Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I have great respect for the knowledge and experience demonstrated by many on this list, so I have a question about something I know very little about. Monday I went with a friend to a reiki share for the first time. While I enjoyed the experience immensely and felt great when I got home, the next morning I woke up with flu symptoms. My friend felt a lot of "buzzing" that she had trouble getting rid of that evening. Both of us had a lot of trouble sleeping, lots of dreams, and she felt pretty miserable the next day as well. I still feel ill over 36 hours later. I'm in general good health with no major problems, but my friend is in the chronic acute stage of Lyme disease and also has fibromyalgia. Could the reiki somehow have done us both harm, or is it just simply working toxins out of our bodies? Could it be that receiving energy through several people you don't know well can cause some havoc in your system? It could very well be that I was about to get sick anyway, as both my roommate and boyfriend have been sick, I'm just concerned. We had been very excited about reiki, but now we're definitely having second thoughts. Any advice on what's going on, or anything I could do to improve the situation? Any good websites where I could read up on the subject? Thank you all- Rachel Our joy in the color of the rose is part of its beauty.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Rachel, I will try to answer your question about reiki and your symptoms. I am a reiki practioner not a master just a practioner. When I first had reiki done on me , I too felt and got the same symptoms that you describe here. I was told before hand though some of the symptoms that I might get. It seems this is a cleansing of your system and of the toxins. It will pass and once it does you will feel so much better. Reiki energy goes where it is needed and does he work that is needed too. There is nothing in the energy that can or will harm you. Reiki is after all the energy of the universe and it is something we all have in us.. So please know that once these symptoms pass you will be fine. and next time it wont be so bad.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Dear Rachel, I offer you insight into what you describe in the name of that which dwells within the heart of all who live and move and have their beingness within IT. Although not a Reiki practitioner, I have been taught the secrets of the inner fabric of life and know full well the actions underlying your experience. Let me begin by sharing with you that Reiki, although an effective tool existent within the psychic worlds, is but child's play in the comprehension of energy when one considers it from beyond the domain of matter, energy, space and time, the characteristics of duality, existing as instructional bases for man to learn of the ways of God. You have been blessed to encounter a phenomenon little known to those who practice this technique, although they carry within their instruction an understanding of the dynamic of energy exchange. Each who enters into a space where intentionality is not pure and the vagaries of the human consciousness precipitate the exchange of karmic conditions, is vulnerable to what you describe. Know that the Laws of the psychic worlds are as inevitable as those of the physical world, yet each but a glimpse of the Universal Laws of Spirit. Now to your challenge. Humble yourself and open your mind to the possibility that you have unknowingly unleashed forces within yourself and opened yourself to the swirling chaos existent within another. Past lives lived have left you a sensitivity to energy awaiting the moment to manifest when your path placed you within the appropriate context. Yet, untrained and not yet awakened from within, you have out of curiosity prematurely brought forth that which was better left to another time when proper instruction preceded your experience. Here is what I offer you for your consideration. Acknowledge within yourself that you have unknowingly placed yourself in a psychically entrapping context. Without fear or regret, embrace the moment and enter into a space of being where you can say to yourself, "I know my stillness" and with repetition explore the equanimity inherent to this state of being. Let the quietness emerge from your heart as you become aware of that which you love. Surrender what you have unwittingly accepted within yourself to the arms of Divine Spirit. Now, begin to sing an ancient love song to God, the HU, pronounced as the first syllable in human. Let the sound emerge from your heart on the out breath as you close your eyes and place your attention on the blank screen of time and space that some call the black void within their spiritual eye. Listen for the Sound of God and look for the Light of God even as your heart feels the Love of God. Do this for 20-30 minutes for the next thirty days and you will not only rise above that which you have unknowingly entered but you will also understand it from the deeper Laws of Spirit. This is not a denouncement of Reiki or any other such practice. Children play with toys as do many with the psychic forces. Some have moved through these experiences in other lifetimes and no longer need them. Our bodies are a waking dream of what occurs within our minds. There is no right or wrong but merely the silent footsteps of experience. It is all a journey home to God.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Hi Rachel, What you are experiencing is quite normal for your first treatment. It helps to drink lots of water!!!!!! Have a good soak in 1 or 2 cups of epsom salts if you like to help detox. Grounding is very good too. A couple of sites you might like to look at: http://angelreiki.nu/ryoho/ http://usui.divine-emerging.org/ Love, Brenda , RachelAnn1@a... wrote: > I have great respect for the knowledge and experience demonstrated by many on > this list, so I have a question about something I know very little about. > > Monday I went with a friend to a reiki share for the first time.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Hi Rachel, Just sharing my experience with you. I spent about 15 minutes with a woman who was adept at energy transfer after attending he lecture. In just those 15 minutes I felt charged with energy and could not sleep at all. She also told me that energy transfer involves de-codification of the body and that people who undergo a substantial energy transfer are warned against fatty meat foods, and other junk because their body will revolt on them. I wouldn't give up after one session. As you said, a lot of people are coming down with a virus infection that is going around. I wish you much progress in your journey. So Mote it be. Chalmers Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.
