Gillian Barre



My cousin contracted Gillian Barre one day. His status as an able bodied person disintegrated from healthy to paralyzed from the neck down and on a respirator in 12 hours, the prognosis was anything but promising. He landed in the big city ICU but in 3 months there was no progress. He was alive, he communicated by blinking, but he was paralyzed, in limbo as it were, with a noisy machine forcing him to breathe.

We stood by helplessly. One of my cousins got the brainwave that a few of us should take Reiki to see if we could help him, we were so desperate to end his limbo in ICU that we signed up for a course.


When we learned how to do "distance Reiki" during our 1st and 2nd Degree Reiki training, we all directed our healing energy toward our cousin with Gillian Barre in ICU. We hoped for the best but didn't expect much to happen...later we learned that our cousin began talking and talking and talking within 15 minutes of our Distance Reiki Treatment .


We continued to "hands-on" and Distance Reiki daily, within 2 weeks of the first Distance Reiki Treatment our cousin progressed so quickly he was moved into a regular ward, then into rehab, then home in a wheelchair but he still had a significant amount of fine motor skill impairment.

A few years later my cousin was frustrated, in spite a great amount of physio and exercise he was stuck at a disappointing plateau. He wanted to walk and to work.

We offered to do synchronized Distance Reiki 3 times per week for 9 weeks. During the treatments most of the remaining fine motor skill impairment vanished, he was stronger in every way including his legs, but still he couldn't walk. We were thrilled that he recovered his fine motor skills and strength, but we were disappointed that he couldn't walk.

We thought we had done all we could do, then the Universe bent over backwards to accomodate and utilize him as he was.

Out of the blue he was offered a part-time job, that led to a job offer with more frills. One of those frills included a cost-free upgrade on his van so he could independantly drive anywhere and load and unload himself and his wheelchair. Then he landed an even better job.

Reiki always works...according to the Creator's will, not your will or mine....and not always in the ways we expect! With Reiki my cousin is alive, healthy and living the "starring role" in his life...without Reiki who knows what would have happened?

I am in awe of and grateful for Reiki, we followed our hunch and learned Reiki, an "odd ball" alternative healing modality and it ended up playing a miraculous role in my cousin's recovery from Gillian Barre.

If you are searching for hope regarding your Gillian Barre case please email or blog me, I can't promise a specific result but I can promise I will Distance Reiki if you ask me to.
