I was honored when Christine asked me to visit Laurence in the hospital to give him Reiki. This hands-on-healing technique is essentially a Japanese stress-reduction practice, but for me it has evolved to include a profound Christian aspect. I have been praying for Laurence over the past year, and have always felt his strong loving connection with Jesus. I was still unprepared in my Reiki sessions with Laurence to see and feel the presence of Jesus in the room with us. It has been a gift I can barely write about without tears of gratitude.
During my most recent visit, while I was leaning over one side of Laurence with my hands over his heart, I could feel Jesus doing the same on the other side. At one point I closed my eyes in prayer, and as I saw Jesus approach the bed in my mind’s eye, the sun pulsed brighter and brighter through my eyelids. Each time I have been with Laurence, I have been humbled by the great feeling of Love that fills the room.
Laurence’s ministry of Love and Compassion is evident even as he lay sleeping in his hospital bed.

Lynn, I think maybe I know what you mean. When I am visiting Laurence, I feel like he is ministering to me more powerfully than I could possibly be ministering to him. Thank you, too, for sharing about the presence of Jesus Christ in the room; reading your blog entry felt very comforting to me. Love to all -
