Firekeeper, I'm not clear on how this is done. Are you seeking people to physically come to your home for this? Or is this done by distance? I'd sign up, but you are quite a distance from me!
Namaste,
Starlight

Firekeeper,

Namaste...

Thank you for the opportunity to "assist in the lab".

:-)

I'm sorry to say, I was not exactly "mindful" as I was having a tango with the flu along with the cubs... so I cannot share any "feedback". :-(

Perhaps another go?

In Light and Love,

May you be blessed with the wisdom you seek...

Mammabear

Mammabear,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

honored you would sit circle with us

- hope you and the cubs are feeling better

- as for feedback??

- sometimes the feedback comes weeks or months later -

- and that is Ok

>:-}}

- the next group is 27 Feb - a couple of spots still open if yo want one

- just let me know to confirm

- as for my feedback?? the group format so far seem sto preclude individual feedback as was possible with the one-on-one K-K practices

- but perhaps in the future I will develop and be able to syphon out some individual feedback from the group practice

>:-}}

- I did smell and taste cigarette smoke afterwards, so I was wondering who is trying to quit

Firekeeper,

Namaste...

We are all doing much better,thank you for your concern.

:-)

And yes, please add me to Feb. 27. I would love to sit in again.

Your experience is intriguing... and I have no doubt you will "develop" as you "practice, practice, practice".

:-)

As for the cigarettes? Not me... never touched the stuff, though this issue has been on my mind a bit in regards to Papabear. I will be very curious to see if anyone else responds on that matter.

:-)

Take blessed care, dear man.

May your day be filled with the joy of being just who you are...

In Light and Love,

Mammabear

Namaste Dear Firekeeper...

Thanks again for allowing me to participate in your ongoing K-K development.

As for your query regarding cigarettes, I do not smoke, although hubby does. I have long wanted him to try to quit, but he has no interest in giving it up. The house is now smoke free, as for the past year, he has been banished to outdoor enjoyment of his habit. ;-)

So, I do not think this was from this Texas guinea pig.

((HUGS)) & Blessings........zz

Zizzr,

Namaste...

Papa has also exiled himself... ever since the cubs were born. So considerate of him.

Perhaps Firekeeper was picking up on all our "wishful thinking"... (hehehe)

:-)))))

Have a fun and blessed day!

In Light and Love,

Mammabear

My Dearest MammaBear,

/*\ Namsate :-}}

- your spot is reserved.

>:-}}

- yes, I am waiting to hear if there is anything more about the cigarette smoke thing

- I don't smoke either

- you and the cubs and PapaBear take care,

- see you on Feb 27th

- I am honored you would don the robes

- thanks for the "smoke" feedback

- any and all feedback is valuable

- take care

Dear Firekeeper,

I suppose I am the culprit on this one. I do smoke and have been struggling with my emotional connnection to this addiction for the past several months. I would like to try to quit again, although, I am not currently actively trying to quit.

I feel badly that I may have affected you during the clearing practice.

Wow...talk about your second-hand smoke issues!

With apologies,
Lesley

Lesley,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

- most kind.

- yet, not to worry

>:-}}

- I did not notice the smoke smell and taste until after I was done with the practices - it is the kind K-K sensing from the K-K sessions that I find most interesting - so no apologies are necessary

>:-}}

- and, you may not be the only smoker in the group - just the only one to say so thus far

>:-}}

- take care,

Greetings from Maine,

Here' my feedback..(and I don't smoke)...I felt the most intense instant heat during the clearing. Immediate, intense....in a word: WOW. Friday was a pleasant enough day but as has always been the case two days after, well, I am so incredibly irritable. Emotional flu of sorts...dont' hardly have control over the undercurrent of hypersensitivity. Needless to say, I'm hard to be around.
My poor family...good thing they love me.....

Namaste Mammabear....

Hubby's exile is not self imposed, but he is co-operative in the demands made.

I can only hope that our 'wishful thinking' one day comes to fruition.

;-)

Appreciate your note!

((HUGS)) & Blessings.....z

Namaste demetra...

I can only say WoW! How different experiences can be. I must say, I fell asleep during the K-K appointed time. As with previous solo experiences, I felt calm and grounded in the day and days following the session. I have had more energy, and have even finished a disagreeable task, that I have been avoiding for months. ;-) There is a lot of big 'stuff' going on around me this week, and I am not stressing over it.
It is interesting to hear of others feedback, thankyou for sharing yours!

((HUGS)) & Blessings........z

Namaste all,

Nice to read about all the feed back . I am not a smoker and live in Uganda . I have been coping with a lot of change and uncertainity of late and am finding life a little unbearable at the moment.

I was at work during the K-K appointed time due the the time difference.During the time I felt nothing but about 12 hours later I felt a pain in some parts of my body which lasted only about 30 minutes.

The next day I was very positive and happy but 2 days later was very tearful, angry and bitter. Am now glad to say I am feeling fine and am able to cope with things alot better now.

I would love to be a part of the session again if is possible.

Lots of love

Jambo( which means hello in Kiswahili)

Good Morning from Maine one and all!

I find this all so fascinating...the varied experiences. It's eye opening to compare experience. Jambo, have you ever participated in K-K before? I am asking because I seem to experience the same sort of response each time..the first day fine, the next day "negative" emotions. I wonder what that is about. Why do you think that 2 days later you too were "angry, tearful, bitter"?
Anyone?

Hi there,

I find all this fascinating too and it is wonderful to be able to share it with people who feel the same way. This was my first paritciapted in K-K. I am relatively new to the cafe.I am not sure about the angry,tearful and bitter feelings. When I did my Reiki 1 I felt very sad and tearful after and my Reiki master told me it was because these feeling were leaving and where just saying good bye.I like to thing this is the reason.

I wonder if anyone else has any other reasons.

Jambo

Dear Friends,

I was in a relaxed state, lying in bed, during the K-K. I did experience quite a bit of energy...heat in my feet and legs, pin pricks in my finger tips and a very substantial (but not uncomfortable) pressure at the base of my spine. I then drifted off to sleep.

I had been experiencing really intense nightmares during the week or so prior to the K-K but have not had another one since Thursday evening. I woke up feeling wonderful, more grounded and really peaceful. A few days ago I began to feel more "on edge". Not irritable or grouchy, but kind of restless and I'm having a hard time concentrating.

It's so interesting to hear everyone's feedback so I thought I'd add mine to the mix. (This was my first K-K experience, also.)

Peace and Light,
Lesley

Namaste,
although i´ve already shared this with Firekeeper, i thought i would share it with the rest of my guinea-brothers and sisters!

i decided to sleep during the K-K.i woke up at that time feeling really hot...and i felt like my body was being pressed down..i felt like some weight was pulling me down. i felt a strong pressure in my throat..by my timus gland..i think..with my eyes still closed (i kept opening and closing them..by that time it was kind of scary)and i saw a golden-orange light surrounding me...then by that time- i was very sleepy and i remembered about the K-K...and i realized it was that.....then the feeling of growing roots..of being centered, of being in the moment came in...and i fell asleep again. i felt kind of sick for a few hours.
I am still feeling kind of sick from my stomache-and i wonder if it has anything to do with it..i feel kind of heavy and i am eating well, but light.but still, it doesnt go away.

This was my first K-K and I Dont smoke. I am joining you again in the next k-K.

take care

thank u Firekeeper!!!

Dear Guinea pigs and Firekeeper:

First of all let me say that is SO amazing Firekeeper was able to taste the smoke. Being so far away and all.

So, I'm the other smoker, I want to quit real bad, but haven't really started yet. I think this is a really good staring point tho.

I didn't feel anything particular that night, i was sleeping at that time, and didn't have any dreams i can remember.

the next day in the afternoon I felt very dizzy, like my brain was spinning (thank you Lesley, Maat and Skydancer for your love and help)

Since that friday i've felt really tired, not well physically (head hurting, and overall kinda discomfort)
and much like Jambo said, very emotional.

It reminds me of the "attunemnt blues"

Still very thakful and blessed for this new experience.

Thank you all for sharing, and again, thanks FK.

Love to you all,

Clau

What do you think, Firekeeper? I have to say that this was the first time (of I think, 5 clearings) that I ever felt heat. Other than that all other post clearing qualities have been the same.

Demetra,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

- one of the uses of Mindfulness is that we can sometimes have some information related to questions that we have fropm the expereince

- I feel it is important that you experienced "heat" for the first time

- what exactly it means with respect to your energy bodies or physcial body I cannot say - especially since this was a group clearing not an individual one

- some others have mentioned some heat as well -

- a most intruiging idea for me is that some of you were "feeling" the energy of the group

>:-}}

- in previous small groups all the guinea pighs provided some feedback that was almost identical to the others, for example energy at heart chakra when that had been part of the practices that night

- so, I hope this helps in some way

Reiki all around,

Firekeeper

Dear Firekeeper,

This is a fine example of how I can get in my own way sometimes! I assumed anything I felt was coming from you, as the one doing the clearing. It had never occurred to me that the energy felt could have been coming from the entire group!

As you say...very intriging, indeed.

If you have any further insights...please share! I have found this whole experience to be rather like unpeeling an onion, with layers unfolding to reveal new surprises.

Peace and Light,
Lesley

Namaste all
Although I was asleep, I did remember warmth, heat....just chaulked it up to a hormone flash....hmmmmmm maybe not?? ;-)

I continue to be centered and calm overall, but do find that I would rather be at home tending to stuff, and have to make myself get out and go to work. A bit irritated that I must leave the nest and go to work. Related to this, or just a slight case of burnout???? Certainly food for thought.

I do enjoy the sharing aspect of this group thing though. Will pass on the next one, to allow for others who care to have a turn. Do not want to become a guinea hog!
;-)

((HUGS)) & Blessings......z

I do like hearing the varied feedback! Perhaps someone else has experienced this too....since last Friday many of my electronic/electrical things have gone haywire! The worst is my cell phone...I'm hesistant to even touch it...as soon as I do the satelite contact is significantly diminished. It does not matter where I am, as soon as I touch it, it becomes nearly impossible to use. Grounding?
Yes, tried it often, doesn't seem to have the effect I'm after.
Could be coincidence, but I beg to differ.
