Reiki and Unconscious Forgetting

Lately as I walk down the Reiki path I marvel from time to time how Reiki students seem to slip into a state of unconscious forgetting. Forgetting to utilize the gifts they have received in their various Reiki trainings from 1st degree to Mastery. A friend was fretting about not being able to be with her sister during her surgery. I said send her a distant treatment. Her response was,  "Oh, I forgot how to do that." Then her mind took off in another direction and I said, "well, then treat yourself" and her reply was that she hasn't done that either. A Reiki master forgets, to treat her pills that are causing some nausea and after treating the pills the nausea is gone. Another has been bothered for years with ear problems, but hasn't committed to treating herself during this whole time. Then states there has been immediate changes with just a few sessions. Surprise, Surprise.

So what is this unbalanced state that everyone falls into.. The State of Unconscious Forgetting is a place people go when they are not present, not conscious, not in tune with their patterns, their beliefs, their sacred support systems of meditation and Reiki. A place of non action which results from not being in touch with the most conscious system they have ever learned. The simple Reiki, balanced in the pure form and essence. Available at any given moment and just a hand placement away.

"Reiki On",  Mrs Takata said, "Just Do It".  Come on, all you forget-tors, wake up and become Conscious Remember-ers. Keep Reiki flowing in your lives. Its the best gift you have ever received. If everyone who has been trained in Reiki kept forgetting to use it, then in one generation, Reiki would be gone from the face of this planet. We have to keep Reiki alive within ourselves and alive for future generations. It is our duty. We are the keepers of the flame.

A Final Voyage

A friend of mine had had a relapse of his cancer last spring. I went to see him and was able to give him Reiki and send him distant Reiki treatments. It was at this time, I was able to thank him for all he had done for me and that I cherished his friendship tremendously. While not an outwardly, spiritual man, we often discussed the underlying spiritual foundation in our lives. He was open to Reiki and asked many questions about it.

The other night I was awakened, by what one would call, a prophetic dream. All of us in the dream were boaters and, to make a long dream short, we were traveling in the dark and I felt we should tie the boat up for the night, but my twin stated we should just drift for the night. I asked my friend and twin to show me the charts and the plan for this journey. They said they had none. I was adamant, to go on a journey, we needed charts and plans. They both said again that there were none.

I knew, intuitively, that my friend was near death and before I could call, his son called to give me the news that he was under hospice care. I sent another Reiki treatment last night. Today, as I was out making my round of errands, I had the sudden urge to pull over and make a call to his wife. My friend had just died.

So, on our last journey across the sea of consciousness, we are adrift, and we can no longer be at the helm. We have surrendered and have let go of our earthly attachments. God is steering our vessel, and he needs no charts or plans to bring us home to be with him.

Reiki And The Autonomic Nervous System

The ANS is the automatic wiring of our system. It is the "Flight or Fight" response that controls all our organs, glands and systems. In today's hectic lifestyles, people in great numbers are living unbalanced lives, can't sleep without sleeping pills, have hypertension, heartburn, gastric reflux, auto-immune diseases, and are driving their bodies in high gear with multi tasking, and people are out of control. They are swinging on the extreme ends of the pendulum. Rage, fear, depression, hyperactivity, The list goes on and on, chaos prevails and I sit in my favorite Reiki chair and send treatments to lots of friends.

Reiki brings balance to all the organs, glands and systems. One treatment will support our internal foundation. I've been contemplating this the last few days, so this is what I'd like to share.
Since we are all hard-wired for the autonomic response we can look at each body and ask, " Am I wired for flight or fight?"


I consider my spiritual body as one that is steady and stands firm no matter what is happening in my life.

My mental body certainly stands firm and will fight, if push comes to shove.

My physical body is wired for fight, but with age the grip to fight seems to lessen.

My emotional body, as is with most people, was fragile from birth and would run as fast as it could away from any confronting situation, however, with time and lots of work, I have learned to be there in the middle of confrontation, not running away or fighting.

Reiki provides each of us to neutralize the extreme reactions, to bring balance in a chaotic life, to give our overworked glands, systems and organs a moment of rest, reprieve and an opportunity to regain balance in an unbalanced life. Life is a teeter totter, we are riding up and down all the time, but Reiki provides such an incredible fulcrum that creates equanimity at every swing of the pendulum.

I wrote an aphorism several years ago:
Become an action figure
Not a reaction figure

Reiki Hands In The Sands

Recently, I was at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. Someone had placed their hands in the beautiful white sand which is made of gypsum. I couldn't pass up this wonderful photo opportunity. The purity of the dunes and energy  is breath-taking. My great niece, Georgia, has fun making a "Sand Angel". I reflect upon the joyous nature of Reiki and how pure the form and essence is. After sliding down a dune, Georgia says, "I tried it and liked it, lets do it again". So it is, with all of us, we tried it (Reiki) and we liked it, so we do it again and again.

2010 Reiki Review Anapra, Mexico

 Yesterday, I awoke at 0400 hrs, so excited to return to Los Ninos Clinic in Anapra, Mexico. The morning sun broke thru with some special angels flying overhead.  Jean checks to make sure I had loaded the car full of goodies for the Reiki Mothers.

 Jean Ferris, Reiki Master, Sister Carol Wirtz, Maria Isabel Acosta, translator and myself journeyed across the Mexican border to the Proyecto Los Ninos in the colonia of Anapra. The long lines of traffic took 1.5 hours to get through the crossing.

All the Reiki mothers were there with with their joyous smiles, busily writing their Reiki experiences and happy to see "maestra, Jeem".









Jean presented the clinic with a poster stating the Reiki Precepts in Spanish.

We all shared our Reiki Experiences: the mothers are using Reiki on themselves, their family, friends and even people outside their immediate circles. Their confidence is building and their sharing profound. With all the violence in Mexico, one mother stated her older son was shot in the groin area at close range, so, not only was there a gunshot wound to heal, but second degree burns that would need skin grafting. With Reiki, both the wound and the burn healed and skin grafts were not necessary.

The special grab bags were filled with beautiful silk scarves for each mother. Each scarf was a perfect match for their outfit. 

After we treated each other we had a delicious lunch of fried chicken, thai-peanut coleslaw and chocolate Christmas cake. I made the comment to the mothers," this is the only review that Jean feeds her students." They wanted to know why? Jean replied," this is the place where the student's gratitude of Reiki is so great."

 
 
 
 
 
 
I was moved to see how much the mothers had changed in one year. The Sisters of Charity do so many wonderful things for the mothers; from giving them a secure, safe place to administer therapeutic regimes, support each other, have personal make-overs, and become confident women trying to take care of their families in this drug-war torn country. I was also moved to see how 2 of the children who were present had changed. One girl was beginning to ambulate, while last year she did not have head control, and another very involved boy had developed some hand to mouth coordination, his smiles and laughing were greatly appreciated. Listening to Sister Carol give reports on the children was music to our ears. I took Maria Isabel into the other area of the clinic to show her the photos on the wall of all the children who had passed to the other side. There was Angel's photo who died last Feburary. His mother Isidra, is still having a hard time with his death. She cared for him for 26 years. Death is a breath away for some of the fragile children. It is all in God's hands who lives and who dies. It is always a reality check to hear the horror stories of how these ladies were ushered into this life. So, to see them vibrant, healthy and happy, is a milagro, a miracle. We really have to hold the Sisters of Charity and Jean Ferris in high esteem for doing such good
deeds. The changes are remarkable.

Emotional Healing

Today, I spoke with a friend, not knowing she was out of town. Her life long friend of 50 + years had died. She was able to get there the morning of her death. While she spoke, there was a strength in her voice, which rapidly started to disenergrate, as she stated the day before her departure, she had to euthanize her cat. Speaking about this event had a greater impact on her emotions than her friend dying. She was distraught, so I offered to send her a distant mental-emotional treatment which she readily accepted.

People's lives are filled with significant traumas. Another friend fell and fractured her neck, another friend fell and broke her back while another is trying to mend a broken heart. Yet others are dealing with cancer treatment choices, loosing their jobs or dealing with the death of a parent. The list goes on and on, and the scenarios seem to escalate with the passing of time
.
We have to have a steady state of mind-emotion-body and spirit to deal with the karmic roller-coaster that we are riding. Mental-emotional Reiki treatments are so effective during times of upheavel, dispair, anger, confusion and frustration. In a matter of minutes, the mind calms and becomes clear, the ruthless edge of emotional discharge is muted and we begin to think clearly and act rationally. We can then address our issues in a balanced fashion.

Reiki is such a simple solution to such complex human issues. Use it often, and let it take care of you, by bringing balance in an unbalanced world.
