And then there's Ellen Louise Kahne of the New York area who is the founder of The Reiki Peace Network and Reiki University (Reiki is a form of spiritual healing that directly affects the physical and can be taught).Kahene witnessed the tragedy of 9-11 from her apartment building some miles away.Although deeply and personally affected, the daily drama at Ground Zero with rescue workers also troubled her so much so that she named November 24, 2001 as a "Day of Healing for All" and arranged with Cross Island YMCA for the space she would need for the project.Her goal was to offer a day of free healing services for rescue workers sorely in need.
Chiropractors, Reiki masters, spiritual healing practitioners, massage therapists, re,exologists, hospice grief counselors, nutritionists, and experts in several types of bodywork/restructuring, answered her call, some coming from great distances.This assemblage of healing helpers served over 76 people during the course of that day, with one of the massage therapists reporting that he gave between 40 to 50 treatments."One policeman," Kahne noted, "was so drained by the constant work schedule, by the lack of days off, that he needed everything our healing hands could provide.And we gave him everything.At the end of the day he looked happy, relaxed, and at peace, as did his wife and two young children who also receiving healing.For anyone who was motivated to contribute a donation for our ‘free' services, we provided them with envelopes addressed to the September 11 Fund."Kahne has since organized other "Day of Healing for All" marathons and plans to continue them as an active force for healing whenever there is need.
