Ok without the higher self being involved, it then comes down to thinking that I know best. If I make the descicion to send am I removing myself from that desicision or am I acting on a personal opinion. Is my personal opinion as to if someone requires healing not based on my Ego telling me that they do need healing. If my ego enters the equation, does personal want and therefore personal energy also enter into it.
Now if that person in my opinion does need healing, but they don't think they do. Whos opinion shold be respected?
Ok if I come from ego, I will say mine is the only opinion, the person who is recieving has no say in it.

The cop out is that if they don't want it then they can reject it. It dosn't always happen mate, trust me.

Ok another example. You are working on a project at work. You know exactly what needs to be done and you are working towards getting that project finished. The project is one that is important to you.
Now if someone, without your knowledge come along and changes everything, because they think they know best thus throwing all of your plans out of the window and causing you a lot more work to get your project back on track, then what would your feeling be about the person who did that?

Now look at your life as that project.


the way it is generally taught to send Reiki is to get to permission. It is said that if you can't ask directly, that you ask your higher self to ask their higher self if they want it. That way you are meant to take self out of the descision, that is why I used the higher self example.
Namaste
