Hi,
I have been reading Dreamhealer 2 by Adam who supposedly is a natural healer ( I say supposedly because I do not know him). He projects a hologram with auras of the person or persons he is working on. Of interest is how he connects with people: he describes it as "resonating" at their frequency. This fascinates me as I can see where it might apply to Reiki, the attunement setting the healing frequency, so to speak. He also makes note that there is no good or bad energy, its just energy that is directed by our intentions. The energy that moves is the energy we intend to move ( bad intention, bad energy). That speaks to me about the need for preparation before Reiki so one is in the right frame of mind & right intention. He talks about grounding visualizations, etc. and stresses the individual's responsibility to direct their owm healing. " I help people remember what they have forgotten".
Reiki is very much about intention. It is easy to overlook that and get wrapped up in brand name Reiki! Nothing new here, but a great reminder, eh? :)
peace & joy,
holobon

Excellent reminder
thanks for that
in my meditation practice I deal with different energies also such as anger, frustration, dissapointment, happiness, elation, etc... and in this practice disolving (throught looking for the source) the "story" or label around the energy and just allowing it to be as it is.
as pure energy and observing what responses it elicits on the physical/emotional/psychic bodies. It has been a very powerful and revealing practice for me. So I can relate to what you said.
keep it real

Hi Holobon,

Yes I agree that intention is very important, your book sounds very interesting. I have in the past postponed doing a Reiki session on someone because I have been feeling so angry or upset over something personal and not been confident that I would be mindful enough to keep my own 'issues' under wraps so to speak.

Even now at the start of every Reiki session on another, I always set my intention with a silent mantra that I be a clear Reiki channel and that Reiki flow for the highest good of the person concerned. I often find myself silently repeating the Reiki principles too, I find that helps me to stay focused and mindful :)

Thank you for the important reminder :)

Gentle Blessings

Always good to be reminded of how intent is key.

Helen, your sharing reminded me of what our reiki consultant said as we were beginning to reiki each other, that when our energy was not smooth, we were to excuse ourselves, go to the bathroom and get clear before beginning. After a couple of weeks practice, I spent a day doing something that had me tired and tensed up. When my friend showed up for reiki, I assumed that she would have me be on the table first as usual and I would have my energy smooth by the time she was on the table. Well, she went first, so there I was, rattled and frazeled by my day, and I was in a spot! My internal conversation, was, this is exactly what she told us not to do. Well, lets put a good face on it anyway. So my hands were on my partner's face for a very long time while I attempted to get myself relaxed. During the week when we met with our consultant, she reported this strange energy and I had to tell my story of what had happened.

So, yes, yes. By all means, have your energy in order before being reiki with anyone!

Hi Holobon,
Thanks for reminding that intention is most important, just when I was wondering about the reiki I sent to my sis inlaw recently with out using any symbols. She complained of severe head ache in the middle of some rituals that were going on n asked for reiki. The place was too noisy n I didnt have the mood to use any symbols, I just made a strong intention n gave her reiki for a few minutes n she was all smiling n thanking me that her head ache was gone! Also, very apt that negative intention means negative energy. I have gone through the attack of negative energy with one of my close friends who is very jealous of me though she loves me very much n I love her too. Just an example . She looks at my painting with one glance n phew, the painting board gets all cracks! she gave a look at us just before we leave in our car for a long trip n we had a accident!

Hi Finality,

Thanks for sharing this, it just goes to show how our own 'stuff' can get in the way if we are not prepared. My first Reiki teacher was very clear about not just protecting oneself from the recipients 'stuff' but just as importantly protecting the client from one's own issues.

Gentle Blessings

- the knowledge that ULE is only energy (not positive or negative) and that Intentions govern the manifestation of the positive or negative is very olde knowledge.

Hello alamelu,
I have to jump in here and comment because I think its important you not give your power away to this friends anger so much.
Perhaps a board cracking is possible but to say her anger caused your accident might be a bit over the top.
Remember that Light of Source ( Which you are!) is much stronger than darkness.
Choose the Love. Choose to know you are protected. Perhaps this accident had more significance than you realize and you have turned into an incorrect posture about the possible reasoning behind this.
One thing is for sure. It did happen like it did so you could look more closely at the belief you have in your friends anger to do harm.
Go within and ask where this fear lives within you so you can begin the process of finding the core issue that surrounds it.
Is it in your heart when you reflect, or solar plexus, shoulder, tummy? Where? What is this fear telling you when you place your attention/intention upon it?

Rememeber always that there is a Light within you. A Light that nothing unlike itself can penetrate. You are the Love and Light of the world.
Heal any issues within you that say different!

Loving you and holding the space for your freedom from Fear,

Jahnavi

Otoharo!

Helen, this time when I read this, it occurred to me to comment on this protection of self. That never came up for me in all my reiki work. Our point of view is that only if one has something in themselves that draws what we call negativity to us, does it ever affect us. therefore, self protection, IS clearing out the dross in US.
