well I've just read Colins pm and responded by pm..doh! should have checked this thread first! nothing in that post that couldn't have been shared here Colin....
and JEEZ Wayne, you got some sh*t going on eh???? As I already mentioned I have had my own connections with discarnate beings long after they popped their cloggs, so I know for a FACT that communication is possible!... and you're not the first person to say that about our 'grief' and other emotions 'stopping' someone from moving on. I don't believe it does...... I do believe that a person who has 'died' can only reach a certain level of 'growth' beyond death, if they struggle to forgive themselves for how their actions impacted others in our physical dimension. I don't believe in the concept of hell, but for some who have passed, they can exist within a particular 'energetic state' of being created by their own mind waves.....a 'hell of their own making'.
I believe each and every person is born surrounded by discarnate beings filled with Love and Light and dies surrounded by discarnate beings filled with Love and Light. Sometimes we feel terribly said for those people we think 'die alone'......some folk do appear to have sad and lonely physical deaths.....but the truth is No-One dies alone!.....we are all met by Love... although depending on ones state of mind at immediate death, one may not be able to 'feel' that Love immediately.
Harry Edwards ( a great British Healer and Medium) has written some wonderful books...I recommend them to everyone. Betty Shines books are great also....actually I've read many many books about healing and mediumship.....it would seem the too skills often go hand in hand...
and as for strange experiences.....( today I've had alsorts of stuff going on.....all lovely lovely stuff though) beautiful feelings of liquid love flowing along my spine.. but I'm not gonna talk about my day at the mo.
last week, I had a bit of an odd one....I told the hubby about it, and I rarely tell him about these experiences....anyway.. we'd had a bit of a late night, the hubby gets up an hour earlier than me for work, so I usually drift back over again...well this morning I got into quite a deep sleep...then a whistle woke me up, ( a human voice whistle) I thought this was a bit odd.....and drifted slightly again ( as you do), then I heard a man's voice mumble something to me.....when I stirred it was 10.20am I leave the house at 10.45am, I was well late.
hmmmmm I've had some weird and wonderful experiences in my time, and had some interesting 'pyschic' experiences, but one thing I have NEVER had happen to me is hearing voices!.....I started wondering if my Jikiden experience had opened up a clauraudient channel in me!....EEK!..I seriously did.
I've been thinking about so much since the seminar.....as we all do after these Reiki experiences.....we start going through transformations and shifts...so much has been coming to the fore for me, particularly very very beautiful spiritual experiences I've had in the past!!! and I've been thinking about this lineage thing.... I still can't formulate my thoughts on it..but heres some stuff that has arisen for me of late. At the moment I'm reading a book about genetics and how the potential for development of some deseases can be passed down through our genes. Our family tree determines our genetic makeup.........our lineage is like a family tree which passes on certain energetic qaulities which can offer the potential for the development of particular 'spiritual abilities'....
hmmmm to me theres some kind of 'energetic/spiritual quality-abilty' osmosis going on...
The first healer I ever received healing from ( post man by day, healer by night)...had the 'energetic/spiritual quality-ability' to see visions.... after receiving healing from him, I started to 'see visions too'....very vivid, all symbolic and all connected to my life.
The second healer I received healing from....I had an incredible dream about her, in which ( I know this sounds odd) she crawled up my body when I was laid in bed, then whilst laid across the top of me she began to hummm, this humming was very powerful and the vibrations went straight in at my throat centre and vibrated throughout my entire body, it was amazing...the next day when I woke up I felt like a million dollars and that high lasted for weeks. ( did this lady have powerful dreams in which she healed peopl?)
another lady I trained with had different ' energetic spiritual quality-abilties'....did I absorb some of her spiritual genetics through healing osmosis?
another lady I trained with enabled all of the class to 'see' inside our physical bodies..her talent! through some kind of osmosis too....
another lady i trained with is an incredibly spiritual lady....she has a HUGE heart and amazing capacity for compassion and love.......was it merely a coincidence, that I had a profound opening of my heart through her Reiki osmosis??
hmmmmm I know I'm just kinda waffling out loud......but I think lineage within Reiki isn't just about passing on the ability to 'tap into the source of Reiki'.....I think we also absorb through spiritual osmosis some ' spiritual gene'....ie spiritual energetic, quality ability..from the person who teaches us....we don't just get the Usui gene, we also pick up random genes from everyone in that lineage...
maybe someone at the Jikiden seminar had the gene for ' hearing male whistles and mumbling male voices form another dimension' instead of an alarm clock?? who knows????
I have no idea if any of this has made sense to anyone....but these are just some of the thoughts going through my system at the moment?
