reiki experiences

my 21 days of self healing is up.........i am now at liberty to practice on my willing or unsuspecting volunteers!

i have bought myself a lovely purple massage couch.........i liked the colour!

i practice on my partner..........

i set the mood, pick some nice music dim the lights, find out i should have increased the height of the massage couch.........and not dimmed the lights as much as i can no longer see my notes on hand placements.

so we start.........its immediate. my hands are hot, tingly and incredibly itch in the centre of my palm of my hand.

the feeling continues throughout the session. i pick up on some cold spots and i feel the energy being drawn from my palms.

then i concentrate on the space between my hands and my partner.........erm whats that then?
a wispy, mist like substance/ light disturbance, almost bluish yellowish in colour.
is in the reiki energy? or our auras merging?

my mentor describes it exactly when i ask. she says its the reiki energy and i should try it in the dark! will do.....when i can memorise my hand placements! (actually.......these are not so important i thinks)

i ask my partner how the session felt. he said..........he felt that there were three people around him, that there were three people giving reiki........he couldn't feel it, but he felt there were two either side and one near the bottom. one was me, but he didn't know which one.

he said it was palpable, a very definite feeling.

my first instinct is............guides.

well hello then. welcome.

shamanic healing

this weekend i was lucky enough to attend a mind body and spirit event (beyond the horizons)

i attended a shamanic healing workshop.........lots of interaction, lots of drumming.
the shaman a fab women .....held a drum over me and allowed the beat to resonate through my body and my auric body.........this was to ground me........and i really felt that this was what was happening

i played spiritual hide and seek...........very fun

very interesting........... i was able to picture in my mind the meditation process before it was verbalised by the shaman.........i pictured creeping down underground steps, very earthy beneath the root of a tree...........this led out to beautiful countryside.

the shamans comments to me.............very open minded, but take a lot of convincing!.........me all over
and i need to ground myself especially since my reiki experiences......and learn to control my chakras.......

the start?

So.........Iam a nurse.......my mind is scientific i need to know the logic behind things, how something works......
and yet.........something pulls at me, my inner being. i believe in auras, they have been proven right?

i believe in crystals, their hidden energy, their earth energy, their secret.
i believe in the benefits of holistic therapies such as acupuncture, acupressure, reflexolgy, aromatherapy, massage etc etc........even if that benefit is a relaxed person therefore enabling the person to become better.

i have studied a couple of the afore mentiond and other in my past and i let them go to study nursing. now i feel they can be interlinked and no reason why i can do both............so my journey begins

 and it begins with reiki..............reiki an energy healing , hardly any touching, working within a persons energy field, their aura. (a very personal space)
i decided on this because i had an experience ten years ago working with someones aura at a workshop and i was astounded that a; i actually felt it, b; i actually felt a difference, a coldness. the person had, had a previous injury and i had picked up on it. little me, straight away............no experience necessary!.

so i meet my lovely reiki mentor, almost by accident . i went to her cafe and we started chatting. some things are meant. they happen for a reason.
i told her about my aura experience, i told her about how my hand tingled like i had two big balls of energy in them.
i told her about how i put a "white light" around my family when they were ill to wish them better. she told me she had done the same and it was a form of healing, actually known as white light healing.

she told me about reiki.
i was curious, i read a book and booked onto her course for reiki 1.

mmmm..........so the book was interesting. it told me about the use of symbols in the later stages of training and of an attunement to reiki.

i was a bit dubious of both.........didn't quite see how it would work or how i would be "attuned" to an energy.

i kept an open mind, i loved the training, met some lovely people that i hope will continue to be friends in times to come.

so.............i am attuned.......within hours i have developed ulcers and feel a bit crappy! my mentor and the book warned me this could happen.


i practice self reiki.

i practice reiki on my partner a few days later when i feel a bit better.
BANG. there it is then.............my hands are on fire and tingling like nothing on earth, i found it difficult to "turn off" the energy, the cat would not leave me alone, like i was smothered in cat nip!
my partner still has ailments, but said he could feel heat and pressure on areas of his body.

ok.............so i am a believer

i believe i always had this energy, but it has now been intensified and channelled for a good purpose
i believe every one has this energy

i believe this is  the start of a journey..........


...peace and love....emma.
dont just wait for the light to appear at the end of the tunnel....go down there and light the bloody thing yourself!!
 

a new journey?

I am hoping this is the start of something............?
The start of something that has always been inside me...........something old and something new?
