Hey TC - what a good post! I find my conversation with the recipient post Reiki differs each time. If the recipient has come to me and expressed an understanding/belief in something like the chakra system or Angels or whatever it may be I respond using such terminology. However, if they come with a rather dubious mind “just to see what happens” I ask them how THEY felt and see if any conversation sparks from that - some people don’t want to talk but some will have experienced something and I can reply with “yes my hands felt very hot (energised) when I was in that area!” Most importantly, whatever I say I always ask “does that mean anything to you?” By giving the recipient the time to discover for themselves what the whole experience means for them I find people are more willing to talk about it because it gives them power, control and knowledge, taking away the fear of the unknown and showing them I am no “expert” and no more or less than themselves.

Thanks for sharing Ramsay. I think this is what I was trying to say. People find those things really hit home sometimes. I think we need to have faith that things that are “true” have their own power, and we do not need to add anything extra to them, if anything I actually think it is better if we tone it down. Be more down to earth.

I agree with you that the “intuition” can be invasive. You know how angry I can get with you over a cup of tea when you do that! And I always know its my issue; nothing to do with the things you say.

Another thing I read about in my acupuncture material is that it is important for you to link the “eastern” philosophy with something “western”. You touched on this. For example, you might think that a energy block is caused by too much anger. My material says you should say this and then say something like “… science in the west says this is the effect stress has on the heart thus decreasing blood flow” or something like that. That way people develop a sense of faith based on science as well as opening up to the fact that their anger is causing problems.

The monks in India always say “Why do westerners need to verbalize that which is plainly obvious?” Reiki works; there is nothing to tell…

According to Frank, that is exactly how Usui used to do it. Thanks for sharing :).

That’s really helpful advice. Sometimes, if I’m having trouble with focusing my awareness I’ll silently repeat the Reiki Precepts to myself and that helps me return to the task at hand - connecting with Reiki to be a conduit for my client.
