Real Stories: How Usui Reiki Students Experienced Abundance and Change
7 Real Stories · Common Points Analysis · I Ching Interpretation
“Abundance” means more than money. In Soul Love Center students' accounts, changes appear in finances, family relationships, working environments, housing and inner peace. This article brings together 7 real stories, including Cathy Wong's own experience, and explores what they have in common.
Each case is clearly marked with the source and quotes directly from the student or teacher; we only add categories, subheadings, and analysis, without adding any fictional narratives.
⚠️ Reading notice: all cases describe personal experiences. Results vary and do not represent or guarantee any financial, health or other outcome. Changes in life are influenced by many factors, including personal effort, work and economic conditions, and should not be attributed solely to Reiki. To comply with Hong Kong's Undesirable Medical Advertisements Ordinance (Cap. 231), material concerning treatment outcomes for illnesses has been omitted; gambling-related content has also been removed.

Case 1 · Finance
Case One: From Debts of Several Hundred Thousand Dollars to an Improving Life
Source: Cathy's account in “Reiki: Real Stories of Creating Abundance”
Starting point
This student faced debts of several hundred thousand dollars when joining the course.
Process
Cathy specifically pointed out that the student 'practiced and transformed daily after completing the course'.
Changes described in the account
Two years later, she told me that her life was becoming increasingly beautiful and her money was becoming more abundant.
—As recounted by Cathy Wong
Analysis
The key terms in this case are 'daily' and 'two years': transformation comes from long-term, continuous practice, rather than a single class. For a complete sharing, see Reiki and Abundance: Real-Life Experiences 。
Case 2 · Family & Finance
Case Two: Change After Understanding Her Parents
Source: Student Story 2 (quoted from the original; details relating to health conditions have been abridged in accordance with the law)
Starting Point: Unresolved Childhood Feelings
“My relationship with my parents was not close during childhood, and when I was young I did not understand their hardships. Those feelings of sadness and resentment were deeply rooted in my subconscious.”
“Financially, I once carried debts of several hundred thousand dollars.”
Process: Understanding and Forgiving Parents from a Broader Perspective
After Reiki, I began to transform blocked energy and viewed my parents with a higher perspective. When I truly understood them, the family karmic burden was dissolved.
Changes described in the account
Now, my relationship with my parents is harmonious and filled with love. Additionally, I have received more attention in my work, my salary has increased, and my money flows more smoothly.
I believe that hard work and effort will always have a reward. If there is no time, it is just an excuse; giving up is not a choice.
Analysis
This student traces her financial changes back to understanding her parents. The relationship between family and abundance is explored further in Soul Love Center's Advanced course topic, “Reiki Family Constellations: The I Ching Philosophy”. See I Ching, Family Constellations and Reiki: Three Approaches to Deeper Healing She also emphasized 'hard work and effort', reminding us that transformation requires actual effort.
Case 3 · Money, Work & Mind
Case 3: Changes in money, work, and the mind
Source: Student sharing 1 (original text quoted)
Three Reminders from a Student
Before sharing Reiki, please remember the following points: Respect and care for parents, making them happy and not worrying them. Consistent practice of Reiki: When using Reiki, please make sure to practice consistently. Responsibility: Everyone needs to take responsibility for their thoughts, words, and actions. We should self-reflect, honestly admit past mistakes, and strive to correct ourselves.
Changes in Money Matters
At first, I didn't lack money, but I often felt that I was earning too little. Since starting to use Reiki for transformation, I have unexpectedly had additional income sources: from the company (the boss invited me), gifts from friends, meals, and extra pocket money from my parents.
Changes at Work
「Four years ago, I joined a new company and felt disgusted with everything... After using Reiki and achieving my wishes, my former colleagues gradually left, and the new manager showed care towards me. During this time, my work environment became more friendly and the colleagues became more cooperative.」
Spiritual Growth
「Reiki is like an emotional stabilizer, which can calm any negative emotions such as sadness, worry, and anger within a short time (5-10 minutes)... Before the demonstration, I use Reiki to help myself calm my tense emotions and enhance my confidence.」
Analysis
This student's changes around money mainly concern kindness between people and an inner sense of abundance, rather than large earnings. She places respecting parents, consistent practice and responsibility at the beginning of her account, showing that she sees cultivation of the mind as the foundation. For emotional self-care methods, see Can Reiki help with insomnia, anxiety, and emotions? 。
Case 4 · Home
Case Four: Selecting a Flat on the First Home Ownership Scheme Application
Source: student account, quoted verbatim from the original
“I wrote this in June 2022, and in January 2023 I was notified that I could select a flat. PS: this was my first Home Ownership Scheme ballot application.”
“I only started saving when I applied for the ballot, and at first I worried I would not save enough for the deposit. In the end, there was only one flat left on the day, so there was no choice to make. Its feng shui also suited my husband's preferences. The deposit was lower, and we had more than enough to pay it 😆”
Analysis
The student “started saving first” when applying, taking practical steps to prepare financially. Home Ownership Scheme ballot results depend on many objective factors; her account reflects her personal experience and feelings.
Case 5 · Property
Case Five: A Flat Let in One Day After Two Years Without a Tenant
Source: student account, quoted verbatim from the original
“I wanted to share this: in the last class I mentioned that my flat had been on the market for two years without finding a tenant. The day after class, I followed Cathy's suggestion and drew the ‘big sandwich’ in the living room and bedroom. Yesterday, someone viewed it at around eleven. At first they said the rent was too high, but I held firm and did not reduce it. A little over an hour later, they said they wanted to rent it and hurried me along to sign the tenancy agreement. It was let in less than a day—really amazing ☺️”
Analysis
The student put the instructor's advice into practice on the day of the class and held firm on her rental price during negotiations. The account highlights immediate action and confidence in oneself.
Case 6 · Career
Case Six: Praying for a Job She Liked
Source: Student sharing (original text quoted, content related to gambling has been removed)
「I am grateful to the universe for my wishes coming true, I have a job I like, good people and events, attractive pay, and I can have work-life balance…」
“The words above were from my prayer letter… The interesting thing is that where there are many people, there is also plenty of gossip and conflict. I know about it and hear and see it, yet I seem to have a protective net. Even with people known to be difficult, working together seems to go smoothly.”
「The seven-star array prayer related to work has 90% success 😆」
Analysis
The student wrote a prayer letter setting out specific wishes for work: a job she enjoyed, good people and experiences, attractive pay and work-life balance. Writing wishes clearly has some similarities with psychological goal-setting approaches. See How Can Reiki Support Abundance and Prosperity? Mindset and Practice . For an explanation of the seven-star grid, see Reiki practice accessories and the seven-star array guide 。
Case 7 · The Teacher
Case 7: The transformation of Cathy from adversity to prosperity
Source: Cathy Wong's self-explanation in 'Reiki: Creating Abundance' and 'Teacher Introduction'
“Having been through it myself, I too once hit rock bottom, facing difficulties with money, work, family and housing. Life reached a low point. I am grateful that, with Reiki's help, I experienced a turn from adversity to better circumstances within two years, with everything taking shape again from zero.”
“The Buddha taught that life is impermanent. When facing difficulties, do not give up lightly. The key is learning to transform the root of the problem… The first step in spiritual practice is to recognise the problem’s true nature.”
Analysis
Cathy's supplement in 'Teacher Introduction' states that she has encountered hypnosis, family constellations, and most Western holistic wellness courses, and finally found direction in Reiki, I Ching, and Buddhist wisdom. She emphasizes 'recognizing the essence of the problem' and 'not giving up easily'. The complete story is available in Cathy Wong: The Healing Journey of an IARP-Registered Reiki Master Teacher 。
Patterns
Five Features Shared by the Cases
| Common points | Appears in | Original words |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous practice | Cases One and Three | 「Daily practice and transformation, please be sure to practice continuously」 |
| Understanding and caring for parents | Cases Two and Three | 「Understanding and forgiving parents with a higher perspective, and respecting parents」 |
| Take responsibility for oneself | Cases Three and Seven | 「Taking responsibility for one's thoughts, words, and actions, and recognizing the essence of the problem」 |
| Practical action | Cases Two, Four and Five | 「Striving and putting in effort, starting to save money, and practicing immediately after class」 |
| Do not give up | Cases Two and Seven | “Giving up is never an option for me”; “Do not give up easily.” |
Connections with the Five Usui Reiki Principles
These five common features echo the Five Principles left by Mikao Usui: just for today, do not be angry, do not worry, be grateful, work diligently and be kind to others. Consistent practice and practical action correspond to working diligently; caring for parents corresponds to kindness; and the gratitude expressed throughout students' accounts is the principle of being grateful. For the history of the Five Principles, read What Is Usui Reiki? A Complete Introduction to Mikao Usui and Reiki 。
I Ching
An I Ching Perspective: Heng, Yi and Tai
The Constant Hexagram: Holding steady
The Judgement commentary on Heng (Duration, hexagram 32) says, “Duration means enduring ... the way of heaven and earth endures without ceasing.” The references to “every day” and “two years” in Case 1 illustrate this persistence.
The Yi Hexagram: Giving Allows Abundance to Flow
The Commentary on the Judgment for Yi, Hexagram 42, says, “Decreasing what is above and increasing what is below, the people rejoice without limit.” Much of what the student in Case Three received came from the kindness of her employer, friends and parents. When people are willing to give and receive kindness, abundance flows between them.
Tai and Pi: Adversity Gives Way to Better Circumstances
Tai (Peace, hexagram 11) and Pi (Standstill, hexagram 12) are closely related. The Sequence of the Hexagrams says, “Things cannot remain at a standstill forever, so Fellowship follows.” Stagnation does not last forever; Cathy describes the transformation in Case 7 as adversity giving way to prosperity.

Read Wisely
Reading Abundance Stories Critically
- Personal experience: each account represents a student's own feelings and interpretation and cannot be generalised to everyone.
- Multiple factors: housing lottery, rental market, company personnel changes, etc., are influenced by many objective factors, and should not be attributed solely to Reiki.
- Only those who share are seen: those who are willing to share usually have positive experiences, but this does not mean that every student has the same experience.
- No guarantees: any Reiki course or treatment cannot guarantee financial or other specific results.
- Professional assistance: financial or debt issues, please seek the opinion of qualified professionals; health issues, please consult registered doctors.
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) in the United States states that Reiki has not been clearly proven effective for any health purpose, but also has not been found to have harmful effects.
