Tag Archive: Stammer



Couple of weeks back, Male aged 30-35 years approached me to treat his stammer. He was a salaried professional and everyday was a struggle for him. He had to do multiple concalls within team, with clients and stammering just made it very difficult for him. It would make him less confident than he usually is.

Generally we prefer to hear an audio or speak with the person to assess the intensity of his/her trouble.

After Chakra examination and an approximate 30 minutes of case taking, I concluded that his recovery will be 50% faster than other patients. He had no family history of stammer. His stammer was completely situational and It would trigger in certain situations only, which makes him uncomfortable or anxious.

Stammer in some people is chronic, intense and continuous and in others, it is only situational.

It was decided that there would be a series of 15 sessions for 30 to 40 minutes each. During that time, he was asked to relax mentally as well as physically. No activity whatsoever. Mobile use was permitted to only listen to slow music of his choice.

I decided to treat his Third eye, Heart, Root Chakra along with his Throat Chakra. His other 3 Chakras needed more attention than Throat Chakra. Third eye Chakra is a confidence booster and it helps in relieving fear. Heart Chakra relieves stress and Root Chakra makes us more grounded and confident.

After 7-8 sessions only, he shared that his confidence level has improved. After 15th session, he confided that Reiki treatment has shown major improvement in his daily work life, and now he is less restless, less anxious and more confident in dealing with clients and his team.

[Please note: Since, in this case, Stammering is only the issue so there is nothing to share about symptoms before treatment and after treatment, as I have done in earlier articles. Also many people hesitate to speak directly to us or even in sending an audio clip, so we do not insist unless and until the patient is comfortable in doing so. ]

What is Stammer and what are its causes ? Stammer or Stutter is not the disease itself but the condition or the symptom caused by  a disease / disorder. Causes for stammer and its intensity are individualistic.

Causes can be purely genetic, psychological or due to some sort of brain injury. Associated conditions with stammer that I have come across in my practice are depression, anxiety, lack of self confidence, frustration or so on….

Social issues they often have to deal with include humiliation, ignorance, bullying at workplace and school and much more. Family and care giver role is of significant importance in maintaining one’s self confidence and self esteem.

I have listed few suggestions for family and care givers as below:

  1. Stammer doesn’t mean that they have nothing to say. They have right to express themselves and speak in their own words. So, do not be hasty and take some time to listen to them.
  2. Don’t try to complete their sentences by yourself. Don’t burden them by your interpretations like.. “I understand. Do you mean to say that………!”. You might feel that this might be helping them out but in fact you take away their chance of speaking out on their own.
  3. Stay with them whenever and wherever they need you and provide adequate emotional support to them.
  4. There are number of therapies which are complimentary with Reiki in this condition,
    1. Martial-arts therapy : Use of Vocal chord is enhanced when someone practices skills of Martial arts.
    2. Auto-suggestion therapy : Type of meditation, where one is taught to give commands/ directions to himself.
    3. Homoeopathic medicine
    4. Animal assistant therapy : keeping parrots and encouraging your child to repeat its word can also be helpful.
  5. Try to find alternate words for words that are difficult enough to pronounce. For example, if someone has concerns for spelling letter “X” in word Box, try using word Carton and demonstrate its size/shape.

Childhood Stammering


Hi folks, For Underage children (2-5), one of the authors has recommended a very novel idea which is greatly appreciated by me and i feel would surely be appreciated by you.

Check out this link :

But This would be applicable to children only when the problem is acute, but when it becomes Chronic, you know, Reiki is your answer. 🙂


Symptoms of the Patient before Treatment:
1)   Defiant, Stubborn, uncooperative, unresponsive, disobedient,
2) Very reserve in nature,
3) Lack of self confidence,
4) Short tempered, Angry,
5) Physically weak and was having a stammered speech.

During Sessions and Post Reiki Therapy:
1)   There was dramatic improvement in Speech and Personality.
2) He is now a talkative, cooperative, and a responsive person.
3) Stubbornness has decreased a lot. Acceptance has Increased.
4) He became a lot obedient and,
5) Family has seen a Remarkable improvement in his self confidence.

DETAILS:


My patient was a 19 years old male, who suffered from Stammering. His stammer was so severe that he did not utter even a single word during his first pre-reiki consultation visit. According to his parents he started to stammer suddenly at the age of 11. They started consulting many doctors & had done all possible diagnostic tests, but to no avail. Concern was that no cause was being detected for the problem at hand.


During his last 8 years, parents had consulted numerous speech therapists, homoeopaths, and considered ayurvedic treatment too, but there was no significant improvement. Due to stammering, he used to feel much embarrassed and had gradually left the studies just for the cause of avoiding talks with other classmates. Moreover he never picked up the phone so as to avoid general conversations; he used to have very limited conversations with his parents itself. His social and education life was at a standstill. His parents were very stressed and had lost hope for their child’s recovery.


During his Chakras examination, I found disturbances in his Crown, Third Eye, Heart and Throat Chakras, in the same succession. In most cases, first chakra to consider is the Crown chakra, as brain has the power to control all our bodily functions. Next comes Third Eye Chakra, as it controls our thought processes and emotions. Third eye chakra is mostly complemented with Heart Chakra and as the patient faced Stammering, Throat chakra was the one to be focused on, as it regulates speech and communication. Basis this I decided to give him Reiki session of about 45 minutes daily. After just 4 to 5 sessions, his parents saw a remarkable improvement in him. As session’s occurred, gradually there was a great change in his personality; he became expressive. He became talkative enough and began regaining his self confidence. Right now he has evolved to a much responsible, co operative, well considerate, mature & understanding member of the family. His stubbornness has reduced to a great extent. He has proved his mettle and is now capable of running his father’s own business alone. This is one of the most miraculous cure by reiki and also one of my best experiences as a therapist. Reiki surely has the power to make one regain his lost personality, self esteem and make him believe his worth living for.
