Reiki - The Healing Begins

 

Forgiveness ~ easy to say ~ is it hard to do?

As we prepared to leave the group that night our Reiki master said go home and go over all that had been learnt and for each to take note of what transpires through the night. Some of you will have an experience and some may not, follow the experience look, listen and learn. Tomorrow when you return we will talk about your experiences.

My friend and I are in the car and we are laughing, happy and talking that we're so tired we'd probably just drop off to sleep and wake up not remembering a thing. 

Not so. My revelation came through early hours of the morning.  I dreamt I was choking, I was eating some food and began to choke.  I could hear voices they sounded distant, I had this real bad pain at the back of my head, just down where the skull meets the neck.

Just before the pain hit I remember my head moving forward or being jolted and I remembered a cracking sound and there was this intense pain and my head felt really heavy. I'm lying there in my dream and thinking what is this pain, who are those voices, the pain starts to spread up over the crown of my head through the brow and then the eyes.  My throat hurts, what happened, what happened I'm asking myself, what happened?

And then it all comes 'flooding' back, the memories, the pain, the hurt, the who, the when, the why and I begin to cry; quietly at first, then big wracking sobs that shake my whole body, I curl up like a baby and cry. I remember that sound, it was terrible, I sounded like a wounded animal. The sound was forming deep in the base of my throat, I was dribbling, I was cold, I couldn't stop crying and I couldn't open my eyes.  I wanted to wake up, to end this horrible dream, but I couldn't.

When I realised what had happened and who had caused my pain, I started calling out 'I'm sorry dad, I'm sorry dad, I didn't mean to do it dad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry dad!'  I cried and cried and cried, it was no longer a dream, it was a reality! but I couldn't open my eyes.  I began to think what do I do? How do I stop this pain, and I did the only thing I could think of, I called out to 'God' to help me, I remember calling out, help, help me God! I don't know what to do! help me!

I felt this warmth envelop me, like someone had placed a blanket over and around me, it was a calming warmth... my tears slowed and then dried, my breathing returned to normal no longer gasping and then I saw my dad, he was standing beside me crying, telling me he was sorry, he didn't mean to hit me so hard. I reached out and touched his arm and said “I forgive you dad, I forgive you, please don't cry dad, I forgive you”.

As soon as I finished saying those words, everything was different, I could straighten or stretch my body, I just felt warmth and a peaceful calmness and I was smiling.  I've never felt so much at peace as I did at that time.

Well I obviously slept because I woke up in the morning all bright and happy and thought did that really happen?  I wouldn't have acknowledged it if it wasn't for the band of 'warmth' that surrounded the back of my skull at the join to the neck, hmmmm I say to myself while waiting for my ride. I'm not going to talk about my experience with the group, no way, this was way too personal to share.

There were 200 students at that weekend seminar. Our master made everyone share. I tried to get out of it, I was hoping she wouldn't realise I hadn't spoken, no such luck! I was the last to speak. We shed a lot of tears that morning myself and my fellow students.

We had a special healing session after I had finished speaking and others came forward during the day to give thanks for my sharing such a personal experience with them. Some gave thanks because through my words they too, were able to 'forgive and let go'.

Reiki heals ... in so many different ways....

Make An Appointment

beware of the hidden 'snake'

Not long after I received my Reikei certificate, I began consulting as a Tarot Reader and Reikei Practitioner. I was so excited when I received my first phone call.  I had advertised in our local paper.

A rather suave sounding male voice was on the other end.... 'hello, I'm ringing up about your ad for Reikei healing, can you explain what you actually do?'

I proudly proceeded to explain what a Reikei treatment involved.  I don't think he heard a word I said 'cause as I stopped to take a breath, he quickly came in with this question..... 'can I take my clothes off'

Needless to say I was speechless for mere seconds then I replied 'no, you don't take your clothes off!'.  'I would prefer to take my clothes off!' he says.... I say, 'that's not how I practice Reikei... and if you want to take your clothes off, then I suggest you find another practitioner!'.

'Sorry, I'm happy to keep my clothes on,... when can you fit me in?' he asks. I give a time and a date, which he accepted... and then I went and said something really strange.....

Earlier, while talking with this person I had spoken in the 'I' or 'singular' and then as I was finishing off the conversation e.g. 'look forward to seeing you'... I realised that I was speaking in the 'plural'... “We look forward to meeting with you; We will be here waiting for you”... etc. as I hung up the phone, I thought to myself that was unusual, why did I say that.

Well folks, that just shows how 'green' I was back then. I was so.... naïve.   I laugh even now about that time.... and I always thank my guides/tupuna for stepping in and protecting me.... 'They knew!'

Needless to say he didn't keep his appointment.

~ Come come walk with me ~

as you walk, we walk beside you

A 'Blu' Healer

Heel, now forward... what's that?...I've got the wrong 'heel'

 Beginnings of the 'Blu' Healing Light

A gust of wind blows through, a piece of paper rises on the wind and flattens itself against my thigh. I pick it off and crush it in my hand but not before I spy an unusal word....

I'm walking near shops and bang! I crash into a shop sandwich board advertising services for an accupuncturist and in the tiniest of lettering is that word again....

Appointment time I'm late, try to settle and calm myself, the consultant passes me her card and there's that word again....

Three times in as many weeks that word appeared... that's got to be a sign! How do you pronounce this word? Its pronounced 'raykey' replies the consultant while handing me a flyer. What is it? It is a form of 'healing' allowing the healing energy to flow through your hands, think of it a as a very gentle form of massage.

This word Reikei has happened upon my life three times to many, to be ignored. I follow my instincts and make enquiries and 'like' what I hear. It was a turning point in my life, that day I made a decision... I took a risk, I followed my instincts and I have never looked back.

I attended the 'Reikei' weekend seminar, it was very inspirational, it was the beginning of my journey. It was also the time that 'I' began to 'Heal'.

~ come, come walk with me ~

First time, ever I saw your face

My Beautiful ... Lion King

First time, ever I saw your face

(line from song written by: Ewen MacColl)

you crept into my dreams that night

and lay yourself down to sleep

as I reach out a hand to touch you

a smile plays across my face, happy

you are there, beside me again

slowly I remembered that you had left me

for another more worldly being

I move to touch you one more time

to check that you are really there

we both awake with a start for now

I realise you should not be there

you jump off the bed and run down the hall

I chase after you wanting to see

who you are and why in my dream

I glance down at where you sit

eyes all big and moonlight lit

I see you sitting there no where to flee

this beautiful vision of cat with mane

you were a premonition of what was to come

that first night I met you

my beautiful...'Lion King'

My Lion King

 What matters most... is how you see yourself

Paddles Walter Koni  became a member of our whanau in February 2011, he was already a year old by then; we got him from the animal shelter, great 'cause he was already house trained.

He seems to know when one of us is sick, he comes and lie's with you always placing some part of his body on you. When Paddles came to live with us I had only been days out of the hospital, here he was this cat that wasn't even 24 hours in our house, we total strangers to him, he sized me up, he jumped on my legs, then walked up onto my chest and lay down with his 'curled' back touching my chin and his head and front paws resting on my breast nearest my heart, then his purring started, soft at first, then louder and louder, I could feel it rattling in my chest then tickling my throat, then the warmth spread right round my throat, after awhile I started sweating he was so hot, then he jumped of hid behind the lounge chair. The warmth soften the flem and it was easier for me cough and swallow. I had had a very large 'goiter' taken out of my throat, the surgeon nearly severed the nerves to my 'voice box' my neck was painful and I could barely speak.

that night, I didn't take any drugs to sleep
....my Lion King and I slept in the chair.
