The Reiki Cafe 

I am in need of deep spiritual healing, pscyhological healing, emotional healing, financial healing, professional healing. I feel like I've had a spiritual cancer with me for my entire adult life that I can't get rid of. It causes disruption in the work place, conflicts, jealousy, envy, abrupt endings in profession, relationships, and above all, it blocks any and all forms of intimate relatinships hoped for.

I am extremely miserable and do not have the enormous faith I used to harbor. I don't even know what I believe spiritually speaking anymore.

Dear Curley,

I don't think Reiki is what you need. It sounds to me as if therapy, and possibly treatment for depression is more in order.

Blessings,
Roxy

Hey honey, *hugs you warmly**
Bless you!
The very first thought I had with you was that you don't let yourself FEEL your feelings. Its one thing to wallow in them because you don't know what else to do but its almost like your living in misery by route.
Sit in meditation one day and ask yourself what you are feeling sad about, miserable, etc.. Take each feeling and separate it into a differnt memory so you can let it go...
The question is,
Can I allow myself to have this thought, then the feelings that go with it??
Then let yourself feel what ever this feeling is that is associated with the thought.
Because what is happening at this time is your having lots of thoughts racing around in your head making you miserable but your constantly shutting them out and not letting the process unfold.
I promise you if you give them only a minutes time to reflect on the feeling and then ask the prompting question-
Can I let this feeling go now? ( Hopefully you are in a Yes frame of mind!) you will complete the energetic thats keeping this tied to you and it will release..
So, suppose you ask yourself as an example..

I yelled at my son today and I feel guilty.. I said, "you never take out the trash when I ask you and you are lazy, your grounded"!!
So, your sititng with the feelings all this brought up in you.. Guilt for losing control, sadness, shame, tension because you have just shut down communications with your son.. So, what to do..
You think of the feelings you have over your mind recreating that in your head.. Sit with the FEELING of sadness, regret, shame guilt, self hatred, whatever.. Let yourself feel it..
Then ask yourself.. Can I let this feeling go? Yes, is your reply and then you Just feel that energetic releasing and flowing out your feet..
Ok, so now say you do that but you don't feel anything?

Now ask yourself.. Can I let myself HOLD this energy for a few more moments? Yes.. Always Honour what your really feeling!!
Maybe its fear..
SO let yourself feel this.. Now ask again..
Can I let this feeling go? Yes.. Feel it release and then move onto another painful feeling/memory you have.
Always, always, always be where you are.. You cannot control a feeling unless you can accept that your even having that feeling, they just are.. You have to honour them by feeling them to let them go..

I hope you read this and understand where I'm coming from. If you have anymore questions regarding this teqnique you can write to me and I'd be most happy to help you more and give you the name of a book that can help you with this tecnique too.
In the mean time, I'm holding you in the light and sending healing energies your way.

Love you always,
Jahnavi

Thanks for your feedback Janovi. I'll practice that technique. Sounds like wonderful, practical advice.

Yes, I need spiritual healing first and last. I've been assaulted by spiritual forces and it has damaged chakra centers. I don't need Reiki from you because you lack empathy and insight into the situation.

I do appreciate your responding though. Thank you.

Dear Curley,

Your request for no Reiki from me is respected.

But on the contrary, I have plenty of empathy. What you are going through sounds quite like I did earlier in my life. I'm giving it to you straight as to what I feel would be most helpeful in your situation, based om my own experience.

As a matter of fact, just recently I went through a very painful time, and attributed it to being spiritual. It turned out that all I needed was an increase in my anti-depressant, and a chance to talk over what was going on in my life.

Sincerely,
Roxy

curley,

- perhaps spend some time being mindful of the important differences between pain and suffering

Fire, that is an interesting note. Yes, we tend to clump pain and suffering together, don't we? And yes, they are two separate components. right now, I"ve had to place my kids temporarily in a christian foster home and am experiencing deep emotional pain, which has translated into phyisical pains or soreness, but yet, I am not "suffering" mentally or emotionally because I know I've done the right thing. Everything is falling into place as it should be and I do possess that peace of knowing, and the peace is attaching to the pain, and opposed to suffering. And it feels strange because usually with deep psychological or physical pain, follows the suffering. So, your note is strange but well timed.

Thanks for responding.

Roxy, thank you for responding again. Yes, I know have developed depression that does require treatment, and when I was working I was getting the treatment for it. Oftentimes, depression develops from chronic life issues and opposed to a genetical or biological root. But the root behind the depression, in my case, stems from spiritual. I've literally battled manifested demons, and I've had one on my tail for quite some time.

In any event, depression, therapy, and a good spiritualist and developing good meditative techniques are all things I need.

But yes, I am feeling the rays of the moon guiding me through the darkness, so whoever is sending me Reiki healing, and prayers, I appeciate it. My mind is clearing up.

Thanks for your input Roxy. I do appreciate it. You are correct, in that we cannot discount practical assistance such as medication for depression and a good person to talk things through with.

Blessings.
