Hi All
New to the forum and to Reiki, so please bear with me, and sorry if any of this is repetition from other threads, or if my thoughts seem to meander
I am a 38 year old male, recently attuned to master level by Martin. Now, I did a lot of research before deciding on this, and rightly or wrongly decided on distant attunement. I think I was asleep when attuned, but do remember a dream or a dream like state on that morning, where my field of vision was filled with brilliant white, and I saw a pair of hands palm up wards, and heard (or maybe said myself) Reiki, Reiki Reiki.
Now I cant say I felt anything or feel any different since, but I have just been diagnosed with hypertension (distance healings welcome), so I have put any unusual feelings down to that, such as tingling sensation on the top of my head and down the back of my head. Maybe it is maybe it isn't
I practice reiki on myself and meditate almost every evening, although this can be difficult sometimes (3 kids 7,5 &2, and I believe their demands on my attention are just as valid as my own requirements).
I think I am a practical person, someone who is at one with nature, as well as a spiritual person, although not in a conformist go to church type of way, but I have been blessed in many ways in my life, and hopefully I have learned from the mistakes and the knocks that life can throw at you.
I've read through the forum, and I am delighted to see so many committed people, who are more than willing to share their knowledge and beliefs and to help others.
But what if you sometimes feel that you just don't get it ? Has anyone else felt this way? Its not that I don't get it, as in don't understand it........ its that.....I dunno.........I sometimes don't get it. It seems to be happening for others but I don't have similar experiences. I understand and accept that every ones experiences will be as individual as we are ourselves and some will progress quicker than others.
Maybe I am looking for too much? Maybe I am not being patient enough? Maybe I'm not trying hard enough? Maybe I'm trying too hard? Or maybe I just can't do it? Or is it that I can't read the signs? (funnily enough as I wrote that a bird just flew into kitchen, looked at me, helped himself to some crumbs on the floor and then flew off again!!) Was that a sign? (A sign of what , that I should sweep the floor??
)
Thanks for taking the time
James
