Greetings from Maine!
Well, my experience last night during the group clearing was most interesting. I was in a light meditative state when all of a sudden I felt an intense pervasive feeling of dread or perhaps despair. I'm not sure I know the word for what I felt, but it was a BIG feeling. It did not last long, but it certainly got my attention. I am generally very even keel, so this was truly startling. A fleeting few moments of awfulness.
Weird.

I am sorry if that was me. My daughter just got her license yesterday. She had to drive to her Dad's at 10:00 last night. 1/2 drive on the highway by herself. I tried hard not to worry....but she is my baby.

Anyone have a Frazier Crane.. Lileth reference. Email if this is you.

General feelings.. clearing of the third eye. Elevated energy feeling on the whole. Little headache because of change of energy level of third eye.

Sorry again if someone received my nervous mom thing.

Love and light and thanks so much Firekeeper.

Namaste Firekeeper,
I may unwhittingly have added a twist to your experience.

My 19 year old son went to a sit shiver at his friends house and unknowingly ate a rugalach which had cashew in it. He's very allergic. He found out he had done this and came home, took Benedryl and then was sick till midnight EST. In all this I forgot about the group KK and between 11:30 and 12 I gave him Reiki and then fell asleep.

I am feeling rather calm in a spacey kind of way today, so perhaps I was cleared in spite of myself!

Thanks and blessings,
Starlight

- again, honored you volunteered for the K-K

- yes, as I try to point out, in the information I provide each guinea pig before their first K-K, that it really does not matter what you are doing at the time -

- though some activities are likely to be more conducive to being Mindful of the session than others - meditating, doing yoga, even sleeping, etc seeming to be preferred

- so, the clearing went on in spite of the other important draws on your energy and Mindfulness at the time

- hope all is more copacetic with your son

- as always, I value all feedback so thanks and anything else you feel comfortable mentioning here or by e-mail in the days ahead is most welcome

- take care,

Firekeeper,

All I know, is that for the first time in at least a week, I had a really good solid night's sleep.

As for healing effects, I don't know yet. I have found in the past that it usually brings something to the surface...I don't think there has been time yet. But I'm sure it will come.

Best wishes,
Roxy

Dear Firekeeper,

Well, I developed a headache out of the blue, felt very tired & was in bed asleep by 1030pm. Been thinking about dreams & the subconcious today & wondering if the bodies we live in are our own creations, a mix of past life experiences & our current spiritual needs....in other words my brain is on over drive today for some reason... but nothing else to report.

peace & joy,
holobon

Namaste..

Well, I have little to report at this point. Thursday was the fourth day of a very long work week for me. I came home exhausted, fell asleep on the couch until I wandered to bed around 9pm. I did wake up, wide awake and refreshed at 11:30pm CST, only to see the clock and realize I had a full night ahead of me to sleep. So sleep I did! I woke Friday morning more refreshed, and checked in here and was disappointed that I again slept thru the guinnea pig experience. Although I was more rested, my mood did not support another 10 hour day at work, but I made it through again.

Lately, I have been undergoing a fair bit of life evaluation, and thoughts of the future, so perhaps with this, I shall come to some degree of clarity.

Will report back, if anything evolves over the coming days or weeks. Thank you for the opportunity to sit with such a wonderful group, even if I was again unconcious throughout!

- perhaps a headache is a clue to think less -

Okay, Firekeeper,

I think I see what it did. It has triggered my mind into thinking about, and working on, my own issues and self-healing. I'm finding a renewed interest in Reiki itself, and especially doing self-treatment.

Namaste Firekeeper...

It was I who was honoured.

Not much feedback from here unfortunatly, and yes, I am dense most of the time, but this time I was dense and unconscious! ;-)

Dear Firekeeper,
Thanks for everything you do.Always.

I was asleep during the K-K and i didnt wake up. But i know i had a pretty intense dream..cause..--warning this is gonna sound funny-i have a small scar right over my nose, i think i hit something while sleeping, or scratch myself or something...cause i woke up with a really small bleeding scar, that i didnt have the day before. And i woke up with the feeling of an intense dream,and the scar of such a dream!!!!I usually remember all my dreams..but this wasnt the case....
I am feeling a little bit better, like i am beginning to think that somehow things will improve..the crying and sadness comes and goes these days..But i have hope that i will be fine.

well, that was my experience:-)
always,
LadyCYan

Dear Firekeeper,

For me this was a very different clearing than previous ones...
first the intense emotional component during the process and then the overall absence of a 'cranky day'. IN the past the first day after the clearing, I am light and buoyant, but the next day is like a hell day...nothing seems to be right and boy o boy, look out because Mama's in a mood. None of that this time....very serene, very calm which is all the more fascinating because our family is preparing to move out of state. A welcome lack of mood swing, I'd say. Then again this whole move thing has been characterized by a general void of big feelings.....hmmmm.
Thank you Firekeeper for giving us all the chance to grow,

Demetra of Maine, currently underfoot but always in her heart

Dear Firekeeper,

Any feedback from the K-K yet? :)

holobon,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

- ah!! thanks for the reminder.

- apologies for being dilatory (or forgetful)

>:-}}

- reviewing my notes it seems that the general energy level of the group at the outset was "subdued" - best world that applies at the time

- as the work begins I notice that the subdued "atmosphere" remains -

- then, at the conclusion there is a gentle but well-defined "blossoming" of the energy level of the group -

- the overall sense of the energy is one of gentle openness and a certain serenity

- just as the night's circle is being concluded I also feel that the energy of the group is sort of "reaching" to include me within the clearing circle itself, a sense I really have not had previously (it is this brief sense right at the end that has had some of my spare Mindfulness since the group)

- hope this helps

Dear Firekeeper,

That is wonderful to read as I sense that it might indicate more of a partnership in healing in all of the group?? A group consciousness? What do you think? I understand that it is the question that matters & perhaps we should reach our own conclusions, but Im going fishing anyway....HeHe.
I can not say that I have any recall of anything happenning during K-K as these days I am usually asleep by the time you start. :( Perhaps that is why Im fishing for more feedback.

peace & joy,
holobon

- did you mention fishing???

namaste,
sorry i havent responded earlier. last thursday i was at work and then was so tired i fell asleep right away. nothing out of the ordinary that night, but what is really interesting is what has happened since. the other night i had a very vivid dream regarding a situation at work where something happened that was out of the ordinary and some changes were to be made. the very next morning i received a phonecall from them, something had happened and a situation almost identical, word-for-word to the dream had arisen. i have had dreams like this my entire life, but never quite this clear. in the past it has always been a guessing game, hmmm what exactly does this mean? this time there was no doubt, what i saw in the dream happened exactly as i'd seen it.
so i'd say the clearing definitely is helping. i would be interested in doing the next one (july 24th?) if there is still room.
thanks again,
skywatcher crow.
