Starlight,
Thanks for your thoughtful response. I prefer deferring the responsibility of the actual healing stuff to the person I am channeling for and the wisdom of their guides. I have complete faith in the Benevolent power of Reiki and am honored to be chosen as a conduit for that power.
You do raise another important issue though. It is so important to separate the ego-intent from the spirit-intent to be of service. I think that it is a hallmark of a person in a healing profession that we care that the recipient of the energy benefit from it. That is vastly different from the desire to control the outcome.
Thanks for your insight.
Sara
