The Reiki Cafe 

Hi,

I have kinda lost some confidence. I am attuned to level III, but have not used Reiki lately as much as I did a few years ago. My problem is: Where'd it go and how can I make its presence felt again.

Any suggestions?

The old doubts slither in.

Thanks

- no rocket science to it!

- get into a Reiki share and do some good, olde-fashioned hands-on Reiki practices (or simply work on some folks you know)

- no better way to get the juices flowing

Hey sweetie,
Bless you!! There is nothing or No Thing that can separate you from your reiki healing energy. It can't be separated from you because it is Source and you are One with Source.
Start by widening your channel of Light. That should get the energy flowing again. Also self healing will help. Get into a loving frame of mind and place hands on your heart and let the compassionate Self take over.

Read your reiki manual, or go to the library and get some reading for reiki things. Immersing oneself in the energy has to help.

Blessings,
Jahnavi

passing along some advice given to me ....
GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD
lol
feel ... be .... act
doubt and fear are part of the ego and attatchment to outcome

trust that you are that divine healing force
and put your healing hands on anything and everything
plants, animals, neighbors, food, water, friends, family, anyone and everyone you come into contact with
all the situations you find yourself in

let yourself become reiki...it's not just something you DO
or turn on like a magical power when things get bad

being attuned means that you have been synched up with the healing powers and nothing can seperate you from that except your feelings of seperate ness (which in itself is a delusion or an illusion I get those mixed up...anyway it's not real)

and even though from time to time we may wander through our existence not remembering who we are doesn't mean that the universe isn't working through us

the more you channel the energies the more your fear and doubt will diminish

know that you ARE love
and let your light shine through in everything you do
as much as you are able in this moment and THAT will be enough

blessings

p.s. thank you for the lovely post be well

Dear Techbunny,
That old saying, "Use it or lose it" only applies to Reiki as far as the perception of, the sensation of the energy flow. After being away from a group Reiki experience for some time I went to a share & was told that my hands were really hot ( I felt no heat at the time). This mimics what was witnessed with other Reiki practitioners when I was new to Reiki & active in a group.
In every moment of our lives there are chemical, mechanical, hormonal energy reactions taking place in our bodies but we are not aware of it & thank goodness for that! We would be distracted & unable to focus on other things if we were consciously aware of all of that energy.

Dust off the manuals if you need a refresher. Do some preparation work to open yourself up to the energy ( I like the Reiki shower technique but everyone has their own preference). Reiki your self, do some long distance work and/or join a share. You will be fine.

peace & joy,
holobon

SEASONS GREETINGS ALL
Great addvise every one..
When you started, you did a lot of self healing
30 days recommended and meditation.
Bath yourself in Reiki mental, phyical and spiritual.

Your concern is unfounded but a sign that the compassion is still there. Place your hands with intent and let
Reiki do the rest.

You could give yourself reiki every night before you go to sleep ... back of the head, face, throat, heart, and stomach & lower belly ... it's very soothing.

There is someone I taught reiki to who never uses it ... he thinks he has lost it, but that it "comes back" when he gets in touch with me. In reality he always has it ... other people can vouch for it ... he just isn't aware of it flowing.

BTW I heard an interview with someone who does massage therapy and reiki and cranio-sacral therapy, and he said that the reiki is always there, even when his intent is to use another modality. In short, even when you want to you can't make it go away :)

Good luck :)

Cheers,
Judith

Dear jks,
When I read, "he thinks he has lost it, but that it "comes back" when he gets in touch with me.", I had to chuckle because this is so typical of us... Your comment captures exactly what we humans do when we put one & one together & reach a conclusion. We eliminate other possibilities when we are convinced of the truth of our experience. I am reminded of that great movie, "The Gods Must Be Angry".
peace & joy,
holobon

I loved "The Gods Must Be Crazy". It's one of my all time favourite movies :)

Cheers,
Judith
