The Reiki Cafe 

hi to you all to-day, hope all are well & happy,
I am not a fit person, Reiki found me through my illness, it has helped in a lot of ways, mainly the mental/emotional ones, it has changed my whole view of life & everything,
I love to help, animals & people etc....I would have loved to have done the RM, but my RM told me I would never be strong enough 'physically' to do this........
I feel I can do as much as all the RM's do (except the attunements & teach,) but I sure spread the word!!!...
like 'gavstar' on here, Reiki didn't heal me, but, oh boy, I could 'never' go a day with out it'...& feel I am the way I am for a reason....
no more 'poor me', (well I have my days :-(...
but can cope a lot better through learning Reiki...
what I think I am saying is 'you have to' be physically 'strong (healthy) to take the 'shifts' that come with doing RM, & giving 'gavstar' food for thought...
please wait till you are well.....Reiki will wait for 'you'.
luv yer all wendy ann xxx

Good advice,,,,,,I have found that the reiki is a great companion during my darker days with the CFS that I have and its great to be part of this new community and share thoughts and ideas in reiki.

It is amazing how it changes your whole family's life ..my wee kiddies 4 and 2 years old love reiki as do all my extended family and wihtout sounding too evangelical about it, it is lovely to spread the word and get mroe and more people into its amzing benefits.

I think that too is subject to personal belief.
I had severe muscle injuries when I got my Reiki 3. As well as having ADD.Matter of factly it's only been in the last year or so ( been reiki for going on 5 years)that I have been feeling any better.

I'm not saying physically fit isn't a good thing. But I had no problems adjusting to the changes the energies caused.

Also some of the worst rm's I have seen are the ones who eat healthy , excercise and are otherwise in good to great physical condition but have piss poor attitudes and look down at others who don't excercise or eat right and are so quick to say how these folks are unreiki when they are clearly being bullheaded and ignorant on any given topic.

All aspects of our existence come into play with Reiki. The physical is no less or more important than another.

I have to agree with you conflagration...I find the new energies therapeutic and physical fitness has not really concerned me too much but certainly the 21 day cleanse and adjustment process after any attunement/degree has presented some inetresting issues with adjustments to ones life!!

I'm not sure what you mean by illness...physical or emotional? I don't see any reason to feel restricted in your study of Reiki with either. Even the learning and attunement process can add to your strength and healing, so I would say, don't feel limited.

Each RM has their own prejudices. They are human, and make mistakes in judgement, too. Please take what any RM says witha liberal grain of salt (including me), and do what seems right to you.

hi there,
not quiet sure if you are posting me (wendy) or gavstar!?
what you say is true, mine is 'phisical' (weakness in body through an on- going illness)..won't kill me, just likes to make my life painful.
But Reiki found me, & is showing me my 'new' & 'wonderful path',
I am a Reiki pratictioner & 'love' it, but hope now to move up for better & stronger healing for myself & others...
some things are taken from us, but Reiki gives it back 10 fold...thankyou for this post.. luv wendy ann xxxx
