Unexpected Reiki - New member, please explain.

Hi Slyjoe

Welcome to the forum. 🙂

The first thing that you need to establish, is did you sister in law give you a Reiki attunement or not during your healing session? Ask her for a yes or no answer. 😉

If yes, then you are connected to the Reiki healing modality and can learn to make use of it.

If no, then you are not doing Reiki, you are simply creating a healing flow when you think of healing.

Healing is not spooky witchery it is something that we can learn to do, like washing the pots or driving a car. 🙂

In order to answer your questions, it will be helpful to know:
What do you think you want to do with it?
What is your intuition saying to you about it?

I echo Paul's questions.

Every person has the ability to heal, it is the source of the energy which is the difference.

I have always been able to send healing energy to those who needed it, however before my attunement to Reiki, I was left tired as I was sending my own energy.

Since my Reiki attunement when I send healing to someone I receive some of the Reiki while I channel it and it fills me with energy and I am bouncing round very happy, positive and full of vitality.

If you would like to continue on a Reiki path, find a Reiki Master who you would be happy to work. And of course ask questions on here. 🙂

Love & Light

Hi Slyjoe
First see that it arrived on its own accord. It is nothing to do with the Reiki you had 5 years ago. Leave it nameless for that is much better than jump in with what everyone else is doing.
It has just come on you, what else it has come to do, will happen too. you want to know if it is a party trick. Yes, or no either way its going to do what it has come to do, regardless of you. Mind just wants to own it label it and sit on it. Trivializing the whole thing. It is not about you. It is about you getting out of the way...Just see that it really has nothing to do with you, you couldn't bring it on, trigger it etc so why do you think its use is anything to do with you? It has happened in non-doing and if it keeps happening in that there will be tremendous beauty to it. Just slip out of the way.

whether long term or short term...It could well be a carrot on a stick...to allure you into something bigger than just energy thingy.
Being patient with such things have their own rewards as the bigger plan reveals itself slowly and patiently. But we are in such a rush to develop, hone, make it our own, or make it better, start dispensing it for greater good etc etc

Most people notice some energy/psychic thing and then jump in to develop it or enhance it or make the best use of it or how it can be used to its best potential. The fact that it came un- invited, it knows what it has come to do, even if you don't at this precise moment in time. Stay, rest and relax trusting the flow of life. It will urge you to move, if it needs to...until then stay put and do nothing. Relax. In that dettached state much more happens than in a pro active rushing about to doo something about it.
just my tuppence...

Hi all thanks for your comments.

@jnani I think you're correct, it's come to me for some reason..... I don't know what yet.
My wife had breast cancer a couple of years ago, all is fine now, 3 years into 5 of hormone therapy, but still causing lots of aches and pains. Hopefully something I can do will help.

@Paul - The sister-in-law didn't give me attunement, however I think from that time on I've had something going on......

@meadowsweet - I've felt quite drained since the "heat" came from me, I guess it was just me doing it and not "everything and everyone"... I don't really know.

How do I get the attunement? How do I know that someones not going to take me for a hundred quid that I dont have to give me something that I cant measure ( the engineer in me again)

I live in Brackley in Northants and would like to investigate and develop this further, however the cynical part of me and Google can only turn up people wanting my cash. 🙁

Again, I would like to ask for any suggested reading, or youtubes videos or that kind of thing that may help me into finding out whats going on.

Love an Light is a great way to sign off, however I'm not entirely sure what it means yet.

PS - I'm back with my Chiro tomorrow night, I'll post any experiences here.

Hi Slyjoe

Paul - The sister-in-law didn't give me attunement, however I think from that time on I've had something going on......

The reason that I asked was to clarify whether you had received the Reiki attunement, as you can't use Reiki without receiving the attunement from someone who already has the connection.

But that is not a problem for the healing that you received effectively awoke something within you that has triggered a response. 🙂

As you can already create a healing flow, then you do not require an attunement to help you to achieve that goal, what you do need is to learn how to control it so that it does what it is supposed to do, in a manner that does not drain you.

We all create life force energy all of the time so that we can exist here. In order to utilise the life force energy that we create to maintain self to heal others, then we need to learn heal self first, so that we have a full complement of flows to work with.

If we are attempting to heal others, whilst we have lots of inner conflicts going on, then we are not creating the right type of life force energy that is required to do what you are attempting to do, so you will be utilising nearly all of the correct life force energy that you are creating to maintain the balance within self to heal others, the rest of the life force energy that you are creating to maintain the inner disharmony is what you are left to work with for self.

That is why you feel drained. Until you replenish your matrix of consciousness with the type of energy you have used upon others, you need to balance the different life force energy within you by self healing until all of your life force generators are creating the right type of energy to heal with, then you have an abundance of life force healing energy available and can heal all day long without creating any problems for self. 🙂

Apart from that, you do need to disconnect yourself from the person that you are healing (just state your intention to disconnect the healing flow when you have finished healing and it will happen), otherwise they can continue to receive your life force energy and be bouncing off the walls, whist you feel like you are running on empty. 😉

As for paying someone to teach you how to heal (which is a different thing to receiving an attunement), do you not receive payment for your expertise as an engineer, why do you not consider other people's expertise worthy of payment?

Fair comment, well made!

I was a complete skeptic too, and remember seeing programmes on tv showing "psychic healing", "crystal dowsing" and suchlike and me calling it a load of rubbish (that view hasn't necessarily changed when I see some people doing these things ;)).

However, I was led to learn Reiki through something I couldn't explain, no matter how much I pulled on my scientific knowledge and logical thinking at that time (and I'm a software engineer in my day job, so logic is my business). I took myself off to see a Reiki Master who I had contacted to ask about learning Reiki, and she gave me a Reiki treatment and some of her time to sit and answer my questions, and also to ask me why I wanted to learn Reiki etc. The treatement was like nothing I'd experienced before, and I wanted to know more.

So, I decide to learn Reiki. I figured, the worst that would happen would be that I'd come away from it with a little less money and thinking it was a load of rubbish, but I wanted to satiate my need to understand.

Circumstances led me to suddenly be able to take a Reiki course with a Reiki Master (not the same one I had initially talked to, but she didn't seem the right one by my intuition anyway), and I took a weekend workshop, getting attuned to Reiki along with 3 other students, and spending that time questioning things and practicing it on each other.

Whilst I came away, still with lots of questions and trying to understand it, there was definitely some "experience" that was happening, and so my Reiki journey had begun. I continued to study and practice Reiki, and also to keep enhancing my understanding of the scientific side of things (and yes, I do read a lot about quantum electrodynamics and quantum theory etc. and not just from "new age" authors, but also from scientific authorities like Richard P Feynman and the like). Also I've done other courses in various aspects, including philosophical thinking etc.

Over the years, my understanding has increased and I know within myself, even if I couldn't put it down in some mathematical formula, that there is an inherent connection between science and many of these complementary therapies and some spiritual understandings (and I say 'spiritual' in the non-religious sense as I consider myself an atheist). In some cases, I can see that each 'side' is often talking about the same thing, just in different terminology, yet science likes to disrespect complementary therapies, and visa versa.

Was it worth the risk of losing a little money to further my understanding... Oh yes!

Love an Light is a great way to sign off, however I'm not entirely sure what it means yet.

Typically it's referring to unconditional love... and the light is referring to the energy that makes everything in the universe. It's just a way of simply respecting others regardless of who they are or what they believe. 🙂

All Love and Reiki Hugs (I'll leave that one for you to ponder... 😀 )

Thanks enrgylz - very interesting post, from a sceptical engineer point of view.

I have just got back from the chiro, again with this ability to project heat from my hands, gives me the heebee jeebies a bit. The wife and kids can all feel it, and recoil a bit in disbelief.

I guess what I really need to do is clear my life out a bit, and concentrate on what I want from this, and maybe find me a weekend and some cash to pursue this further.

I dont want to make a living out of it (not just yet anyway) but I do think I need a bit more peace and calm in my life.

So how do I now go about finding a teacher thats accredited in some way, where do i find testimonials and that type of thing.

This is all very new to me, and I don't want to end up disappointed.

Many thanks for all the comments so far.

Hi Slyjoe

The heat is a physiological response to the healing flow that you are creating, the healing flow is neither hot or cold it is just a healing flow. 🙂

Sort of, it is not what you want out of this, for the reality is this is more to do with what you want from self, this is not separate from you, this is something which you have chosen to do and are doing it through making a conscious choice to do it.

You are quite right about not rushing into anything and doing some research into healing and what is available to you before you decide if it is right for you to learn to heal using an existing modality, (which will give you someone else's framework to work with), or to spend time healing self, or as you put it, sorting out your internal clutter, so that you can make further choices.

There are a few different modalities around that you could choose to work with. They mainly fall into two camps, there are those which you have to learn to work with in an active way, by that I mean that you have to choose how to apply the modality to suit the individual requirements of the recipient, or the alternative is to learn one of the modalities in which you only have to decide to heal someone, then the modality is preprogrammed to do it's thing, you are basically given a set of instructions which you follow.

As an alternative, since you can already create a healing flow at will, you can choose to learn to heal in your own unique way by applying the healing flow which you can create at will to self (just place the palms of your hands somewhere upon your body and think of healing) and spending quiet time self healing. This will help you to focus inward so that you can develop yourself to the point that you can utilise the personal understanding which you will have gained within your own healing journey of personal discovery, to help others to become whole if they wish to.

Healing is all about sharing the fullness of self to create inner balance and wholeness in place of inner disharmony, division and conflict which is creating their pain and suffering. In order to do that, you need to be able to create and maintain inner balance and wholeness within yourself, for you basically share whatever you are at the moment the healing flow is created.

You might want to have a look at other options?

Have a look a Quantum Touch. I can't believe how many people struggle with energy work. Funny how they're all from a Reiki background. You don't have to be attuned to channel energy. You just learn to be open, operate from the place of love within and be the love you project towards others. No need to worry about entities, spirit guides, symbols or projecting other negitive energies etc.

I'm sure Reiki may have been a beautiful gift in it's pure form before it became *******ised the way it has by westerners.

You can learn QT from the books. I could do it before I did the course.

Love and Light

Kevin

that's not a swear word!! 😉

I think this is your calling to get your Reiki 1 and start going to Reiki shares. I think Reiki finds us 🙂

Kevin, Reiki, properly practised, is not like that. My own experiences with Reiki and Reiki healers have been excellent, and Reiki like I was taught it does far more than I first thought. Many excellent Reiki healers never use symbols, spirit guides, etc. Reiki is just Reiki. Anyway, just my 2-p-worth 🙂
