Report back on Reiki 2

Hello you lubberly jubberley HP Persons,
What an experience and still on-going! for those of you who have yet to do it, you'll love it and for those of you who already have, you know what I mean:):):);););)
I am still buzzing, be prepared for changes.
First day we (3 of us) started with a meditation that nearly made me fall off my chair and actually made me feel sick:confused: strange stuff indeed (breathing through your feet and drawing energy around your spine oo-er)) as I have done a lot of meditation and never felt like that before still I settled down after that. Lots of discussion and 2 attunements, when I got home I was knacked and fell asleep almost straight away.
Day two and another meditation, but this time all was well and I felt fine after, which was nice. The energy was really building up (you could feel it) and one of my colleagues broke down crying and told us about a horrible thing that had happened in their past and that they felt that they had not dealt with, we offered support and made them feel better. WOW the Reiki will out all things!! 2 more attunements and some practice Reiki and that was it, except that since I feel GREAT relaxed confident in what I am going and altogether more chilled with the world, I hope it carries on !!
One thing though is that I have not yet used one of the symbols, strange eh? I have not doubt that I will and soon, But I am not sure on who or what to practice on, maybe my crystals.
I have also been reading up on the symbols and have found out some conflicting information on some of them, I think I may make it the subject of my next post, in the meanwhile I am still FEELING GREAT!:D:D:D

If you have just done Reiki 2 you will have probably been given three symbols, power, mental/emotional and absent/distant. You can put the power symbol on anything, ur food, ur bath water, a drink, a person. when you are practising absent distant or doing it use a cushion or a teddy bear or your leg using your knee as the intended persons head. You need to begin incorporating your symbols into your treatments and get adjusted to your new attunement ready for progressing to level 3 if you want!!!!

but well done you and i fully understand the emotions you went through, i am still buzzing from a while back and i doubt the buzz will ever stop!

Hello you lubberly jubberley HP Persons,

Congratulations. 🙂

First day we (3 of us) started with a meditation that nearly made me fall off my chair and actually made me feel sick:confused: strange stuff indeed (breathing through your feet and drawing energy around your spine oo-er)) as I have done a lot of meditation and never felt like that before still I settled down after that.

A common thing with meditations is that they are guided or taught by people who have little understanding of the power of meditation, but who are just reciting a written one or repeating one that they were shown.
Consider the microcosmic orbit meditation, where you are focused on the energy flowing around the governing vessel and conceptual vessal meridians (up the spine, over the head, down through the mouth, down the front of the body and down round the base chakra). The meditation should be done by observing the energy flowing around but, perhaps due to the way it gets worded when being guided, many try and make the energy flow around at a noticable speed i.e. "i can feel the energy rising up my back and over my head....". The problem here is that energy flows about our energy system at the speed of light, so by 'following' the energy around at a noticable speed we are 'making' the energy slow down. This can have undesired effects such as the sickness or dizziness you describe, much the same as if any other energy channel or chakra were blocked of not moving freely. The trick to such a meditation is to watch the energy flowing naturally at it's own speed and not to influence it's speed through our own thoughts and intentions. 😉

I have also been reading up on the symbols and have found out some conflicting information on some of them, I think I may make it the subject of my next post, in the meanwhile I am still FEELING GREAT!:D:D:D

Re. the Reiki Symbols. Firstly, check out James Deacon's website: http://www.aetw.org/reiki_symbols.html as he has done good research into this area.
Also look at a book called Reiki and the Healing Buddha by Maureen Kelly as this gives a good insight into the specific elements of each symbol including the relationship to Buddhist beliefs.

There are many versions of the symbols taught depending on the teacher and their lineage, however the symbols do have 'origins', and certainly for the HSZSN and the master symbol (which you have yet to be given) these relate to Japanese Kanji (writing). From research into such Kanji, you can easily tell which symbols are being drawn incorrectly or correctly. However, nomatter how they are drawn, the intention is the most important part of using the symbols.

Hi LiL
Good to hear your experiences!
The best person for you to practice your new symbols on is... of course ... You!

Try using the distance symbol to send Reiki to bad memories. What about sending Reiki to yourself aged 1, 2, etc every day for 21 days.. so on day 1 you send Reiki to yourself aged 1, on day 2 it's yourself aged 2 - you get the drift. And then you can send Reiki to your future self. Amazing!

Every night when I finish my Hatsurei-ho I use the distance symbol to send Reiki to my day tomorrow. I send it to the journey, to wherever I'm supposed to be and whatever I'm supposed to be doing, and to the people I'll be meeting. Since I started doing that, things have gone wrong less often (if you see what I mean!).

How's that for starters?

Thanks for your replies Reiki _Yorks, Giles and Chris,
Very much appreciated there are some great suggestions like: Reiki your bath!and sending Reiki to yourself in the past to heal bad memories, I will certinly give both a go and Giles I make you right about the energy, I was visulizing it going around my spine at a speed that I see.

Thanks Guys

... and Giles I make you right about the energy, I was visulizing it going around my spine at a speed that I see.

*nod* that'll likely be the cause then. 😉

Imagine you are standing at the side of a motorway with many cars speeding past. You would soon wear yourself out if you tried to track every car within your visible range. Far better to just 'observe' the passing of cars and let your unconscious recognise the flow.
