A Reiki Share & A Guide

Last week at our regular Reiki Share I was quite stunned to find myself meeting a guide of a member of our group.

I had been feeling that someone was around us all evening and, with my eyes closed, had seen shadows pass before me when no one in the room had moved.  As “S” settled herself down to receive Reiki, this person came closer to me.  Somehow I just knew he was a guide and he was here for “S”.

I should add here that I don’t “see” or “hear” in the normal sense of the words.  What I have is like a memory although I have no knowledge of what I’m remembering.  Does that make sense?  It’s very hard to describe the way that I connect with spirit.  It is very subtle and therefore I always tend to doubt what I’m getting; I think it’s just my imagination.

So here I was giving Reiki and picking up on these feelings.  I sensed it was a man and quite small in size.  He had a long grey beard that tapered to a point at waist level.  He was in a black robe with his arms crossed in front of him and hands disappearing into his sleeves.  He had a small black hat on his head.  He was Chinese.

He told me, without my hearing him, that he was here for “S” to help her through a situation she was facing at the moment.  He asked me to tell her that.  Now at this point I’m thinking “this is my imagination” but then the thought popped in my head again – “you will tell her, won’t you?” I answered with the thought “Yes, I will” and then “Thank you Missy” came back to me.

I was a little blown away with that because I reasoned that I could well have imagined most of what went on, but no way would I have imagined “thank you Missy” - would I?  

I told “S” when we had finished the Reiki and she was aware that she had a Chinese guide and the fact that he was here to help her with a current situation made perfect sense to her.

When, oh when, will I start to totally trust what I’m getting and not keep thinking it’s all in my head!!

Seeing the Aura

A couple of weeks ago we held the second of our Spiritual Development Workshops at our Como Centre with the fabulous Kitty Phillips.  We started off in our usual way, asking for protection and guidance, connecting with our spirit guides and building energy.

The first activity of the day was to see auras.  Wonderful, I thought, I’ve always wanted to learn how see auras and now I was to be given the chance.  Kitty told us it was fairly simple, everyone could do it and that it just needed a little practise. 

She went on to explain more about the aura, how it is made up, the layers, their colours, etc and then she got us doing some simple practical exercises.  Fine, did all of those with no problem.  I got quite excited and was ready to move on to people.  We worked in pairs and I did exactly as I was told – no aura.  I was so disappointed, she said this would be easy.  I told Kitty what was happening, that all I could see was this milky/yellowish band around the head – “that, my lovely”, she said, “is an aura!”

OMG – I had been seeing auras on and off for years without knowing it.  I had always put it down to reflection or just a trick of the eyes – I honestly never realised that I was seeing aura.

So I’ve been practising like mad and yes, the more you do it the easier it becomes.  The other day I looked at my friend Jackie and could see her aura growing – how amazing is that?

I think that we do a lot of things on a regular basis without realising it; we also doubt our own abilities.  Sometimes all we need is a little confirmation that we are on the right lines, and that there is no right or wrong way to develop spiritually as we are all different and progress at different rates.  Sometimes all we need is a little confidence boost.
