~~Reflection~~ Teri Moore, editor & RMT

As I sit here this evening, composing the newsletter, my husband is in the
next room with the TV blasting the latest football game. Okay. To be fair,
it's not really blasting - it just seems that way because I'm trying to
figure out what this column is going to be about and the TV keeps breaking
my concentration (I can really only take so much Terry Bradshaw commentary
:o).

Hmmm. Maybe that's the answer to my dilemma (no, not Terry Bradshaw) - - to
write a little about focus. Focus particularly as it applies to conducting
a Reiki session sounds good to me. Here goes . . . .

As a Reiki Teacher, I typically instruct my students to just step aside and
let the energy flow, to be an open conduit for the energy. Sometimes I tell
them to imagine a large PVC pipe extending from the Universe and into the
tops of their heads if they're really having difficulty visualizing.

Reiki has an intelligence, so we don't need to tell it where to go when we
have a client or are working on ourselves. We are also taught to be free of
intent when channeling the energy.

Based on this, one could surmise that Reiki does not require focus; or as my
RMT used to say "hands on, Reiki on; hands off, Reiki off." Little or no
thought required. But is this really the case? If we have a client and the
phone is ringing and the dog is barking and the kids are screaming in the
other room, how can we 'focus' on the recipient of the energy? Think back
to past Reiki sessions - which felt more productive to you? The ones where
your attention (not intention) was on channeling Reiki or the ones where you
were consistently distracted?

I've experienced Reiki sessions both ways, as I'm sure most of you have as
well. When I was able to give my sincere attention to my client (or
myself), the sessions generated a more positive response within the person
being treated and within myself. I also find that when I focus and go
inside, the Reiki flows and I am able to pick up on energetic patterns
within the person I'm working on - - this leads me to being able to 'read'
them, similar to how I might read their Tarot cards or palms, but I'm
getting a read at a gut level as to what's going on with them energetically.
This wouldn't be possible without focusing on the task at hand, remaining in
the moment.

As the precepts say, "Just for today . . ." I find that for me, it's
sometimes "Just for this moment . . ." as I work to maintain my focus with
my practice and through living one day at a time.

~~Reader's Corner~~

Millie: Just to thank you for the wonderful newsletter. It was wonderful.
It answered a lot of my questions and really gave me some very good needed
direction.

Linda: You're invited to attend Gulfport Healing Arts Center Open House.
Location: Gulfport Healing Arts Center, 2825 Beach Blvd., Gulfport,
Florida, (727)347-2825 for more current info. or call me at (727)-347-3234.

Teri: A quick note to let you know I'm now offering posters of the Reiki
Hand Positions (for self, others, and short treatment) through my site.
These are the same pics that are included in my ReikiOne First Degree
Manual, Beginnings. The quality is great and I find these to be really
handy when I get my First Degree students doing hands-on work - I post them
around the room so they don't have to think about the different positions,
just about channeling the energy. If you'd like to check the poster out,
you can view it at http://www.cafepress.com/reikionep .

Paul, on an earlier discussion topic regarding charging for Reiki: i don't
understand why god would care one way or the other what you did with your
money. why is it good or bad? why does there have to be balance. where must
the balance be kept? who exactly is keeping the balance? and why for that
matter? the god i know and love so well, loves you if you give from your
heart or break someone else's. and is perfect, always, in all ways,
everywhere and nowhere. is not money and everything that exists and appears
not to exist that very god we all know and love?

Comments? Suggestions? Complaints? They don't have to be about the
newsletter, just about Reiki or other healing topics. Be heard! Send them

~~Reiki Experience~~

>From Jim: Self Attunement Using the Chi Ball

1. Hold the hands up high, palms up and see the Reiki source come down and
surround you. Breathe in the Reiki energy and left it come into the palms
and fill you.

2. Bring the hands down in front of your chest, palms facing toward each
other and about one inch apart.

3. While continuing to focus on the Reiki Source slowly move the hands
apart. Visualize, intend and will that a ball of Reiki form. Continue to
move the hands further apart until they are about the size of a basketball.

4. Now perform any Master attunement you wish on the ball. You can use one
of the Non-traditional Short Attunements or any attunement set that you feel
comfortable with. You may add any new or extra symbols that you wish.

5. Before you "seal" the attunement or simply before you conclude the
attunement, draw a Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen on the ball from top to bottom.

6. Now state, will, and intent that the attunement be sent to yourself.

7. Allow yourself to accept the attunement from the Chi Ball.

8. Intend that the attunement be sealed, or use whatever process you
normally use to seal and end the attunement.

9. Hold the hands in the gassho position for a few minutes letting the Reiki
Source continue to fill you with Reiki energy.

~~Teaching Reiki~~

>From RMT JoAnn Adams, on the ReikiOne Second Degree Manual: I've just
downloaded your second degree manual and have only had a chance to glance at
a few pages but I couldn't wait to let you know how wonderful it is. I am a
Reiki Master and am just beginning to teach. I knew I wasn't going to teach
as my Reiki Master had because it just wasn't enough 'heart-felt'
information. Basic info on the symbols,etc, simply didn't speak to my soul.
My education about Reiki came from reading many books. Your manual does
speak to my spirit and touch my heart. You've explained just what I've been
searching for and more. Thank you so much for the effort, research and
sharing of your own truths you have put into your newsletters and manuals.
I've been a faithful reader for quite a while and will continue to be. Keep
up your calling. You are touching many hearts.

and From Debbie Milam: Your manuals are so beautiful and you can tell the
amount of love and light you put into them to create them.

This column features a different question each week for your musing,
opinion, and response. Comments received will be published in the next

Last week's question came from John: In your experience (I'm a Reiki II
practitioner) how does Karuna Reiki differ from Shamballa Reiki?

There were no responses to John's question from last week's newsletter. If
you'd like to register a response this week, please feel free to send it in!

Next week's question comes from Anita: I'm concerned that if I'm healing,
the negative energies from the other person will attach itself to me. How
can I rid myself of these energies, if this is so or how can I prevent
myself against these negative energies?

Send your comments to teri@reikione.com with "discussion" in the subject

~~Music/Book Review~~

Two Reviews this Week!

>From Chakrachild: I have been a Reiki Master for almost two years. It was
just the beginning of opening and connecting with heavenly helpers to heal.
Since then I have become a channel, lightworker, psychic, advance crystal
and aura worker, Adult Indigo turned crystal and now teach advance and
beginner enlightenment courses. I wear and offer programmed crystals. I
understand how entities can enter our crown being so open with reiki so I
also learned alot about psychic surgery. Reiki is on our planet to aid in
global healing on all levels emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual.
Reiki is also here to aid in our change of global consciousness, our DNA and
cells for this new age of Aquarius. Energy purpose, energy predictions, and
energy healing are recorded in my book "The Path to Enlightenment" it is
only available from me for $10 Reiki is discussed in detail and for anyone
going into energy healing. My spiritual name is Seka at Chakrachild@aol.com
or call (860) 490-4611.

This second review isn't a healing-related book (I know, I'm breaking my own
rules, but it's for a wonderful cause so please forgive me!) - a good
friend of mine and fellow writer just had his first book released from Five
Star Press! Here's a short blurb: When freelance writer and former
investigative reporter Nick Bertetto agrees to look into the death of the
patriarch of his hometown of Clinton, Indiana, he doesn't suspect that he's
in for an adventure that includes two more dead bodies, religious fanatics,
and a supernatural event in which he becomes a main player. Second Advent,
a novel by Tony Perona. From Five Star Press (an imprint of Thorndike
Press). Available in December through your local or on-line bookseller.

I'll include it in the newsletter. Email your review to teri@reikione.com.

SPIN-OFFS OF THE "I LOVE YOU VIRUS"

Security experts and federal government authorities warn that offspring of
the dangerous e-mail virus are now on the
loose. As a public service, we present the following list of "I Love You"
variations and how to recognize them:

- The "I Love You, But I'm Shy" virus never actually invades your computer
but collects data about it worshipfully from afar.

- The "Love The One You're With" virus hangs around your computer, but the
whole thing is just temporary until it can find the computer that it really
wants to invade.

- The "Happily Married" virus invades only one computer and stays with it
for life.

- The "Unhappily Married" virus spends a long time negotiating with a
computer, finally invades it, and then strays to other computers from time
to time.

- The "I Want A Divorce" virus sends repeated, hard-to-read messages that
your computer isn't working and takes half of your computer's best data in
an ugly network session.

- The "Stalker" virus spends unnatural amounts of time monitoring your
computer, collecting data your computer has thrown away and tries to record
all of its functions.

- The "Forever Single" virus causes your computer to focus solely on other
computers that are totally incompatible with it.
