My feelings on the issue of permission are that it occurs on more than one

level... there is:

 

verbal permission with energetic permission

verbal rejection with energetic permission

verbal permission with energetic rejection

verbal rejection with energetic rejection

 

If either of the former two occur, the energy may be utilized by the person's

system as needed. In the latter two, the energy will not " connect " and will

simply return to Source. Yes, a person may verbally accept assistance, but for

some reason their system reject it at a higher level! I would be reluctant to

offer energy to a person who has verbally rejected it, except in the form of

prayer.

 

In the case of a person who cannot verbally accept or reject the energy (such as

a

comatose patient or an infant) I send the energy and ask my guides to obtain

permission at a higher spiritual level from the person. I do not feel there is

an

ethical violation if there is permission obtained at the verbal or the energetic

level.

 

There are far more things happening on too many levels to reduce this to an

issue

of express verbal permission. In the case of distance healing with Reiki, you

are

offering a source of energy, not actually removing the dis-ease from the person,

which would be an invasive violation of their karma and yours. What they do

with

that energy is up to them and may be based on several factors, including the

reason they are ill, which may be their lesson, not necessarily something that

has

to be " cured " .

 

Hope this helps.
