Last Friday, 12 October 2018, the Connecting Reiki with Medicine programme was honoured by a visit from Phyllis Furumoto, Lineage Bearer, Usui Shiki Ryoho.

Phyllis made a flying twenty-four hour visit to the UK especially to spend time at St George’s Hospital. She toured the Ruth Myles Unit (bone marrow transplant , haematology), experiencing time with a patient in isolation and seeing at first-hand how the practitioners work in these high dependency conditions.

Phyllis also met with Dr Fenella Willis, Consultant Haematologist and Tracey di Lorenzo, Treasurer and Trustee of Full Circle Fund Therapy Charity. Melanie Glanville, Lead Reiki Practitioner and Feona Gray, founder member of CRWM also attended. Sadly, Suzanne Ruggles, CEO of Full Circle, was unable to be present due to a family emergency.

Leaving the hospital, Phyllis Furumoto said how much she had enjoyed her visit.

For me, personally, it was a huge privilege to be present at a moment in time when I felt Medicine truly met Reiki. The positive energy and the connection that was made was palpable. Gratitude.
