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!!

What a Day

This week my partner in Como and I had one of our monthly business meetings and what a fabulous day it turned out to be.

We had been discussing recently the prospect of finding some premises that felt a little more permanent.  Something  that was more our own, somewhere we could call home.  So our first job on Friday was to look at a local village hall.  Unsure whether it would be suitable or not, we met the booking lady and had a look around.  It had everything we needed, was a good size, the rent was affordable and there was parking space.  What’s more, it was hardly used, it was likely that we could store some of our stuff and there was a possibility of us being given a key if we made regular bookings.  The hall had a lovely feeling and we know that we could add to the energies.  Whilst we were standing talking the door suddenly banged shut and Gill, my partner, felt that our friends upstairs wanted us to be there and they were shutting us in!!

From there we went to The Office, otherwise known as our local!  We found a quiet little corner and sat and discussed our current events, what we could and couldn’t do, what was feasible, what we could afford, etc.  As we talked we began to realise that we were being guided, we were being told of the way to proceed and before too long we had a new structure and a new approach for the coming year.  We had a plan that we both felt comfortable with and that we knew would work.

Our next task was a visit to a local Psychic Fair.  It was a bit of a recce really as we wanted to see how it was run, what sort of stalls were there and whether we could pick up anybody for our own Spiritual and Holistic Fair in December.  The visit was well worthwhile as everyone we talked to were really positive and we picked up quite a few customers.  We are now confident that we will have a hall packed with stalls selling some wonderful stuff, plus some really good people giving readings.

Our day culminated with our Reiki Share Group.  Three new ladies joined us for the evening, two of whom were visitors from Kent and Spain – wow, how good was that.  We totalled 12 and what a fabulous night we had.  The Share was fairly quiet and felt a lot calmer than the one we held a couple of months ago but, nevertheless, the energies were fantastic and each of us got a lot from it.  We are all growing in our knowledge and experience and are moving forward on our pathways.

Phew, what a day!

An Eventful Share

This week we had another Reiki Share and it felt like we stepped up a notch and moved on to a whole new level.  I don’t know if this kind of thing happens in other shares, but we all felt that it was more than just giving and receiving Reiki that evening.

We started in our usual way with an opening prayer, asking for the perfect evening for all concerned, asking for protection, and asking to connect with higher beings.  We had a 10-minute meditation and then moved over to the bed.

The energy was high and we all felt a lot of activity in the room.  Reiki was flowing and I felt the energy like I never have before.  What was amazing was how we all felt so connected, that we worked as one rather than individuals.  Then three things happened.

We became aware that we had a lot of observers present.  They wanted us to know that they were extremely grateful to us for doing what we were doing and that, although we had free will, we had chosen to spend our evening working in this way.  They reminded us that gratitude worked both ways.  I felt really humbled.

The second thing to happen gave us slight cause for concern as we all felt, to varying degrees, that there was someone present who we thought shouldn’t really be there.  We wondered how he had got through when we had been so particular about protection.  But, it turned out, he was not harmful in any way just extremely pompous and arrogant.  He was a master healer and appeared to be on one massive ego trip so he had been brought to us to observe and learn.  As soon as we recognised him for what he was, he left.

The final thing that happened was that I became aware of a bus pulling up and loads of people getting off.  They stood milling around watching us and appeared to be waiting for something.  We finished working and formed a circle to give thanks and close ourselves down.  It was at that point that we directed Reiki to the people from the bus and bathed them in white light.  They got back on the bus and went on their way.  Most strange.

So a most unusual evening, and what an amazing one.  Not only had we all given and received Reiki, we had helped the arrogant man on an ego trip by sending him off into the light, we had bathed a bus load of people in Reiki energy and while light, and we had received grateful thanks from the higher beings.   I so love what I do!

Do you have eventful Reiki Shares too?

What a Difference a Month Makes

With the first Reiki Share under my belt, and such a successful one at that, it was time to think of the second.  I had always assumed that, once started, the Shares would just continue every month with maybe the odd new student.  They would be good, and we could learn and try different ways of working, but essentially there would just be our monthly Share.  How wrong was I!

At the first Share, a month ago, there was just four of us.  We worked really well together and the energy was amazing.  We all agreed that what we had was special and that there was so much potential within the group.  We spent as much time talking about spiritual development as we did sharing Reiki.  I think we each realised that night that there was much more to do than share with each other, although I have to say the Reiki was pretty phenomenal.  All four of us were, or nearly, Reiki Masters and as such wanted to explore and develop our spiritual awareness.  And so that first night saw the conception of our “Spiritual Development Group”. 

Last night the four of us met again and that group was born.  We spent our time discussing and forming a structure by which to go forward.  We agreed that an hour was nowhere near long enough and so we decided to meet on a separate evening and we would keep the Shares separate.  Once a month, on a Wednesday evening, we will be exploring and discovering our spiritual side and working with our guides to tap into the potential that is within each of  us.  How exciting is that?

But we all agreed that the Reiki Shares should continue, and grow, as we recognised this was a vital part of our development too.  We have now opened this to anyone trained in Reiki and will meet once a month, on a Friday evening, to share Reiki.

Because the Share Group is growing, we had to change location and this, I must admit, was giving me some concern over the past couple of weeks.  We booked the local village hall which had all the facilities we needed plus a large car park.  But I was concerned that it might be too big and that the energy would not be right.  I needn’t have worried because after the space had been cleared the energy began to build nicely and by the time we started the atmosphere was good.  Last night we welcomed two new ladies.  After a cup of tea and a getting-to-know-you session we had a 10-minute meditation and then moved to the bed for some Reiki.  What a  fantastic session we had!  We all worked well together, tried some different ways of working and of course we each received some fabulous Reiki energy.  A brilliant share. 

I hope these will continue to grow and that all who join will experience the fantastic Reiki energy that we did last night.

So, in a month we have formed a good, and growing, Reiki Share Group and we also have an exciting Spiritual Development Group.    

And if all of that was not enough for one month, my very good friend Gill Moss and I have been discussing some ideas we have for a very exciting joint venture - but more about that next time.
