Supposedly that term is in many forms of religion. Meaning the power to heal through your hands by life force and energy. Supposedly every one of us has that power. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I myself have done it several times. And that was before I knew anything about it. I am not a very religious person either. And every time I have done this I always thought it was just silly. But the other night my friend Jamie came to stay over with me and she ended up having a horrible headache that ended up making her sick. Some time in the middle of the night I went to check on her and I laid my hands upon her head. I then concentrated on my hands and felt energy coming through me...I was almost sure that she would be okay. Sure enough about 20 mins. later her headache was gone and she was back to normal. I then brought up the whole thing with her and we talked about it for awhile. It's sort of like channeling good energy through your body. It's hard to describe the feeling. Does anyone know more about this or have experienced anything that could relate to this?
Look into Reiki lucid. There are some things about it that I feel are rather pretentious and unnecessarily occult, but I do know people that have a natural feel for this type of healing. Don't be scared off if you find the best info about Reiki on Wiccan/Pagan sites, I know many Christians that also practice it. I think "new age" religions are just more open to alternative therapies. Any training that teaches you to better focus your intentions is bound to increase your positive outcomes, though it is my understanding that the Reiki healing energy comes from a higher source, and that as a Reiki practitioner you are more of a conduit for this energy rather than the possessor of it. I think Reiki teaches you to remove yourself from the equation to allow the Divine energy to better flow through you to the patient. Congrats on recognizing one of your gifts and wanting to refine your technique!

Thank you for the recommendation. It's all new to me. But I feel that we all have the power to do this, perhaps. And as for Wiccan/Paganism. I use to read a lot about them, but never practiced any of it. I'm gonna read up now.

I've always had migraines. My mom used to "rebuke" the devil from me sometimes. She held the sides of my head and screamed at satan to stop and god to step in. At the time, I KNEW it helped. After I moved away, Excederin helped every bit as much. I'm not saying that one is better than the other. I guess I'm just saying that believing in (fill in the blank) is sometimes just what the doctor ordered...and the best medicine ever.
I guess I'm saying that whatever works for you....works. Keep it up, no matter what it is.
I, too, believe we all have the power to do it, but I do think it comes easier for some folks. The problem I have had with Reiki is they want you to take these classes where they give you these special symbols that are supposed to unlock/unblock energy. The classes tend to be rather expensive just to teach you some symbols. Now, I have been told, that the reason they do that is that if you pay for something, you value it more, and I see the logic in that...but it just really irks me when people try to profit from spiritual endeavors. I think I would look into some books and stuff before I decided to do classes. One cool thing though, alot of new age bookshops have "Reiki nights" where practitioners get together and work on each other. The one I have been to was free, and I got alot of good information from it, plus there were some really beautiful people there. Here's a link of some New Age shops in your area www.monamagick.com/tennessee.html Would love to hear your about your progress with this! I'll trade you, next Roo you can work Reiki on me for my aching back and sore feet and I will give you a massage for yours!

I think my best bet would be to go to one of those free gatherings and like you said read some books about it. Yeah paying for a spiritual endeavor is absurd. But I do understand that logic. But what makes me appreciate it is that I have found that I already know how to channel that energy, just not to it's fullest potential.
I will keep you informed then. And if I go to Bonnaroo next year I would be happy to take you up on that. I'm always willing to help.
