Has anyone ever had Reiki done to them. I had it once when I went for a message. I had a very nice spiritual experience. My late FIL visited me. He came to me as an English Soldier, but I knew it was him. It was his essense.
I'm thinking of taking a course to learn how to do it. My SIL invited my Mom and me to come with her to take this course.

Hi, Cara! Yes, I've had Reiki done on me a few times. The first time I had it done, it was part of a massage, and it was a very, VERY interesting experience. I remember having visions--very colorful, beautiful visions during the treatment, and the massage in general. I remember seeing a colorful pyramid, and a prism, and lots of colored light, and I believe I saw a fawn as well, and the desert and pyramids in the desert. I wound up getting mild pain/discomfort in my pelvic area, but that's a bit of a problem spot for me...a little while later, it went away. Kind of like it had to get worse before it got better, lol.
I remember the practitioner saying that people experience all different things during Reiki and everyone is different. Some people cry, some people laugh, others fall asleep, some feel nothing. I was of the near-falling-asleep to falling-asleep variety, lol.
But it was a GREAT(!) experience. I had it done again with massage, not quite a year ago, and that was really good, too. And then I had a couple of mini-treatments in April.
About 3 weeks ago, I just went for my Reiki I attunement. I was really excited about it! It's something that I've wanted to do for a really long time! I am looking forward to incorporating it into my life more and more. You're not supposed to do Reiki for others until you receive the Reiki II certification, so I"ll probably wind up doing that, too.
Cara, if it's something that you think you'd be interested in, do it! I think you'd be great at it! You're very kind, insightful, caring, and concerned about others, and I think Reiki would add a wonderful aspect to your life.
Hope you have a great day!
love,
Victoria

I had forgotten this, but it was a reply to you I made on the Hounds board Jan 31, 2004.
Barbara, I remember that!
Oh, Dustbunny!!!

I'm a Reiki Master Teacher. If you still have questions about Reiki or if you should become attuned, please ask away. I would love to help you learn about it any way that I can.

Thank you Lena!
I call myself powderbrush or brush.. (getting tired of that long name!) and I have been peering into this board a couple of times. just reading here and there.. as I didn't quite know what it was all about..
I am of double ethniticity, part Indonesian and part European, from way back when...
But I have been living in Canada now almost 37 years.
Not too long ago, I met a lady in one of my ethnic groups clubs in the Netherlands on internet.. and she says that she is a shaman in Reikki.... and she has tought me a few things ...
I don't know if they will work, and I am a rather lazy sort of person.. if I have to do something every day, well, i know I wont do it, until something happens that gets me really worried and scared, then I get to it...
However I do, do Feng Shui. Probably because of my oriental background.. I also believe in my ancestors etc.. and sometimes I see, beyond the bounds of this planet and this live...
I also have a friend down in Georgia, who has done some Reikki on herself.. and she has experienced that there is more to Reikki, than people realize... Anyway, with this that and the other, I have now found you, ladies, here talking about it... and I am curious...
So I believe that I should stick with you folks for a while at least, to see what more I can learn about it... to be better informed..
anyway, I had been wondering now for a little while, what all this Reikki stuff is about.. Don't think me un-interested please, for I am the sort of person, who thinks, that everything under the sun is worth learning about and if it helps where regular or conventioal medicine doesn't help, eh, go for it, as I do it myself..
My question is now... what have I been taught by this Lady in the Netherlands.. this is what she taught me to do...
I must sit or lye down, but not with my feet crossed. Then visualize that roots are growing from my feet and nestle into the earthe.. that then energy comes through these roots into my body.
Then I need to visualize opening the top of my head and let universal energy enter my body and when the energy from down in the earth and the one from the universe meet? I am to say: Shambala on... and I have to keep one hand on the area aroundmy navel chakra and the other at my heart chakra...
and just visualize that light energy to work in my body...
I have done it several times.. feel ok with it. but i want to know more about this.. and also she told me to ask this saint, St, Germain to explain the symbols to me.. and to initiate me into this...
If you don't mind me saying this, I have had some very bad experiences a long time ago, with demons, lucky for me, i wasn't afraid and knew how to dispose of them.. So you can understand that I don't want to be possessed again by them.. and want to know what this is all about!!
Could you kindly inform me about this, if you know about this stuff? You see, I have noticed sometimes in the country in which I grew up, that people get themselves into things.. simply because they have been somewhere and... feel that they are now, knowledgable about this sort of thing and then teach their "knowledge" to others who have no experience or ability or oportunity to find out if all this sort of thing is safe... I just don't want to get in the same position as I was many years ago and have that trouble with demons etc...
your opinions and advice will be very wellcomed by me.. and am looking forward about this Reikki etc.. and what I have told you?
greetings and regard from
brush
Hi Powderbrush,
aha!! thank you soo much for your explanation which you gave of Reiki... but now I have another question.. wat does one doe or/and how does one do it, that surrounding oneself of positive light energy?
I hear people say what you said, but nobody will tell me what it is they DO EXACTLY... so that I could learn that too...
Did you know that Reiki is often passed on from one person to another in the NLs without people having to take courses and they give those course papers and directions and informations just like that to one another... this has really amazed me... but I know that it isn't done this way here in Canada... I don't know how it is done in the US. but when I heard people talking aobut that, I was truly amazed that it is passed on that way, including the initiation is done in such a way...
Thank you also for the link, i will go there and put it in my favorites.
greets from
Brush in canada
