Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hi, The book, Essential Reiki by Diane Stein, gives you the symbols that you will need to know. But in order to get the attunement, you will need to get that from a Reiki teacher. Now, about this attunement. We are all natural healers, so if I were you, I would get the book and practice reiki myself without that attunement first. You may be able to do it. Holding the attunement over our heads may just be a way of Reiki Masters trying to get money from us, telling us we need it, when we actually don't. Good luck.

I was wondering what people think of the online courses and do you think it might be a good idea, if so, what school do look like they might be good school to look into. Otherwise i will have to wait this one out until later when i have a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 You can do distant healing with Reiki. I find that Matrix Energetics is much more powerful and quicker. You might go into the Matrix Energetics site and look for a practitioner near you or request distant healing. I do this but still in the learning stage.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I do several healing modalities. First I started prayer and simple sending when I joined one of the Edgar Cayce Groups. I did this for a long time and got to where I could feel energy leaving my hand and began to scan and feel the energy field of others. Next came Reiki one. I was told that when the practitioner came back to town, I could get Reiki too and learn to send energy. My reaction: I can already do that, why do I need to get a further attunement. This was long long ago when finding a Reiki practitioner was rare; not so now. And very little explanation was given then as to how it works. Does it travel along meridian lines, or the strange pathways. Does it re-align chakras that are mis- aligned. All I was told is that it goes where it needs to go. Nothing about how it changes the subtle energy bodies or the physical body. Since then I have been either a client, student, and/or practitioner of many modalities. That is not to discount or dismiss Reiki -- only to say that you do not have to be attuned in this modality to sense, send, or manipulate energy and bring about healing. Generically, you can use color, sound, light, and symbols other than Reiki symbols. Also breath work and body work to increase and direct chi to various parts of the body. And the number of named energy/alternative modalities and people teaching is legion. So what is the purpose of this post? -- to suggest that we are energetic beings and there are many ways to work with the energetic body and its systems -- the grids, chakras, auric fields, meridians, etc. Witness the work of John of God, or many medical intuitives, Donna Eden, and many others. And to ask a few questions about Reiki specifically. That said, if it were not so expensive, and if I were a regular energy practitioner, I would go for the master level Reiki but not limit my study and competence to that alone. Your post suggesting that holding the Reiki symbols over the head is interesting. If you are familiar with Emoto, you know that thoughts, emotions, and intentions do impress upon and change water. And other mind-sciences say that holding focus and having a strong clear intention sets energy in motion and directs it like a laser beam to achieve results. I would be interested in reports from any one who tries this (holding the symbols to your head with intention) -- would you have some " aha " body sensation or knowing? And here is a question for those who are advanced Reiki or master Reiki practitioners. When you get an attunement, what is the attuner actually doing to the attunee? As in opening/clearing chakras? Activating the pineal? And how does this align one with the specific healing line known as Reiki. Can you loose your attunement? What about the deceased Masters? Could they be contacted by an individual and in that way receive an attuntement -- considering that the student is " ready " -- and if that, what would " ready " mean. Is there any case of an attunement NOT taking. And why is there so much divisiveness with regard to which Master you are attuned by. Glad to see this subject discussed -- I have long wondered these things (from time to time when I meet a practioner. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I started and was guided on my spiritual path with the Edgar Cayce books. I had a inner knowing of truth with Cayce, my ideal person. Then I went to the A.R.E. in NYC, a Edgar Cayce center. I learned so much their and enjoyed their Sunday gatherings and guest speakers. Actually everyone is a healer, we just have to believe in ourselves to heal. I did not like Reiki because it is too complicated, I prefer simple and basic. Kundalini Reiki is simple without symbols, you just apply the energy. Online their are many who will give free attunements. Then their is Spiritual Surgery, which is simple for anyone to do. I have the free Spritiual Surgery Info. and Manual. If anyone would like it, email me and I will send it. Diane In a message dated 3/10/2010 2:25:37 P.M.
