7:21PM - Reiki Symbols – The Gift of Life Force

There are two schools of thought about Reiki symbols. The first says that Reiki symbols are sacred and not to be shared with those who are not initiated into Reiki. It is thought the Reiki symbols will not work, and will be diluted if they are shared with someone who has no knowledge of how to use them. The second school of thought is sharing the Reiki symbols with everyone is really what the energy of Reiki is all about – UNIVERSAL life force. And thus, it should be available to all to share. Seems there is no right or wrong here, just which school of thought you subscribe to, or what your Reiki training has been.

There are still some old Reiki masters who will tell you right off the bat that the Reiki symbols are not to be shared with just anyone, as it takes away from the power of them. There may be sense in this argument if you stop to think about the Reiki symbols themselves. They don't mean anything to someone who has no idea what they are or what they can achieve with them. On the other hand, there are so many self-help books on the subject of Reiki and using the Reiki symbols that you might think you can learn how to do Reiki through using a book and teaching yourself.

If the books dealing with Reiki symbols are to be believed, you should not only be able to learn the symbols, but attune yourself and become whatever level of practitioner you wish. While this sounds simple, there really is a whole lot more to it than just reading a book. Particularly when you get more advanced in levels.

Without getting into too much about the symbols, as in drawing them, we can certainly tell you the names of the symbols used for the lower levels of Reiki energy channeling. If you are just starting, the first level of Reiki requires no symbols to work. It does however need an attunement from the Reiki master who is training you. Level 2 symbols need to be given to you by the Reiki master along with an attunement to the second level. Self-help books indicate you can do attunements yourself. That is still a highly controversial level and a word of caution here. Do energy work with respect and caution.

But, back to the Level 2 symbols. There are three of them – the Power symbol, the Mental/Emotional Symbol and the Distance Symbol. The Power symbol means "by Imperial decree, put all the power of the universe here". The Mental/Emotional Symbol means "God and humanity become one, to create a new habit". The Distance Symbol means "May the Buddha (enlightened one) in me connect with the Buddha in you to promote peace and dignity."

11:36PM - The Leading Facts about Reiki Healing

If you have the fair interest in knowing Reiki and how it is practiced, the best thing to start with is that of getting familiar with the healing procedure. Reiki imparts the knowledge on how the present life can be lived to the fullest and to let go of all the worries and stress. It is necessary to put away the concerns that bother the mind, the spirit, and the body because it is the only way on how a full life can be enjoyed. Reiki healing employs the force that opens the doors in our lives towards the most unexpected and positive things that can occur. As soon as we allow our hearts, minds, and spirits to open up to the wonders of its healing procedure, we can start to live in harmony with the rest of our brothers and sisters.

The Healing and the Healer
As per the believers of Reiki, they manifest the techniques as they abide by the Divine consecration and the sacred covenant that they share with the Creator. Others even have the faith that the ability to heal themselves and others by means of using Reiki is innate. The technique is both a therapy and a way of allowing one to live the present day at a given moment. The healing ability is empowered as the person decides to accept his responsibility in getting attuned to it. Apart from acting as a form of treatment, it is also a lifestyle that encourages an individual to do good deeds in their entire lifetime.

The Early Beginnings
The methods of healing through Reiki is said to have been rooted from the age old Tibet and was actually rediscovered by no less than a Japanese man by the name Mikao Usui in the latter part of the 1800s. When Mikao Usui died, his loyal followers took over the responsibility and continued the practice. They established clubs and alliances which still exist to this day to teach the variations of the Reiki method. The teaching is basically based on the learner's level of spiritual maturity. In the early times, the club was exclusively for the Japanese so the foreigners were never allowed to partake in the course. However, one Japanese woman by the name Hawayo Takata introduced the same teachings in the western world in the 1970s. Nowadays, the knowledge on Reiki is known to all parts of the world.

Using Reiki Methodology
If there are some people who question the efficacy of Reiki, it is but necessary to believe that it truly works. The person has to be simply open to accept the healing energy which is always around. You don't necessarily have to feel anything during the healing process. If one fails to receive the energy, it means that the process is obstructed by the imbalanced chakras. In order to fully enjoy its effect, it has to be rebalanced. It may take a while but with the help of other Reiki healers, the process of recovery can be made faster.

It is but important to do the Reiki healing procedure with all of your heart and mind. Your action has to be driven by your greatest emotion called love. It is by opening yourself up to the whole process that you will only be able to receive its rewarding effect. Good deeds are also going to be returned to you.

The Purpose of Reiki Healing

Reiki healing has been in continuing practice for several years now. It is recognized to be a great tool that is aimed at personal treatment and growth. Reiki energy is rooted from an optimal spiritual source which never fails to come up with the best results. The healing applies for the spirit, the mind, and the body which has to serve as the guide in an individual's journey called life. Reiki likewise aids in the enhancement of the personal talents. Of course, all of these can only materialize if you prefer to get attuned to this sacred practice. There exists a sacred covenant that has to be maintained and nurtured for always.

Learning the Program of Self-Healing

For you to be able to acquire the depth of the knowledge on Reiki's self-healing process, you must develop a sensible time for practice. You need to master different techniques. The way on how you execute it will move you forward near your goal or pull you away from your desired aim. In the course of self-healing, the appropriate technique must be used and thus should be learned by you. If you are qualified enough to do so, you may choose to develop your own healing system which will work to your advantage. If you have your spirit, mind, and heart into Reiki, you will surely succeed.

The Allotted Time for Self-Healing

The Reiki system of self-healing is best done by regularly allotting at least 30 minutes to yourself. It is time that you realize how important it is to value yourself and therefore spend some time for your complete healing. You may use either the scanning or hand positions as your technique. Your focus should be on those regions that require healing the most. As the session begins, you will be carefully guided as to where your hands should go and which body part should you touch. You have to feel everything that you are doing. Let the energy flow and feel it vibrating. While the session is going on, ponder on your daily activities and where your life is heading. It is by means of thinking over your practice in life will your quest for self-healing produce a great impact. This is a kind of technique that promotes the development of a healthy attitude. More so, this self-reflection technique will similarly give you more room for the generation of very creative ideas and ways on how it will be best to handle your own troubles.

Self-Healing in Groups

Again, Reiki treatment can be administered to yourself or to others. Hence, you may form a special group with the rest of the Reiki self-healers whom you know and do the session altogether. This practice is a lot more effective because you don't only get to heal yourself but the rest of your group mates as well. A daily practice can do wonders. You will heal each other faster. The complete healing is also sure to materialize. The secret to it is the sharing of energy and support as the group gets on with the session.

Being in a group will give you the opportunity to discuss among yourselves the things that you want to get healed with. A once a week meeting will generate a more serious focus and a deeper purpose in each and every one of you. Let the prayers guide you through as you convene in the Reiki healing practice.

5:56PM - Not sure what I am trying to ask...but...I need input from others...

 Ok so...not sure how to word this or even exactly what I’m trying to ask...but here goes.


I recently moved to Indiana. the new house I live in is well over 100 years old. I live with people who "used to" have some of the same abilities I have...mostly the ones I speak of are my abilities to see and communicate with other beings (whether you call them ghosts or spirits or what have you-THOSE)...My mother in law said she used to be able to sense them...but never had the ability to speak or communicate. I do. She apparently lost the ability when she purposefully did so when she was young and found it more of a stress than a gift, as I see it.

She said she picked this house to buy, because it was the first one she had lived in that felt "clean" of any other beings.
I felt the same way when I moved here, only, to me...it felt empty and void of.....life in some way. It was pleasant and calm...and relaxing (coming from a home that was overrun with them, when I lived in NH)...but I missed my "friends" that I had so many of in NH. I missed seeing them in the middle of the night...I missed them unrolling the TP when I went to reach for it...I missed the giggles in the night time...and even the creepy shadow man who loomed around in my old bedroom and bathroom...he never did try to hurt me or harm me...he was just creepy and shadow-y HAHAHA.


But the thing is...they began bothering my mother back home in NH...and she got scared(she never did understand how "ghosts" could be nice) and yelled to them to leave her home and come to me where they’d be wanted.
Ok...now...I have seen them, and some new "people" as well...and new critters (I see many cats-always have)...but I feel them so......faintly...it is like they are barely there now. Like they are trying to be seen, but something is holding them back.

I think my desire to see them is what is helping them to be seen...

My concern is...do you think perhaps the house was "haunted" and someone who had the home before, may have blessed it or had it blessed in some way to rid the home of "others"......and that is holding them back so much??? If not...what do you suppose is the issue??? Any other comments are welcome...but I would like to know what everyone thinks...


Thanks.
Be safe and smile.
Much love.

6:43PM - Greetings Fellow Spirituals

I am a new person to this community obviously and I found this place by chance. I've always believed in things that most don't like ghosts,angels, demons and otherworldly spirits being very much apart of our world. I've had a huge drive to learn more about this form of psychology and mythology. I strongly believe in dreams being a view of another world and in this world you preiceive who you are and what tools you need for your waking world self to grow.

Since, I trust that this is a non-judgemental community I will also say that I am a sensitive I do see these creatures often, or at least sense their vibes. I have been able to do this since I was a small child. I do admit though that I am an amatuer at dealing with them. I come this place to learn how to control and set some postive outcomes instead of negative.

Due to these facts I am of course non-judgemental to any ones beliefs or religon, as I am also eager to learn about them as well. I wish to learn much much more about these sorts of things.

First and foremost I am an artist whose artwork dwelves into the dream theories and of course the things I dream and my visions. I am on the fence about possibly pursuing a career with the spirtual psychology aspect but not sure as of yet. Currently, I am working on an indepth visual story about the life of spirits and humans together...and their battle to perhaps enlighten some and maybe inform but hopefully it will be an enjoyment to all.

It's still unfortunately still in brainstroming forms...so I cannot show a website or any of the sort yet...but I have been doing artworks of it, and some quick writtings ideas.

I hope to learn and offer some other ideas to others in the community.

Rikki~

5:04PM - how do you get rid of someone elses energy?

 I'm not sure if I am the only one who experiences this.. maybe because my clairsentient ability is quite high, im not sure..

When I am talking to someone and or consulting with them I can easilty tune in to what they are feeling and react according to it.  

I'm only asking because I had a person who I was reading for yesterday who was very very emotionally upset-
 to the point of being angry and mad at her situation and just couldn't see the clairity that I was trying to offer her..

It was so hard for me to get rid of her energy link after the reading, that had to take a breather -literally- outside, to get in touch with natures natural positive energy and balance myself once again.

So here is the discussion question to which I am posting now.

 Q:   How do you as an empath get rido of the psychic link after the session is complete?

8:30AM - Spiritual Seeker

Greetings all,
I'm a spiritual seeker and just found this LJ community. I primarily identify as a pagan, but that's kind of broadened out to being generally earth-based, and more of a spiritual mystic than anything else. I'm hoping to meet people of like minds.

Some of my dreams include putting on spiritually transformative events, classes, and rituals, and eventually building shrines, temples, and community centers, perhaps even seminaries for alternative spirituality.

So I met this person when i moved to AZ... i'm not going to get into details about him, because I think that would bother him, but I just want to say, i think I've found a guru. he's an amazing teacher with so much to share. He's taught me so much in the little time I've known him. He's amazing. I can't go into details, but... wow. This guy could save the world with his wisdom, if only people listened. He's real; though a lot of what he does seems impossible and super natural. He talks about his amazing life and experiences, he teaches us things, spends time with us, etc. Last night, I swear, he talked to a cat! I know it seems hard to believe, but with my own eyes, he did it. he also gave me a very strong, very real demonstration of spirital energy... wow!
