Could I help my father with Reiki?

[Kiran]

Hello there!


I have never practiced Reiki myself, but received some time ago from a friend who now is onto grade 2. He explained me like it is very easy and all you need to do is imagine this great white light and let it pass on through your body to your hands and onto the person who should receive it. So, I would like to know if I could do Reiki as well, for helping my father.

For many, many years now, my father has always had some health issue. He spends more time in several hospitals than at home. He has had his heart stopping to beat (now has a pacemaker), and about two and a half years ago he had a bad accident with a motor saw - he cut into his left ankle and almost lost his foot. He now has an electronic device in his body which sends electric waves to his foot to keep the nerves working well.

But now, he is starting to have lung problems. He is not getting enough air to breathe, or at least that's how he describes it. He has had a "shock lung" and was lucky to survive.


He is very depressive and personally I believe his heart and lung problems have their roots in his psyche. He is afraid to feel joy, negating all good things in his life, feeling sad. It doesn't help much that mother and my brothers think he is just lazy and a hypochonder.

He seems to enjoy my company a lot, and I've thought about how to help him with Reiki (he always likes it very much when I massage his foot, for example) and I just want to know if I could help his current lung problem and lighten his depression, using Reiki.

Please explain me if I could, and how.


Thank you, hugs and kisses,
Kiran
