Reiki I

[percival]

So, I have been attuned now.



... to Reiki. I used to think that Reiki was total nonsense, but I'm not so sure now.

For the more scientifically minded, you can regard it as a powerful autosuggestion method with which you calm your mind and soul.

The idea is to imagine that you are linked to the Source (for some people, God), and channel that energy of love to work for the highest and greatest good of all concerned. The attunement opens you for that energy very efficiently.

I realise that this might appear sacrilegious to some, but in my book, everybody is meant to be a channel for God's love, so this is not as strange as it might seem.

The outcomes of Reiki healing are very ill-defined and as such not amenable to scientific study. Because you are inviting the Higher Being to work through you, you cannot direct where the healing force goes, or on which level (mental, emotional, spiritual, physical) it works.

The next steps on the path are:
- to heal myself with 30 minute rituals and 15 minute meditations (daily! wonder whether I'll manage)
- to arrange sessions with four people to give them an hour of undivided love and attention, channelling that for which I've been opened

I see the self-healing as a very, very powerful autosuggestion, while treating others induces a deep trance which can then be used to let the body bring about healing.

(Reiki energy is supposed to manifest as heat. Did I feel it? Yes, but it could be autosuggestion. Did I feel something during the treatments I gave and received? Yes, of course. But again, that could be my mind telling me where I wanted / needed healing.)
