I’ve been thinking about this for some time and will try to write down why it seems some things are easier to treat than others and why some ills clear up almost miraculously when treated with energy. Before you read any further note that this is based on personal observation, layman science and a good deal of meditative thought – so that is the level to judge it on.
In essence most ills can be split into two kinds of problem: those caused by the body/cells themselves (internal – often DNA or gland activity related) and those caused by agents outside the body (external – germs or toxins). Even ills caused by stress or psychological issues relate to internal glandular activities.
When energy such as reiki or QT is given to a person it is said to flow to where ever it is most needed. This may be a generalised truth but it is shown to be limited by the recommended use of hand positions in most energy work. In truth the energy enters the body and will, like a liquid acting under gravity, fill the nearest low points first (visualise Einstein’s gravity wells formed from suns and planets on a flat dimention called space or even a level but not perfectly flat piece of tarmac with puddles on) before the overspill moves to the next low point. The use of hand positions moves the entry point so that the local low points are filled first. In the case of distant healing this local entry of energy may be much more like an even spread almost like rain – not all low points get filled but every part gets some energy. I have observed the energy falling like rain onto a person while they are receiving reiki.

This energy is used by the body in different ways:
Firstly it can boost an under-energised gland or system back to normal levels – and then the fully functioning system will correct any imbalances.
Secondly it has the ability to energise the internal structures of cells (most often DNA?) and halt abnormal activities and return the cells to normal functioning mode.
Thirdly it can affect (by intent) the interlopers in the system that are causing the problem (germs and possibly chemicals) and render them subject to normal bodily attack or even kill them.

Restoring normal activity will give feelings on well-being rather like the euphoria following a good meditation. During meditation the body and mind enter a calm period and the fight-or-flight feelings that make unnecessary organs to stop taking blood are suppressed. These organs include the liver and kidneys and there purify the blood so meditation will result in cleaner blood and hence a healthier feeling all round. This is partly why receiving reiki leaves people feeling relaxed and spaced out.
Problems within cells such as cancer are caused by parts of the DNA being active and refusing to shut off when normal cells would. This includes cells that produce antibodies so includes ills such as arthritis. Recent studies in epigenetics have shown that environment can cause the activation of parts of DNA, so why should ‘healing energy’ not do the same, only in this case it restores normal functioning by turning the overactive bits off. This is why some cancers literally disappear leaving surgeons with no work to do.
Healing energies I think are least effective when it comes to the interlopers. These are not part of the body and the energy has a different job to do – that of suppression or even elimination. This is why sometimes reiki is not as effective against colds and viruses (like HIV) as it is in other illnesses.

- a few thoughts:

- you said, in part: "In truth the energy enters the body and will, like a liquid acting under gravity, fill the nearest low points first (visualise Einstein’s gravity wells formed from suns and planets on a flat dimention called space or even a level but not perfectly flat piece of tarmac with puddles on) before the overspill moves to the next low point."

- I would say one cannot use the laws of the world of 'measureable' energy to describe the realms of Intention

- and to model the movement of ULE in the body after the laws of physics will lead one astray very quickly

- electricity follows the path of least resistance as does water but the energy associated with Intention has none of the properties of water (except by metaphor) and few if any properties of electricity)

- the energy will often go where the recipient intends it to go (and it is important to remember that there are "unconscious" intentions as well as those of which we are actively aware).

- as to why Reiki boosts to the immune system will help clear allergies and flu better than Reiki will 'cure' cancer, AIDs, etc, is not so easily answered

- but these are Key issues for the energy-work community

hi FK,
Key issues indeed,ummm...but I know Reiki is wonderful for allergies, & arthritis...but the 'person who has it' also has to 'do their bit', IE. if you are living with constant damp & cold, Reiki will 'help' arthritis, but if you stay in those conditions 'it will' return (so no cure there, only help)
allergies, same thing really, find out 'the cause & try to remove it if you can, pollens is a hard one though!!!...but Reiki will, & has made many of my clients nose pour & relieve their stuffiness, until they get another 'whiff', of pollens!!!

it's a very brave or 'foolish', person that says Reiki can cure CANCER! cancer has very controversial causes..... going by the 'metorphisicals'(sp?)...ummmm a very hard one!!
I myself have had bladder cancer, I did self Reiki everyday & night, I could feels Reiki pulling (no pain) this lump up to fit the palm of my hand, the surgeon was amazed it hadn't gone through to the bowel, so I must say I feel Reiki kept it clear from there with me doing my own Reiki's..but it didn't CURE it, I was lucky, it was an OK cancer, (if there is such a thing,I have to have annual checks for the rest of my life), but if not for 'Reiki', & me telling my doctor there 'was' something there????

but getting back to the topic, Reiki goes where it is most needed first doesn't it?
I have never heard of this new theory of , 'filling'!, but Reiki is a wonder unto it's self, who knows? just maybe!!
but in to-days world 'who can' stay clear of harmful chemicals?, in our food, water, air, gee, I'm a party pooper eh!!!
luv to all, wendy ann xxx

- you said: "but getting back to the topic, Reiki goes where it is most needed first doesn't it?"

- well, only if that is the recipient's intention and mindfulness (which require practice, afterall)

- does that mean there will be instant or any other kind of results? Nope. No guarantees.

>:-}}

- yes, Reiki is a great immune system fortifier and booster where allergies and infections are concerned but one needs to be a bit careful about over-stimulating the immune system where auto-immune disorders are involved - and some in the medical community are beginning to put arthritis in the auto-immune category - at least according to some of the rheumatologists at my hospital

What does "metorphisicals" mean?

Thanks.

Yin energy has been great for getting the immune system to calm down (in rheumatoid arthritis, also in auto-immune hypothyroiditis).

Bruce,

- would you elaborate on the Yin issue?

- I wonder if you are suggesting that perhaps auto-immune disorders are an imbalance where there is too much Yang energy?

The imbalance involved in the autoimmune disorders I've seen seems to arise from excessive heart fire (e.g., in the bone marrow, for rheumatoid arthritis). Balancing it out w/ "water"-based yin energy has helped.

Bruce

Bruce,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

- so, since with auto-immune disorders the body is, in effect, attacking itself you are saying that the person is turning their heart-fire (Yang) energy on themselves??

- what if any Intention do you link to this??

- one might suggest that Intention by the 'client' to use the Yin energy would be needed as well in order for balance to be restored

- what 'improvements' would you say you have noticed in rheumatoid cases?

>

Honestly, I don't know. Most people don't seem to have any particular conscious intent for the energy that goes through their meridians. (The energy does go through nevertheless. Of course.)

>- one might suggest that Intention by the 'client' to use the Yin energy would be needed as well in order for balance to be restored

It helps if, e.g., the "client" can "breath the energy in." It also helps if the client can also do exercises to boost his or her water-based kidney energy.

>- what 'improvements' would you say you have noticed in rheumatoid cases?

Diminishment or cessation of pain, less frequent recurrence, greater range of motion.

Bruce

Oh. Okay, thanks.

Bruce

Bruce,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

- not all Intention is 'conscious'

- that, of course, is one of the Key 'rubs'

- repression and denial are very powerful "intentions" of which most of us are rarely aware and do affect the type and movement of energy

- thanks for the results notation - good stuff

take care,

Hello all,
I used the water example because of some really conflicting issues around the energy and how we use/see it. There is a fundamental problem around saying that:
>the energy will go where it is most needed
>the use of hand positions
>intent

These three do not add up as being all true at the same time. I use intent if I know of a problem, hand positions if I sense an area is in need and trust the energy to identify areas most in need and go there (ie the body has some holes that need filling). All of these are fulfilled by looking at the energy as a fluid. If the nearer analagy is with say electricity then the path of least resitance will be followed. If this is the case then intent is useless, hand positions barely useful and only a 'low charged' area will influence where the energy goes.
Just trying to figure it out.....but loving it all. all the time.
Love
Chris

hi Chris,
great to have you with us.....as we come from all around the world here,(me Australia) & all being taught by different masters, plus the 'language difference' some times 'wire's get crossed..lol
the 3 things you mention, are really 'one', if doing a full body Reiki the hands on positions cover 'ALL' the main organs, some will take more energy than others,one uses one's own judgment here, (as with the feelings in your palms of your hands, the feeling of the 'rise & fall')

the intent, I myself never use, I just ask Reiki to go to my friend & may she/he use it as wanted...

to-day one of my friends came over to see me with a screaming 'head ache', so I did the hand positions on her head, where I was lead...I could feel the 'pull' of reiki very strongly in some areas so waited till it 'fell'...my friend left (after she had a cool iced water drink,) head ache free...I go a lot by the 'feeling' of the Reiki 'flow'...
so if an organ/organs, don't need as much as others, the flow will stop sooner...

you will find over time Chris you will 'sense your way' that suites you..no hard & fast rules really, go with where Reiki is leading you, & 'FEEL'...it's wonderful stuff & wonderful to be able to help most people..all a matter of time & 'YOUR' way...
take care, have fun, 'ENJOY' the wonderful gift you have been given..

Hey Chris,

What do you know about RNA?
You seem to have a damned good grasp of this stuff.

Thanks - Ken

Hi Ken,
Well....if you want detailed info you need someone else but from my amatuer viewpoint:
RNS is like a junior DNA and is used mostly to take snapshots of bits of DNA and then using the sequence that it has copied it plays a part in protein synthesis. So it is used as a template to make these proteins. Unlike DNA it is usually a single helix. When finished with it is broken up into bits that can be used again. Some viruses and other 'primitive' forms have RNA in place of DNA and there is speculation that RNA was the primitive precursor to the more complex and stable DNA - it also tends to reflect parts of the much bigger DNA strands so is usually much shorter. As an aside it has one part that is different to DNA but is otherwise chemically very similar.
What was the question relating to?

Love
Chris

Hey Chris,

From my "amateur" perspective that explanation was detailed!

I have been thinking about RNA and the RNAi information that has come out recently, and wondering how I/we might incorporate Reiki into the process of manipulating such things as HIV, viral, and cancer cells so as to effectively cure some diseases, not simply use Reiki in a palliative manner. I'm not sure if you (or I) know where I want to go with this but I'm still in the early stages of my fact-finding analysis!

Thanks and I'll keep you posted. Any thoughts you have, no matter how far out there they may get, I'd welcome. Take care, Chris and have a great Thanksgiving!

Ken
PS - Biology was not my strength in school; biochemistry, that I understand...

So far as I know Reiki tends to be used to boost the recipient's energy and in the case of viruses it could be used to boost the immune system. The trouble with some viruses is thet they change and hide so that the immune system has a moving target to hit, and this is difficult.
If what you are suggesting is to alter the virus's genes and introduce an error that stops it in its tracks - sounds good. I certainly believe that many of the 'cures' for cancer thet are reported are due to deactivating genes, but I'm not sure if any are due to structurally changing the genetical makeup. Using bits of RNA to interfere with the virus's DNA/RNA sounds good but how would the ULE translate it into action? Not sure. One thing I am sure of is that we have only just skimmed the surface of what is possible, and this kind of thing could be part of the future of Reiki.

Love
Chris

Otoharo!

I am so glad that reiki does not rely on my head to figure these things out. I find that reiki is feeling oriented, that is, as in heart feelings and not emotions. My intent is to keep myself (and all this head stuff) out of the way so that reiki does what reiki does naturally in all the ways my head has no cognisance of.

finality

Chris,

EXACTLY!

I'll keep studying the RNAi literature I can get my hands on. I know it is possible to cure disease, not just treat the effects and symptoms, even for cancers - which is my main interest.

This IS the future of Reiki. DNA/RNA work is where we're headed, at least those of us who have any vision. Ki is Light, and Light is DNA. To repair genetic damage through the use of Creation's own most plentiful commodity is a dream we can realize. I know it. If it is simply making use of RNAi to fool DNA into stopping the replication of diseased/damaged cells, so be it.

Reiki will go the way of many other good things if we don't make it useful for something more than getting rid of a frigging migraine. You know?

I like the way you think, Chris, and I welcome a continued dialogue. If you want to go direct by e-mail, let me know.

Peace-out!

Ken

in my (H.O), this is getting WAY TO CLOSE TO TRYING TO 'CLONE'... DNA ETC... no way should we (I feel)interfere 'this' far, we ARE NOT GOD, just because we have Reiki...
if you feel so strongly about this path, learn to be a doctor of medicine in DNA etc..
luv wendy ann xxx

Otoharo!

zenken, I have information that cancer happens in a person who is intent upon leaving the body. This is usually the choice of the high self and not a conscious choice of the person. Can you approach your understanding from this starting point?

finality

Ken,

Hi,

You think you can meddle in such matters with Reiki? If it were possible then it would already have been done regardless of the lack of wisdom in the doing.

You have no idea of the sorts of mutations that might come out of such meddling. And who is to say that the 'processes' responsible for abberant cancers will not find ways to adapt to Reiki? Just as viruses and bacterias develop immunities to one drug after another and pass this 'resistance' on to future generations.

No, meddling with our genetic code in such an unstructured manner (not that I feel it will ever succeed by you or anyone else) is not a path of light. I suspect that the few who try this route will be buried long before any such results are ever verified (and hopefully reincarnated with more wisdom)

:)

Cheers,
