Hey can anyone explain to me what celtic reiki is thnx

raja,

Hi,

As far as I can tell, it is Reiki with a brogue LOL (though there really are not a whole heck of a lot of words needed when doing Reiki even if one is a Gaelic speaker)

;)

Cheers,

RC

thnx

I think there are some haggis-lovers out there who might have a perspective?

Well now,

being a Celtic, Gaelic Yorkshireman and a Reiki practioner, I suppose I must practice Celtic Reiki!!

My good buddy Jaguar is Irish so he must practice Celtic Reiki as well.

bagl.

and being a haggis basher to boot - ye canna beat a good freshly caught haggis, boiled into submission and eaten wi' bashed neeps and champit tatties

raja2,

Seriously though, my understanding of Celtic Reiki is that it is essentially traditional Usui Reiki which is complemented by the healing properties of the vibrations from plants and trees.The early Celts attached great importance to trees and plants and the Ogham alphabet dating from the 4th century is often referred to as the Celtic Tree Alphabet.

If you google search on Celtic Reiki, there is a wealth of information out there.

Hope this helps a little.

Celti Reiki,

Thank you for your explanations.

- I am fairly certain that my friend Hamish the Haggis is quite at ease knowing he migrated to Canada

bagl, bagl, bagl

- and, I am sufficiently discrete not to discuss my occasional penchant for a bit of haggis in his presence (though slow to anger, the wrath of a Haggis is to be avoided if at all possible)

Salut, mon cher frere!!

Indeed, the wild haggis can be an obstreperous wee beastie.

In my haggis hunting days, I found that the best way to catch them, seeing as how they have one leg shorter than the other, was to drive them off the mountain and onto the flat, where they just ran around in circles!!

When they got stroppy about their imminent demise, I found that yelling "neeps and tatties" at them would quickly induce abject surrender to their fate.

Bagl, bagl, bagl.

Tell Hamish to keep a low profile in January though - there are a lot of Gaels in Canada!! He might consider a winter holiday on the North Slope - his chances with oil-men and polar bears will be considerably better than with a rampant Gael, hungry for his ancestral haggis!!

Bagl, bagl, bagl.

As to Herself? Having finished the wedding dress, she is now hard at work down in the Studio, making something for herself to wear. I, of course, will be wearing traditional dress, so no problem for me.

never had a haggis.

~But I'm not complaining. lol.
Being Irish doesn't mean I do Celtic reiki, though I find that sometimes the use of the ol' futhark can give it a bit of a twist.

I think the term celtic reiki is somewhat missleading. It does well to google.

>Being Irish doesn't mean I do Celtic reiki

Also being Irish, I too have never had haggis :)

Likewise, I don't do 'Celtic Reiki' :)

>..though I find that sometimes the use of the ol' futhark can give it a bit of a twist.

Futhark?

Personally, I think 'Celtic Reiki' is itself a 'bit of a twist'

but 'Celtic Reiki' with Futhark Runes instead of Beithluisnion Ogham?

That's just going a little too far :))

Celti Reiki & Haggis what an interesting combination.

Trees certainly are a part of the earth's energy
so it seems that Celtic Reiki could be a cultural
addition. Reiki uses Universal Life Force Energy.
It would seem to me as Irish as I am that I would
like to capture all energy and not confine or block
other diverse energies passing through. That is not
to say that those who believe in Celti Reiki are not
in tune with healing energies.

I've gotten over God made the Irish # 1... even if she did.

- there are some (mostly) Scottish Gaels in my neck of the woods but my impression is that even in this community haggis gets the big "ugh" and other expressions of 'distaste'

- so Hamish will occasionally winter here with little concern for his safety (even though Alabama does rank very high in per capita gun ownership)

- also, Hamish says that the Canadian Gaels, for the most part, also have minimized their haggis consumptions and are more 'nature' friendly than they used to be (including toward rarer forms of life)

- glad all is well, your way!!

A Peadar, a chara,

Aaye!!

We are all fine here, if a little cold after the mediterranean temperatures of the last few days!! Still, we are talking an English summer!!!!!

Bagl.

Yes, as long as Bubba doesn't realise how tasty haggis is, Hamish should be reasonably safe in Alabama!

Which leaves all the more for thee and me!!

Hope you and the Mouseketeers are coping!!

- with the amount of work involved in proper haggis (and acquiring the genuine ingredients) I suspect few of the locals will go that route favoring rather Burger King or Kentucky Fried chicken or take-away chinese

- bagl, bagl, bagl

- the Three Mouserteers and I get along brilliantly (if not famously)

Ah, Mr. Firekeeper,

The discussion has turned once again to haggis, and all's right with the world.

Rock On!

My Dearest Ms. Roxanne,

- yep! A portion of haggis and some drams and then a bit of friendly snipe hunting, I dare say!
