The comments below are from participants who received twelve, one-hour weekly sessions from Kiley in a research study conducted by Emory University: ‘Wellness Interventions, Spiritual Healing, and Quality of Life In Parkinson’s Disease’:
“On all occasions after each treatment, the tremors of my left hand and foot would stop from 2- 5 days routinely. I find that I can now focus on the extremity and control the tremor for some time when I feel energetic which is often – thank goodness.”
“I experienced both psychological and physical relief from participating in the study. I had two ‘out of body’ experiences – both authentic experiences – not hallucinations. I was able to feel and visualize my spirit ascending above me while on the table – very, very powerful, absolute connection between mind/body and with the “One”. I experienced a ‘freeing up’ of my left side and my left side has improved. Note: my left side most imparted by Parkinson’s.”
“Prayer sessions and spiritual interventions restored faith in my self and strengthened my belief in a Supreme Being or Creator of all. The ‘hands-on’ healing provided peace of mind and lasting affects (to this day) of Parkinson’s symptoms, specifically, tiredness, muscle pains, reduced tremors and strength through concentration skills. The healing sessions were also very helpful in dealing with pain associated with a motorcycle accident a week before.”
“In one session I had a very powerful vivid image of a rock. There was a strong feeling that the rock was full of rage. This led to a later experience of rage which was more intense and visceral than anything I had ever experienced. It lasted two days and when it was over, I was much better physically. Since then I’ve regressed a bit, but I believe this experience enabled me to let go of some significant anger that I had been holding in my unconscious.”
“I was astonished at Kiley’s ability to stop my tremors and help me totally relax…The spiritual counseling was extremely beneficial in terms of understanding life forces and of accepting changes necessary because of my PD…. I was able to reach out to my estranged brother, and we are re-kindling our caring for each other after many years of separation.”
“I now accept PD and can admit it isn’t wonderful and then move on, rather than pretend that it’s not a big deal and suppress my feelings. I know now that before I can accept God into my life I must be honest to myself first and getting over this PD hurdle was key to going spiritually. The whole experience has made a major impact on my life. I am shocked at the change in my level of confidence and my attitude.”
“The program was most interesting in how relaxed I became. It made my entire body relax and free of pain.”
