The Reiki Cafe 

Hello all!

It's been a while since my 2nd degree attunement and now is the time in my life that I'm doing the most self-treatment ever. Most of the time I can't complete a full-body session. On each hand position I spend about 6 minutes and 20 minutes on problem areas. At worst, I manage to get in at least 4 hand positions per day.

From what I understand, Reiki helps us transition from one-vibrational state to the next. I feel like my life is in a state of utter turmoil, though it's hard to say whether I'm merely perceiving there to be MORE turmoil.

Alot of weird things going on too. I've been meeting alot of people from my past-- in fact they seem to appear all at once from out of nowhere!

I have become a keener observer of the reality around me but am still not able to notice much positive change in circumstances.

Where will this transitional period lead me?

PS - For a long time now, I have been having a sense of low personal power.

Dear Aum,

I suspect that you are in a period of great progress. I think what you may find is that you become aware of yourself much more as a spirit, rather than a personality. The idea of the material world as illusion may see more the reality, than so called reality.

That's the experience I had after going through such a time. It may be different for everyone. Just hang on, something good will come of it.

Blessings,
Roxy

Otoharo!

Have you yet learned to discern your ego as different from yourself? I have a hunch that it is your ego that is speaking. The ego is desperate because the earth has eliminated it. New souls being born have no ego.

Your real self is what you are looking for. Reiki is what helps us know ourselves. This is the journey home, home being yourself. While having your reiki hands on yourself, fell. Get this discernment.

In addition, we have all had to clear out all the stored emotions of the past. When the are all gone or are going, there seems to be an emptiness. Fill that with love for yourself.

I remember some of the things you discribe. The things we hear, see, are not the parts of us that are real, they are actual. The realness is in our true feelings.

Sounds like you're doing awesome-ly! Just keep at it (what else can you do?!)

I can't tell you where it will lead you, that's for each one of us to find for ourselves. When I do find it for myself, I suspect I won't be able to describe it in words anyway.

Trust yourself, and notice even the tiniest positives -- they are the seeds for great blossoming. (The negatives are the dark fertile soil they spring out of!)

Don't worry too much about describing things -- it's all metaphor anyway. You get to choose your metaphors, so choose the ones that make your heart sing.

Blessings,

Thanks.

Alot of the feelings from the past are being expressed right now. In fact, I have the opportunity to do what needs to be done to somehow "neutralize" my past feelings.

Just today, I just confessed my love for a girl -- had these feelings for more than 10 years. After telling her, she did her best to let me down easy, saying that she doesn't feel the same. Aside from a bit of embarrasment, I'm actually relieved that it all came out. So I guess my search continues.

Today, I'm going to think about what happend. Somehow understand that Reiki dissolves any fantastic plans that we have.

Otoharo!

Aum, don't thing about it, that is head stuff. stay in your feelings. Let the feelings guide you. They will unravel the old and lead you to your newness.

Thanks finality! Helps to get guidance like this. Yes, it makes sense to me as I have been trying to overanalyze this period of transition. Staying in the feelings is so much easier in fact that I wonder why I didn't do this before.

Thanks again to all!

Hi aum,

Perhaps all these things from the past are re-appearing because you now are ready for the opportunity to resolve them with the support of reiki...
