1. Interesting Reiki Stories:
Reiki stories are posted as a way to help keep us inspired and to remember to use Reiki
as a tool in healing. If you have an experience or story to share, please forward it to us,
otherwise I will try to post a story or two monthly that I find on the web.
Polyps Healed
A while ago my friend Barbara had a scan, which revealed a number of Polyps in her
womb area. She was scheduled for minor surgery to have these removed, prior to this I
gave her Reiki sessions and distant healing. When she went down for the surgery the
Polyps had gone - she's absolutely convinced these had been 'Reikied away' as she likes
to call it. A while later she had Polyps up her nose and again she was convinced Reiki
had seemed to help. When she finally went for surgery on them, they hadn't disappeared
but she was advised that she would be quite ill for a couple of weeks - she was up and
about the next day and has felt absolutely great ever since - again Reiki helped.
- Lorraine Source
Distant Reiki and Cancer
Mary Ronge had been practicing Reiki for about a year when a friend of a friend called to
say she had been diagnosed with two kinds of lung cancer. The doctor told her she had
only three weeks to live. She was 47 years old and had a four-year-old daughter.
Mary began sending Reiki every night at 6. The woman that reported she felt a warm
feeling during those treatment times. After a few days receiving Reiki, the woman reported
that she felt she wasn’t going to die and Mary promised to continue sending Reiki.
After several months, her doctor called to find out what she had been doing as her recent
tests indicated that no cancer remained in her body. She was completely healed.

Reiki for a Bike Accident
A 12 year old boy named Kevin was riding his bike in the street in front of my house with a
couple of his friends one day last summer, when he collided with one of the other boys,
and the pedal of his bike put a small gash on the side of his foot, near his ankle. I was
inside, and could hear him screaming in pain! His friends helped him to my steps, as he
couldn't stand on his own. When I examined Kevin's foot, it was bleeding from the wound
and had already started to bruise. I first used a wet wash cloth to cleanse the area around
the wound, and then cupped his foot in my hands, with one hand covering the wound.
Kevin watched what I was doing for a minute, then looked up at me and said, "Your hands
feel cold!"( This was a hot summer day. It was also the first time anyone had ever told me
that my hands felt cold when giving them Reiki ). I continued to direct energy to the injured
area for maybe 4-5 minutes. When I removed my hands the bleeding had stopped, and
there was only a slight sign of bruising. Kevin exclaimed "Wow!", then proceeded to run
back to his bike with no sign of injury. I saw Kevin the next day and you could hardly tell
that he had been in any sort of mishap! There was only a small, what looked like a scrape
on his foot, and no bruising at all! Source

2. Requests for Long Distance Healing:
Requests for Long Distance Healing:
When there are several requests, in our small way, we can participate by adding each
individual to our prayer list or to send long distance Reiki. Please consider printing out
these requests so you can remember these people over this next month.
If you make a request for long distance healing, it would be helpful if you could provide us
with some feedback on how the person is doing after a period of time.Remember if there
are multiple requests, you can use the stack method of sending long distance Reiki. One
suggestion would be: When time permits-- send long distance Reiki for one specific
request, then add that request to an on-going list or stack that receives
unlimited Reiki.
Level I Practitioners:
You can participate in the Long Distance Requests by adding the individuals to your
prayer list or send positive thoughts and intentions.
Request from Lynn Y.
Staff Sargent Steven Girouard, for his safe deployment and return to his family and loved
ones, as he leaves for 7 month military service in Afghanistan.
Request from Susan
Please continue to send your thoughts, prayers and LDR to my aunt, Mary Jean Lista, as
she recovers from a challenging stroke that occurred this past August.
This section will be updated as requests come in, if you have a request for Long
Distance Reiki, email it to seedsforchange@comcast.net, title the request Long
Distance Reiki

3. Q & A
QUESTION:
When I give myself Reiki it feels like nothing is happening, why am I not
feeling something? Am I doing it wrong?
ANSWER:
When you set the intention for the Reiki to flow through you, it begins. The experience
you will perceive will vary. At times you may not feel any particular sensation, but upon
completion, will feel relaxed and balanced. At other times, while giving yourself Reiki you
may feel a variety of different sensations such as pressure, heat, tingling, etc. Each
situation is different because you are bringing into the session a different set of
circumstances....all based on where you are at that moment in time on the physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual level. Also what activity you are engaged or not engaged
in at the time will affect your perceptions. If you are giving Reiki to yourself while watching
TV or reading a book, you may not be tuned into the subtle body expressions. If you are
meditating and giving yourself reiki, your experience may bring about deep levels of
awareness.
I suggest to continue to incorporate Reiki into your life in a way that works for you, and
enjoy the experience. There is no right or wrong way to give yourself a session. The
more you work with Reiki, the more confident you will be and have a better understanding
of this statement.
QUESTION:
How can I develop my sensitivity for body scanning or energy scanning?
ANSWER:
Simple...practice-practice-practice...often and on a variety of individuals as well as other
living things...such as plants and animals. I find it is helpful to rub your hands together
before beginning then to pay attention for any shift or change in what your are feeling.
Often this is very subtle. Over time, with practice and experience, it will become easier to
detect.

7. Working with Others:
Are You An Empath? Source
You may have heard the names of a variety of Psychic Abilities. What is Empathy ? It is
the psychic ability to not only read energy, but to literally feel its effects within your own
body, and other's, in other words "To energetically empathize with another". In short,
when someone has an experience to which they have a physical or emotional reaction,
and you instantly "Get it".
When a person is said to be an "Unconscious Empath", it simply means that they are not
schooled in that particular psychic ability, and they are a walking "Psychic Energy
Sponge". This is a person who is "Picking-up energy from others unintentionally". Until
they learn how to correct this behavior, they will usually suffer on the spiritual, emotional,
mental and even physical levels. They have the ability to literally sense, and absorb other
people's symptoms, and problems.
They almost always carry their Auric field pushed out from their physical body too far.
When you keep your Auric field (Aura) away from your body, it loses its ability to protect
you. Instead of protecting you, it begins to act like a problem solving magnet that draws
everyone else's problems into your Auric field, and therefore into your experience. You
will begin to work on the effects of other people's problems, and think that they are your
own. It is not healthy to walk around like this, and it is extremely exhausting.
An example of an Unconscious Empath would be the following: You are feeling great
sitting in a hospital or medical facility waiting your turn for a yearly physical. A person
walks in and sits next to you. This person begins a lopsided conversation with you in
which they tell you all of their current problems. Their problems seem very heavy, and
painful. This conversation is very vivid in your imagination, and you begin to sympathize
with the person emotionally. The next thing you know, the nurse is calling the other
person in for their exam, and now you are stuck sitting in the waiting area with a heavy
heart, and feeling like something the cat dragged in. You have just picked up their "Stuff".
After spilling their guts to you (Emotionally), they now feel fantastic, and now you feel
what they were feeling before they gave you their problems to solve.
Congratulations, you have just removed another person's "Emotional Baggage". No, this
is not a good thing contrary to popular religious belief.
When a soul enters the physical for their new life in a body, they carry with them an
assortment of emotional, and mental baggage (life lessons). The "Unconscious Empath"
feels it is their duty in life to ease the burden of their fellow man/woman by "Lightening
their load", and removing as much of this "Baggage" as possible. Sometimes they are
unaware that they are "Assisting" others in this way, and sometimes they do it knowingly.
While this all sounds like a great humanitarian act, the truth is that this so called
"Baggage" is actually not what it seems. The stuff we bring into our incarnation with us
are actually our "Learning Experiences", or in other words, "Life Lessons" that we as souls
wish to learn from.
Have you ever experienced in your own life that sometimes when you think you are
lightening someone else's load, that later they begin to get angry at you? What you have
unintentionally done is take the other person's learning experience that they created,
away from them. Now they have to re-create the experience for themselves (because
they, as a soul, did after all want to gain understanding by going through the work
themselves), and that takes additional effort on their part.
They are now subconsciously aware that you have caused them extra work. In addition to
this strange, and most likely unforeseen response from them, you are now upset
because, after all, how dare they get angry with me when "I did all this - for them"? You
think to yourself, "I was just trying to help".
There is yet another disturbing side to this situation. You are now becoming frustrated,
angry, and feel unappreciated, and you are now stuck working on their problems (you
are stuck with their Stuff/Energy in your Awareness/Auric Field/Space) in addition to your
own.
You can not do the work for other people. Only they can do their own work in life. It
would be similar to going on a diet so that your friend could lose weight. The only
exception to this rule is when they as a soul, and personality are finished with a particular
lesson, and they come to you, and ask for assistance in releasing it. This is called a
Spiritual Healing. Spiritual Initiations, Telepathic Alchemy and Clairvoyant Spiritual
Counseling are all different modalities through which one can receive healing, and are
very effective in this process.
Once you have finished a learning experience, that's it. You do not need to repeat it
again, and you can move on to the next one, and so on until you are finally free. Its sort
of like finishing First Grade, and moving onto Second Grade, and now you are in College.
You wouldn't go back and re-do First Grade ever again because that information has
already been incorporated into your foundation of basic experience.
What about all of the recurring things that seem to keep happening in my life, you ask ?
These are lessons that have yet to be fully completed. These lessons do indeed repeat
until you finish them. It is a process that you can undertake consciously. When one
functions as a "Conscious Empath", they are able to not only heal themselves, but learn
to heal others in a healthy fashion as well.
Grounding plays a huge role in becoming a "Conscious Empath" in life. Unconscious
Empaths are most often very ungrounded people as well. It is not only governing over
your own Auric field that determines whether you can function effectively in the world, but
being grounded, and able to release other people's stuff from your Auric field are also
important factors.
Grounding chords serve several purposes (a grounding chord is a subtle tube of energy
which normally extends from your first chakra (energy center) at the base of your spine,
down into the center of the Earth); they are obviously created to ground you, but equally
important is that they serve as a cosmic toilet to release foreign energies from your
Space, Auric field, Subtle Bodies, and your Chakras. They can actually be used as a
means of psychic protection also.
Having loving Spiritual Boundaries is another major factor in real spiritual health. Spiritual
Boundaries are not walls that you put up around yourself. It is not a limitation that you
impose on yourself, and others. It is a concept, and practice whereby you establish a
very real, and palpable energetic space (awareness) around your subtle self, and your
physical body. This newly acquired "Space" enables you to communicate from a place of
empowerment, with a very real sense of sovereignty in your body.
Unconscious Empaths tend to invade other people's space (awareness). It feels as
though you lose your seniority in your own body, and they have stepped in on you, and in
reality, that is exactly what has happened. It is a very uncomfortable feeling indeed. In
order to become a Healthy and Conscious Empath, you must learn to have Loving
Spiritual Boundaries.
In a loving communication there is no competition between the two parties. They express
themselves lovingly, and with respect towards the other person. They do not interrupt
each other, nor do they continue speaking about matters that are obviously disturbing the
other party emotionally. They do not meddle in the affairs of others. They ask for
permission before offering any assistance to others, and only after it is given, do they
proceed. There is a balance of giving, and receiving that is naturally established. They
both feel good about themselves, and each other. It creates a sort of detachment, that is
to say that you are not emotionally attached to the outcome of a given situation. You are
able to share ideas from a place of peace, and neutrality. Loving Spiritual Boundaries are
the very foundation to a healthy communication, and relationship.

9. Tips & Tidbits:
60 Ways to Heal Your Life… From Lynda Field’s book
Each month one of Lynda’s suggestion is included:
Suggestion 34: Make Your Own Mission Statement
Writing and developing a personal mission statement cannot happen instantly because it
requires you to think about yourself in an entirely new way. Ask yourself these questions:
1. What is that you believe that you do, that makes a difference to people and to
mankind?
2. What motivates you to do the things that you think are important?
3. Why do you do the things you do?
These questions will be difficult to answer until you realize that you, personally, can make
an amazing impact on this world. What special strengths do bring that can help to make
positive changes in your relationships and in your immediate environment?
List your strength.
Well, what is your mission statement? In other words, what is your life's purpose, why
exactly are you here? To raise consciousness about environmental issues? To make the
world a happier place? To ensure that your children have high self-esteem? To raise
money for a worthwhile cause? To make people laugh? To teach? To listen to others?
When you can make a mission statement or more than one, your life will have new
direction and purpose. Remember that you bring your own unique set of skills and
strengths to this planet and you came to use those abilities.
Discover what drives you from within and match it with real-world activities to give your life
new meaning.
Next Month: Suggestion 35: Have a Think Slim, Be Slim Day
