Guest guest Posted August 18, 1999 Report Share Posted August 18, 1999 Sage sez: << I went to a demonstration of Reiki. What I found, and this is not to denigrate any individual person, was pretty much what was said below. That I already possessed both hands on and distance techniques of Reiki naturally and have been using them for quiet some time consciously, and before that for about 30 years, unconsciously. >> I was told that many people are doing Reiki in some form or another without ever being attuned. No mystery-- Reiki is not something " new " that has been added to the universe. People have been laying on hands for healing forever, and sending thoughts, warm wishes and healing in the form of prayer (among others) for ever. What an attunement does is clear out the channels that we already all have within us so that those channels can conduct the energy more better. I work mostly with massage students in my Reiki classes. They mostly have some idea about energy fields and transference of energy from one being to another or from the universe THROUGH one being to another. So I don't have to spend a whole lot of time explaining this concept. You already know about it, Sage. I do think that the attunement might do something for you, though. Whatever you do could get stronger and clearer. Anukki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 1999 Report Share Posted August 18, 1999 Ah, I went to a demonstration of Reiki. What I found, and this is not to denigrate any individual person, was pretty much what was said below. That I already possessed both hands on and distance techniques of Reiki naturally and have been using them for quiet some time consciously, and before that for about 30 years, unconsciously. The other thing I found was an evolving inner circle of healers who take a great deal of pride and expense in calling themselves Reiki Master. Now this may sound like the fox with the sour grapes and I would say perhaps you are right on. I also discovered much to my chagrin that the locals here were part of the Twelve Step Program which I had been emersed in for over 15 years and was trying to break away from in order to live in the world beyond the four walls. So, the dysfunctional relationship syndrome created in that Program which is cultish in its elimination of the outer world from the inner world of THE PROGRAM at least in this community, prevails within the Reiki associated Masters. I had a tremendous experience when they performed Reiki on me, it was wonderful, but when it was over I was no longer part of THE GROUP, as I had not been earlier when introductions were made and everyone told about their excellent credentials and " qualified " their presence in the group. Your statements of your feelings gave me courage to express my seimilar sentiments. I am older, experienced, and a therapist myself, so I do not think my perceptions can be chalked up to paranoia or low self-esteem. I have seen my work benefit others and know that what I do is a good thing but I don't have a Reiki Certificate to prove it. I think I have the good sense enough to know when I am being " snookered " into the belief that Certificates qualify the possessee to something " unavailable " to the un-initiated except through the Certified, and for a healthy price. I believe in Reiki. I do not believe in Charlatans who do healing for money. BIG MONEY. Even the most gifted of healers can be a Charlatan. I believe in a smile and a gentle love that flows through the receiver and the sender without qualification.

I have been at other Reiki shares where non-attuned have given as well as received hands-on healing (regardless of Reiki status).

Guest guest Posted August 18, 1999 Report Share Posted August 18, 1999 Yes, I think that is what I was looking for, to get tuned in, not tuned out .. . . interesting that they would not allow me to participate in the administration of " their Reiki " because I had no credentials. . even though I have been interacting with a couple of the people there at home and they with me on a regular basis ..... One of my friends who had done a workshop before and paid for it was allowed to work on me but when it came his turn they would not let me help . . . I felt very letdown as I thought we would be interacting, giving as well as getting ..... oh well .....

We don't need to learn how to be this way, we need to relax into it. It's a part of us already. Loving kindness is generated when we feel the need to help others, because in helping others, we truly help ourself.
