I was initiated into Level I Reiki yesterday. Class began at 9:00 am and consisted of only two students: a native Las Vegan, Kimberly and me. The Reiki master, Amy, likes to keep the class small so it flows fast and smoothly.
First, Amy discussed the history and practice of Reiki. Following that Amy conducted the atunement ceremony beginning with Kimberly and then me. The ceremony allows you to become a receiver of Reiki energy from the crown chakra and out through the palms of the hands. As a result the palms become sensitive to subtle changes in energy. After the atunement Amy asked us if we experienced anything during the ceremony. Kimberly experienced colors. I didn't experience anything. Amy said, "It doesn't matter if you have an experience or not, you still have Reiki."
Then we began a practice Reiki treatment. It began with me treating Kimberly. As I put my palms on her head, I felt a surge of energy near her right ear. Amy said that was near the jaw that was broken. Amy and I moved our hands over Kimberly's body from head to toe, staying approximately 3 minutes at each position. Kimberly reached a deep state of relaxation.
Next was my turn to be treated. I told Amy where the pain in my body was: arthritis in hands, left knee and pain in left ankle. When Kimberly got down to my left ankle she felt the energy pushing away. (It could be that the leg has been sore for so long that my subconscious is fighting the healing.) But when she moved over to my right foot, the energy started flowing. I began to see little orange circles form, disappear and reform.
When I retured home and went for a short walk, I noticed that all the colors in nature seemed to intensify.
Following the ceremony, a 21 day cycle begins where changes occur in the body.
I woke up this morning and weighed a 1 1/2 lb less. Is it due to Reiki? I don't know.
You might not be ready to become involved in Reiki practice at the present moment. Some of us have very closed minds and at that stage I wouldn't recommend anyone to get involved in Reiki. Most likely a person with a closed mind wouldn't like the idea of it anyway. There's an old saying in Asia that goes: "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

I don't know if it was the Reiki but that was some mighty fine TD'ing in getting the round started smoothly Thursday.
ReplyDeleteIt appeared as though someone tried to take credit for it. This person asked to speak and just took over. I was kinda shocked and I didn't want to create a scene in front of everyone so I let it go on. But I almost had to stop him because he was reading all day long. I think most of the audience was literate and can read for themselves. Personally, I find it insulting when someone reads to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm not there to take credit, but it kinda makes me feel bad when something like that occurs. My only purpose is to make sure the tournament runs smoothly and not to take credit for it. My opinion is that the tournament ran smoothy in spite of me.
I set everything up and had only a small problem with the matching that I could correct after the tournament. It can be a hassle when someone else is over your shoulder. But my major issue was not that someone stood over my shoulder, it was the fact he asked to speak and just took over. I didn't appreciate that. I suppose things ran so smoothly (not because of us) that he wanted to jump in and take credit.
I might just inform this person to step aside next time, or even offer to let him to run the show if that's what he wants.
So, if talking to this person doesn't work, don't be surprised if I just walk out and dump it in his lap.
I hear you. The chess club as I'm sure you're well aware is full of characters, misfits and oddballs, myself included. The social skills vary from high level to downright frightening. Strangely enough, I feel a sense of comradery even with those downright frightening ones. I try and keep things in perspective and humor them, or at least I try not to take them too seriously. For some of them, I'm not sure if they're all there which makes it easier for me to forgive them. I know they can be irritating sometimes but they mean well. (I think)
