The Reiki Thread :-)

im curious what peoples thoughts are on the general value of reiki, the publicizing of the symbols, the idea of self attunements, the reiki levels, reiki guides and the different interpretations of reiki eg japanese vs western vs reiki plus ect

overall the thread is tl discuss all thing reiki if anyone is interested

at the momet i am especially curious about the opinions of those who have a few years of reiki under their belt as it were and how much you use it in life

i got reiki 1 and 2 attunements around 2000

i got another reiki 1 quite a few years later and i actually felt like the reiki didnt flow as strongly after that

im wondering if anyones ever had that kind of experience?

I dunno... I've just never been able to feel energy... :dry: So, even though I've been attuned, I don't have anything to show for it. Honestly, I wish I did have some kind of proof for laying on hands healing. But, I've never been able to feel anything after receiving or sending it.

wow that gives me a ton of questions i want to ask - probably way more than you would like to answer so i want to throw out a bunch of stuff with the preface that if theres nothing here that doesnt strike any chord as maybe being relevant then dont worry about it but if theres anyting that does give you second thought then maybe explore that
at least experiment with it on your own if not discuss it here

also, i havent practiced actively in years and i am very likely forgetting something important so hopefully someone with more recent experience might jump in

anyway here are the first things that jump to my mind

i present them as questions because thats the way they came to me but dont worry about answering anything unless something particular stands out as being maybe relevant

how many attunements have you had/what level?

how well do you adhere to the reiki principles?

are your fingers together or open some or splayed out and are your thumbs poking out like a hitch hiker or lined up with your hands?

do you lay your hands flat or are they cupped?

do you experiment with the space between your hands andthe treatment surface? how close are your hands to the surface?

do your hands touch each other?

do you wear jewelry?

do you only use reiki on yourself or do you treat others?

do you recieve reiki from others?

do you ever put your tongue to the roof of your mouth?

how do you breath when you access reiki?
do you use or regulate your breath in any specific way?

internally, do you keep your inner dialogue going or do you silence your thoughts?

do you have any visualizations that you use?

do you have any particular FEELING that you access or any mood that goes along with the treatment experience?

do you drink alcohol very much?
since you sing i would guess youre not a big cigarette smoker?

do you ever fast?

do you smudge or use any kind of energy purification ritual on yourself and/or your room before doing treatments/using reiki?

do you do any other energy activities like qigong/tai chi
or chakra meditations?

especially with the idea of chakras, do you focus on any chakra area when you access the reiki energy?

do you use the symbols?

does it actually matter enough to be worth answering a bunch of questions?

is this too many?

have you ever gone cow tipping?

whats your favorite scary movie?

who would win in a fight between bill gates and bill murray?

which do you like better; hands or feet?

when you eat macarroni and cheese do you prefer a spoon or a fork?

did you know that all state insurance has a disclaimer that says "not available in all states"?

why is it that that you can always find girls with big boobs working at hooters but you never see people with one leg working at IHOP?

does anyone else have any awesome ideas?

Ms Adder did a level 1 about 20 years ago, and I've always been able to feel various levels of energy from her (including pain), besides the odd kick in the shin or smack across the back of the head
:blink:
She does not practice it, as she doesn't like channeling energy through lineages of person and rather just connects directly to a 'source', instead just channeling a pure intention of healing love.

As a active reiki master I would certainty answer all questions asked but as I am not a knight I do not want to be dinged for teaching.

Hannigan, answering questions and having conversations are different....

"Teaching" involves lessons and assignments, "grading" and such....

Discussion doesn't count, generally...

Tone, attitude, etc, etc....

If you feel like you are lecturing, it might be close, lol...

I don't see the relevance of this post...

If this is a remark to fire up Hannigan and get him in trouble with his reply, then consider it noted who remarked first...

If this is a friendly jab, then disregard this comment if mine... As long as both parties are aware please...

Hannigan, if you can offer some insight into why the reiki doesnt seem to flow as well after i received a second reiki 1 attunement i would be very greatful

i was told specifically that if it had any effect at all it would be to make the reiki stronger

No . . I really don't want to fire anyone up . . .

I don't know Hannigan . . but he did say he was interested in answering all the questions that were posted and I don't think this one belongs here . . .

I was trying to draw attention to the question versus ANY one.
