The Reiki Cafe 

Hi everyone,
I would like to add here what I find to be good. We need to be forgiven. So I repented at least once before any energy work. I ask/invite the heavenly beings
(e.g. Jesus) to cleanse the negative thoughts and feelings in me.
I also give thanks for all that I have: blessings, people around me etc.
After the energy is cleaner, I pray for a certain situation either currently happening in the world or on-going habits of people that damage relationships and trusts. I sense some of the reasons that people have for being who they are. I view them as those needing different perspectives about/of their lives.
I work on my energy level while in a prayer state. When I am ready and full of energy I sent/send my wishes/messages to certain locations.

As I like to make reiki balls, I place messages in them. Then send them off.

Ps: the important things in many practices are the true/good intentions and will to follow our own advice to others. So that we become good role models

Wishing possible faith and endurance to occur among us all....

Otoharo!

starjasmine, consider for a minute, what if! What if The Holy does not judge us? What if there is nothing to forgive? What if there is no good nor bad? What if all that matters is what works to bring you what you want to do, have, or be. What if it is a simple matter of choice?

Hi starjasmine,
I recently posted something similar to this. I got a wide responce. It came to my attention on the chat the chat site one night that not all pray to anything. I was taught to pray with Reiki from my teacher and of course from by upbringing as a child that comes from a christian family. When I heard that not all pray for healings when doing reiki I was really confused. Then I started reading the book Conversations with God. It really made since to me, and now I do not pray for healings I thank him for it in advance. Praying for healings means that you have lost faith in what he can do. So now I thank him for everything instead of praying {asking} for it. This has made so much more since to me. For example my mother prayed the night before that my brother could eat something at our thanksgiving dinner. That day was the worst day my brother had had in months with his eating, why? because my mother did not trust. Loss of faith. This has come to my attenton alot like the example, alot and in the past. Now that we thank him instead we have had better days. Just wanted to share this. Blessings to you,
Love and Light

Hi Sherry,
I was taught to forgive others and repent for all my mistakes. Often we do not realize where we went wrong. By dissolving our pride, we can be enlightened. When I was young I prefer to talk to holy spirit. In return, I was told where I went wrong. Alas, I only admitted to the Spirit cause It was kind and understanding.

Reiki and most energy works plus meditations required us to be calm and humble.
I found that giving all trouble to heavens to receive advices for will help to ease the tensions in us. Thus Reiki works better. Also knowing how to provide an atmosphere for others' healing process can be learnt thru communicating with the divine. I like to be able to provide a way for others to regain their spiritualism.
I thanks both heavens and spirits for providing this healing energy, also our breathe of life. I try not to be too self assured of any personal healings. Thus the request of guided healings.
I also believe that many things , even food, can work against us. A few bad thoughts or just not concentrating on eating can choke me. I do think that I am bought back in line in this manner.

Thanks for your posts and I look forward to exploring prayer issues and joy of relieve thru combined prayers and self-healings.

Thankful in everything and proud in nothing...

Otoharo!

Sherry, this is great feed back.

Hi,
It sounds like you have your way that works for you. That is wonderful, I am still looking for mine. It has been real hard for me to put aside what I was brought up to believe and incorporate what I have learned since Reiki.The one thing that has really bothered me is that we have to ask for forgiveness for our sins. Why? Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins, NO Matter What they are. The problem with sin is that it will come back at you so that is why we don't want to do it. What you send out to the universe will come back at ya. I believe that is what hell is all about. You create your own. That is a wonderful idea to put things in a ball and send them to the universe as long as they are in Love and sent with positive thoughts. Remember when you send them to send it in a way that will come back to you in a loving way. I have another story Example--- I used to call my brothers girlfriend a red headed B----h. I didn't like her at all. I have darkbrown hair that now turns RED. Right back at me. hehehe This is a small example, and I don't use that kind of language anymore. Anyway, I beleive in Jesus and God, but I don't think that our God is a vengful God as I was brought up to believe. That just never made any since to me when Jesus died for ALL OF OUR SINS. God is Love so how could he be vengeful. Blessings to all, and to you.

And another thing, it just hit me, we would want to send loving thoughts to the universe and God if we want to correct a negative thought. But that is not asking for forgiveness, we do not have to ask, but by our actions it will be corrected. We are just humans and God knows we make mistakes. KNowing how to correct them and wanting to correct them is the key.

Love and Light
Sherry

Greetings Fellow Seekers:

I just have to put my two cents worth in here about prayer as it is a very passionate subject for me. This is my view,please take what you like and leave the rest.

I believe that God is Love and Will is thought therefore - God's Will is Loving Thoughts. Given that will is thought, I believe Will (thought) to be a powerful gift from God and its purpose to create our life as we wish. Now this gets a bit complicated when you start taking into consideration that many thoughts happen on an unconscious level due to various trauma's and unpleasant experiences that happened growing up and so unconsciously we recreate patterns of experience from the past with people now in everyday life because we have not healed the past experiences( people in our everyday lives often trigger our feelings from past relationship trauma's or incidents that were hurtful somehow and we recreate this in the present)unfortunately our unconscious mind does not forgetand it keeps gathering things daily. We attract what we are at some level and so continous healing on all levels is necessary to keep us from going around in circles. That is the beauty of the gift of Reiki it can and does keep us clean once we do the work to clear out the rubbish from the past and maintain this cleansing daily with regular practice of Reiki.

I have recently discovered a wonderful healing process to do this with Reiki called transmutation and stacking. This is a bit complicated so I will try to simplify it.

Transmutation has an effect much like hypnosis only you use Reiki to heal the incidents in the past by visualizing the incident and using an absentia healing method to send Reiki to the past situation. You can then stack several incidents in a category, label them for example ( victimization experinces) and kept going back to each stack and sending Reiki to them daily until they are cleared from your past. I have had personal experience with this in my life and it works, believe me I have felt it in my life. Now of course prayer is used in conjunction with this method as no healing would really be complete without asking God and his various helpers such as Angels etc... for help to heal something that we feel is blocking us from doing the work we came here to earth to do.

Aside from these complicated procedures I must say I believe in the power of prayer most feverently. Having practiced it for the past 20 years of my life I have come to an understanding of how to use this gift from God in a more intelligent manner than I did in my young life. I do not request things to happen from a place of ego but from a place of intuition where I ask God to speak to me about what to ask for concerning myself and others for the highest good of all concerned. I often ask God to open others hearts to his healing and in that way I am not telling God exactly what to do( which I believe is the height of arrogance ) but only wishing healing for another which is of course what I believe God wants for us all. I also ask for defects of character that harm myself and others to be removed from myself so I can do God's work more fully, and I ask for God to give myself and others the strength or whatever characteristic that would assist a person to endure their current life lessons.

I believe our sole purpose on earth is to HEAL! on all levels, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Having said all this I have thus put in my two cents worth for whatever it is worth and these are my views and experiences.

Love and light to you all!

Hi whitelace,

Sherry, about forgiveness. If there is no judgment, what is to be forgiven? With God not a vengeful God, then Jesus' death was not because of our sins. He died because the Sanhedran put him to death. How could the Sanhedran have anything to do with our sins? He arose to demonstrate to us that life continues after death of the physical body. He got our attention!

Otoharo!

Victoria, very interesting. We have done things similar to those you describe, transmuting and stacking. Yes, apparently when we have nothing else to heal, we need no longer remain here. Unless we are having such a ball we want to stick around and enjoy ourselves!

Sometimes, we are not admitting our parts in mistakes occur and sometimes we don't not see our mistakes. By admitting that we need God's forgiveness all for wrongs done by us, we have become humble and willing to change. Maybe also listen more. The more we walk in the light, the more we can change into a person who has been transformed. The less we do wrong, the more inspiring we can be to others etc. I would consult God on difficult issues as He is the all knowning and the all inclusive...
Alas, only if I am humble and a good listener.....

Before any energy work and sending messages, I submit my thoughts to heaven. I get intuitions and reviews about myself. I repent cause I know I make mistakes and poor discussions. God does forgive us. To be thankful about this is to be humble. He, I think, would be happy to see us approach Him and ask He to continue to forgive and guide us. He helps us in more obvious ways if we aknowledge (consider Him as friend, Father and shepherd) Him and show our gratitudes.
When we know how to approach an issue, the issue can be properly solved and people involved will be happy. When most pros and cons are considered we can make better discussions and the prayers be more helpful etc.

Therefore, I hand over many issues to God for review. In this way, I will not cause misunderstanding, intrusiveness and other undesired results and consequences. Maybe angels can tally up many similar wishes and good will and assist to make things happen!

Just a thought....
Thanks in advance for replying...

ps: asking also means not expecting...
waiting and still praying mindfully: is to have faith and patience
Merry Christmas and wishing all a safe and happy year ahead!

Hi Sherry, I agree with you. We can place faith in God. Try not to worry about which way works. God and Jesus are like friends, you can talk to them. They will comfort you.
They can help you find a path that suits you. Like a guiding star they will lead you. I was told many things in the past and now I have decided to just listen mainly to God so that I can a clearer picture about many things. My actions are best made if I have thought carefully about them. The holy spirit holds me on occassions when I was about to be foolish.

I still have to be consistent in my faith and prayers. The methods of solving problems is to be open in many aspects of life. We need very little to go on with life if we do not ask for much in life. Often the best way and "least wasteful" to be happy and show "love" to others is through the heart. All of us can have a heart and having a heart (helping others etc) is more endearing than many other types of gifts.

I would not wish to feel that I owe someone a favour because them spent lots on me. I rather remember them are wonderful people that I like to pray for and be around them... In this case, they would have shown their support and kindness at some stage.

Here's wishing you a feeling a ease and strong faith in the
wise King in heaven.

finality, sometimes you seem to be talking through your hat. when someone expresses something, listen, they are going through some real experience, if someone is talking about forgiveness, listen again because reason for forgiveness exists, not everyone could or should believe what remains to forgive, ask someone who has been sinned against, get real, i am often faced with people who evade life, who do not acknowledge pain and colour it in banal talk read somewhere and taught by some teacher, many of us live, actually live day to day life, work, may not understand measures of music but do stock grocery, it helps if one can embrace them and try to understand, i know how you feel coz i have been there too, and sometimes we need to get more real, love and light

Otoharo!

alveena, again you are entitled to your opinion.

finality

finality,

i sure am entitled to an opinion but this is not about opinions. its the same pool, the bliss is the same, what you say is known to me and what i experience is known to you, there is no difference because if there is then there is no energy happening at some end, because my energy is the same as yours and my experience is the same as yours and when someone speaks of forgiveness i understand and you must also listen, because someday it will also be your experience, trust me it will, and when you speak of somethings we will also understand as your experience is also everyone's, you are in your own state of meditativeness now, its not simply reiki, thats the only definition you know but what is happening to you is immense and infinite and i can hear it in your expression and it is your truth and will remain thus you defend it and let me hold my opinion, but when you know you will tell me "hey alveena - this is your truth now and soon it will change/ grow and you will have to understand me because we are in the same ocean of bliss, you are not different from me,",

love

Otoharo!

I am sorry but your communication is unclear. You seem to be making strange assumptions about me. To the extent that i get your drift, these assumptions are not correct. That is the best I can do.

finality

Otoharo!

I decided to see if I could decipher what you are saying.

"I sure am entitled to an opinion but this is not about opinions." (I see a different truth apparently from your truth. If you are talking about truths then I will continue from this assumption.)

"It is the same pool."

"The bliss is the same."

"What you say is known to me."

"What I experience is known to you."

"There is no difference"

"If there is (a difference) then there is no energy happening at some end." (?)

"My energy is the same as yours."

"My experience is the same as yours."

"When someone speaks of forgiveness, I understand."

"You must listen" (are you implying that I know nothing about forgiveness?)

"Someday it will also be your experience." (?)

"Trust me, it will." (Why would you think I trust you when I do not know what you are saying?)

"When you speak of something, we will also understand."

"Your experience is also everyone's."

"You are in your own state of meditativeness now," (?)

"Its not simply reiki." (?)

"Thats the only definition you know" (?)

"But what is happening to you is immense and infinite"

"I can hear it in your expression"

"It is your truth and will remain thus"

"YOu will defend it."

"You let me hold my opinion."

"When you know, you will tell me, 'hey alveena--this is my truth now'" (?)

"Soon it will change/grow". (?)

"You will have to understand me". (?)

"Because we are in the same ocean of bliss."

"You are not different from me."

Are you implying that I speak of no judgement in the face of a situation where someone else is speaking of the need for forgiveness and I do not know anything about that? How can something need to be forgiven when no one has judged it? Forgiveness is a larger energy than any other energy we encounter here. Yet no judgement is even greater. These things are my experience.

What do you mean that you see me in a state of meditativeness? Are you aware of how many decades I have lived fully and extensively?

In Oneness, we are all one and at the same time individual with individual experiences. We are each as distinct and unique as snowflakes. We continue our uniqueness forever. What we experience has our own flavor. What we feel always has our own flavor.

What do you mean that reiki is the only definition I know? That sounds like a judgement of some kind.
