Guest guest Posted February 24, 2000 Report Share Posted February 24, 2000 Kind of a hard question to answer, depending on your understandings of things. Without trying to get overly complicated, let's see.... Albert Einstein postulated E=MC2. In other words, energy = matter X the speed of light (186320 miles/ second) squared. Basically, matter is energy that is REEEEEALLY slowed down. If you have any understanding of Eastern philosophies, they speak of energy centres within the body, mostly commonly known by the Sanskrit word, chakra. These energy centres modulate the flow of energy through the body, known as chi in China or ki in Japan. Accupuncture works on the basis of liberating blocked chi. If you're not into eastern philosophy, kirlian photography will show you the same thing. Or, you could go with plain, hard science which will tell you that the body has a weak electromagnetic field, in the range of 36 Hz. This corresponds to the electromagnetic field generated by the earth. Anyway, since this energy field exists, Reiki and other similar forms of healing focus on manipulating this flow of energy to help bring the body back into balance. In Taoism they would speak of the balance between yang (male, outward, creative) forces, and yin (female, inward, passive) forces. Too strong yang becomes yin, and too strong yin becomes yang. Both must be in balance with each other. Similar views are represented in Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine, although in Tibetan medicine you have a balance of wind, bile and phlem. In the Hopi language the word is koyanisquaatsi - life out of balance. Pretty much describes our whole society. Reiki, therapeutic touch and similar things work by recognizing this energy balance, and working with it. Dis-ease means the body is ill at ease, and so picks a weak spot on the body (for us it's the thyroid) to send out a wake up call (HEY! Something's not right here!) to let you know. Reiki is mostly non-contact, but the practitioner will channel the universal energy to help bring your body's energies back into balance. If you want to know more, then it gets complicated and you can e-mail us personally; we'll take this off the list. Hope that helps. Me. > Someone mentioned getting Reiki.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2000 Report Share Posted February 25, 2000 There are some good websites on Reiki, and also books in new age bookstores, and also in and Noble and Borders.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 > You did not mention how long such an event would take. This would be an hour-long phone call, once or twice per month, with no obligation to be there consistently or continue. So my idea was, people would call into the conference line, share a little, and then we could do some actual energy healing exercises over the phone. I would hope that in the least, people would get some stress relief from it, because most of the exercises would be meditative in nature. I participate on a call like this led by someone else in the area of abundance, and half the time it's so relaxing I fall asleep on the call! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Hi all:) I also do Reiki on myself (and on others) Ihave gone for many Reiki treatments from a wonderful practioner and the opportunity came up to take the training. So, as has Loes, I have training in Reiki I & II. I do it on myself every day (almost) usually as part of my morning exercise/yoga/meditation routine and then a;lways at night to helpme relax for sleep. I find it helps with the funny (not ha ha) effects of the prednisone and is just very relaxing in general. To be able to do it on yourself you do need to take the training, but there are Reiki practioners all over the world. Where I am the charge is around $50. (Canadian) and that give me about an hour to an hour and a half from the person I go to. Keep well, Diann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway....you need to find a Reiki master to study with. They will teach about Reiki, and attune you to level 1. Where are you located? We have Reiki circles once a month. I can ask the master if he could recommend anyone in your area. Just like anything else, there are quacks out there who are only interested in taking your money. I really like it alot and really should use it more often than I do. I use it more on my animals than on myself or others.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 >there seems to be some sort of misunderstanding. >Reiki is NOT a device. I didn't say that Reiki was a device, did I? What I said (or what I meant to say) is that I have had several Reiki treatments. I have also become a Reiki practitioner, so I can treat my wife or myself. And I have also worn the Springlife Polarizers. What I have felt during a Reiki session and what I have felt while wearing a Springlife Polarizer are similar. Also, they provoke a similar type of relaxation/calming effect, and also if you overdo them, they provoke similar type of detoxification symptoms. To me, they are comparable. The are certainly huge differences in the delivery mechanism, but the effect on the person being treated seems virtually the same. Now, since I can perform Reiki on myself, you might wonder why I need to use a Springlife Polarizer? Well, the answer is simple -- Reiki requires that you are concentrating on Reiki, and not on other things. The Springlife Polarizers don't require any concentration. You can just forget about them, and get the benefits all day long. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hello Marc, > I didn't say that Reiki was a device, did I? But, Yes you did: I don't think one can generalize the strength or the healing properties of these sorts of devices. Marc For you Marc, it may make sense, but others may interprete it otherwise. But, no harm done. I like things clear. It still feels good, that anybody can display his/her inner feelings about such things, without being laughed at. I am sorry, but I still did not have time in order to make some sandwich construction for the large plate of my bioenergy meter. A person can then stand on it, and I can measure the difference between *before and after* some exposure.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Theresa -- thanks for the info. However, considering the fact that there are only 10,000 people in the entire county where I live (and we're in the middle of nowhere), I'm guessing my chances are very slim!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Hi Marc, I'm interested in trying it, and will look at the information on how to do it. I would be curious if you tried taking Cilantro drops after Reiki, and the day after, if you would still experience potential symptoms from detox? I have been having amazing success with Cilantro. My doctor was worried I may have severe symptoms during detox due to my high mercury levels, but with Cilantro I don't notice any detox symptoms at all. I have seen a Naturopath and a preventive medicine MD that both recommended Cilantro for detox. Glenn ----Original Message Follows---- From: " Marc " <marc@...> Reply- Subject: Reiki Date: Fri, 03 Sep 2004 11:59:30 -0700 Hi all, One of the things I've found to helpful for ES (and also detoxing in general) is a form of energy work called " Reiki " . Initially I did this by paying someone US$60 an hour to hold their hands over me. I could certainly feel the energy, but the improvements were often short-lived. So then I got " attuned " to Reiki " Level 1 " , which allowed me to treat myself for free. In terms of ES, I noticed that if I was having a " burning face " symptom from sitting in front of a computer too long, I could go into a restroom stall and do Reiki on my face for a couple minutes, and those symptoms would go away. The only problem I've found with Reiki is the possibility of overtreatment -- when I first got attuned, I was doing Reiki on myself for 30 minutes a day. Unfortunately, after a week of this I got a terrible flu with a high fever, and after a while I concluded that all that self-treatment was putting me into a " healing crises " , which probably wouldn't have happened if I only did it for 1-2 minutes a day. I rarely do Reiki on myself anymore, because I've found that the Springlife polarizer seems to put out the same type of energy, and without me having to hold my hands in a special location. However, if someone doesn't have the money to spend on a Springlife polarizer, Reiki could be a free alternative. There are websites which will " attune " you remotely for free: http://reikisecrets.com And then there are free guides which will tell you what to do: http://angelreiki.nu/ For people who are really toxic or sensitive, the attunement itself may provoke a " detox " that could last a few days/weeks, so this is potential problem. If so, I wouldn't recommend self-treatment during this, because this will merely make you detox even more! (the various Reiki books claim that you cannot do " too much " Reiki, but I found this statement to be false). If anyone tries this, I'd be interested in knowing how an ES person does with this -- for example, did you feel any special energy on the day of the remote attunement, did the attunement affect your tolerance for EMF, or does self-treatment affect your tolerance of EMF? As I said before, I have found it to be helpful for me, but a bit impractical. I don't recall feeling anything during the attunement itself, although in the following days there did seem to be a detox reaction (and yes, I did just go to the free site above to get attuned to level 2 and 3, and supposedly it was done yesterday) Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 > I would be curious if you tried taking Cilantro drops after Reiki, and > the day after, if you would still experience potential symptoms from detox? Hmmmm, I thought cilantro was supposed to mobilize toxins from their stored locations in your cells, and put them into your bloodstream? To me, that would increase your symptoms. For me, to reduce detox symptoms, I usually need things supportive of the detox, like things containing antioxdiants, alkalinizing minerals, high quality protein sources, glutathione, etc. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 > I'm interested in trying it, and will look at the information on how to > do it. I should also have said that with the free Reiki attunement, you really don't need to learn how to *do* anything. I think just getting the attunement by itself can be beneficial for your health, as long as you don't mind a few days/weeks of potential cleansing symptoms (fatigue, headache, frequent trips to the bathroom). So really all one would need to do is fill out that form on that website doing the free remote attunements, and then never think about it again! Although, learning how to do Reiki after that is pretty simple, and certainly could be useful to help in healing yourself and others...

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 >Hmmmm, I thought cilantro was supposed to mobilize toxins from their stored >locations in your cells, and put them into your bloodstream? To me, >that would increase your symptoms. I was told cilantro binds to toxins in bloodstream and carries them out of body safely. That has been my experience as well. When I forget to take cilantro during detox process, I feel very sick. Otherwise I notice no detox symptoms at all when I take cilantro. My naturopath said that in particular he wanted me to take cilantro to keep toxins from passing blood brain barrier, which he said is the most harmful thing that can happen with toxins during detoxification. Now that I think about it further, I should probably try taking cilantro daily, and see if it reduces my EMF symptoms, assuming EMF causes release of toxins making me ill. That is a good thought - thanks for interacting on this topic. I agree with your comments on antioxidants & proteins as well, since I followed your advice and dramatically changed my nutrition, and it also seems to be reducing my symptoms. Its good health sense too. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what form are you taking your cilantro? I've tried just eating it as you find it in the grocery store, also have juiced it, and I also have a tincture extract of it from years ago. But I don't recall ever noticing anything from any of these. But perhaps that's the point... :-) Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
