New Zealand cyclist Hayden Roulston wins the silver medal for the Olympic men's 4000m individual pursuit. In a pre-win interview (video interview) he recognized Reiki as the reason he was able to recover from a serious heart condition in 2006. In response to the interviewer's question How did you fix something the medical fraternity said was life threatening? Roulston's response was:
Through Reiki actually. It's Japanese healing technique. It's a hands-on treatment which transfers energy from one person to another. There was once upon a time I use to focus on just the mental and the physical, now it's the emotional and the spiritual, four very different components that's going to win the gold medal. If I walk away with the gold medal knowing I performed to my utmost best I”ll be happy, but if I walk away with silver or bronze or fourth the better man won on the day...News Reports
