Forgiveness and letting go are important ideas in energy healing.Reiki greatly enhances our capacity for forgiveness, and facilitates healing of the underlying causes of physical and mental problems, which are at the heart of illness.

Also, the reason for illness is a lack of recognition. A lack of awareness and presence of our essential natural. And not being able sustain that awareness.

It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.

1. Is it possible to have a private attunement from a Reiki trainer (i.e., could you give me some or any of the Reiki 1 and 2 attunements again for a fee)?

So, I believe this question is coming from an already-attuned Reiki practitioner, and you are wondering if you can be re-attuned at level 1 and or level 2?

Among Reiki Masters and Teachers, there are different schools-of-thought about the subject of receiving additional attunements. Some believe it is unnecessary to receive additional attunements, but I believe the majority of Reiki Masters and Teachers believe that additional attunements, if requested for the appropriate reasons, can be very helpful for one’s personal and spiritual journey. Also, there is much historical information that has been recently revealed that suggests that Mikao Usui gave regular attunements or REIJU to his students.

I believe it is important to understand one’s motivation for seeking additional attunements. It is easy to become addicted to the “Reiki high” that can follow after the attunement process. Therefore, many students may only seek additional attunements for the thrill factor, in which case, no harm may be done, but the deeper function of the attunement would go unappreciated.

The purpose of the attunement is to remove the energetic obstacles that keep one from realizing his or her inherent connnection to life. If one has been committed to one’s personal and spiritual growth and using Reiki in his or her daily life, additional attunements would most likely accelerate one’s growth and healing.

If you would like additional attunements, there are teachers out there who will offer them to you! Search your own heart to learn what is best for you.

2. I can feel the energy when putting my hands on myself or an object, but when I send Reiki energy to my desires (all the desires written on pieces of paper in my box), how does sending the energy to the pieces of paper also send energy to the desires themselves? Thanks if you can clarify this.

I have often asked myself this question, as I attempt to wrap my mind around Reiki and the process of healing. The following is my current understanding of the distance-healing process.

When I send Reiki to my desires for support, healing, balance, success in projects, etc., I often feel the energy flowing within me as if I were giving myself a hands-on treatment. When I feel this flow, I intuitively know that the Reiki is working on opening and healing the places within my own being that need it in order to bring about the fulfillment of the desires that I have written on my piece of paper. Reiki is intelligent, and it understands the essence of my desires. The words on the piece of paper are merely a tool to help me become focused and set my intention. Then Reiki knows exactly where to go in order to bring a harmonious result for all concerned. So, in essence, I’m not sending Reiki to my desires; I’m sending Reiki to myself to help me manifest my desires!

When sending Reiki for your desires, requests for healing, goals, etc., observe the flow of Reiki. Tune-in to the energy and see if you can intuitively know where the Reiki is flowing. See what your own inner wisdom has to say about this mysterious process.

What do you think? What is your feeling about the distant healing process? Do you think it is better to receive ongoing re-attunements for Reiki 1 and/or 2?

Pamela Miles, a Reiki Master with 30 years experience in complementary and alternative medicine, is the author of the new book Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide (Jeremy P. Tarcher/Penguin, 2006). The book explores the history, nature, practice, and science of Reiki, a gentle, hands-on healing modality that is sometimes recommended by Dr. Weil. These excerpts are from the chapter, “Reiki in Family Life.”

I found this article first at Reiki Digest

Walking with D. tonight (my wife Donyo) we were chatting about what she thought I should write about on Reiki Blogger.

She had some great suggestions including: Reiki and palliative care (which I have been thinking about for some time. But, it is going to be a long post, and needs lots more research) Documentation (case/client notes) for treatments, what is a good model to follow. (We will also have a look at Reiki and the Law in relation to your duty of care as a Reiki Healer)

But, the winner in the end was her suggestion of the 2 most common ailments we have been treating with Reiki lately. And I would love if you have had some success with giving Reiki for any particular ailments, if you would leave a comment for the Reiki Blogger community to read.

1 Insomnia.

Which, links in a little to a previous post about Reiki and dreaming. In that it is the same principles that apply in treating Insomnia with Reiki as does using Reiki to enhance dream recall and lucid dreaming.

Which is that you give yourself a Reiki treatment before bed. The only difference being that if you wake for periods in the night, you then also give yourself a short (20 mins) Reiki self treatment.

Obviously, to follow this advice you need to receive the Reiki 1 empowerment. But, if you are lucky enough to have a partner who has Reiki 1 and is willing to help you with your sleep difficulties, someone else giving you Reiki is great too.

Not only does the Reiki help relax your brain wave functioning, which facilitates sleeping, and also help to heal the energetic cause of the sleep difficulties, your mind also becomes accustomed to being in a relaxed state when you are about to sleep, and during times you stir during the night.

2. Joint stiffness.

This is a common one with older clients. Also, particularly good if you are working with the elderly, in Nursing Homes for example. Reiki is excellent to bring into Nursing Homes, where human contact is so limited. It can also restore a warm and friendliness to a clinical atmosphere.

As with the majority of Reiki treatment examples there is little or no research data to point to which can suggest scientific logic for the success Reiki has with certain ailments. So, for this one, let us just say that “perhaps” Reiki helps restore better energy circulation and connection. Relieving and soothing some old aches and pains.

I have been reading LifeHack for a little while now, it has alot of different, and interesting posts.

Today I found this post, about how to start your day at 5:00am.

The key points are summarized below:

1. Relocate your alarm clock. Somewhere out of reach.
2. Scrap the snooze. Do not keep hitting the snooze button.
3. Change your buzzer. So you do not get de-sensitized to the sound.
4. Make a puzzle. Make yourself do a puzzle (like undoing a combination lock box) to stop yourself hitting snooze.
5. Get into a routine. The best tip.
6. Have a reason. The second best tip.

Karuna is a Sanskrit word that means compassionate action and this is not an ordinary kind of compassion, but one that comes from an unbounded sea of love. This is the kind of compassion that when combined with wisdom can take one to enlightenment. And once enlightened, all those who have followed this path are compelled by the great love that has grown in their hearts to turn their attention toward reducing suffering and helping others to become enlightened also. The beings who have followed this path and reside in this unbounded sea of love have unlimited power and at the same time unlimited kindness. They have mastered Karuna and because of this are its emissaries. They act like beacons sending unlimited healing potential into every part of the Universe.

We have been having lots of problems with the reiki shop, so we have taken it down and put back up the Amazon shop.

If you would like to order a reiki mala in the mean time please feel free to email me.
