Arlene was pregnant, very pregnant. Her baby was due any time now. For this second pregnancy, Arlene opted to be under the care of a competent and caring midwife. Everything was going smoothly and according to plan until a midwifery visit revealed that baby had turned into a “face up” position. Arlene was worried and she shared her concerns with me as a friend.
A few days later, when I was putting my children to bed, I had the idea of sending Arlene some Distance Reiki. I had already done so earlier and a follow up treatment seemed to be called for. I hoped that the soothing Reiki energy would help Arlene relax and to be at ease.
I went through the regular Distance Reiki protocol and then started by treating Arlene’s head first, followed by her shoulders and heart area. Everything felt calm and peaceful. But as soon as I focused my attention on her pregnant belly, I was suddenly sucked into the womb where I found myself face to face with baby. Instantly, I felt her female spirit and I knew this was a girl.
We were both surprised and delighted to meet. After a little while I started up a “conversation” with baby that went something like this.
Fränzi: “Hello baby. Your mommy and daddy are ready to meet you. Your brother is excited to see you, too. Soon it will be time for you to be born. Now you need to put your head down there so you can go into the other word.”
Baby: “But I don’t want to go down there. It is all dark, bony and hard down there. Up here I have lots of room, it is soft, warm and I can even see some lighter patches. I love watching the different red colours. They are so pretty.”
I had to agree. The world up here indeed looked a lot cozier than the much darker, bony area of the pelvis.
Fränzi: “I see. This is a beautiful place indeed. But it is now time for you to go down there so you can be born and meet your family. You are a smart and beautiful baby and this is what you need to do now.”
After this exchange, the clarity of my experience started to fade and I entered the lovely Reiki La-La-Land where I stayed for another thirty minutes simply enjoying the bliss and peace of this ancient healing energy.
A few days later, I called Arlene to find out how she was doing. Finally, I mustered up the courage to ask her if by any chance she noticed anything on that particular evening between 8 and 9 pm? I told her that I sent her Reiki and shared, hesitatingly, my experience.
It is only too easy to dismiss the above described account as a vivid dream at best, or as the vain output of a self-important, illusional imagination. However, only after a moment’s hesitation Arlene responded: “Oh, yes, I remember Monday night very well. I was watching this show on TV at 8:15 pm when suddenly that baby began to move. This is my second pregnancy but I am telling you that I have never experienced anything like this before! I thought baby was going to be born through my mouth. Baby was so active and the movements were so big I was almost scared. And then this huge commotion suddenly stopped and everything has been normal ever since.”
“Today, my midwife told me that baby’s head was now engaged. I know this happened at the time when baby was moving like crazy, at the time when you sent me Reiki. What a miracle.”
A few days later, Ava Johnson, a smart and beautiful baby girl was born in the Prince George Regional Hospital. I was blessed to be one of the first people to meet her – this time in my neck of the woods.
Reiki made this magical experience possible. I feel honoured to have been able to facilitate it for both mommy and baby.
