原因。我在腦海中聽到我們已經獲得了清理並取得了以下的進展：害怕離婚，經歷父母離婚的痛苦，離婚的恥辱，害怕成為三個有特殊需要孩子的單身母親，害怕與家人分離，如果分居就孤身一人，對與工作狂結婚感到失望，對與情感上無法相處的丈夫結婚感到悲傷，害怕自己沒有吸引力，害怕再也找不到愛，害怕去傷害前夫和她的外遇伴侶的妻子，在她的婚姻中需要支持，並為外遇感到羞恥。因為她之前提到過因為被拿來與家裡受父母喜愛的的金童對比而不斷的被批評，感覺自己像家裡的害群之馬，所以我們接下來就做了處理。我們清除了她和她母親的批評，然後回顧了她家庭中的所有關係和家庭血統。
然後我聽到聖火能量想要為她提供恩典和寬恕。當她坐在沙發上時，我已經在合掌中用手完成了之前的工作。我走到她身邊，把手放在她頭部兩側約六英寸的地方，讓能量進入她的頭頂。我感到神的恩典和寬恕湧入並充滿了她。這對我和她來說都是一次深刻的經歷，讓她欣喜若狂。她說她以前從未像這樣感受到上帝的能量，並感到被寬恕。在下一次治療中，我問她對這件事的感覺如何，她看起來很驚訝，並說她已經原諒了這一切，不再批評自己。此外，她從小時候父母離婚的痛苦和所有的批評中解脫出來。所有這些工作都是在一次會議中進行的，如果我使用心理諮詢作為工具來解決這些問題，通常需要 6 到 12 次治療。

Reiki Heals Dating Issues
I have a counseling client we will call Cindy. She had recently started dating and a lot of shame had begun surfacing about a long-term affair that she had during her marriage. She reported that she was obsessing over the shame. I activated all the symbols and began sending Holy Fire Reiki back to the original cause of the shame of the affair. I heard in my mind the following issues that we cleared or made progress on: fear of getting divorced, the pain of experiencing her parent’s divorce, shame of getting divorced, fear of being a single mother with three special needs kids, fear of living away from her family and being all alone if she got separated, disappointment in being married to a workaholic, sadness in being married to her husband who was emotionally unavailable, fear she was unattractive, fear she would never find love again, fear of hurting her husband and the wife of her affair partner, needing support during her marriage, and shame of the affair. Because she had previously mentioned feeling like the black sheep in her family due to constant criticism and comparison to the golden child of the family, we worked on that next. We cleared criticism from her, her mother, and then going back through all the relationships in her family and through the family lineage.
Then I heard that the Holy Fire energy wanted to provide her with grace and forgiveness. I had done the prior work with my hands in Gassho while she sat on the sofa. I walked over to her and placed my hands on either side of her head about six inches over her head to allow the energy to come into her crown. I felt a rush of God’s grace and forgiveness come in and fill her up. This was a profound experience for me and for her and caused her tears of joy. She said she had never felt God’s energy like that before and felt forgiven. At the next session, I asked her how she was feeling about the affair and she looked surprised and said she had forgotten all about it and there wasn’t a charge anymore. Additionally she felt free of the pain of her parent’s divorce and all the criticisms as a child. All this work was conducted in one session, where if I had used my counseling tools to address these issues, it would have normally taken six to 12 sessions.

靈氣幫助狗狗再次奔跑和玩耍 Reiki Helps a Dog Run and Play Again
一天在田納西州的農村，我姐姐的鄰居發現一隻狗在高速公路上亂跑。看到她戴著身份證，他鬆了口氣，但當他打電話給她的主人時，他被告知他們不再想要牠了。他把牠帶回他已經滿員的動物屋，並給我妹妹打電話。她和住在附近的女兒願意照顧牠嗎？他們當然願意！
這隻狗是一種甜美、美麗的混血品種，精力充沛。他們給她取名可憐的珍珠，但她一點也不可憐！珍珠牠喜歡和附近所有的狗一起在鄉下跑來跑去。她住在這三個房子裡，並知道哪一間有最美味的食物、最舒適的床和最有趣的玩伴。
然後災難降臨了。珍珠被一輛卡車撞了。獸醫說她的臀部脫臼了，肩膀也被壓碎了。如果她不做手術來重建牠的肩膀，她的餘生都會跛足。然而，手術將花費數千美元，這讓手術的選擇被排除了。當我接到電話的時候。我姐姐問我是否可以對她進行遠距離靈氣。這是她唯一的希望。我每天都在珍珠上做靈氣。我的能量立即與牠連結，並不斷地想像牠並告訴牠，“你會再次走路。”她在我侄女家很快就康復了，但我侄女無法讓她保持冷靜。
一天晚上，當我侄女和她的家人在我姐姐家吃晚飯時，他們聽到門口有聲音。是珍珠！牠從紗窗跳了出來，走了半英里去和他們一起吃晚飯！這時距離她從動物醫院出院只有四天。在那之後，沒有任何人能阻止她。她帶著她的繃帶不停地從房子裡逃出來。去年我去田納西州旅行，終於見到了珍珠。她表現得好像她已經認識我一樣，在我的嘴唇上給了我一個大大的吻。我知道她在感謝我。珍珠已經完全痊癒，沒有絲毫跛行。這真是靈氣奇蹟！

Reiki Helps a Dog Run and Play Again
One day in rural Tennessee, my sister’s neighbor found a dog running loose on the highway. He was relieved to see that she was wearing an ID tag, but when he called her owners, he was told that they didn’t want her anymore. He took her home to his already overflowing house of animals and called my sister. Would she and her daughter, who lived close by, be willing to share her? Of course they would! The dog was a sweet, beautiful mixed breed with tons of energy. They named her Pitiful Pearl, but she was not pitiful at all! Pearl loved running all over the countryside with all the neighboring dogs. She lived at all three homes, knowing which ones had the tastiest treats, coziest beds and playmates. Then disaster struck. Pearl was hit by a truck. The vet said that her hip was dislocated and her shoulder was crushed. If she didn’t have surgery to rebuild her shoulder, she would be lame for the rest of her life. However, the surgery would cost thousands of dollars, which ruled out the option of having the surgery. That’s when I got the call. My sister asked if I could do distant Reiki on her. It was her only hope. I did Reiki on Pearl every day. I connected with her immediately and kept visualizing her and telling her, “You will walk again.” She recuperated quickly at my niece’s house, but my niece couldn’t keep her calm. One evening while my niece and her family were having dinner at my sister’s house, they heard something at the door. It was Pearl! She had jumped through the screened window and walked the half mile to have dinner with them! It had only been four days since she was released from the animal hospital. After that, there was no holding her back. She kept escaping from the house to run with her pack. Last year I took a trip out to Tennessee and finally got to meet Pearl. She acted like she already knew me and gave me a big kiss on the lips. I know she was thanking me. Pearl completely healed and doesn’t have the slightest limp. It was truly a Reiki miracle!

六合善士本名「白六合」，他是我小時候的偶像。
也是黃俊雄布袋戲作品六合系列的主角。
當時黃俊雄大師在野台戲時代時，真正出名的其實是六合系列。
據說是大師研讀《六合真經》後，得到靈感所創立的角色。
劇中的六合善士常吟詩作對出口成章，反映了黃俊雄大師的國學根基。
當時六合系列的人物也奠定了後續許多戲碼的基礎。
後來大師受邀到台視演出，才有後來的史艷文轟動武林的時代。
那時候只覺得六合他溫文儒雅，出口成章，脾氣又好，標準的聖人。
六合當時配備的的絕技是六合一氣、正氣神罡、一氣化三千。
像是打出絕招前都會念一下口訣：
「養天地之正氣，採四方之萬靈，聚忠義之精神，天地四方為六合，放之則彌六合！」
跟史艷文的純陽掌一樣，都是威力宏大的氣功，但是打出後冷卻時間很長。
記得最後六合練完天地人文武真經三千大本後～悟出一氣化三千，然後就天下無敵了。
口訣是：「天地與人為三才，日月五星為七政，一氣化三千。」
1972年演出時，就是這個纏頭帶綁髮髻的造型。
可惜在2009年美地塢片場的一場大火，將這些戲偶都燒成了灰燼。
後來乾脆把阿標師骨，黃建宏重粉的這顆頭盔偶，做成了初代六合善士的造型。
當年擁有「尪仔標」盛名的阿標師，讓這顆偶骨擁有渾然天成的孩子臉。
再加上復古的網紗偶衣，果然做起來很有當年的復古味道。
當年電視第一版的六合三俠傳。正中間那位就是當年初代的六合善士了。
譯者按：聖火靈氣的導師課程中的確有教導一種清除身體附靈的技術，但本技巧多建立於基督教的祝詞與觀念中，考慮到天主教與基督教的教義與運作的方式，本技術較適合本身為教徒者學習。另外傳統靈氣中，亦有邪氣切斷淨化法等方式，提供各位參考。
【靈氣清除附靈狀態】
自 1998 年我第一次接受培訓以來，我一直在使用靈氣。從那時起，我成為了一名靈氣大師和 Karuna 靈氣大師，並學習了水晶靈氣。去年我再次接受了聖火靈氣大師的培訓。我對於聖火能量的溫柔而感到驚訝。在過去的兩個月裡，我有一個客戶患有嚴重的健康問題，並且在過去三年中這個問題一直存在。她看過很多醫生，但沒有人能確定她每次吃飯時嘔吐的生理原因。她諮詢的一些醫生告訴她，這是由於她的精神狀況造成的。她對此不知所措。
那時，我最近搬到了科羅拉多州，並與我的新牧師談論了靈氣。他談到了這個女人的狀況，建議她來看我。她最後與我預約了會面，從她對她的健康問題的描述中，我提到她可能有附靈(Spirit Attachment)的狀況。我詢問她的許可，看看這個假設是否屬實。她同意了。我和她一起使用了驅除附體的工具和技巧。她確實有一個附靈，後來它被清除了。由於她的健康問題和虛弱的狀態，我建議她在 10 天內再進行兩次靈氣療程。我也覺得她的家需要清理。她讓我去她家看看有沒有附靈。我走進她家的每個房間並清理每個房間。當我們到達她的臥室時，當我試圖清理它時，她再次感到不適並向我提起了這件事。我檢查了她的脈輪，她的脈輪又被關閉了。然後我又一次清理了她的脈輪，接著回去清理她的臥室。清理完所有房間後，我給了她聖火靈氣。第三次和她會面，我又回到她家再次檢查她是否淨化完全，她的家是否沒有任何附靈。一切都清淨了。當我準備離開她家時，她說她有點頭疼。站在她的廚房裡，我再次給了她聖火靈氣，她的整個身體似乎都在重新調整。從那以後，她便一直沒有生病。她的思想變得更清楚了，她的能量與精力都又回來了，她現在可以吃任何東西而不嘔吐。

Reiki Clears Spirit Attachment
I have been using Reiki since 1998 when I was first trained. Since then I became a Reiki Master teacher, a Karuna Reiki® Master teacher and have studied Crystal Reiki. Last year I was trained again as a Holy Fire Reiki Master teacher. I am amazed with the Holy Fire energy and with the gentleness others receive. During the last two months, I have had a client with a serious health problem that has persisted for the past three years. She had gone to many doctors and none of them could determine a physical reason for why she vomited every time she ate. Some of the doctors that she consulted told her that it was due to her mental condition. She was at her wits’ end.
At that point, I had recently moved to Colorado and had spoken to my new pastor about Reiki. He spoke to this particular woman, recommending that she come to see me. She eventually did make an appointment and from her description of her health problems, I mentioned that she may have a spirit attachment. I asked her if I had her permission to see if this was true. She agreed. I used the Holy Fire spirit attachment tools and techniques with her. She did have an attachment, and it was cleared. Because of her health issues and weakened state, I recommended that she have two more sessions within a 10-day period. I also felt that her home needed to be cleared. She allowed me to come to her home to see if there were any attachments there. I went into every room of her house and cleared each room. When we got to her bedroom, as I was trying to clear it, she felt ill again and mentioned that to me. I checked her chakras and she was shut down again. Once I cleared her chakras, I went back to clearing her bedroom. Once all the rooms were cleared I gave her Holy Fire Reiki. For my third session with her, I returned to her home to check again to see if she was clear and her home was clear of any attachments. All was clear. When I was ready to leave her home, she commented that she had a slight headache. While standing in her kitchen, I again gave her Holy Fire Reiki and her whole body appeared to be realigning. She has not been ill since. She is thinking more clearly, her energy has returned and she now can eat anything without vomiting.

冥想的好處與醫學研究
今天看到了這張結合了脈輪與穴位與人體骨骼的圖，由於大部分的時間都在這兩個能量治療系統鑽研，所以每一個部分我都非常熟悉；除此之外，我還會將系統解剖學中的肌肉、筋膜、神經與骨骼與此相互結合，嘗試以更全面且完善的角度來看待上帝所創造的人體的迷宮。
有何不可？
記得前兩年在奇異博士這部電影中，有關於治療部分的敘述十分耐人尋味。
主角身為一個西方醫學培育出來的外科典型精英份子，在遭遇嚴重的車禍後，失去了最賴以為生的雙手機能。在耗費了時間與金錢後發現，自己信仰的醫學無法幫助自己的雙手恢復原來的狀態。最後找上了在喜馬拉雅山脈裡的卡瑪泰姬村落，並且認識了至尊魔法師古一。初見面時，古一將一本畫有輪脈的書籍拿給主角看。主角由於自身的學經歷，質疑脈輪、能量、信仰等古老傳承的智慧。
古一法師說：你自以為了解世界是如何運行的。你以為這個物質宇宙就是全部了。如果我告訴你，你所知道的這個現實世界只不過是眾多世界中的一個呢？
You think you know howthe world works. You think this material universe is all there is. What if I told you the reality you know is one of many?
而在該劇中對於治療最重要的概念即是，完美的治療肉體本身並不存在，療癒的本質更多的是仰仗的是強大的精神與認知。主角在經歷了極為震撼的出體經驗後，於是開始研習傳統的冥想、能量、治療、精微體、脈輪與魔法。
其中，最為基礎且實用的基本功，就是冥想了。
記得還在澳洲念書時，我的第一件作業就是介紹自己國家的文化特色，我介紹的就是冥想；當時的老師對於冥想十分感興趣，並在課後與我進行了許多的討論，因為冥想本身的確可以為人們帶來許多身心的好處，例如減低焦慮、增加注意力、與認知能力、提升記憶力、提升免疫系統...等等，這些部分除了軼事及口耳相傳外，在醫學研究上也獲得了實際上的論證。
在2016年卡耐基梅隆大學最新的研究中説明，冥想的訓練所能夠導致的大腦變化，就是這種變化給人體的健康帶來了影響。這個研究被發表在《生物精神病學》（Biological Psychiatry）雜誌上，並被收錄在PubMed的公開研究數據庫中。而有關於冥想已經被證實可以改善健康狀況和緩解多種疾病，這可能源自大腦在進行冥想時引起的相關變化。
研究表示，冥想可以減少人體內的炎症標誌物-白細胞介素6（IL-6）。我們可以在進行冥想時對大腦進行掃描，發現人類在進入冥想狀態時，大腦的注意力和執行控制相關區域的功能活化並相互連接，而沒有進行冥想訓練者就不會出現這種現象。
有鑑於科技與醫學的認知並非完美無漏，在人類有限的認知嚇，我們除了重視醫學在肉體上的相關研究成果外，更應該保持開放的心，多方嘗試各種可能性。這也是中心推廣各種治療技術與存在的意義。

靈氣讓腦損傷患者有很大的不同 Reiki for Brain Trauma Makes a Big Difference
作者：當．弗萊明(Dawn Fleming)
今年年初，我有機會為我的第一個因跌倒而遭受腦外傷的客戶服務。這是一次了不起的經歷，我稍後會談到。與這位客戶一起工作為我與其他腦外傷患者一起合作開闢了其他的許多機會。我真的從來沒有想過腦外傷有這麼多種可能的發生方式，或應該如何使用靈氣來幫助這些不同類型的腦外傷患者。
我從與腦外傷的客戶一起工作中學到的是，很多時候他們看起來很正常，好像什麼都沒發生過一樣。但是當他們開始給你列出自己的問題時，你會驚訝於他們是如何運作的。腦外傷可能由跌倒、事故、藥物濫用、中風、手術、頭部撞擊、運動損傷、感染、溺水和爆炸（軍人）所引起。
我的第一個腦外傷客戶南希曾兩次摔倒，頭部撞在浴室地板上。醫生告訴她，需要在黑暗的房間裡躺個 200 天，她甚至可能會開始感覺好一點，恢復部分的功能性。然後可能需要 6 個月到 2 年或更長時間才能完全癒合。她的腦部創傷導致失眠、注意力不集中、平衡問題、眼睛和頸部會劇烈疼痛、疲勞、對光敏感和嚴重頭痛。南希無法駕駛、清潔、思考或運作。她在黑暗中躺了 7 週後給我打電話。我在一個月內做了 10 次治療。第一次治療結束後，她就睡著了。第三次治療後，她的疼痛程度下降了，她的眼睛也能集中注意力。她可以和女兒出去吃午飯。 10個療程後，她又恢復了摔倒前的生活。她感覺好了將近90%。
我接下來的兩個腦外傷客戶都出過車禍。阿黛爾聯繫我是因為她的康復狀態在兩年後停滯不前，使她無法回去工作。她曾在電腦前工作，屏幕發出的光線傷害了她的眼睛，讓她感到頭疼和噁心。阿黛爾一直很活躍，但戶外活動也會引發頭痛并讓她感到噁心。 阿黛爾也是一名靈氣研習者，但希望其他人使用靈氣幫助她。經過幾次靈氣治療後，阿黛爾再次開始了兼職的工作，她可以在電腦前工作半天。她說沒有感到頭痛。又經過了幾次治療，她又開始騎自行車和跑步。有時，如果她過度勞累了，她會在此之後感覺到她需要更多的治療，但她真的相信靈氣正在幫助她重返新生活。
我最近開始與之合作的另一個車禍客戶，他的頭頂縫了很多針。他的創傷導致內出血、疼痛、混亂、激動和抑鬱。當醫務人員告訴他他有腦外傷時，他否認了這一點。他的母親問他是否願意接受靈氣。由於他還有其他一些傷病，所以他同意接受靈氣。在康復後的六週內，醫生在進行腦部掃描和測試後指出，他的大腦癒合得很好。我們正在繼續治療的流程。
我正在與之合作的另一位客戶因七年的藥物濫用而遭受腦外傷。她已經戒毒3年了。我們正在使用靈氣來治愈她的大腦、思想和身體。她的眼睛有神經炎，她的神經在她身體的不同部位被刺激活化，她有抑鬱和疲勞。當我對她進行治療時，我會治療她的整個身體。濫用藥物不僅使她的大腦陷入混亂。第一次治療後，她打電話告訴我，自從她開始吸毒以來，她第一次感覺這麼好。她問這種感覺是否會永久下去。自第一次治療以來，隨著我們繼續使用靈氣使她的身心恢復平衡，這種美好的感覺就會不斷出現。
很久以前，一位同為靈氣大師的人，腦中的一個動脈瘤爆裂了。她的女兒，也是靈氣大師，打電話給我，問我是否可以協助告訴所有靈氣社群的其他人，並立即發送靈氣。這是在社交媒體盛行之前。我給 700位靈氣大師們發了一封電子郵件。她的女兒回報說，她的母親在動脈瘤破裂後倖存下來。統計顯示，40% 的破裂動脈瘤是致命的。在那些倖存下來的人中，有 66% 患有永久性的神經功能缺損。而她的母親挺過來了，很快就痊癒了。她每天都在接受大量的遠距靈氣。當她可以和我們談論她的經歷時，她說有時她可以感覺到靈氣的波浪每天流向她並穿過她。醫生對她的康復感到驚訝，並指出由於破裂的大小和位置，她仍然和我們在一起真是一個奇蹟。
與大腦有創傷的人一起工作時，您可能會遇到很多問題如：傷口縫合、發炎、平衡問題、頭痛、噁心、記憶問題、身體虛弱、對光敏感、失去協調、混亂、注意力不集中以及抑鬱等問題。很多時候，醫生可以給予藥物來幫助治療炎症，可以縫合已經打開的區域，但很多時候他們依靠時間和身體來自我癒合。這可能是一個非常緩慢的過程，且沒有任何保證。
我發現靈氣有助於消除能量瘀塊，恢復失去的能量，減輕疼痛，並促進受創區域加速癒合過程。我還發現，最初的第一次和第二次治療可以幫助來訪者擺脫絕望、絕望和沮喪的狀態，讓他們對未來充滿希望和光明。積極的態度總是有助於加速癒合過程。我還相信，您越早對發生腦外傷的人進行治療，靈氣的影響就會對他們的康復過程產生重大影響。

Reiki for Brain Trauma Makes a Big Difference
Article by Dawn Fleming
At the beginning of this year, I had the opportunity to work on my first client that had brain trauma from a fall. It was an amazing experience that I will talk about in a bit. Working with this client opened up many other opportunities to work with others who have brain trauma. I really never thought about the many ways that brain trauma can occur or how Reiki could be used to help all of these different types of brain trauma.
What I learned from working with clients with brain trauma is a lot of the time they look normal as if nothing has happened to them. But when they begin to give you the list of issues, you are amazed at how they can function. Brain trauma can be caused by falls, accidents, substance abuse, strokes, surgery, blows to the head, sports injuries, infections, drowning, and being near explosions (military personnel).
My first brain trauma client Nancy had fallen twice and hit her head on the bathroom floor. The doctors told her that it would take up to 200 days laying in a dark room before she might even begin to feel a little better and be somewhat functional. And then it might take 6 months to 2 years or more to be completely healed. Her trauma had caused insomnia, focusing issues, balance issues, severe pain in her eyes and neck, fatigue, sensitivity to light, and severe headaches. Nancy could not drive, clean, think or function. She called me after 7 weeks laying in the dark. I did 10 sessions in one month. After the first session, she slept. After the third session, her pain levels dropped and her eyes were focusing. She went out to lunch with her daughter. After 10 sessions, she resumed the life that she had before the fall. She felt 90 percent better.
Reiki for Brain Trauma Makes a Big Difference
My next two clients with brain trauma had been in car accidents. Adele contacted me because her healing had stalled after two years’ time and she was not able to go back to work. She had worked on the computer and the light from the screen hurt her eyes and gave her terrible headaches and nausea. Adele had been very active, but outdoor activity would also spark headaches and make her feel nauseous. Adele was a Reiki practitioner as well but wanted someone else to help her with Reiki. After a few Reiki sessions, Adele began working again part-time, half days on her computer. She said there were no headaches. After a few more sessions she began riding her bike and running again. Sometimes if she overdoes it she feels it later. She has more healing that is needed, yet she really believes that Reiki is helping her to return to a new life.
The other car accident client that I recently began working with, had many stitches over the top of his head. His trauma caused internal bleeding, pain, confusion, agitation, and depression. When the medical staff told him he had brain trauma he is in denial about it. His mother asked him if he would be open to receiving Reiki. He had a number of other injuries as well so he agreed to receive the Reiki. Within six weeks of being in rehab, the doctors noted, after doing brain scans and testing, that his brain was healing quite well. We are continuing sessions.
Another client that I am working with has brain trauma from seven years of drug abuse. She has been drug-free for 3 years. We are working with Reiki to heal her brain, mind, and body. She has neuritis in her eyes, her nerves are firing in different places in her body, and she had depression and fatigue. When I do sessions on her, I work on her whole body. The drug abuse messed up more than just her brain. After the first session, she called to tell me that she felt so good for the first time since before she started drugs. She asked if this feeling would be permanent. Since the first session that feeling comes and goes as we continue to use Reiki to bring her body and mind back into balance.
A long time ago, a fellow Reiki Master had a brain aneurysm burst in her brain. Her daughter, a Reiki Master as well, called me and asked if I would get the word out to the rest of the Reiki community to send Reiki right away. This was before social media. I sent out an email to 700 Reiki Masters. Her daughter reported back that her mother survived the ruptured aneurysm. Statistics show that 40% of ruptured aneurysms are fatal. Of those that survive 66% suffer a permanent neurological deficit. Her mother pulled through and healed quickly. She was receiving a lot of distance Reiki on a daily basis. When she could talk to us about her experience, she said that at times she could feel waves of Reiki flowing to her and through her each day. The doctors were surprised with her recovery and noted that it was a miracle that she was still with us because of the size and location of the rupture.
When working with someone with trauma to the brain, you may be dealing with stitches, inflammation, balance issues, headaches, nausea, memory issues, body weakness, sensitivity to light, loss of coordination, confusion, loss of concentration, along with depression just to name a few. A lot of times the doctors can give medication to help with the inflammation can stitch up the areas that have been opened, but a lot of the time they rely on time and the body to heal itself. This can be a very slow process with no guarantees.
I have found that Reiki helps to remove the energy blocks, restore diminished energy, reduce pain, and give the traumatized areas a boost to accelerate the healing process. I have also found that the initial first and second sessions help the client move out of the state of despair, hopelessness, and depression into feeling hopeful and feeling brighter about their future. A positive attitude will always help to accelerate the healing process. I also believe that the sooner you can work on someone that has brain trauma after it has occurred, the impact of Reiki can make a big difference in their healing process.

靈氣在臨床醫療中正在興起 Reiki in the Clinical Setting is On The Rise
從醫院到收容所，靈氣進入了許多的醫療與護理機構，而且這種推動力來於自患者和臨床從業人員。
“越來越多的患者要求的護理服務超出了大多數人認為的傳統醫療服務的範圍，醫院正在通過提供這些療法來滿足他們所服務社區的需求。”健康論壇的研究員 Sita Ananth 表示，該機構是美國醫院協會 (AHA)的附屬機構。 “而醫院正透過提供這些療法來滿足他們所服務社區的需求。”
根據 AHA 的一項調查，靈氣現在是美國醫院住院時的三大補充療法之一。 按摩療法排在首位，約有 37% 的醫院患者要求按摩療法。 排名第二的是音樂和藝術療法，佔 25%，非常接近的第三名是“治愈觸摸療法”，佔 25%，其中包括靈氣和觸碰治療（Therapeutic Touch）。
醫院正在回應這些需求，他們自己發現靈氣可以提供的許多好處。 靈氣能量醫學：將治愈之觸帶入家庭、醫院和臨終關懷（Reiki Energy Medicine: Bringing Healing Touch into Home, Hospital and Hospice.）一書的合著者 Libby Barnett 和 Maggie Babb 表示：“隨著我們的醫療保健系統要求機構提供高質量但具有成本效益的服務，靈氣被認為是可以最大限度地提高患者護理和最大限度地縮短康復時間的重要工具。”
靈氣：病人喜歡它。
例如，紐約斯隆-凱特琳癌症紀念中心（Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York）不僅為患者提供靈氣療法，還每月教授一次靈氣，邀請患者的護理人員、患者本人和大眾學習。 “患者喜歡它，”紀念斯隆-凱特琳醫院綜合醫學部的管理人員、執業護士 Simone Zappa 說。 “他們喜歡它，因為它有效。”
根據國際靈氣專業協會 (IARP) 對“美國最佳醫院”（2002 年美國新聞與世界報導排名前 25 位）的研究，其中 60% 的醫院均實施了正式或非正式的靈氣計劃。 所有使用靈氣的醫院都表示，他們認為靈氣至少對患者有一定的好處，67% 的醫院表示他們認為靈氣非常有益。
靈氣在照護機構中
在照護機構中接受靈氣部分是因為它很容易融入臨床環境。 它不需要特定的設置、技術或準備。 靈氣是一種接觸療法，由於護理人員和其他專業人員經常接觸患者，這是他們工作的一部分。 如果他們受過靈氣訓練，每次接觸病人時，病人都會自動接收靈氣能量。 由於不需要長時間的正式治療來支持患者進行靈氣療法，在患者護理的正常過程中隨時都可進行小型的治療使靈氣非常容易融入其中。
護士和醫生在臨床環境中對靈氣的評價
越來越多的軼事與證據一次又一次地證實了它的好處。 在臨床環境中使用靈氣的護士和醫生一致表示：它可讓患者放鬆、冷靜與合作； 緩解急性和慢性疼痛； 增強免疫系統； 減輕壓力； 減少對止痛藥的需求； 改善睡眠和食慾； 加速癒合過程，並且沒有副作用或禁忌症。 他們還說靈氣減少了放射和化學療法的許多不良副作用，包括噁心和疲勞。
護士可以給與自我靈氣
由於一般的醫療保健服務，尤其是護理是職業倦怠率非常高的行業，因此不能低估靈氣對其從業者的好處。 靈氣對於護士和患者一樣容易融入臨床環境，讓護士在工作中進行幾分鐘的自我治療後能夠立即緩解壓力和放鬆。
正在進行的靈氣研究
靈氣與外科手術
也許最重要的是，越來越多的研究使西方醫療保健從業者能夠看到有關靈氣對患有各種疾病的患者的影響的量化研究數據。 臨床環境中正在進行的最大的靈氣研究目前持續在新罕布什爾州朴茨茅斯的哥倫比亞 / HCA 朴茨茅斯地區醫院進行（Columbia/HCA Portsmouth Regional Hospital, Portsmouth, NH, ），那裡有 8,000 多名手術患者接受了手術前和手術後的靈氣治療。 靈氣治療被納入他們的入院程序之一，也會在手術前的運送期間給予靈氣。 這些治療由訓練有素的註冊護士、物理治療師、技術人員和支援人員提供。
研究結果持續且相當一致。 在本研究中所有接受靈氣治療的患者都需要較少的麻醉，手術期間出血較少，使用的止痛藥較少，住院時間較短，並且對他們的住院經歷表示出比其他患者更高的滿意度。
靈氣與疼痛管理
加拿大埃德蒙頓的交叉癌症研究所（Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, Canada）對 20 名患有慢性疼痛的腫瘤患者進行了一項關於靈氣的影響的研究。 研究主管使用 VAS（視覺模擬量表）和李克特量表（Likert scale ）來測量接受靈氣前後的疼痛指數，他們的結論是靈氣大大改善了疼痛水平。
靈氣與腫瘤
其他針對腫瘤患者的研究表明，靈氣可以加速毒素的排除，改善免疫反應，有助於控制化療和放療的副作用，並有助於減少伴隨癌症診斷而來的不可避免的恐懼和焦慮。
靈氣與心臟疾患
耶魯大學內科心臟病科進行了一項研究，以確定靈氣是否會改善急性冠狀動脈綜合徵中恢復的患者的心率變異性 (HRV)。靈氣是耶魯-紐黑文醫院心臟科（Yale-New Haven Hospital cardiac units）提供的一項正在進行的臨床研究項目，因此本研究中的靈氣治療師是 5 名已受僱於該項目的受過靈氣培訓的護士。為了將靈氣與音樂干預和靜態休息的控制組進行比較，獲得了 12 名對照、13 名音樂和 12 名靈氣患者的連續心電圖指數。靈氣的變化明顯大於音樂組（p=0.007）或休息組（p=0.025）。
靈氣與慢性疾病
幾項關於靈氣和慢性疾病的研究表明，多發性硬化症、狼瘡、纖維肌痛和甲狀腺疾病患者的脾臟、淋巴和神經系統功能得到改善，以及對艾滋病、慢性疲勞綜合徵和睡眠障礙患者的症狀能夠獲得更佳的管理。
懷孕期間與靈氣
在康涅狄格州哈特福德的哈特福德醫院（Hartford Hospital in Hartford, CT, ）進行的研究表示，懷孕期間使用靈氣可減少 94% 的焦慮，減少 80% 的噁心，減少 78% 的疼痛，並改善 86% 的睡眠。
靈氣與生命臨終的議題
對於臨終問題，臨終關懷研究表明靈氣可以解決身體和情緒症狀，同時改善安寧治療期間的生活品質。 靈氣可以促進深度放鬆、疼痛管理，並能以較少的藥物緩解抑鬱症。 它還有助於釋放焦慮、悲傷和恐懼，支持親人的正面情緒以冷靜、平和的度過最後階段。
靈氣與兒童們
臨床醫生發現靈氣對兒童同樣安全有效。 在加州最大的醫院之一加州太平洋醫療中心（California Pacific Medical Center），專門研究傳染病的兒科醫生 Mike Cantwell 博士提供一到三個小時的靈氣治療。 Cantwell 博士說：“我發現靈氣可用於治療急性疾病，例如肌肉骨骼損傷、疼痛、頭痛、急性感染和哮喘。 靈氣對慢性病患者也很有用，尤其是那些與慢性疼痛有關的患者。”
靈氣從搖籃到墳墓
從搖籃到墳墓，新生兒病房、收容所、醫院、療養院、手術室、器官移植病房和其他臨床環境中的患者越來越多地得到靈氣的幫助，因此，靈氣服務正越來越多地融入臨床環境中。
靈氣與身體創造的自愈能力
“將靈氣與傳統醫療保健相結合，不僅有助於治愈可治癒的疾病，而且還提供了一種護理無法治癒的疾病的解決方案。 因為靈氣促進了身體創造的自愈能力，所以當靈氣……是醫療計劃的一部分時，會發生許多戲劇性的癒合與轉變，”作者 Libby Barnett 和 Maggie Babb 說。

Reiki in the Clinical Setting is On The Rise
Reiki is increasingly finding its way into institutional settings, from hospitals to hospices, and the push appears to be coming from patients as well as clinical practitioners.
“More and more, patients are requesting care beyond what most consider to be traditional health services, and hospitals are responding to the needs of the communities they serve by offering these therapies,” according to researcher Sita Ananth of Health Forum, an affiliate of the American Hospital Association (AHA). “And hospitals are responding to the needs of the communities they serve by offering these therapies.”
Reiki is now one of the top three complementary in-patient therapies in U.S. hospitals, according to an AHA survey. Massage therapy takes first place, with 37% of hospital patients requesting it. Number two is music and art therapy at 25%, and a very close third is “healing touch therapies” at 25%, which included Reiki and Therapeutic Touch.
Hospitals are responding, discovering for themselves the many benefits Reiki can offer. “As our health care system challenges institutions to offer high-quality but cost-effective service, Reiki is being recognized as an important tool to maximize patient care and minimize recovery time,” according to Libby Barnett and Maggie Babb, co-authors of Reiki Energy Medicine: Bringing Healing Touch into Home, Hospital and Hospice.
Reiki: Patients love it.
For example, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York not only offers Reiki therapy to patients but also teaches Reiki once a month, inviting the patients’ caregivers, the patients themselves, and the general public to learn it. “Patients love it,” says Simone Zappa, RN, an administrator in the Integrative Medicine Department at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. “And they love it because it works.”
According to an International Association of Reiki Professionals (IARP) study of “America’s Best Hospitals” (the top 25 ranked by U.S. News and World Report in 2002), 60% of them had formal or informal Reiki programs in place. All hospitals using Reiki said that they believed Reiki to be at least somewhat beneficial for patients, and 67% said they believed Reiki to be highly beneficial.
Reiki in Institutions
Acceptance of Reiki in institutions comes in part because it is so easy to incorporate into the clinical setting. It requires no specific setting, technology, or preparation. Reiki is a touch therapy, and RNs and other professionals routinely touch patients as part of their job. If they are Reiki-trained, every time they touch a patient, the patient automatically receives Reiki energy. Since long, formal sessions are not required to support a patient with Reiki therapy, opportunistic mini-treatments in the normal course of patient care make Reiki very easy to incorporate.
What Nurses and Physicians say about Reiki in the Clinical Setting
Mounting anecdotal evidence confirms its benefits over and over again. Nurses and physicians who use Reiki in the clinical setting consistently say it: Makes a patient relaxed, calm and cooperative; relieves acute and chronic pain; boosts the immune system; reduces stress; decreases the need for pain medication; improves sleep and appetite; accelerates the healing process, and has no side effects or contraindications. They also say that Reiki reduces many of the unwanted side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, including nausea and fatigue.
Self Reiki for Nurses
Since health care service in general and nursing in particular are industries with very high burnout rates, the benefits of Reiki for practitioners cannot be underestimated. Reiki is just as easily incorporated into the clinical setting for a nurse as it is for a patient, allowing the nurse immediate stress relief and relaxation after just a few minutes of self-treatment on the job.
Ongoing Research
Reiki and Surgery
Perhaps most importantly, increasing research allows Western healthcare practitioners to see quantifiable data about the effects of Reiki on patients with a variety of conditions. The largest ongoing study of Reiki in the clinical setting continues to be conducted at Columbia/HCA Portsmouth Regional Hospital, Portsmouth, NH, where more than 8,000 surgical patients have been given pre-and post-surgery Reiki treatments. Reiki is incorporated into their admission procedure and is also administered during transport to surgery. Treatments are given by trained RNs, physical therapists, technicians, and support staff.
Research results continue to be consistent. All the patients in this study who received Reiki had the need for less anesthesia, had less bleeding during surgery, used less pain medications, had shorter lengths of stay in the hospital, and indicated greater satisfaction with their hospital experience than other patients.
Reiki for Pain Management
The Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, Canada, conducted a study on the effects of Reiki with 20 oncology patients in chronic pain. Study supervisors used both a VAS (visual analog scale) and Likert scale to measure pain before and after Reiki, and their conclusion was that Reiki greatly improved pain levels.
Reiki and Oncology
Other research with oncology patients shows that Reiki speeds up the elimination of toxins, improves immune response, helps manage side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, and helps reduce the inevitable fear and anxiety that accompanies a cancer diagnosis.
Reiki and the Heart
The Section of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, at Yale University conducted a study to determine if Reiki would improve Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in patients recovering from acute coronary syndrome. Reiki is an ongoing clinical program offered on Yale-New Haven Hospital cardiac units, so the Reiki therapists in this study were 5 Reiki-trained nurses already employed in that program. To compare Reiki to musical intervention and resting control, continuous electrocardiographic readings were obtained for 12 control, 13 music, and 12 Reiki patients. The change with Reiki was significantly greater than with music (p=0.007) or resting (p=0.025).
Reiki and Chronic Illnesses
Several studies on Reiki and chronic illness indicate improvement in spleen, lymphatic and nervous system function in patients with multiple sclerosis, lupus, fibromyalgia, and thyroid disorder, as well as better management of symptoms in patients with AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome, and sleep disorders.
Reiki during Pregnancy
Research conducted at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, CT, showed that Reiki used during pregnancy reduced anxiety by 94 percent, reduced nausea by 80 percent, reduced pain by 78 percent, and improved sleep by 86 percent.
Reiki and End of Life Issues
For end of life issues, hospice studies show that Reiki addresses physical and emotional symptoms while improving quality of life during palliative care. Reiki promotes deep relaxation, pain management, and relief from depression with less medication. It also facilitates the release of anxiety, grief, and fear, supporting positive emotional closure with loved ones and a calm, peaceful passing.
Reiki and Children
Clinicians have found that Reiki is equally safe and effective for children. At California Pacific Medical Center, one of California’s largest hospitals, Dr. Mike Cantwell, a pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases, provides one to three-hour-long Reiki sessions. Dr. Cantwell says, “I have found Reiki to be useful in the treatment of acute illnesses such as musculoskeletal injury, pain, headache, acute infections, and asthma. Reiki is also useful for patients with chronic illnesses, especially those associated with chronic pain.”
Reiki from Cradle to Grave
Literally from cradle to grave, patients in neonatal units, hospices, hospitals, nursing homes, surgical suites, organ transplant units, and other clinical settings are increasingly being helped by Reiki, and as a result, Reiki is being incorporated into the clinical setting more and more.
Reiki and the Body’s Creative Ability to Heal Itself
“Incorporating Reiki with conventional healthcare not only assists with curing the curable, but also provides a solution for caring for the incurable. Because Reiki facilitates the body’s creative ability to heal itself, dramatic healing shifts can occur when Reiki…is part of a medical treatment plan,” according to authors Libby Barnett and Maggie Babb.

摘要：
心肌梗塞後患者發生心律失常性猝死的風險增加。我們已知壓力和交感神經活化會影響心律失常的發生。雖然放鬆療法可以改善多種疾病的心理健康，但這些療法是否可以對心梗後患者的交感/迷走神經的平衡產生積極性的影響尚不清楚。我們探索了靈氣(一種以手輕觸的放鬆療法)和音樂對急性冠狀動脈綜合徵 (ACS) 住院患者的生理影響，使用心率變異性 (HRV) 評估治療期間對於心臟自主神經功能的變化。在過去 72 小時內，48 名 ACS 患者隨機接受靈氣、古典音樂或以控制“最小分心環境”的單次 20 分鐘治療。所有受試者均接受動態心電圖動態監測狀態。情緒狀態由李克特量表(Likert scale)評估。 HRV 在基線、干預和干預後期間均通過快速傅立葉變換頻譜分析(fast Fourier transformation )進行數據分析，高頻功率（對數常態分布-log normalized）通過變異數分析（ ANOVA ）與重複測量進行比較。在 12 名對照組、13 名音樂治療和 12 名靈氣患者中記錄了足夠的動態心電圖數據。 HRV 的高頻 (HF) 分量（一種副交感神經張力指數）在施作靈氣 (0.58±0.16) 期間顯著增加，但在音樂 (-0.1±0.16) 或控制組 (0.06±0.16) 期間沒有顯著增加。 RR 間隔隨著靈氣控制而顯著增加，但不會隨著音樂而增加。與對照組相比，靈氣組顯著減少了焦慮並增加了放鬆感（p=0.04），而音樂組則沒有。總之，接受靈氣訓練的護士輕觸心肌梗塞後接受者的迷走神經活動增加，焦慮減少。長期使用這種療法是否可以改善結果仍需要進一步研究。
研究結論：靈氣可增加急性冠狀動脈綜合症（ACS） 患者的迷走神經活動並減少焦慮狀態。 長期使用這種療法是否可以改善結果需要進一步研究。

Abstract
Post-MI patients are at increased risk of arrhythmic sudden death. Stress and sympathetic activation are known to influence arrhythmogenesis. While relaxation therapies improve psychological well-being in multiple medical illnesses, whether these therapies can positively influence sympathovagal balance in the post-MI population is unknown. We explored the physiologic effects of Reiki, a light-touch relaxation therapy, and music on post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) inpatients, using heart rate variability (HRV) to assess changes in cardiac autonomic function during treatment. Forty-eight patients with ACS within the last 72 hours were randomized to received a single 20-minute session of either Reiki, classical music, or a control "minimal distraction environment". All subjects underwent ambulatory ECG Holter monitoring. Emotional state was assessed by Likert scale. HRV was analyzed by spectral analysis via fast Fourier transformation during the baseline, intervention, and post-intervention periods and high-frequency power (lognormalized) compared via ANOVA with repeated measures. Adequate Holters were recorded in 12 control, 13 music, and 12 Reiki patients. High frequency (HF) component of HRV, an index of parasympathetic tone, increased significantly during Reiki (0.58±0.16) but not during music (-0.1±0.16) or control (0.06±0.16). RR interval increased significantly with Reiki and control, but not with music. Reiki significantly reduced reported anxiety and increased sense of relaxation compared to control (p=0.04), whereas music did not. In conclusion, post-MI recipients of light-touch from nurses trained in Reiki experienced increased vagal activity and decreased anxiety. Whether longer-term use of this therapy can improve outcomes requires further study.
