'new' ReikiOne site, we want you to know how much we appreciate your

acclimating to the change, you'll find it a useful and interesting
place to visit.

previous service I was using wasn't deleting 'unsubscribes.' As you
can imagine, this was getting to be a problem (and making some folks
pretty upset). Hopefully this new script will work well and we'll be
'in business.'
I've been busy with out of town visitors for the last few days (my
mom-in-law and Terry's granddaughter are up from Texas - I claim the
grandbaby but I'm too young to be a grandma! :o) So, sorry for the

running a Newsletter yet that has not reacted in total insecurity to my
call for Reiki Channels to join in the Healing Project I co-ordinate.
I congratulate you on your professionalism, maturity and for your
support for the altruism of planetary healing. It is wonderful to find
a Reiki Master who is more concerned about global healing than personal
profit and power. You are welcome to include this comment in your next
Newsletter.
weekly newsletter. Thank you for the opportunity your forum presents
to participate in our Reiki community.
Discussion on working with animals: PawsforReiki.homestead.com. I do
Reiki on pets and the people who share their lives with pets. My site
has pages of helpful links and resources as well.
earlier Discussion topic: Sending Reiki to the past is wonderfully
healing. It is all about healing ourselves, all our traumas, guilt,
fear, shame, etc, all the negative energies that we carry as a cloud
around us and which Reiki helps to burst into showers which cleanse us
like nothing else can! Then, with all this negative baggage out of the
way, we become free to be able to release these negative emotions and
any illnesses resulting from them at all levels, spiritual, mental,
emotional and physical. I would like to thank Marilyn, Sara and David
for their contributions. I have healed my child self, and experienced a
great sense of release, but healing my future self ........ very
interesting!

would like to throw open discussion on favorite grounding methods after
a Reiki session & in life in general. How do you ground
yourself?
roots into the earth from my feet. And then beginning with the root
chakra, I take a deep breath and visualize its color (red) and see the
power symbol in that chakra. I do the same for the genital chakra -
deep breath, visualize its color (orange) and then see the power symbol
in that chakra. I do the same with each of the other basic chakras
(solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown chakra). For a
final touch I see myself and draw the power symbol to cover me from toe
to head, encompassing my width and breadth. I suppose if you haven't
had your second attunement you could touch or send Reiki with intent to
each chakra. On occasion I've followed through with the urge to do
the same process with the Mental/Emotional and Distance Healing
symbols. Very potent.
yourself. It is very important to ground yourself before a treatment
and not feel rushed. Meditate before a treatment or even do some
energy, chakra-opening exercises or open the chakras with sound. By
focusing on your task a hand and opening up Sacred Space (smudging,
calling on the directions or guides), you ground yourself before a
treatment. Now, during a treatment additional grounding is needed as
light energy is very fast coming through your crown chakra. So it's
important to feel connected to the earth, thereby grounding. I like to
envision roots of a great tree coming out of my feet and extending into
the earth's core and then being anchored by a lock and chain.
Eventually grounding will happen automatically. Make sure to ground
yourself periodically, as you move around the client's
body.
Last evening I was doing reiki on my 23 year old daughter (she has a
tremendous amount of stress, issues and baggage in her life - uh, sort
of like the rest of us...) and I was doing a full body treatment on
her. As I was working on her lower back (around the adrenal area) she
developed a sensation of nausea and this stayed with her for several
hours. She never actively vomited and there was no vertigo involved.
This morning the symptoms were gone. Do you or your readers have any
thoughts or insight about this occurrence? My instinct tells me that
there was probably some detox beginning to occur, but this was never
addressed in any of my reiki training classes. I would appreciate any
feedback you might have.
on the top of each kidney. They are orange rectangular and about an
inch and a half in length. The adrenal glands main purpose is to
maintain salt levels in the blood, maintain blood pressure, help
control kidney function, control overall fluid concentrations in the
body and produce hormones necessary for fluid and electrolyte (salt)
balances such as cortisone and aldosterone. The adrenal cortex also
makes sex hormones but this only becomes important if overproduction is
present. If you had a feeling to work this area, and your daughter
developed a nauseous feeling then I think that either the kidneys or
the adrenal glands are talking to you both, have her blood pressure and
urine checked for starters. Then I would go right back and scan that
area again and concentrate on separating left and right, see if you can
pinpoint which side is causing the ill effects ~ if indeed you get the
same results the second time. I will burn a candle for you both, could
just be old baggage releasing as well (I've seen that effect and worse
from a good negative karmic release).
thoughts of a possible detox. It could also be related to an issue she
is working with. While I was working with a first time client her jaw
kept locking in muscle spasms. When this would happen I would go back
and Reiki her jaw. After our session I put some extra time on her jaw,
because of more muscle spasms. She finally broke down and told me
about something very awful that she'd been told to keep secret. This
something awful was being investigated by the police and she was in the
position of being strong for her family. By keeping this awful
secret she hadn't been able to begin her own healing and was isolated
from her family and peers. After she told me her secret the muscle
spasms went away. Another time I was Reiki'ing a client and after we
were finished I began to have muscle spasms in my upper left arm. I
forget what my personal growth work was at the time, but remember
finding the link between the spasms and my work. I can't remember
where I've read of this phenomenon before, but I have heard of it. I
don't believe these detox symptoms as permanent or health threatening,
just a physical manifestation of releasing or holding on to the issue
at hand.
especially where strong work was needed. Whenever anyone experiences
discomforting symptoms (dizziness, nausea or pain), continue to give
them Reiki on this area. The toxins probably came to the surface, but
more Reiki was needed to heal the area back up...so to
speak.
perception, for what it may be worth. Before being attuned to Reiki I
& II, C.M.T.,and Karuna fractioned class I knew very little about
Reiki. Over two years ago I started getting massage on a weekly basis
for FMS. The therapist was incorporating Reiki into the bodywork
sessions. She is a very gifted healer. One session stands out during
that time period in that I became extremely nauseated during the
treatment; almost to the point of having her stop. My "higher self"
felt like this was a clearing and very necessary to my healing, so I
did not say anything until the session was over. Since then there have
been times when I work on clients and have a quick wave of nausea. I
take this as their clearing going through and out me. I hope this
helps you in some way...I felt compelled to answer you.
recall something similar to this being discussed in both Reiki and
other alternative healing classes. There are times when the body will
go through what is called a 'healing crisis.' Like you have
intuitively surmised, toxins may have been dislodged when she was
receiving the treatment, triggering the symptoms she experienced. The
profound state of relaxation that Reiki induces, possibly allowed her
to 'let go' and thus giving her body a greater opportunity to
cleanse. The support from the Reiki energy allowed the symptoms to be
superficial and only lasting a short period. These are my thoughts on
what occurred. They are offered you with Reiki Love and
support.
Nancy's request for an understandable explanation of her daughter's
experience. I will try to explain this in the most concise way I can.
Nancy, what your daughter was experiencing was a common, but
infrequent, condition called a "healing crisis". A healing crisis
can take many different forms. It can be anything from a bad taste in
the mouth (usually a metallic taste), to a period of nausea, a
headache, a worsening for symptoms for a short time, the emergence of a
whole new symptom that can present itself and then vanish shortly
thereafter. It is generally believed that a healing crisis can occur
when a severe energy blockage is encountered and collapsed by the Reiki
treatment. When this happens, the FLOW of energy is restored through
the affected body system or meridian. This can trigger a dumping of
toxins with which the body was unable to deal while the blockage was in
place. This is generally a physiological phenomena - not an energetic
one. The toxins are quite real. If you are unfamiliar with the role
of toxins and how Reiki aids in their removal, start reading. There
are many books on energy toxins. Although they may not be as much fun
to read as books on Reiki, the subject is important if you are going
the be helping your clients. Toxins are usually the culprit when you
do a treatment and get an improvement in the physical state of your
patient only to find that shortly after the treatment the benefit
received during the treatment fades and the problem returns to its
pre-treatment condition. That is to say that SOMETHING the client is
encountering in their environment, consumables (food and drink), or
personal care products is nullifying the beneficial effect of the Reiki
treatment you gave. A Reiki treatment makes a "correction" in the
energetic system of the client. The beneficial effects of the
correction will usually remain UNLESS an energy toxin is encountered in
sufficient quantity to undo your treatment. In such cases, it is a
good idea to test your client for common toxins if you see this pattern
emerging. Toxin testing for Reiki practitioners is usually
accomplished through a process of muscle testing. Look for books by
Dr. George Goodheart or Dr. Paul Diamond. Also the AMERICAN REIKI
INSTITUTE offers a course in diagnosing energy toxins. E-mail me for
more info if you are interested. Dr. David Hanson -

Where does Reiki fit in relation to Christianity? Do Reiki followers
believe in salvation through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross?
Reiki services are being passed off as church services in our area & I
really don't see that some of what is being taught is Biblically or
Christian based.
