I'm afraid I don't have too much to add here because I don't have any experience with OBEs but I believe that OBEs and absent Reiki healing are two completely separate phenomena - although it appears that they could happen simultaneously!
It is my understanding that OBEs either occur through a conscious attempt to do so, using specific techniques or spontaneously, usually during a moment of intense stress or danger or some other heightened emotional state.
Absent healing, in Reiki Ryoho, is usually achieved in a calm state, using HSZSN (or SHK in Wayne's case, apparently!
). There is no astral travel (or OBE) involved only the acknowledgement and enhanced awareness of the existing interconnection between the practitioner and the client. Once the initial "connection" is made, it is really just like an in-person Reiki session - no need to concentrate, just relax and smile!
But, Salman, you give some excellent advice about what to do just in case OBE and absent healing happen to occur at the same time for some reason.
hey Colin
thanks for the welcome, i really miss you guys, and RLL too in the while, but some unavoidable professional commitments made me skip over RLL, Facebook, and sometimes messengers too... happens ! infact a 'hibernation in the offline mode'
well, absent treatments are nevertheless often 'more' than treatments, they are connections, and some would say 'jumps' to oneness... so we can imagine that something like OBE happening concurrently with absent treatments.... you have given an expert word... often beginners who are new to HSZSN or to absent treatment, they normally 'condition' the happening of absent treatment with high and sustained degrees of concentration, which amazingly, is not the case... the connection is established not by concentration but by HSZSN... that is a key point... but given our tendency that we often make ourselves believe it is 'we' doing this, Takata Sensei probably advised that absent treatments should not go more than a continuous stretch of 20 minutes, so that if by mistake someone is 'pouring in' extra concentration in process, he is saved from undesired effects of such not-needed effort.
i would really go with your words "connect, relax, and smile
"
take care
