thanks Colin
Renu says that when we grow spiritually we can make our words mean something different than usually spoken with.... I've experienced myself too that in the days i m spritually more alert, words just keep flowing.... Exactly like you re driving on a superway at a lonely night, and road keeps on generating before your eyes with each passing moment, the only condtion is that u remain in motion and lights remain on
I've felt that the two syllable word reiki is a powerful jumon in its own right.... The more we use the word in discussions, chats, etc, the more we keep synchronising with reiki's essence....
Back to thread, i tested it and found it correct that symbols dont need a meditation to work more effectively..... Visualizing a big CKR or an SHK, cascading over head, showering its bliss around, etc are good things to do as a mental exercise, and visualizing symbols to be 'exhibiting' their effects in a physical way, might be best if we were in qi-gong or QT, etc. But when within reiki we dont need to 'meditate' upon symbols to enhance their effects, or say, to enhance our reiki... We need just more reiki to enhance our reiki
cKR has often been translated as 'put the power here'.... iMO, this is not the phrase of a request, this is a command.... Whom we are commanding when we draw CKR ?
i know it'd voice many reservations instantly, but i have a feeling that when we treat others in a session we command a happening to occur within receipient... Reiki emanates from their bodies when this happening manifests... Our hands on the body of patient, are our unspoken command to that area of their body to 'respond' to such command, and in time, we see reiki generating......
The same happens within self-tratments also...
By using the word 'command' i dont mean we doing something consciously, rather we are intending / requesting that command-set to be activated for the purposes of our session... This is what i mean by 'setting' the intent
Thats why that once reiki session has started, we don't need a moment-to-moment focus of the process, exactly like you once mentioned to me
