My self healing ritual

I work best in a structured framework. I need routine for important issues. So I have set times and places for my meditations. In the morning I ground myself, protect myself, and pray. I normally do tat downstairs as I am the only one up.

I do my self healing upstairs in the bedroom before I got to bed. Itake off all my jewelry, light a candle, burn some incense, turn out the light, turn on some suitable music then meditate and self heal for about 10 to 15 minutes. Once I have thanked my guide I go into a short time of prayer.

This is what works for me.

Tonights session went well - apart from one of the cats jumping on my lap part of the way through. Memo to self - must shut the door next time!

I seem to have much more tingling in my hands and feet than I have had before. I was also able to just play music and not listen to my home made guided meditation.

One non reiki thing I want to record is that I attempted again to send Penny to Edna.

Self healing report

I have just done my third independent self healing session. Now I have got into a routine its going much better.

I still haven't got the home made guided meditation track quite right - but the meditation and self healing session went OK.

I saw some red today - not much though. That could have been because I turned the light off and onlt had the candle as light. I can't turn off my rational brain! But I did sort of see some shapes. None as clear as when I saw the outline of a figure on Saturday but I felt something was trying to appear.

I didnt know what to expect when I started the self healing. I suppose I hoped I would see a sudden and obviosu improvment in my back or my IBS. Ib fact both are better - but still niggling at me.What I did NOT expect was to feel as energietc and motivated as I was this morning. I accidentally did nearly 40 minutes on the Wii fit this morning - and felt great. I havent used the wii fit for several days and normally just getting to 20 minutes would have been a triumph. I have also noticed I feel much calmer. I dont feel overwhelmed by Edna's problems - and I was a;so quite calm at work today even though it got fairly busy.

I also slept better last night than I had done for some days.

I am so convinced this is a result of the reiki that I was quite impatient to do tonights session. I have decided to do it before I go to bed - and decided NOT to rush upstairs and do it early in a fit of enthusiasm. Routine works for me.

Heres hoping I feel as good tomorrow as I did today

self healing Monday

I tried to create a guided meditation to helpme with this - and didnt succeed until after I had done the session. I'm not that good with technology sadly.

However I have done a self healing session. Nothing spectacular - but it felt better than my previous attempts. I light a candle and have incense burning. And this time I remembered to take off my jewelery - which I forgot before . I try to switch on my reiki by lighting a candle in my mind.

I felt the normal tingling in my hands and feet - and this time I was aware of tingling in the palms of my hands as well in the fingers. I am guessing that is a good sign.

I didnt feel or see anything special - but I did dimly see an eye - but nowhere as clear as it was during the attunement. And no colours either .

I can't really say I am aware of reiki flow. I cant really say I am aware of any huge improvemnt in my IBS but my back does feel better.

I am not really into a routine with self healing yet. I am still a little tense about keeping vanishing while Tony is up and around. I will probably relax and do better with my meditation when I am doing it in what I think of as 'my' time. I must add I have no reason to think Tony minds at all! I am just a real worry guts!

New thinking/

It says in the manual that after attunemnet some people find themselves thinking ina new way or with a new belief system.

This journal is to record my progress as I practice reiki so it seems appropraite to record here an insight I have gained today.

I went to see Edna today and came away feeling emotional - angry and upset. But I decided to try and listen to the voices and learn what they are trying to tell me.

I have come to the conclusion that I am going to learn something from this situation - something that I will able to use in some way in the future. Something that will redeem what seems to be a pointless tragedy

The secondary insight is that maybe if I think hard enough, I will find out I learned something from Alan's tragedy that can be useful.

Food for much thought and meditation

Reiki as part of my life

I keep 3 blogs. My first blog (changing life and times) is all about how I coped with the challenging events of last year. Life is still challenging so it is still going. Its main focus is my health and my struggle to lose weight. The second is about how things go with Edna. I started that so my first blog didnt become overwhelmed with Edna. My third blog (this one) was started because I wanted somewhere to record any psychic stuff. At times the three blogs cross over. Today is one of those days . I feel it worth posting the beggining of todays entry for 'changing life and times' here.

"I got frustrated and annoyed with myself yesterday when my reiki meditation didnt go well. With some help I worked out that a bit of me was angry that I was giving myself something else to do. Do I really have time to learn about reiki when I have to work, do things for Edna , want to spend quality time with those I love....................

The answer is reiki is all about good health and balance. It is SO much more than just the mystical laying on of hands to treat an illness. It is also all about the health of the practitioner. In a way I have been trying to carry out the 5 principals of Reiki for 3 years without realising it.

This blog has been about my health - both physical and mental - during challenging times. Times are still challenging. I have to go and see Edna today and already I can feel my stomach tying itself up in knots as I wonder what I will find when I get there.

I need to be healthy to cope with everything.'


It was a revelation how much of what I already did and thought fitted into reiki. Whether I ever practice as a reiki therapist is irrelevant. I need reiki in my life to stay healthy and cope with my responsibilities.

Its still quite early and I havent meditated yet. I will make an entry about that later

Improvment

I meditated and tried self healing for about 5 minutes before I came to bed tonight, I feel it went much better. I 'saw' more colours during my meditation this time and it felt as if it went better.

I will re-read the manual again and make sure I have it al straight in my mind what I should be doing. Hopefully tomorrow will be a lot better.

First attempt at self healing

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised or downhearted to report that my first attempt at self healing was quite unspectacular. Nothing really happened. I certainly didn't see or feel anything abnormal apart from the normal tingling in my hands and feet.

If you could do it brilliantly at the first attempt, you wouldn't need to keep practising

I do feel quite emotional which could be the result of the meditation - or just my disappointment at what feels like a lack of success.

It is so tough to meditate without guidance. I have tried to find a way to make my own track - but can't and that annoys me as well.

But 'For today do not be angry' Getting annoyed wont help me.

I forgot to take off my jewelery. I forgot to visualize a switch to turn the reiki on. I will have another go this evening and see if the meditation goes any better
