set intent
« on: February 12, 2004, 10:57:48 AM »
hi all,
- re. distant healing n. wrote in a post about his permanent deal with reiki (or eiki with him? :),he just sends reiki to all who post...
that appeals and is what I feel drawn to do, but I have a question with it anyway -
I seem to be able to hold attention much beter with certain persons (I know) as they come to mind when sending reiki - so I do wonder ( a bit) whether the general sweep send - as it were - in my case at least is a bit of a cop-out and/or less effective??
Anybody -?
Thanks very much!

Hi Barbara,   Almost impossible to measure.  
My 'feeling' is that it would be less effective but try telling that to the local radio stations.  They seem to manage quite well at getting their message across without knowing us individually.
All I require is a receiver or as in Reiki the intention to receive and the energy arrives.
I too favour mutual intention when using distance healing.  Perhaps by knowing each other that also allows us to add an 'emotion boost' to the energy.

Hmm.
It is all very subjective on a senders end and even more so on receivers end.
From my experiences, reiki flows very strong even if I only intend it to flow, with no preparations, concentration, visualization, white clothes, candles etc...etc... involved.

Ok.

Now, if and when I want to really participate consciously in the healing event, I concentrate and feel/see/hear energy flow.
Is reiki more powerful when I concentrate? I don't think so, it is just that I am more aware of the energy transmission process...

in my experiences, of course...

Yep that is what i have found n., when we concentrate too hard i think we get in the way of the energy it is like we are trying to use our own energy, not a good idea in my opinion at the end of the day we are only channels for the reiki energy, no more no less  :)

I always find that when I read a request for  distance Reiki either my hands tingle or they don't.  If they tingle then I am comfortable to assure that I will be adding to the requested Reiki.  If they don't then I might ask for the name (if the name isn't stated) or wait and re-read the request at a later time to feel if the reiki is telling me(through the tingles) to send.
Mick,I agree that we need to be careful of "using " our own energy.
John, I  find that when I know the reciever I get an emotional boost. Reiki love?? :)

john,
I find that anology you use of radio transmissions both interesting and appropriate. I, like barbara, find it much easier to send distance healings to those whom I know. If intent were energy, than that radio analogy would work perfectly. you say those radio towers have no trouble sending their message? it takes more energy for them to send their transmissions over a wide space like a region, than i ttakes for radio telescopes to probe light years into space (strange but true). I find it easier to place intent on someone i am personally familiar with than someone i have reaed about. do you guys have difficulty connecting to people based solely on their name and information about where they live?

Nope.
Well, not anymore, anyway.
In my first years of reiki practice, I needed as much info as I could get.
Now, email/post is good enough.
Practice makes perfect, I guess...

Hey Dave,

This is me butting in. I used to require that someone give ame a picture of the one I was going to send distance to. Because that was how I was instructed. Later I saw people send distance or even attune with only a name and location.

I sent distance to a peson whose name I didn't know only the situation. A tree was struck by lightning and fell on a girl.  She was in critical condition. Someone told me about it and asked me to send Reiki to her.

I connected to Reiki, did a quick self treatment. and deliberated within myself about sending Reiki to someone I didn't know anyting about.  So I asked that Reiki "go to the person who was hit by the tree. The little girl...."I asked that it connect to her on some level that she would accept... After about a minute I felt a connection and gave her Reiki until I felt her get better...

I write this to say that with practice anyting is possible.

Peace to You and Yours,

Sean

Hi , I have a comment on that.
Where ever we go, we get in contact with other energies, on a spirituel level. and when you first have talked to someone, you have made a connection on a spirituel level, and I'm sure that there is a kind of tread that connects us with other people with even the smallest contact, like say a short-worded request for reiki. People leave their energy as a fingerprint, and even if we don't thrust it completely, like me,(my head prefers extra information) it is so. Well, I'm pretty sure. It's our ego, and fear of failing getting in the way.

Anders,

You're spot on! Everything we do/say/think leaves a signature.

I'll do the full 5 hour lecture when I get some time in a few weeks :-\ It's a pet-subject for me :P

Or I could just wait and make you all buy the book... lol

ahem...back to reality...

Greetings,
I Have a small question. If we compare energy to be all around us with a radio broadcast then we have to also remember that unless a radio is tuned it will only catch static no matter how much directed waves are thrown at it or in general unless a wave is thrown at it on the frequency it is right now in which case its more like you first tuning yourself into the persons current frequency and then changing it(attunement) so that it can catch it again minus the first part. So if I am not attuned beforehand I cannot catch that energy at all. It might surround me but cannot enter me as I have no doorway.
So even if an attunement is sent by taking a name and time in space it will reach the person and attune him but unless there is a photograph or something which the Reiki master can imagine in the mind and then attune himself to that persons frequency to change it how is it possible?
I have tried 2 distant Kundalini attunements and in both cases did not feel anything at all. Could it be that the master did not personalise the expereince?? I think there has to be a personal touch to it. Its like I can radiate as much love as I can in this Universe but for people who are not receptive to it, it will not matter. So if now while I write this message I am feeling a great feeling of love for evereyone who is reading this message will they feel it??
Love  :)

Danny,

Just my thoughts you understand :)

Yes, you could well compare reiki to radio transmissions.  Once attuned the crown chakra is opened and the energy enters, we then resonate at a different level to what we did before.  The energy passes through us to where it is directed and needed and yes, it is important in some cases to ground.  We will never be overloaded but some negative energies need to be released too.

I disagree about the distance attunement.  All of my attunements have been via distance and I have felt different things during each one.  You mention Kundalini and not feeling anything.  I must tell you this is the one attunement I felt very strongly :)

I send reiki at distance (healing etc) and it is a truely amazing thing.   Sometimes I read a post and it just starts flowing by itself.  As I read my hands heat up and I feel a need to send right away, and I do.  I do not need to picture the person, it just flows of it's own accord and I direct it using symbols and thoughts of the name of that person and the place where they live.  Reiki is an intelligent energy and goes to where it is directed and needed.

And the love, of course we feel the love ;D

Again, just my opinion :)

Greetings,
I am just curious about the distant attunement thing. I agree with you that if you feel differently about it everytime then it means that a unique connection is made with the person by you and your 'intent' is for that person. I am only curious that when I say distant attunement to many then how can so many connectiosn be made at one time?? More like unique connections. Its like a radio station can make directed transmissions at a particular radio set for a particular frequency but not at many radios at the same time. I mean you would 'feel' ur tuning urself into the other person and making a singular connection with him before you send your attunement. Am I right?
Love :)

Whaaa!

Jesus Christ!

Whaaa!

Distance attunements man, whoa.  Step aside and chill on the grass, leave that cat in the bag.  Just get personal and have some reiki master attune you face to face.  Distance stuff man, sounds wild and not even cool.  How do you find trust in some crazy cat you have never met before, and how do you know such stuff is legit?  Maybe you feel yourself being tuned in, maybe not.  I don't know.

Don't be a tool.  Who knows if this distance attune man decides to fill you up with bad energy and dripping spiritual sludge.  Pa pow!

Hey man, step back and get yourself attuned.  Do it in person.  Relax, no need to plug in to wacky distance mania.
