The day I did my sons lasik operation
I
can still remember the day when me and my son pramit gone for our eye check up in L.V Prasad eye hospital Bhubaneswar. I have gone for my routine presbyopia and and he for his myopia. He suffered myopia from 4yrs of age. Glasses became thicker and thicker with minus points. I really cried a lot alone without any bodies notice that how he will lead a normal life. Ihave a cute daughter but her eye sight is normal. My son has a really cute face with long beautiful eyes like lord Srikrishna which my friends and my parents often praised. His problem started when he started going to school. He unable to read the black board. I thought he was pretending. but alas no, sky falls on me when doc told me he is suffering from myopia.His power goes up. specs changing. He wanted to join army and became an aeronetic engineer. But his poor eye sight shattered all his dreams. Some of his childhood dreams falling apart.But as a brilliant kid he did his engineering with flying colors.From schools to engineering college classmates and friends called him chasmis, chasbuddin, owl etc. He is a very silent kid so he never reacted but i can see his eyes brimming with tears. My heart broken in to pieces when i saw his handsome face with 6 inch thick glasses. One fine day when he took me for my and his test he suddenly decide to do lasik surgery for correcting his eye problem. He met Dr Srikant sahoo a brilliant young eye surgeon specialized in lasik in LV Prasd. He did all the tests on him and told both of us to come day after tomorrow for surgery. I am instantly shocked and thrilled simultaneously . In early morning i drove my son to hospital . Doc was waiting. He assured me not to worry and wrap his hand around my son and lead him to the operation theater. Doc has a very dynamic personality and a very pleasant persona. I never seen such a nice young doc who behave so well and assured me not to be panic. I pray god and siridi sai baba for my sons successful operation. Within 20 minutes his one eye operated without any pain. He came out with a pair of black glasses and hug me. He opened his glasses and told me mama i can see u in bare eyes. My eyes filled with tears. In naked eyes he can see trees, people moving around and premises of the hospital and some lines of news paper i was holding. Again doc called him for operation of another eye after 2 hours. He given some precautions for him for a week. He also allow him to drive and attend his office after one week. Now he is free from his glasses. He wear his favorite sunglasses which he thought will never use in his life time. But Dr sahoo s Midas touch makes it possible i am really grateful and impressed by him. Docs should learn from him how to behave with patients and their anxious family members. he is so young and talented and almost did 300 successful lasik surgeries. I can call him a messiah in our life. i can see my sons beautiful eyes everyday without a sheet of glass. His kid sister always play pranks on him to hide his glasses but now she selecting beautiful sunglasses for his brother.

Clinical aspects of reiki
reiki is a precise method for connecting the universal energy with the bodies innate power of healing. rediscovered in the mid 1800 by dr mikao usui a Japanese monk educator, reikis origins and found the Tibetan sutras, ancient records of cosmology and philosophy. this hand on healing art a powerful adjunct to conventional therapeutic modalities, fuel of bodies homeostatic mechanisms and there by assist in the restoration of balance on the physical mental ans emotional levels. because the life force energy supports optimal development and fulfillment, reiki promotes the highest healing good for all living things. the biological intelligence that marshals the bodies resources to heal a cut finger, mend a broken bone, help the lungs to breathe, or ease the transition into death is amplified by reiki. thus as a healing modality it fits perfectly into the new paradigm of healing emerging in western medicine, a paradigm that includes mind and body awareness and preventive techniques. over the years reiki masters and grand masters taught reiki to physicians, nurses,psychologists, psychotherapists, occupational therapists,hospice staff,and others. some health care organizations that are begining to investigate complimentary therapies have endrosed reiki as valuable part of the ongoing education for their proffessional staff. the harvard community health plan, the medical center of central massachusetts, cedracret residential center for handicapped children, in new london hospital nh the suthern new hampshire medical center, in a reiki class, health care proffessionals learn a method to augment thier medical skills while also receiving an invaluable tool for attending to their own health maintainance, self renewal and personal growth. the seential vehicle of reiki is touch applied where ever and when ever appropriate. because the practice of reiki does not require complicated techniques, practitioners of many and varied displines are able to incorporate it easily into their specialities. by virtue of the fact that is enhances thier healing skills ans is also rejuventing practice of self care, reiki is necoming an important bridge of communication among a wide range of health care providers. the best way to know that reiki works how ever reiki always scts upen the recipient even when its effects are not immidiately perceptive. results are not always evident during a reiki session for some people the healing shifts occour over time, while for others the changes are immediate and lasting. though inducing the relaxation responce, reiki encourages enhanced integrated functioning of the bodys healing systems. studies show that a deep stateof relaxation acts through the autonomic nervous system to lower blood pressure and heart rate and to releave tension ans anxiety. the state of relaxation also augments the abilities of the immune system to defend against bacteria and viruses, ans it stimulates the brains production of endorphines, natural opiates that act to decrese the perception of pain and create a state of well being. the stimulation of this response through through reiki treatment, copled with the increased ansd unimpeded flow of life force energy through the body, encourages healing at all levels. reiki gives rthe power and control for healing to the receiver, where it rightly belongs.
with reiki there is no body manipulation, only physical touch inspirited by universal life energy. with the rising of conciousness in the west, reiki is growing in popularity, more and more people sre becoming aware of it and are using it. in bostan's massachusettes general hospital sponspered a conference to teiki and other holistic practiotioners to present reiki. healing involves moving toward wholeness. healing gently dissoloves limiting thoughts and moves us toward acceptance of all aspects of ourselves. this is a state of living awareness. in balance and harmony with ourselves and our environment and with the intention of expressing ourselves authentically in all areas of life. in that state of living with awareness we experience humor, vitality, organization, self acceptance, creativity, flexibility, intutive, understanding, and clarity of thought. this optimal wellbeing.when we view the human being as a dynamic energy system we relaize that health is not a static goal. as current reserch suggests that the world we see is more than just matter, and the body is more than just a collection of functioning parts, there uis increased curiosity about subtle energy and the role it plays in healing. quantum physicists are devloping new therories of energy movements of transfermation that chaleenge traditional explanations of the nature of the universe. since energy healing is inexliplicable within the confines of the mechanical model of the universe the working model for the past four centuries, at least we encourage students to be patient with themselves as they try to integrate their experiences of reiki. in working on the energetic plane, as we do with reiki, the shifts and changes that take place for the receiver often happen at a non material level and there fore may be difficult to perceive. neverthless , healing is taking place for the recipient according to the highest priority in the holistic ordering of the universe. . the anecdote demonstrates how reiki can effectively blend with conventional medicine. recovery from such traumatic injury requires deep extensive healing. while the sugeons expertize is essential , the excellent nursing care and the loving attention of family and friends all supports also needed.
Modern physics is niw discovering what the ancients know our bodies are not solid entities but rather are interacting fields of energy are not solid entities but rather are interacting field of energy given to continuous, cre3ative fluctuation . from the smallest subatomic particles to the space beyond the skin to the farthest reaches of the universe, vibratory forces configure ns reconfigure who we sre in ourselves in our relationships and in the world. quantum physics has demonstrated that all sunstances is composed of energy fields, vast expances of space in which particles of matter are created by the temporary intersection of these field of energy. holistic therapies not only expand healing possibilites but also are valuable because they are low in cost and require little or not technology to impliment. a major concern of most health care facilities is the bottom line. adjunct practices such as reiki are an excellent soultion to maintaining high quality care at monimal cost. reiki blends with all therapies because universal life force is unobstrusive.deeply assisive, and never overwhelming. since reiki works beyond the will of the concious mind, it becomes a part of the health care proffessionals full healing capacities. reiki easily joins with and facilities the clients healing process. a physician who combined reiki with his practice of surgery feels patients are less anxious and more calm and relaxed, and they experience less pain and discomfprt postoperatively. in most cases their wounds heal more quickly and uneventfully. most nurses to knows reiki use it in routine patient care. nurses report that condition of patients improves dramatically with reiki.by restoring balance to the energy field , reiki assists the patient in mobilizing her biological healing resources for recuperation. reiki can also reduce the need for pharmacologic intervention with respect to both dosege and frequency of administation.surgeons and nurse anesthestists finds reiki to be in post operative care. the reiki touch helps the anaesthetics to connect quickly with the patient while simulteniously reduce the patients anxiety regarding the impending procedure. reiki is also easily incorporated and effective in sll practices pertaining to child birth. obstetric nurses and midwives find that adding reiki to their proffessional skills allows for more holistic clinical practices. responding to the growing interest in complimentary therapies to suppliment conventional medical interventions, some cutting edge hospitals are beginging to include in their community education programmes courses in tai chi, yoga, reiki, meditation and relaxation techniques. the goal of these self reliance health care programmes is to help people stay healthy by means of self care modalities that encoiurage connecting with life force energy. so they can increase their physical wellbeing and lessen the chances of needing expensive medical service in an emergency situation that could have been averted by personal actions towards wellness.
