I'll try to be brief: I'm 26 years old, and the last 8 months have been amazing. In parallel with some amazing spiritual development, my psychic abilities have developed to the stage where I can read minds, see into a person's past and future, and most amazingly (for me, anyway) the ability to heal people with this same energy (I have those "hot hands" I read about!). Obviously, the healing method I use at the moment is 'magentic' rather than 'chanelled', so it takes rather a lot out of me. And yet, it's a hugely rewarding experience. I have decided to undertake to receive the Reiki attunements. I don't know where yet (I live in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of Ireland), but I know where I can find out! So why am I here? Well, in the first instance I'd love to hear from other peoples' experiences of the attunements. Secondly, I'd love to hear how reiki has affected peoples' lives. In my own case, the ability & desire to perform a 'normal' 9 to 5 job decreases as my spirituality increases. I feel a strong pull away from 'temporal endeavours' towards 'soul fulfillment'. I don't know if that means I'll turn reiki into a 'living' (that's certainly not why I want to do it), but I imagine it might make this 'pull' even stronger. I'd really love to hear how others have managed to balance the demands of living in the west with the demands of the soul.

I had very little knowledge of reiki when I discovered this newsgroup about three years ago,had never heard of distant attunements( something you might want to try) let alone distant healing. Like yourself, I lurked for a little while to get the feel of the place, I only discovered help, kindness,humour, and folks falling over themselves with offers of distant attunements,further reading and web sites to further my knowledge. I willingly took up the offers of attunements, ( owt for nowt, being a true Yorkshire man ) since that time I have also recieved further one on one attunements and attunements into differing modalities. Beware though David,this place is more addictive than any drug that man has come across : ) I cannot do without my fix these days. As to your 9-5 job, well I work shifts in a busy distribution centre as a forklift driver,have a wonderful family and a fantastic love-life( bragging) and reiki fits in effortlessly in all that I do, I cannot now imagine my life without it.

I have adjusted my view to think that with permission (conscious or unconscious) something similar is possible. i guess i think that people communicate on various subtle levels and what one might call "mind reading" is really just a heightened awareness and an ability to pick up on these subtle modes of communicating. i was wondering if you could share some experiences you were referring to that you interpret as an ability to read another's mind or clarify that further cause it's something i find intriguing. finally with regard to this paragraph: > In my own case, the ability & desire to perform a 'normal' 9 to 5 job > decreases as my spirituality increases. I feel a strong pull away from > 'temporal endeavours' towards 'soul fulfillment'. I don't know if that means > I'll turn reiki into a 'living' (that's certainly not why I want to do it), > but I imagine it might make this 'pull' even stronger. I'd really love to > hear how others have managed to balance the demands of living in the west > with the demands of the soul. i can relate completely to this. i felt this way before i became interested in reiki or any spiritual matters which is probably why i am a special education teacher and have my masters in social work. i already felt as if i had a calling but opening myself to more spiritual interests and reiki has enhanced the feeling tremendoulsy and it has become even more impoortant for me to live in keeping with my soul. i find that even in a job where i feel that i can accomplish this to a certain degree i feel a separation from what i currently do--well not what i do but how i have hisorically done it. i feel restrained by the structure of certain aspects of what i do. i also i feel a chasm between myself and the environment and many of the people with whom i work, not merely because i have always felt different from the people around me, but now on a deeper level i feel an urge to express something in myself and to communicate about it with others who are on a similar path or who have an understanding of where i am coming from. (on the other hand i do feel more of a connection with many of the children, i suppose because they live more honestly and are less removed from the callings of their souls). i am currently reassessing what exactly my calling is and where my journey will take me. i realize it will unfold naturally but i do feel myself moving on shortly. more and more i feel a sense of urgency to follow other directions. i do struggle myself with how to balance "the demands of living in the west with the demands of the soul" because i find myself pulled towards much more natural ways of living, eating, clothing myself, interacting with the environment around me yet i don't have a real understanding of how to incorporate these things and i feel pretty locked into a way of living that isn't always in keeping with the new thoughts and feelings i have. the change is slow. for me the kind of change that feels necessary to me requires more support and some kindred spirits to learn from and share with. i guess that is what is nice about a group like this. you can find some of that here if you have trouble finding it geographically. well i have gone on quite enough. no advice for achieving the balance, just an admission of similar concerns. i guess i think that it will happen gradually with intention. i think it's something that just needs to be integrated into our daily experience and i think that as we follow our intuition and our soul the balance will find itself. be well. thanks for sharing. ginger. > > ###### From: "dmo" Newsgroups: alt.healing.reiki Subject: Re: Reiki in life Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2004 01:34:51 -0000 Lines: 12 Message-ID: References: NNTP-Posting-Host: 217.137.184.27 X-Trace: news.uni-berlin.de 1073698515 9780119 217.137.184.27 ([205301]) X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165 Path: redlance.franklin.ch!pfaff2.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!irazu.switch.ch!switch.ch!news.belwue.de!fu-berlin.de!uni-berlin.de!217.137.184.27!not-for-mail Xref: redlance.franklin.ch alt.healing.reiki:12711 Thanks to everyone for your replies :-) I did start typing a reply - detailing the spiritual/psychic development - but I realised after I started that it was going to be a length document (mini-autobiography!).

To summarise that post, I'm a psychic guy who's interested in receiving the reiki attunements. Several people replied to the post, expressing curiosity about the development of my psychic abilities. I had (wrongly) assumed that most reiki practitioners would probably be psychic, so I hadn't anticipated any interest in my own abilities. I promised I would reply with some more detail. So I started typing, and typing...and typing...then I realised it was going to take slightly longer to talk about it than I had planned ;-) I must confess some selfish interest here - it's the first time I've actually sat down and put that chapter of my life into words, and - as such - it was very useful for me. Unfortunately, it also means it was very difficult for me to compress into a small number of words! However, since things have been quiet around here lately, I hope no-one will mind ;-) It will take around 15 minutes to read, and it talks about how my psychic abilities developed, and the nature of these abilities, along with some parallel spiritual development/experiences. I hope that by sharing this experience someone will be inspired to develop their own psychic abilities. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone might have about the story, and I'll try to do so in less than 3,000 words ;-) Love & Light David ***** I don't want to write a ego-polishing mini-autobiography, or to boast about 'skills' or 'gifts' which we all have access to. Nor am I saying that 'this is the best/only way to do it'. It just happens this is what I did, the path I followed, which brought me to this place. I do not claim to be any 'superior' or 'inferior' to anyone else, because we're *all* amazing, if only we could all come to realise as much. At the outset, it's probably worth saying I had a 'normal' western upbringing in Ireland - a pinch of religion, a dash of fear, and a generous helping of pride. All the wrong ingredients to make a happy life! My first psychic experience came in my 14th year. I'd just organised a table quiz in the village hall, and afterwards I had arranged for the headmaster of the local school to present the various prizes. After the event was over, he came up to me and shook my hand. In that moment, I could feel something. It felt like he was saying 'goodbye, it's your turn now'. There was this amazing transfer of energy, like static electric only stronger. To this day, I can remember it so clearly. When I returned home that night, I told my mother "I don't think I'm going to see that man alive again". The next morning, at 10.45am we got a phone call. He had died that morning at breakfast. After that first event, I can recall at least two instances where I had premonitory dreams. In the first instance, I remember little about the dream, but I remember waking up with a very clear feeling: that my family was in danger. Three or four days later, there was a bomb attack (this is Ireland, after all) on the village near where I live. My mother, aunt, uncle and two cousins were within 100 metres of the attack site. Amazingly, none was injured. The second instance came in my A-Level years. I had this dream where I received my exam results. I was in bed, asleep, when my mother comes in with the envelope. I open it, I can feel the disappointment at the results, and I go back to sleep. Some two years later, 'so it came to pass'. If nothing else, these events taught me to believe such things were possible. What caused them, what reason, where they came from.was less clear. During my brief taste of university life, I asked many questions of myself. It was probably at this point I made the conscious decision to drop my 'christian' upbringing (which was already hanging by a thread), and adopted an atheist viewpoint. I concluded that these psychic experiences were an example of 'human potential'. After one year at uni, I started my own business. Obviously, all spiritual and psychic considerations took a back seat! Nonetheless, I can recall two (funny) psychic experiences. On one occasion, I was just about to boil a kettle when the faces of some customers popped into my head. And sure enough, over the course of the day, those people turned up! On another occasion, I had this 'feeling' a friend had just arrived home from university. He had not mentioned anything of it to me, so I was a little puzzled. I rang his parents' house, and I was told he had arrived about 30 seconds before my call! Some five years later, I decided self-employment wasn't for me. The rat race had left me in physical, mental, and spiritual ill-health. However, fate had kindly left me a safety net. Like most westerners, I had a 'regular' washed-up-christian-turned atheist-one life-pharmaceutical approach to life. I had no knowledge of other religions, cultures, philosophies. Thankfully, I did have an interest to learn. And it was my good fortune to meet some interesting people - a family - who became the best friends I could ever have wished for. Most significant was the matriarch, who was interested in alternative medicine. She introduced me to such things as reflexology, herbal remedies, aromatherapy and so on. Moreover, she had a great fascination for Tibetan Buddhism. I must say I was a 'hard sell'. I really didn't feel 'comfortable' with the alternative medicines - how could a 'simple' herb kill that disease? Or how could someone's foot tell you that their liver is damaged? As for Buddhism, my first reaction was "oh that's quaint". Little did I know. At some point, I was lent an amazing book. The sort of book that changes a person's life: "Modern World, Ancient Wisdom" by the Dalai Lama. It isn't a book on Buddhism - far from it. Rather, it is the 'application' of Buddhist principals to the sort of problems westerners face. As the Dalai Lama readily admits, there is nothing 'new' between the covers. However, 'knowing ' something and seeing it 'applied' are two different things, and this is where his genius shines. And this triggered the most amazing change in my life. I spent a year 'rebuilding' myself, at all levels, incorporating many Buddhist principals along the way. My spirituality, hitherto abandoned like a non-compliant Y2K computer, began to grow. Instinctively, I began to meditate every day (though I didn't know it was 'meditation' I was doing!), a practice which helped me achieve a blissful serenity. Suddenly, I was seeing the world with different eyes. I was enjoying waking up, seeing the sun rise and set, listening to the birds, the wind, the trees in autumn. The smile was back on my face - la vie était belle. It would be fair to say that one year was not sufficient to repair all the damage, and to complete the rebuilding. It is ongoing to this day, and will take many more years I am sure. While all this was going on, I can't recall any psychic 'events'. I guess the 'powers that be' decided I had enough to deal with. In fairness, I was still somewhat sceptical about the nature and extent of psychic powers. With confidence renewed, and a spring in my step, I returned to work. Everything was flowing nicely, and then in mid-2003 strange things started happening. First of all, the amazing dreams returned: everything from a premonition of a world war, a future daughter, right through to 'advice' on careers for me. I would look at a photograph of someone, and their eyes would tell me their story. I could tell if the person was shy, confident, tidy, family-minded and so on. I tested the theory on the internet, going into chat rooms and analysing people on the basis of a photo (the attraction being I didn't know anything about them, and I could double-check my readings). Then I discovered I didn't always need a photo. On one occasion, I was chatting to a person for some 10 minutes when I began to realise I 'knew' things about him: that he was in debt, had relationship problems, and a daughter who didn 't live with him. Then the most bizarre thing happened: after I told him these things (which were correct), he started reading me! The hunter became the hunted! At one point, we were exchanging what we'd both seen about this future world war. I must say, I was scared.this was not normal conversation material. And afterwards, I could no longer dismiss my own dream as some 'oddity'. And so I began to believe in psychic abilities. Coming from a sceptical background, it was rather a monumental shift to bring me to this conclusion. The weight of evidence was there, in front of me. I couldn't ignore it! I guess meeting another psychic person helped enormously. As luck would have it, that summer Uri Geller happened to be touring near where I live. Since my early teens, I've been a huge fan. So I went to see his show. It was every bit as remarkable as I had expected, and I left with reinforced confidence in all things psychic. I mean, this guy was bending spoons, reading minds, germinating radish seeds all in front of my eyes! When you're left with no other option, you just *have* to believe in it! And so the next stage of the psychic development began. As with many of my developments, the healing instinct came naturally. I recall the day one of the family cats was attacked by a dog - as the cat lay there, dying, I felt a powerful urge to lay my hands on the stricken animal. While I did not save it, I could sense the animal's gratitude in the moments before death. One morning, after meditation, my attention was brought to a cut on my hand. It was just a small cut, maybe 1 cm long, and quite shallow. I placed my other hand over the cut, and concentrated on healing the wound. Instinctively, after just a minute or so, I felt I had done enough and removed my hand. The cut had healed, and just a little red mark and some scar tissue remained as evidence of what had been there just moments before. I subsequently self-applied the same method to bruises, swelling, headaches and the like. Then I began to 'feel' what people were thinking. It began in the most unlikely of settings: the Post Office. There I was, queued up behind the usual assortment of Joe Public and I was thinking to myself "I wonder what they're thinking?" So I concentrated and focussed on a person. And suddenly, I could feel their emotions - sadness for a dying relative, fear of not having enough money and so on. What a revelation! Naturally, my sceptical side kicked in afterwards and persuaded me I was wrong. But the more I practised it, the more it seemed real and the more powerful it became. Rather than being limited to what my eyes could see, I was now able to 'feel ' what someone was feeling. To me, it seems that every person has a 'frequency' which I can tune into. Once I'm properly tuned in (using a photo or meeting them) I can delve into any aspect of their life I wish. Because what I 'read' is more subtle than words (think of it as a 'vibration' or 'energy') some interpretation is required. With experience, I find that I'm learning more and more about common 'vibrations' (such as the vibrations caused by fear, anger etc.). This should allow me to reduce the time taken between receiving the 'vibration' and turning it into a description. This, in turn, allows me to make spontaneous readings - when walking down a city street, it's useful to know who is likely to mug you, for example! There is no doubt in my mind that this is the true 6th sense: feeling. Each person took on a new beauty - no evil exists when you can see right into a person's soul. It struck me what 'mistake' most people make, that we come to lose our love of life - we leave our childhood behind. When I look at children, I see no 'layers' of worry, fear, jealousy, envy. They live simply, following their soul's desire. Adults, on the other hand, carry around 100 times their weight in emotions. Is it any wonder life seems a sufferance? While each person on their own is simply remarkable, watching two people together - particularly a couple or parent with child - produces what I can only describe as 'celestial fireworks'. I can feel the way that each person' s energy 'interacts' with the other. In some cases, the bond is so strong I' m left with no doubt that such a relationship was not built in just this lifetime. As I spent more time practising, I realised I could tune into the 'collective consciousness' of a group of people, a country, the world, or the universe. It takes a little more effort than tuning into just one person - it's a much more subtle energy, and yet stronger. It's comforting to know that there is much more love in the universe than this rather frightened planet has to offer. In the late summer of 2003, at the recommendation of a friend, I sought a reading by a professional psychic. If you like, I was seeking a 'second opinion' as to the direction I was following. I got confirmation that I was psychic, with the gift of natural healing as well as some guidance for the years that lie ahead. With this confirmation of what I already suspected, my confidence was reinforced and the strength of my convictions bolstered. As I now realise, the beginning of all things psychic is 'faith'. And as my faith grew, so did the extent of my abilities. I discovered I could slide back and forth in a person's life (I describe it like sliding a bead along a piece of thread): I can look at the thread of a person's life and spot knots - past problems from childhood, or future events like marriage, children, travel etc. While some psychics get very accurate detail - such as "your first child will be called James, and he will be a painter", I just get the 'feeling' that "your first child will be a boy, and he will be artistic". Perhaps, with time and practice, I will also get more specific information. Up until this point, all of this psychic stuff could be bracketed as 'personal development'. I was not yet confident enough to use it in public, for someone else. In late 2003, this changed. I was on holiday, in South America, visiting my brother and his girlfriend. He mentioned to one of his girlfriend's friends that I was psychic. Being amazed by such a claim, she proceeded to put me to work! Photographs of friends and family were produced, and I would describe each person (with accuracy that had people gasping!) and what the future held for them. I must say, it was quite tiring - but the practice was wonderful, and it definitely increased the quantity and quality of my abilities. It was also the first chance I had to really truly help someone - this girl was entering a transitional period in her life, and it was a great advantage to have a psychic person to guide her through it. At some point, the poor girl became quite ill - and I had my first opportunity to use the healing ability on another person. I must say, it was one of the most rewarding moments of my life - to have given someone the energy they needed to banish a pain/illness - the feelings of relief and gratitude, and the smile on their face. Yes, it was definitely one of those 'defining' moments. Since then, I've had some of the most indescribable experiences. Meditations become more powerful and meaningful: I get some absolutely amazing visions of events in the future, as well as visions of awesome beauty; I get insights into all manner of issues, and at a psychic level, I've discovered I can conduct 2-way communication with 'something' to obtain answers to questions I may have - I hesitate to use a label here, so I shall just describe it as a conglomeration of the universe's love. On several occasions, in the middle of the night, I have experienced this amazing feeling of 'spiritual communion' with another person, with a group of people, or all people/things. I am neither conscious nor am I asleep - I' m just aware that 'I am'. On these occasions, I have this remarkable surge of energy flowing through me, and a feeling of sublime love and 'oneness' with the other person(s). In this moment, I feel like a volcano is erupting inside me. And yet, when I wake up afterwards, I am not feverish or hot. The feeling of love is so strong, sublime and delicious, that it's usually an hour or so before I can attempt to sleep again! If anyone reading this has a desire to develop their psychic abilities (remember - we are *all* psychic, but we don't all use it), then I hope reading this account of my experiences may give you some faith and confidence to try for yourself. At the risk of seeming arrogant, I'd like to (humbly) suggest some methods which may help. The first step is to learn how to set aside your consciousness: meditation is a good place to begin. Learn how to 'still' your mind - if your own mind is producing thoughts, it's extremely difficult to know what anyone else is thinking. The second step is to believe you can do it: have faith it's possible! If you believe you can't do it, or that it's foolish, then you will not succeed. Throw your inhibitions and preconceptions in the bin, and experiment! The third step is practice! I have a simple little test which I use to make sure my 6th sense is working (I call it 'calibration'!). Ask a close friend, around whom you easily relax, to think of a person (it works best if they picture the person with their eyes closed). Then close your eyes, and try to 'turn off' your consciousness. To begin with, simply try to 'feel' if it's a male or female your friend is thinking of. Take your time, imagine 'tuning into' your friend's frequency, and let their energy come to you. Take your first feeling and just say it out loud! If this proves a success, try taking a step further - try to work out exactly who they're thinking of. You might be surprised at the results ;-) Some people are frightened of the concept of a 6th sense - I guess it brings us into 'unknown territory'. From my point of view, I can only say this: can you imagine living in a black and white, two-dimensional world? For me, the development of a 6th sense has been like 'upgrading' from such a world into a full-colour, three-dimensional version. I would rather spend just one more day with that ability, than a whole lifetime without it. Yes, it has been a daunting experience at times, but this has been greatly outweighed by the richness it has brought to my life. While I have not detailed every single experience of my psychic ability being put to work, or the incredible insights it has brought me, I hope I've described a reasonable selection of what is possible. Thank you for sticking with me right until the end - I hope it was worth your while!

Hi Greg, Thanks for your post. There's a few reasons I'm considering the reiki attunements: 1. At the moment, healing someone takes a lot of energy out of me. The attraction to reiki is that I'd be channeling universal energy, rather than using my own energy. 2. Distance healing: I've tried distance healing, but without success. This is pretty important to me, as I will be spending most of my life at some distance from friends & family. I believe that the 2nd reiki attunement would help on this count? 3. The experience: I'm kinda curious as to what might happen at the point where I receive an attunement. I've read about some great experiences, and positive after-effects...I guess I'd like to try it for myself ;-) In particular, I've read of how some psychic people have had that particular ability augmented by an attunement. Also, I'm not discounting the mind-over-matter effect - perhaps simply receiving an attunement will unlock some 'potential'! I suppose, at the end of the day, I don't imagine that it would "do any harm" to receive an attunement? I'm open to all opinions, and options :-) David ###### From: montane Newsgroups: alt.healing.reiki Subject: Re: Reiki in life Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2004 08:33:02 -0800 Organization: http://extra.newsguy.com Lines: 56 Message-ID: References: NNTP-Posting-Host: p-944.newsdawg.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 2.0/32.640 Path: redlance.franklin.ch!pfaff2.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!switch.ch!news.imp.ch!news.imp.ch!news-spur1.maxwell.syr.edu!news.maxwell.syr.edu!newsxfer.eecs.umich.edu!pln-w!spln!dex!extra.newsguy.com!newsp.newsguy.com!enews1 Xref: redlance.franklin.ch alt.healing.reiki:14302 On Tue, 2 Mar 2004 00:58:30 -0000, "dmo" wrote: > >There's a few reasons I'm considering the reiki attunements: > >1.

My hands transfered a lot of some unusual kind of heat I was told (I was giving a lady a back massage). Getting the attunements put me on a path of specific development. It's quite a different thing, in that way, in my experience. >2. Distance healing: I've tried distance healing, but without success.

I studied psychology in school, but then got initiated into yoga meditation. A variety of sporadic unusual experiences followed. >Also, I'm not discounting the mind-over-matter effect - perhaps simply >receiving an attunement will unlock some 'potential'! The Reiki attunement seemed exceptional as it resulted in an emotional clean-out, increase of everyday personal energy, opening of the meridians spoken of in Chinese medicine, and a generally comfortable feeling with people and with nature. And more resistance to illness (no colds or flu in 15 months, though I used to get three or four a year). >I suppose, at the end of the day, I don't imagine that it would "do any >harm" to receive an attunement? > I believe you would like it.

Greg. Thanks for your reply Greg, Stuart and Montane too. I do feel a particular 'urge' to have at least the first attunement - and perhaps, given I have some experience of healing, having the 1st & 2nd attunements together might be alright? As yet, I haven't approached anyone about receiving the attunements. I'm aware that my yoga teacher is a reiki master, but I must confess I don't feel comfortable with him (the downside of being psychic!). Given that I live in the middle of nowhere, I think I'm going to have to rely on distant attunement(s). If anyone reading this is interested in sending me the attunement(s), I'd definitely be interested. Or if anyone has recommendations on who I should contact, I would be glad to hear about it.
