Hello,

 

At the outset, wish every one a very happy new year!!!

 

I would like to answer Denis's query a little differently. Yes, it is

difficult for us to distinguish feelings from intuition. However, feelings

are colored, intuition is not. So, witness your feelings. Analyse them and

see the motive behind that feeling. Probably you will then end up with most

of the feelings resolving themselves and you will get a clear plan for

action. And as you do this, your mind gets clearer when intuition which is

the clear mind starts coming through better. Wish you all the best.

Just to avoid confusion though I am an Indian, I am not a Sanyasi or a

Mystic. My name comes from one of the Major Hindu Deities. I have truncated

the messages so that your mailbox is less cluttered. Thanks.

Hello group,

 

This has reference to Monica's mail. I replied to her off the list, since

the issue may not be of much interest to others. Now I found a reply from

Reiki Master Laura, which in my humble opinion, is absolutely relevant. I

learnt Reiki (upto 2nd degree) and as she rightly said, it opened some real

issues and physical health became less important. I, especially believe in

Karma, (OK, destiny, fate if you prefer) and so physical suffering was

found to be needed at that point of life, since major modification in life

were needed. So, as Laura rightly said, anything and everything in God's

creation including Reiki can heal (it is God healing through that agency)

if what is to be healed is needed to be healed for further progress.

Homeopathy, Bach Flower and other Flower Essences, Crystal Healing, Aroma

therapy, Yoga, Meditation, Magnetotherapy... yes, i have studied all of

them at some time. And yes, i do believe any of them can heal. if the time

comes.

 

I am posting on the list since the principles involved are general. And

yes, Laura, thank you for putting it into a good perspective.

 

s.v.swamy,

>Reiki is a very powerful healing method. But, like any method of healing,

it does have its limitations. And it's important to determine if the person

in question actually *wants* to be healed.

>

>I know, you're saying, " who on earth wouldn't want to be healed?! " But

think about it for a minute. Whenever someone is ill, and comes to me for

treatment, I always ask them what their illness gives them. When a busy mom

comes down with a bad cold and has to spend the day in bed, that illness is

giving her a chance to rest and take a break that she otherwise might not

take.

>

>When someone with a chronic illness joins a support group, they often find

a whole lot of friends and emotional support that they would not otherwise

have if they did not have their illness. So in a sense, their illness is

indeed giving them something good. And often people with chronic illness

have changed their lives to revolve around the illness, and if the illness

were gone, they'd be at a loss as to where to go from there. So healing a

chronic case is harder, and impossible if the person in question doesn't

really want to change their life to a large extent. It may not be obvious

to them on the surface, but their heart and subconscious know they are

happy the way they are, if that makes any sense.

>

>As well, it's important to note that *Reiki goes where it is most needed.*

I had a friend once ask me to treat her for a sore shoulder (using distant

healing, she was in NY, I am in MN.) I sent her Reiki that night, and spoke

to her the next day. She said her shoulder still hurt, but she'd been able

to deal with an emotional issue that had been bothering her for some time,

just after I sent the healing. So, in that instance, the Reiki healed the

thing which most needed healing, her emotional state, rather than her

shoulder.

>

>I don't know the particulars of your mother's case. I do know there are

more than just surface issues to deal with when someone has a chronic

illness. It's possible the R3 practitioner feels that your mom's illness

can't be cured, but just improved. And maybe that's not what you're looking

for. So perhaps he doesn't want to take the case on at all? I don't know.

>

>I do know that Reiki can work miracles, and sometimes it doesn't do a

thing. A lot has to do with the person being treated. And often, with

chronic things, multiple treatments are needed, and people aren't willing

to pay for that many treatments. When I have someone come to me with a

chronic issue (like fibromyalgia or arthritis or something like that),

rather than treat them repeatedly, I will suggest that they take the R1

course and learn to treat themselves! Much cheaper in the long run, and I

love being able to give people the power to heal themselves (I am not

interested in holding onto someone else's power.)
