Challenging the Unknow, Spooky Trail

I will be attending Spooky Trail organized by API (Asia Paranormal Investigator) on the 11th September 2009. Many people thought that I must be crazy to attend such event on the seventh month of Lunar New Year.

If you have studied and understand Reiki, this will not meant anything as you are the greatest and brightest light. Your light will dispel others that may harm you.

Scientifically, there is no way to prove it. However, as I go on this trail, I will try to remember the experiences that I had and blog it here.

If you have something goose pimples running down your hand or anywhere, according to my Reiki Master, this may be the negative energy in the air. Not spirit or anything, just negative energy.

I guess a lot of people will think that these negative energy are those "thing". Anyway, I will be on this educational trail on the 11th September from 9pm to 2am to experience whatever that I encounter.

A Great Blog

I would like to share with everyone a great blog (in my opinion). Being skeptical over Reiki initially, I tried to my best knowledge to search for answers.

Most of the Reiki website is about conducting Reiki I or II courses. However, having said that, I think it is very important to attend such courses as you need to experience Reiki in order to understand it.

I could not find any website that it not talking about Reiki but still have the same concept on Reiki. finally, I found this website.

The owner of the blog has has the gift to see, to hear and to speak. She can talk to trees, wind, her higher self, spirits and etc. If you think I am out of my mind, I cannot blame you.

If this is half a year ago, I would not have bothered. However, after learning the principle of Reiki and how Reiki arrived in this world, I must say that I believe her words.

She speaks with confidence. BTW, her name is Joanne. She don't update her blog consistently but I enjoyed reading about her definition of the level of spirits.

Go and read some of her stuff and let me know how you feel.

Follow Up on my Reiki Journey

So far, after I learning Reiki, I have not seen a doctor at all.

Although I must stress that it is INCORRECT to say that Reiki prevents you from falling sick. If you are sick, see a doctor. Reiki can help to enhance the healing.

In my case, my experienced before and after learning Reiki is slightly different.

Before
I will have a feeling of falling sick. After that I might just fall sick.

After
I will have a feeling of falling sick. And my mind is telling me to shutdown (sleep/rest). After a good sleep, I feel fine again. Also, when I think I am falling sick, I self-heal (not the full set) but according to what I feel is right.

Is this the effect of Reiki? I am not sure. However, I think our mind is a powerful tool. Your mindset can really change things.

BTW, my fingers are still feeling the tingly feeling. I am still exploring how it can be controlled. For example, I can sometimes cause a hot sensation on my wife's hand. Sometimes, I cannot.

Is it because of the environment or is it that I do not know how to control myself to let Reiki energy generate this feeling?

So far, whatever is taught, I find that they are logical. I am able to relate to them. This is especially true when I read an article on the third eye.

This person describes in vivid details about how he can see spirits or people that had passed on. The description is exactly how my Reiki Master had mentioned. This made me feel that I am starting to understand more.

Everyday is a test and learning phase for me. I will continue to work on my Reiki. Hopefully, one day, I can benefit people.

My next follow up session is coming soon. Actually, this Sunday. Looking forward to it.

Stay Tuned.

Feeling the Reiki Energy

If you read around on the Internet, one of the things that you may noticed is the user experience. For example, some may feel a tingling feeling, some will feel heat or some will feel cold. It is difficult to define, sometimes.

I read in Wikipedia that scientist dismissed Reiki as no scientific proof.

There is no scientific evidence for either the existence of ki or any mechanism for its manipulation, and a systematic review of randomized clinical trials conducted in 2008 did not support the efficacy of reiki or its recommendation for use in the treatment of any condition

Recently (actually these few days), I did a test with my wife. I use my palm to send energy to her palm. After a few seconds, she says she can feel the heat. I took maybe it is coincidence. I tried a few more times and confirmed that she can feel it.

I was happy with the results. Not because I can emit heat to her palm. It is because it means that my body can let Reiki energy flows through my palm to her without touching her.

As mentioned in the teaching, we are just a media for the Reiki energy to pass through us. We are healers but not a healer that has special skills that need to be learnt. Reiki practitioners do have the ability to heal but they are only using the Reiki channeled into their body to heal a person.

I will continue to practice and see if I can have other breakthrough. Stay tuned.

Everyday is a Lesson

Have you wonder why things happen to you (and not the rest)? Have you been in a situation whereby you have already gone through before and you have to repeat again?

Why do you think it has to be you? Why not others?

Actually, I have been having these thoughts for so long. It was not answered until I learnt Reiki. Reiki has put me in a new perspective that I have never encounter before. I get answers from Reiki principles.

As mentioned, Reiki is NOT a religion. Therefore, in my opinion, it is good as it breaks all the barrier that individual religion should have. In fact, I am more interested in Religion and beliefs now as I wanted to use Reiki as a system to understand more about them.

Okay, back to the topic on Lessons. In Reiki, a person has to go through lessons are should I say, are going through lessons everyday. With Reiki, I observed more.

For example, you are always late and your boss not like it. You repeated this process and thought that your boss not like you. If you observe, you already have a pattern. You are late and you did not break this pattern. Then it repeat itself by how your boss felt about you being late.

Try this. Being early for a week (try very hard). See if you could break this pattern.

Next example is something that you may not agree with me. If you hate or don't like a person, try this.

Step out. Think in terms of that person. Ask yourself why he/she don't like you. Analyse the situation. Since when did this person started not liking you. Is it something that got to do with an accident? Or is he/she born like that (means he/she don't like people that has similar character as you and not just you).

There are many situations. Think if it has a pattern or not. Some patterns cannot be broken. It is the environment that cause the pattern but if you know it, you will feel much better in that pattern (because you already know it) and you will try to re-invent to get out of that pattern.

Easy? It is not. For myself, I already identified patterns in my life but I am still trying to convince myself to get out of that.

It is easier said than done. However, I believe that once you see the goodness in it, you will be more into it. Be mindful though, some are good patterns and should be continued. The good gets better.

So, why I am not talking about lesson? Actually, lessons are just incidents that you encountered everyday. I brush with an accident will leave you wary of watching out for traffic next time you wanted to do that again. However, good thing is that we can foresee things. Before you do anything, think of the consequences or at least the end results. If you can do that, that is already a lesson learnt (without going through it).

However, if you could not remember it, you will have to go through it again, someday.

Are these things that I mentioned familiar to you? If yes, you are like anybody else, learning lessons.

All these are my thoughts after my Reiki lessons. Do you think they make sense?? Would love to hear from anyone browsing this blog.

Distant Healing

It has been a while since I blogged on Reiki. Not that I am not practicing, maybe there isn't much to blog about. I am exploring everyday.

Recently, a friend of mine has talked about her brother condition and she believed that he is always in need of attention, to the extend that it affected his family life.

He is her elder brother and he is a divorcee with a child. The problem is that he always felt insecure and in needs of attention by his family members. If not, he will make trouble or things difficult for the family.

My friend had called the police many times to ask her brother to get out of the place. Anyway, it doesn't help. So, his parents resorted to Mental Hospital. However, once he is out, he returns back to his usual self which is irritating many of his family members.

While talking about him, I briefly mentioned about Reiki and remote healing. She jumped to the chance for me to perform remote healing on him when I said I could offer help. Seriously speaking, I have never done that to a non-family members before.

Anyway, I took this opportunity to heal him. The next day (night, actually, around 4am), I tried to perform this remote healing and as usual, I could feel my palm when put close together, can detect a gel like sensation. This, to me, is a sign that I have called him or his higher self to be here with me.

I did a symbol 2 to call upon his mental and emotional state of mind for about 15 minutes. However, I did not check with my friend the outcome. I think I will need to perform more times to be more effective.

That's all now.

I Performed a Simple Healing, Finally

Last week, my wife was having a very bad headache suddenly. So, without hesitation, I used Reiki for an informer healing.

What I did was placing my hand on the head position 1 and 2 for a few minutes each.

While placing the hand over the head, I could feel that some pulses are vibrating on the head. It was a strange feeling.

Anyway, after that, she went to sleep and was well again after a few hours.

I guess it is difficult to see if Reiki is the cause for the recovery. But, anyway, the end results is what I wanted, which is the most important.

Cheers! :)

My Reiki Journey (Con't)

Went for a Reiki review on the 25th and 26 April '09. I started Reiki on 4th April '09. So that makes it 20 days into my Reiki Journey.

What has changed?
Mindset and way with words.

Why do I say so?

Mindset
Because with Reiki and its theory of how the World is created, the mindset will shift towards that direction. Everything that you cannot answer, you use the Reiki theory and try to make sense out of it.

I have to admit that based on Reiki's teaching, I am able to answer most of the questions that I had in my mind (some of them in my mind for many years). And what do you get? My answer is "You get to become wiser"

Way with Words
Because Reiki teaches you how thoughts (good or bad) are transformed into words and words with intent becomes a command (if you say it many times) and it will manifest into actions.

Take this example (I think it is quite true). If you see something or someone doing such a stupid thing, "You ask to yourself or to your friends, why is he soo.... stupid to do that thing".

If you repeat it many times, based on Reiki teachings, your angels may think that this is the experience that you wanted to feel and this situation may manifest itself for you to experience.

Think about it. Does this happen to you before?

In my follow up with Reiki Master Majid, we were taught to draw 3D Triangle, coupled with the Reiki II signs. This Triangle is to aid and help us in the healing.

We were also taught how to perform remote healing, actual one-to-one healing. But I guess I need some time to get use to. For example, covering a person's eye with tissue paper and placing your hand above it is something that you would not do normally. Nevertheless, it is a good experience for Reiki.

We were given homework to do.

1. To perform a self heal
2. To perform a self heal remotely
3. To perform a healing on someone
4. To perform a healing on someone remotely

So, far, my experiences with Reiki is that both my hands are always having that tingling feeling. And if I concentrate hard enough and think of a person using the Remote Reiki sign, I am able to feel the "sponge" inside my hand (although they are not touching each other). I can literally feel the shape of this "sponge" and the feeling is a bit strange.

Other than this, I am able to feel the energy of the wall or anything. I guess everyone can. I did not ask around. On one occassion, I found that there was a "hole" on one of the wall. I asked Majid and he told me to send more Reiki energy onto it.

If you have not been attuned to Reiki, I guess you must be wondering if I am in the right mind. I must say that there is really energy in everything. If you don't believe, hold your hand vertically facing each other and pretending to move towards each other (like clapping your hand but do it slowly). Feel the energy of it when you move your hand towards and away from each other. Do it slowly. Do you feel a springy force?

The Secret

This is really what it is all about. Your Thoughts, Emotion and everything will have an impact on you, even if you don't like it. Your thoughts attract the action or reaction. Law of Attraction. Think about it deeper. You will understand.

Thought is a Very Powerful Tool

In Reiki Training, we were told to provide intent when healing. To provide intent, we have to think intensively on it and tell our mind on the intended results.

I find that in other areas of healing or others things, mind power is very powerful. Here are two videos with similar content of someone bending a spoon.

Do not be mistaken that this is a trick spoon whereby it bends itself. The person use a very focus intent on the spoon to alter its state and when this is done, the spoon could be bend easily by hand. Difficult to understand? Watch the video..

Nice Video to Share

This video is very interesting. It shows that everything in this world has a life in it. For example, when water was exposed to music, it changes it crystal structure to become very beautiful. Also, it shows that our mind and thoughts are very powerful tools to influence the outcome.

So, What Now, after Reiki Attunement?

It has been a week after my Reiki Attunement. What has changed? Seriously, nothing much in terms of Spiritual enlightenment. However, my thought process has changed.

For example, I will think or process my thoughts in terms of Reiki beliefs. I also notice I am more aware of the surroundings. I begin to listen to my thoughts more carefully than before.

There are others things that happened but I am not sure it is related to Reiki. I had dreams of friends. Of course, I have dreams before Reiki, but I tend to forget them after that. However, this time, I remembered them quite vividly. I also dreamt of a friend who had a heart attack, followed by a stroke. He told me that he is getting better and his left hand is able to move more freely now. Truthfully, due to some reasons, I did not contact him but I got to know his condition from other friends. Why did he appear in my dream, I am not sure.

That all for now. Will update again.

My Reiki II Course

Sorry for not updating my progress. Did you know that you can get tired just attending Reiki Class?

After my first Reiki I attunement, I felt so tired. And this goes the same to my 2 fellow course mates.

Anyway, back to Reiki II. Reiki II is something like a booster to Reiki I. With Reiki II, you can perform distant healing, jump to your past or future to make changes. Sounds hype, I think so.

I am still new to it. So, I listened with open heart and mind.

By going back to the past, it is a visualization of your past and if you have a bad experience when you were young, you can write your date and year and maybe a picture of yourself in that year as reference. Go back to the point where you registered the bad experience, Reiki it.

By going to the future, it is visualization of the event that is taking place in the future. Itcan be a meeting that you need to attend in a few days. Visualize the place that the meeting is going to take place and Reiki it. Reiki will appear itself when the time comes.

If you see how I write, you will notice that I uses visualization a lot. Reiki needs you to visualize. To be successful, Reiki alone is not enough. For example, the meeting. The results depend on how much effort you put in. If you don't put in any effort, Reiki cannot help you. However, if you put in effort, example like going through the meeting mentally and preparation yourselves with questions that you are going to be asked, Reiki will perform the necessary to get you through.

All these are performed with the help of Reiki Symbols. More about that later.

I can vouch for that, even without Reiki. If you go to a meeting with confidence and adequate preparation, most of the time, your meeting will be successful. I have done it before, so it is true.

And yes, regarding the power you received on Reiki II, it will be more. An example to describe power (this example is from my Reiki Master).

A person without Reiki is like a kampung with just a few light bulbs.
A person with Reiki I is like a power station that lights up the kampung or town.
A person with Reiki II is like a power station that lights up a country.

However, to have bigger power, you need bigger cable. For Reiki II, you will need to upgrade your cable (which in this case is your Chakras) to a much bigger ones so that the energy can be channelled properly.

Another booster to your power station is Reiki Symbols. In Reiki II, we are taught 3 symbols that are supposed to be secret to those who are not attuned. However, only those that are attuned willl be able to use them effectively.

Each symbol has their power and properties. One can increase power of Reiki. The other one can perform mental and emotion healing. And the last one can perform distant healing.

Normally, we are not allow to share the symbols. So, please don't ask me for them. This is to honour the teaching of my Reiki Master.

However, the Internet is filled with them. Google and you can find out. You can see that they are similar but NOT the same. According to my Reiki Master, he attuned us with his symbols and therefore, his symbols will have effect on us.

Anyway, during the course, we were told to draw the symbols repetitively and I must say that by drawing those symbols, I have a floating effect. This also affect my two other course mates. It seems that the energy in the room was felt by us.

We were taught to do a few simple exercise like performing a PSi ball. It is just a simple gesture of putting your two palms, facing each other. You will be able to fill the "Chi" or "Ki" when you try to move closer or away from the them. My experience is that it seems like a ball or spring in your hand. Quite an amazing feeling.

Next, we were told that our energy can bounced off the wall. So, we experiment by using our palms, facing the wall and try to push and pull from it. Again, I felt the springy feeling.

Trust me, I have asked my colleagues to try but not successful. But, as for the PSi ball or Chi ball, I can actually do it without any Reiki Attunement. You can give it a try.

This is not the end. In fact, this is just the beginning. My Reiki Master will meet up with us end-April to see our progress. In the meantime, we will do our own practice.

I will blog about my experiences. Watch out for them!

In conclusion, for Reiki II, my experiences that I felt:

• Giddyness during the Symbol exercise.
• Floating sensation after the attunement (only me, no explanation)

That all for now!

My Reiki I Course

The course started at 11am. My Reiki Master, Majid was already there to clear the room of negative energy and prepare for the lesson.

I was very curious of the attunement. However, the most part of the course, he is talking about the history of Reiki and Energy Life Force that Reiki has. I was seriously amazed at the depth that the course touches. Many questions that I thought has no answers are answered based on Reiki 's theories.

Thinking about it, the talking of history and etc is already the attuning myself to accept Reiki. The course talk about the body that will be receiving the energy once it is attuned and how we can improve our energy through breathing exercises (some called it meditation).

The attunement process took only about 10 to 15 minutes whereby my basic 7 Chakras were unblocked (if they are blocked). Think of Chakras as ferry wheel. If they don't turn or turn wrongly, it will affect the energy.

After attunement, we were told that in this modern age, Reiki Master do not attune the full energy immediately to our body as our body may not be able to handle them. So, the attunement is actually energy in packages where it will open up one by one over the 1 to 2 weeks.

• A very easy to understand way of how Reiki works as told by my Reiki Master is.
• Think that the energy or information that you are receiving as downloading a program to your computer.
• Think of yourself as a computer with an OS (operating system). If you have only a Windows 95 and you are receiving advance information from Windows XP, it may NOT work even though you already downloaded the program.
• The body must "upgrade" itself to be able to receive the Energy (or to execute the downloaded files).

A part of the human body has animal instinct. For example, animals usually fight to stay on or becomes frighten and run away when confronted. in ancient time, human also fight to survive and they do becomes frightened.

In Reiki, we have the change this perspective to allow the start up program (fight or fright) to become a program attuned to Reiki. We must program it to follow the Reiki Principles which I will share in my future post.

There are many information shared but the fundamentals are all in the Reiki Principles.

At the end of our lesson, I requested to talk about Qi (Chi or Energy) that we can feel. So, our Reiki Master actually requested us to align our palm and slowly move them towards each other. Indeed, we can immediately feels a tension between the palms. Actually, I have did it before the attunement. However, after the attunement, it seems that my palms get hotter.

Anyway, we also proceed to see our Aura. I was the "model" and my fellow course mates were able to see my aura. I have to admit, I cannot see any of it.

It is still too early for me to comment on Reiki. We were told to practice the breathing for the next 30 days to improve the energy around us. I will be doing that. Also, we were told that the best time to practice the breathing is at 4am as the sun is down and the night is serene.

To summarize my first close encounter with Reiki: -

• I felt the heat in my palm getting stronger.
• I felt my heartbeat becomes faster for a moment (not due to excitement)

That is it for day 1. Hope you enjoy it.

Counting down to my First Reiki Attunement

Today is Day 3 of my vegetarian diet. Counting down to my first Reiki attunement this Saturday.

Actually, I am very excited for a few reasons: -

• Does Reiki Work?
• Will it affect me mentally?
• Can I use it to help people?

Of course, I had done some research on this Reiki topics and seems to me that many other healing (although not in the name of Reiki) do involve the use of your inner self for healing.

Therefore, I truly believe that our human body can do much more. What do you think?

My Reiki Journey

Why did I start this blog?

First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Joe, and I am from Singapore. I have a few websites with me but this website is dedicated to my well-being.

You see, starting this year, I had a terrible headache that lasted 3 months. It is just this month that it managed to go away. However, I think that I need to do something to prevent it from coming back.

I searched through the net and try to find a way that do not need any drugs or medication. I stumbled upon Reiki.

Actually, this is not my first encounter with Reiki. It was 2 years ago that my sister-in-law joined a Reiki class. She wanted us (my wife and me) to join them. All I know was that I would need to meditate and etc. I thought it is a scam or some religious kind of sermons and etc. I gave it a pass.

Fast forward, 1 year ago, my sister-in-law had already accomplished level 2 of Reiki and she is able to share the benefit of it, especially on her children.

Again, I am skeptical over the wonderful claims. However, one day, my wife had a bad toothache and she uses her Reiki over the cheek for a few minutes. The toothache on her was gone for a few minutes.

As mentioned, recently I had a bad headache and suddenly Reiki comes to my mind and I did a Google on it and found that there are NO scientific truth on it. This is based on the latest research (2008) on Reiki.

I always believe that our human body is able to do more than what it is performing now. I also believe that with the correct mindset and attitude, the human body can attune to itself with wonderful results.

Reiki seems to be speaking in this direction. Therefore, with my sister-in-law's help, I get connected with her Reiki Master, Majit.

I will be starting my first lesson (Reiki Level One) this Saturday and I will blog about my progress. If it works, I will try to explain and explore the reason. If it doesn't, I hope to find out why.

For this week, I was told to take vegetarian food. This Saturday will be my first day on Reiki. Counting down 5 days from now.

If you are already on Reiki, let me know more. I would be glad to hear from you :)
