Energy Medicine

Foreword to Energy Medicine

I recently sent out my announcement that I was resuming doing Family Practice. In that email I mentioned that I believe that the future of medicine is Total or Whole Integrative Medicine. That means that we look at you as a whole, the sum of all of your parts, for example if you have a Blood Pressure problem then you might also have a kidney problem, a weight problem, a nutritional problem, a psychological issue, an ophthalmic disorder, a mineral problem and maybe even a heart problem. Our aim is to treat the “whole” you.

With that preamble I would like to introduce to you a person who I met several years ago and she has become a friend and healer to me and my family. Her name is Dr. Bina Shah. She is a retired OBGYN doctor who now just does “energy medicine”. She is a Grand Master in Reike and performs many other well known forms of energy medicine. Attached is her Curriculum Vitae and synopsis of her personal life along with some very telling testimonials. I would strongly recommend that you read her synopsis of what she does and who she is.

Dr Shah will be working out of our office as an independent Physician and you may call our regular office number (407-206-1500) to make an appointment. I can personally give you a testimonial that she possesses incredible healing powers without the use of drugs or any other herbal medicines. After the recent tragic death of my son Jason sleeplessness was the norm and the incessant crying was totally disabling. Dr Shah came over to my house and administered Reike to me on many occasions. Without the use of drugs (which I personally hate) I got my first four hours of sleep, was able to begin functioning by at first just taking a shower then actually interacting with people and finally eating food. I am not sure I can quantify what she did for me but each time she came over I felt a little better and was able to begin to interact with society again. But the best part was I that I went through the painful steps necessary for a recovery with an intact brain and I believe in the fastest way possible.

Please read the article below and if you do not know what Reike is, it will be a great learning experience and if you do know what it is, then know that she is an incredibly strong Reike Grand Master.

What is Reiki?

Reiki, a form of Holistic Healing, is a healing approach to transfer Universal Life Force Energy to heal and harmonize the body, mind and spirit.

Reiki is an Usui system of Energy Medicine developed by Dr. Mikao Usui of Japan. Dr. Usui, The Grand Master and Founder, was enlightened by Reiki divine light in the 18th century.

Reiki can be summarized as: Rei-Ki. Rei means spirit/soul and Ki means Universal Life Force Energy. This subtle energy pervades through all levels of the physical, emotional mental and spiritual bodies. Everything and everybody in the universe is made of matter, which is simply frozen light energy with consciousness.

Thus, anything and all living beings can be energized and healed with Reiki Energy. Reiki knows no caste, creed, doctrine, or religion. It simply happens by Reiki’s Grace, Love and Light.

A Reiki Healer becomes channel of Universal Energy after an attunement by a Reiki Master. Energy starts to flow from healer’s hand to the receiver’s body. We all have inner healing powers to heal ourselves but a Reiki Healer is able to transfer large amounts of pure, concentrated Universal Life Force Energy to the receiver and thus enhance and speed up the healing process.

Reiki helps to:

• Reduce stress
• Relieve pain
• Promote restfulness and improved sleep
• Relieve anxiety and depression
• Accelerate wound healing
• Ameliorate pre-operative anxiety
• Decrease post-surgical pain
• Increase immune function
• Improve circulation
• Increase a sense of well-being

Reiki Compliments Medical Treatment:

Reiki is simple, gentle, non-invasive and safe can be self-administered and used as tool for relaxation at any time works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques beneficial during any illness.

How is Reiki Provided?

The person receiving Reiki is fully clothed and may be relaxing on a table, or sitting comfortably in a chair. Reiki can be received in any state of health. With stillness and concentration, the healer connects with her Life Force Energy, which then flows through her hands to the recipient. The recipient will receive the amount of energy he/she needs to bring his/her body and mind into balance. Sessions vary in duration, most are 45 minutes long.

Can Reiki be given without touching human body?

Yes, it can be given at “Ethric Double Auric Body Level” and is extremely powerful, without the healer even touching the recipient.

Can Reiki be sent to a distant person?

Yes, since it is vibrational frequency that passes from healer with intention to the receiver. It can be sent to any person, places, situation, emotion, pets, plants, planets, or even to non-living things that are not in physical proximity.

Is Reiki healer drained of her/his own energy after treatment?

No, healer is only a “channel”. What he receives from divine light as universal life force energy, he gives to the recipient. But, the healer is more energized and experiences all wonders and miracles of these sacred energies.

What Does Reiki Feel like?

The most common response to a Reiki session is deep relaxation. Quite often the experience is so relaxing that recipients may even fall asleep. Some report a profound sense of calm and peacefulness during and after the session. Many others report a sense of openness with others, which is not surprising as the sharing of Life Force Energy is the true experience of Reiki.

Today, we all live with stresses, pain, sufferings, diseases, and emotional and mental problems. They are due to imbalances in our subtle energy systems. Reiki can balance, harmonize and heal them, bringing health, happiness peace, and joy in your life.

Come visit us. Let us join hands and unite together to experience the wonders of Reiki energy’s and feel complete, whole and united with His Graces blessings

Testimonials

After each session with Dr. Bina Shah, I do not only feel the difference in pain, mood, and anxiety, but my spirit is also uplifted. I laugh more frequently and forget about the threats of my cancer diagnosis.

For the first time in over 5 years, I went to my doctor’s office without my cane. My doctor was surprised how well I was walking! Infact, after my session with Dr. Shah, I received so much energy that I felt as if I ran out of the building, not walked!
JC, age 59, arthritis patient

During my first Reiki session, I was having physical pain, particularly in my right hip. I could actually feel tingling in the area where Dr. Shah applied Reiki. This was a pretty good indication that something was happening! The next two sessions, going in, I had been distraught about a friends terminal diagnosis; but I left Dr. Shah’s office feeling much more peaceful and with a relaxed attitude.

As a television producer, I have had the good fortune of meeting a diversified group of healers over the years. However, nothing could compare to the quiet power of Dr. Bina Shah. The energy transfer begins the moment she shakes your hand and does not even until long after she leaves the room. Don’t be fooled by her small stature, her endurance and stamina have GOT to be to huge with the work she does! I would recommend her to anyone who needs to rid themselves of toxins within. Thank you Bina!

After just a few treatments, my quality of life has improved tremendously. My right foot, which used to swell all the time, is almost back to normal now. The tearing from my eyes has almost completely gone away.
PD, age 68, Orlando, FL

Since I started receiving Reiki Energy, some of my previously destroyed relationships have been restored. I am able to handle my financial problems better. I am planning for the near future more than I have ever done. During the last 2 sessions, I see and feel the color white, which to me represents purity, healing and my dream of getting married in a white dress some day.

My doctor and I noticed small, red bumps forming on my left chest near my surgery site that had been growing for several weeks. My doctor wanted to do a biopsy; Dr. Shah used Reiki to stimulate my body to rid itself of these bumps. Several days after this session, they appeared to be dying out. A subsequent PET Scan showed no unusual activity in this area.
HC, age 57

I was bleeding from uterus off & on with clots, pain, backache, and depression with fatigue for 8 months. Sonogram was normal. My doctor advised surgery but I refused. Dr. Bina Shah gave 3 reiki energy sessions. I felt much better, but bleeding did not stop completely. Then Dr. Shah did “ psychic surgery” on me and since that day, I have not had any more bleeding problems. Thank you Dr. Binaben.
BC, age 51

I was breathless and sneezing during Christmas. When I retrieved my voicemail, I heard Dr. Bina’s voice saying “ Merry Christmas to you with light, love, and reiki greetings”. Believe me, the moment I put my phone down, all my breathlessness was gone and I felt relaxed and energetic. Thank you Bina,
DT age 43

I had a breast cancer diagnosis in fall of 2006, and Reiki was key in changing my attitude and outlook, both emotionally and physically. Side effects of courses of treatment this past year included hand/foot syndrome, high blood pressure, peripheral neuropathy, pain, fatigue, vomiting, IBS, breast cancer cells developing in the skin on my chest, and the inability to walk for a couple of days (unexplained); I also suffered from what many patients call “chemo brain”, which affected my memory and ability to concentrate and formulate thoughts, so much that, combined with my physical symptoms, I became disabled and unable to work. It was most fortunate that I was offered the opportunity to meet with Dr Bina Shah in November 2007 and was introduced to Reiki. I have since become third-degree certified, and have learned many techniques to keep my energetic body strong and cooperative to the strong chemotherapies I receive, as well as methods to deal with the many side-effects of these drugs, examples of which include:

• Migraine headaches: during the third round of chemotherapy I experienced intense pains; rather than using drugs to alleviate the pain, I used Reiki techniques, and have eliminated this symptom.
• Hand/foot syndrome: the soles of my feet were turning black, and walking was becoming painful. Dr Bina and I used Reiki methods on these areas, and stopped the progression of the discoloration, and eliminated the pain. My feet have since returned to normal color.
• Fatigue: I spend nearly three hours each day doing Reiki and Energy Medicine. On the days I skip or abbreviate, I notice that my energy level is not as high as days that I complete the full regimen. I have not been sick with colds or flu since beginning Reiki.
• Physical symptoms: my doctor and I noticed small red bumps forming on my left chest near my surgery site that had been growing for several weeks. My doctor wanted to do a biopsy. Dr Bina and I used Reiki methods to stimulate my body to rid itself of these bumps; several days after doing this they appear to be ‘dying out’ and sloughing off of my skin. A subsequent PET scan showed no unusual activity in this area.
• Pleural Effusion: on three separate occasions I have had over a liter of cancerous fluid drained from my left pleura; the first incident was accompanied with severe, debilitating pain. The second incident I was asymptomatic, which I attributed to Reiki methods I used to energize my body and eliminate pain. In fact, I was back home, riding my bicycle only three hours after the second thoracentesis.
• Abdomen pain: I would have unexplained sharp pains in my abdomen, so severe that it hurt to move. By using Reiki techniques I was able to ‘chase’ the pain out of my body.
• Lymphatic system: A result of my surgery was increased risk of lymphedema. My left arm swelled and became painful; I tried physical therapy and lymphatic massage with only limited success. Only after supplementing these therapies with Reiki was I able to substantially reduce the swelling and am now able to maintain my status, pain-free.
• Several days after going through third-degree training, I suddenly was not able to walk or stand due to deliberating pain in the Liver and Kidney accu-pressure points of my knees. My oncologist advised me that this problem was outside the scope of oncology and was not a symptom of my treatment or cancer. I believed that toxins were exiting my body through these points; however, modern medicine would not allow for this explanation. After a trip to the emergency room revealed no cause for my excruciating pain and inability to walk, I was told to go home and take pain medication. I was wheelchair-bound for two days. Dr. Bina was contacted on the second day and she performed distance Reiki along with me performing Reiki on myself. By the next morning I was able to walk again, slowly. After a couple more days I resumed my normal activities pain-free.

I am absolutely certain that had I not learned of, nor applied, these techniques and methods to assist in my cancer treatment, my prognosis would be short and dismal. I am thankful every day for Reiki and for Dr. Bina Shah.
