Hello Firekeeper
Your cat sounds to be very wise (eheheh)
I have been mulling over in my mind recently the intent and mindfullness side of things .
Personally I have come to the conclussion that the reiki principles explain the mindfullness side perfectly.
The main problem here in the west is understanding ( or trying to) an eastern concept.
In the past I have read a few books on buddism.
The ones writtain by people from India etc, have for me, been a bit difficult to fully undersatnd, but when I found a book written by a western Lama, everything became a lot clearer.
Intent is an harder one, but also a lot easier at the same time and is something that I don't remember being covered well in any thing Reiki, that I have read (apart from on this website).
Any healing (of any form) will be more effective if all parties involved in the healing , have their intent set on the healing being effective. You can't help heal someone who dosn't want or desire (the healing process starting within the person concerned).
It does strike me that together we who, contribute to this website, can probally write a better book that this one.
Providing we could put our ego's to one side long enpugh to totally agree with each other (eheheheh)
Namaste
Rob
