Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 Hi, my name is Mary Anne and I am new to the group. I have a question which may seem a bit ridiculous but I read an article recently about how the water in the toilet bowl goes down clockwise in North America and counterclockwise in South America (or vice versa). I was just wondering if the hemispheres have such an effct on the body as well? - Art Despins RMT Wednesday, August 16, 2000 10:14 AM Re:Reiki Question Hi Caroline and all (Welcome to Glaucely) At 10:37 AM 16/08/2000 +0000, Jane Berrigan wrote: >When I was first taught Reiki in 1992, I was taught that the energy is a >white light, counterclockwise spiraling energy.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2000 Report Share Posted August 27, 2000 Hi Mary Anne, Welcome to the list :-) Well, I'll admit, I had to go flush for this one :-) North America - counterclockwise Hmmm, so this makes me wonder...could this " flow " be why I was originally taught that the (Reiki) energy flow is counterclockwise? Country of origin for the system is northern hemisphere, so is Takata's home place...although I cannot say that this teaching originated with them, just that it was taught to me. I wonder if the system had originated in the southern hemisphere we would have been taught that the flow is clockwise? I remember in craniosacral class it being said that northern hemisphere persons' bodies are generally rotated to the left, counterclockwise, and the opposite for the southern hemisphere persons' bodies. With that in mind, it would appear the different hemispheres do have an effect on the body. Just thinkin' out loud :-) Mary Anne Haas wrote: > > Hi, my name is Mary Anne and I am new to the group.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2000 Report Share Posted August 28, 2000 It makes sense. Coriolis force acts on water and we're 79-80% water. >Jane Berrigan <reikiskhm > > >Re: Re:Reiki Question >Sat, 26 Aug 2000 22:24:58 -0400 > >Hi Mary Anne, > >Welcome to the list :-) > >Well, I'll admit, I had to go flush for this one :-) >North America - counterclockwise > >Hmmm, so this makes me wonder...could this " flow " be why I was originally >taught that the (Reiki) energy flow is counterclockwise?

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2000 Report Share Posted September 11, 2000 Ray, That is interesting, it was just a shot in the dark I wasnt sure what kind of answer Id get thinking the energy had something to do with the heart and turning towards the left butI guess it has to do with our water content. Mary Anne I guess that brings up other issues of how we relate to the planets and moon especially - Ray Hunter Monday, August 28, 2000 7:14 AM Re: Re:Reiki Question It makes sense.
