Many healing miracles with Reiki have occurred and there are many books and articles that have documented this, but usually Reiki is not a magic bullet. It's a healing modality that should be used in conjunction with other healing modalities to help heal and change your life. The types of healing modalities used with Reiki depend on your needs and circumstances.
Having said that, it is important to understand that Aura Attunements are not a substitute for professional medical care or any condition requiring immediate medical attention. With any mental and emotional issues, Reiki should be used in conjunction with professional medical treatment instead of by itself. Depending on the mental or emotional issue, treatments can include conventional medical doctors and/or one or more other medical practitioners such as a naturopath, osteopath, chiropractor, hypnotherapist, acupuncturist, dietician, etc., whichever you determine is appropriate for your circumstances.
Reiki as an adjunctive therapy can be a very effective and important element of a healing program. For example, if you break your arm, you should go to the doctor to have it set and put into a cast, then channel Reiki to the arm so it can heal faster. You would not expect Reiki to set the bone.
I understand that the above might be obvious for most people, but I do receive e-mails from people stating that after taking years to become ill or being ill for many years and not addressing the problem, they expect to receive a few Reiki Attunements and become healed. It does not work that way. Usually becoming sick is a process and becoming well is also a process. Using Reiki or any healing modality, Western Medicine, pills and drugs is not going to heal you instantly. I do believe if you include Reiki Attunements with other healing modalities the majority of the time, the healing process will become easier and quicker.
Since everyone's life journey and circumstances are different and unique concerning mental and emotional issues, it can be a few days to a few weeks or a month before any changes are experienced or felt after receiving an Aura Attunements. The key to a successful outcome is to be consistent with the Aura Attunements and all other treatments prescribed for the mental and emotional issues, and most of all, have patience.
Every person's life journey and circumstances are different. Throw in life's big picture on top of that and it's impossible for any Healer to figure out or understand why Reiki does not help at all times. I have heard many reasons why Reiki sometimes does not heal and I assume some are correct at times. They include "it is too late for the physical body to heal" or "it's the person's Karma not to heal." Another is "since metaphysical laws state if a person does not desire healing, either unconsciously or consciously, it can be rejected."
