~~Reflection~~ Teri Moore, editor & RMT

Asleep under the stars,
I am filled with dreams.

I watch quietly with my mind
as a thin beam of white light
trickles in from above.

The light enters my crown
and becomes silver sparkles
on a purple background.

A shaman appears and
leads me to his lodge.
I become one with my heart
as the pain of the past
lifts out of me.

The white light
merges with my soul;
Healing has begun.

~~Reader's Corner~~

Barbara: Thanks for the great newsletter, I love
reading it week by week.

Promise: Concerning ~~Reader's Corner~~ on
credentials: I believe it is like any other true art...
when it becomes your heart's desire - you do not
master the art it masters you.

Karen: A huge thank you, Teri, for your own wisdom
and also that of your many members - I'm learning SO
much from you all. Speaking from here in the UK,
there seems to be a strong move towards 'alternative'
medicine and practices. I feel that everyone on Earth
is being guided - gently but definitely: more and more
healers and channellers are being 'called''. It can only
be good. A question, please, for your members: How
important is meditation for a Reiki practitioner? How
does it help and how often should one practice?
(if you like, send your responses to Teri at
teri@reikione.com and I'll post them here for follow-up).

David, in response to an earlier request for a Healing
Circle in the Washington area: Hi: The Reiki Center
of Greater Washington (www.reikicenter.info) does
monthly Reiki Circles (we call them Reiki Shares).
Our calendar on the website lists them, but they are
usually on the first Saturday of each month from 10am
to 12 noon. I first started them with my students and
have broadened out by inviting local reiki people found
through the web to join us. It is really fun and gives
"the givers" a chance to receive.

~~Reiki Experience~~

a follow-up from Jo Ann Adams

In response to Gina's request regarding a "story of
comfort" for Reiki recipients. I start working in Spirit
with a client's name before the actual session, although
this is sometimes quite brief. Since during a session
it's so crucial for the Reiki practitioner to keep ones
thoughts pure and totally focused on the client I, initially,
felt this was more easily accomplished by guiding them
to a serene, beautiful, unconditionally loving place to
rest and rejuvenate. I would ask them energetically, in
spirit, psychically, whatever words you choose to use,
where they would like to go. I begin this in the crown
chakra and sometimes get an immediate visual and
sometimes I'm in the solar plexus before I get it. The story
evolves over an hour as I go around the body. As the
stories became more beautiful and profound I began to
share them, only with the recipient as it is not mine to
share with anyone else. Then the feedback began and
probably 90% can relate to the place, usually their favorite,
or colors or feelings of drifting in a boat, etc.. Sometimes
they need a little coaxing or guidance, such as to put down
your spear, in the case of the warrior, and look at yourself
in the stream. This person washed off his (even though it
was a female) painted face after mirroring in the stream
and eventually swam and drifted in the stream before
merging with a beautiful rainbow. Turns out she was an
overachiever and realized on her own that it was time to
slow down.

Thanks for your interest. I have many stories. Maybe it's
time to write them down. Namaste.

Sirje writes: I am a Reiki II, for less than 6 months. I
did it out of curiosity, mainly, and haven't told many people
about it, so I'm using it mainly quietly, on little things.
I find, actually, that for snarled traffic, angry customers,
plants, my own aches and pains, and the like, it works
every time. And I do have a very clear sense of when it's
"on," and I can get it to flow immediately. BUT... wouldn't
you know that when I try to use it to get guy A to call me,
etc., it has the OPPOSITE EFFECT. What is the deal? Is
Reiki so smart that it makes up its own mind about guys I
like ??!! (ed note: any insights you'd like to share? send
them to Teri at teri@reikione.com and I'll post them here!).

~~Up for Discussion~~

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

Last week's question: came from Michele: When
I am receiving the reiki energy, my body oscillates
from front to back, if I am sitting straight on the
chair. If I am leaning back, my arms oscillates
instead of my torso. That's how I know that the
energy arrives to me. For my friend, it is different:
the energy arrives like a blow on her crown chakra.
Two people, two ways. How do YOU know that
the energy comes to you? Send us an answer even
if it is a short one, the more we receive, the more
interesting the answer to this question will be.

Barbara K: I visualize the symbols, ask for guidance
& expect the energy to be there. I assume it's flowing
and very shortly, my hands begin to vibrate.

Heidi: This is a great question. I love to hear how
others feel the energy!! Myself, if I am giving Reiki
I feel the energy shoot up my arms to the top of my
head most of the time. It is a tingling sensation, as if
my arms and head have fallen asleep although it is a
much more soothing feeling. Sometimes it is intense
heat. It depends on who is receiving the Reiki. If
I am getting the treatment I get the tingling sensation
all over and when the person gets to my neck...I laugh
and laugh and laugh. Not because it tickles either!
This uncontrollable laughter just take over - every time.
When they leave my neck I am more relaxed than ever
and the laughing stops. This began only after my Master
Attunement. I call them my moments of enlightenment!

Julie: when I am receiving a treatment (and not giving
one) different muscles in my body twitch (sometimes
they are quite big jolts!) Often in my minds eye I see a
blue pulsing light (which is very odd, because I am
not visual and never see anything when my eyes are closed)

Karen: I am a newly awakened Reiki 1 channeller here
in the UK. I have only been practising for around a
month so everything is still new! I'm not sure if I'm
qualified to answer your question, but I know the
energy is with me when my hands start to tingle and
vibrate - especially around the palms and the fingertips.

Pamela: What a great subject, I never think to ask
other practitioners. I feel a pressure in my brow
point,6th chakra. When I was attuned to Master I
was with a group and the pressure there was great,
powerful. One of the other Masters came up and
lightly kissed my brow and told me I had alot of
power. I felt like it must be glowing!

Beth: As you said in your statement before your
question, two different people, two different ways
for the energy to come through. There are lots of
ways to feel the energy come through. When I work
with Reiki energy now, I feel a very distinctive shift
in my energy field. I "know" when it comes in and I
"know" when it goes out. These "knowings" have
become stronger and stronger over the years of using
Reiki. In the beginning a practitioner needs to have
faith that the energy is coming through, allow it to
come through and open their capacity to feel and
"carry" the energy. The clearer a channel you become
the more you can "feel" the energy come through.
Sometimes the hardest thing is the faith part, just
believing and trusting that you are being a channel
for healing energy.

Next week's question: comes from JT: When I was
undergoing my Usui Master Level in August last year,
I was taught how to "protect" myself and the client,
when doing treatment or attunements. The protection
is done by visualising oneself being encased in a pyramid,
to be filled with pure white light flowing from the crown
to mother earth. Recently, something inside me questions
the need for this. After all, Reiki is harmless, so is it
necessary, this protection? Are there harmful guides or
negative elements that will enter your body if you do
not protect it? Or is it just one of those self-assuring acts
intended to give more peace of mind to oneself, which in
the end does nothing at all? I am just wondering what the
views and practices of Reiki Practitioners are like in this
Forum. I seek upon your advice and experience. Are
there any who have had any psychic attacks for not
protecting yourself?

the practitioner to rapidly return to their cosmic origin,
true-self, attain very high levels of consciousness very
quickly, and receive miraculous health benefits. I am highly
recommending this to everyone I can find, especially people
who are directly seeking high level consciousness attainment,
self-healing, and spiritual enlightenment. Come and experience
Falun Dafa today. All activities are free of any charge, and
