Is Distance healing for ME??

October 4, 2000

Dear Members,

I have been reading with great interest your responses regarding

Distance Healing and whether it can be given without 'permission'.So

I have given myself permission to ask your wise opinions whether you

believe Reiki distance healing could help ME?? I am suffering

from debilitating panic attacks. Of course their crippling effect

has lead to a depression and I am on a minor dose of meds,

which seemed to help (yet somehow affected me cognitively)

and now perhaps they are not assisting me or it is time for *true*

healing. My panic attacks have been on and off for many years

yet I seemed to heal them, then major 'traumas' reactivated them.

When my marriage ended they began again and perhaps were a warning

for me not to go to Bosnia to attempt to make a spiritual film there

but my heart was totally in it, and I 'overcame' them and went yet,

came back a wreck.

MY FEAR OR CONCERN re distant Reiki for me is, could it push

up some of my traumas such as traumas of the war, perhaps the end of

my marriage - and all my other unresolved issues?? That could

be extremely difficlt to deal with if it would start exploding

in some major way. Or would it be a more balmy soothing healing

and empowering process?

I need to add that I am very spiritual and appear to be

very sensitive to all energy work - eg, I purchased the EFT

course Part One and just looking at tape one I did the tapping

just attempting to learn the recipe

and immediately put myself into an almost Alpha state, I

don't know how else to describe it!! I was so relaxed, almost

out of it, and in *no state* to do anything but wait it out for

about 5 hours !! I had a similar experience when I received a

Touch for Health treatment a few years ago. I was beyond relaxed

I could hardly make it home. What would all this mean?? Your

exerienced perspecitves and wisdom will be greatly appreciated.

I am very pulled to Reiki, and had no problem requesting sessions

for my ill parents who don't even know about it. What about me??

many thanks,

Maya from Canada

Maya:

First of all, welcome. I'd like to emphasize that what we do here is share

who and where we are, and we all come from different places, so you may have

a lot to sort through. Go with what resonates.

If you have already tried EFT and found it useful, you might also want to

try TAT, Tapas Accupressure Technique; there is only one 'hold' and I have

found it very effective for gently processing issues.

Have you tried hypnosis for your panic attacks? During a session, a

hypnotherapist can provide you with a " cue " that will help you calm down

swiftly... perhaps an image, a word, or a kinetic cue such as making a

circle with your thumb and forefinger that you can use whenever you feel

anxiety predating you.

I'd also like to suggest, in addition to allowing others to send you

supportive energy if you are open to it, that you consider taking a first

level Reiki class so that you can give yourself energy whenever you feel the

need, and on a more regular basis, say, upon arising or at bedtime. Part of

the Reiki 1 process is to work on yourself every day for 21 days after your

Attunement; this helps you " settle in " with the Reiki, and many people find

it becomes a habit after that.

Blessings, and I hope you are feeling better soon. I wanted to add that I

recently saw a documentary on HBO called " Panic " with several noted

individuals discussing their journey with panic attacks. Do not despair...

we may not control everything but we can be in charge.

Take care,

Crow
