Acknowledgments

So many people have contributed to this bookRKMRI Medical Reiki Masters Kristin DeGroat, Marleen Duffy, Carolyn Nicholson Fowler, and Michelle Robin provided me with Reiki sessions; Lydia Lyte, Lille OBrien, Thayer Burch, and Lisa Vento Abbatiello lent me their constant spiritual support; my intrepid therapist Bernice Belth listened to my souls journey as it wound its way through powerful feelings that transformed themselves into rivers of words. And I can never thank Chris Mitchell enough for bringing me tea, serving me meals, and rescuing me when he felt I needed a reprieve from the sentences and paragraphs continuously dancing in my head.

I thank Kathie Lipinski, Registered Nurse and Reiki Master Teacher, for explaining to me how important Reiki is for doctors, nurses, and all other health care professionals when she said, By caring for themselves with Reiki, all those who work in health care can remember why they went into medicine in the first place and extend heart-centered caring to their patients.

My gratitude goes to author and friend Andrea Bartz, who kindly looked with fresh eyes at my proposal which brought me to my superstar agent, Steve Harris. Steve is a treasure who is always behind me one thousand percent!

And my heart overflows with gratitude to my brilliant editor, Angela Wix, who like a fearless surgeon has cut and stitched together the most important elements of this book so it can live a robust life, full of health, telling the story of Medical Reikis benefits for not just doctors patients, but for doctors themselves. Kudos to my production editor Rhiannon Nelson for her focused attention on every detail before this book went to print, and my undying gratitude goes to Llewellyn Publishing for all the care everyone has put into moving this project forward!

Most of all, I thank Dr. Sheldon Marc Feldman, the master surgeon and incredible physician who has humbled me with his co n tinuous belief in my work. This book would not exist without his willingness to embrace a brighter way forward for patients through the addition of what, after all our years of working together, has come to be known as Medical Reiki .

With palms pressed together at my heart, I bow in deep gratitude to all the Beings of Light, both seen and unseen, who have given me this opportunity to share my words that are intended to bring blessings to those in need.

Foreword

By Sheldon Marc Feldman, MD, FACS

In the 1970s when I was a medical student and surgical resident, I was being groomed to become a heart surgeon. It was extraordinary to literally hold someones heart in your hands and to fix it so that the patient would continue to live. My mentor was Dr. Frank Spencer, chairman of surgery at NYU and a pioneer in new heart surgery techniques. He was charismatic, powerful, and a master surgeon and communicator with his patients and families. Most of the surgical trainees wanted to follow in his footsteps. It was a field that was rapidly progressing and that was where I was headed in my career. Then in 1977 when I was a third-year resident, my older sister, Fern, was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. That diagnosis threw everything up in the air for me in terms of my career path, and for my family. Fern had three little children and she tragically died two years later, which changed my path.
