What is Reiki

[TeaDidikai]

I wasn't thrilled about switching Masters, but unfortunately there wasn't any way around it.

If it was me, I would have considered that series of attunements at an end and sought a new tradition.

But what's right for me in this situation is based solely on personal opinion. wink

I have a question actually. Do you think that obtaining a Reiki attunement could have any unusual effects on the functionality of Aspect and Essence channeling? Based on what I've described of it and your knowledge of Reiki

My personal opinion is that it would depend on the tradition of Reiki.

Emerald Dragon could be useful. But most of the other traditions strike me as being incompatible beyond the general benefits that Reiki has- none of which apply directly to your tradition.

Okies. I still haven't figured out if I want to explore it quite yet, but Emerald Dragon is sounding nice overall.

Where I can see now that would have been the best choice, at the time it probably wouldn't have occurred to me. sweatdrop

I can understand that.
Been in similar situations myself.

Question: the path that my mother and sister went to a session of is called "ushured path." I have some lit provided by them, I need help identifying whether they are valid or not.

Can you provide their lineage?

Depends on where you are and how much money you can afford to pay.

Lots of traditions cost a pretty penny, have a well documented lineage and will Attune anyone who is willing to come to the nearest class. My experience is that there is someone in every major urban area.  

[Adalyna]

ahh so its basically a matter of being able to afford classes kinda thing. I had a hunch it would be like that. How can you know if their lineage is valid? Any way to cross reference?

Depends on the tradition. Emerald Dragon for example doesn't charge.

Shorter the lineage, the easier it is to verify. It also depends on the tradition. Some "workshop" traditions attune a hundred people at a go. stare You can guess how I feel about such a practice I am sure.

Usually. Establishing basic lineage isn't too hard. After that- contacting masters and the like is pretty straight forward.

I can't even imagine trying to attune that many people all at the same time. gonk

It's in their packet they handed out, so I guess, yes.

My doubts mainly lie in one of the parts I skimmed, that said that Reiki never causes harm, basically.

My experience is that attuning maybe ten people at a time is a max. It's about quality over quantity. You want to, as a Master, be able to ensure that you have devoted enough time to the attunement. I can go through the motions in thirty seconds flat. But a proper attunement takes longer than that.

Plus- you want to be able to devote time to answering individual questions and teaching your students the proper methods for treatment and the like.

Spiff.

In one sense it doesn't. Reiki ultimately functions on the universes understanding of "correct". The universe and human's aren't always in agreement. Quite frankly, while there are some situations that I default to Reiki's understanding, there are others where human caution is more appropriate.

Do you think there's a possibility that getting Reiki healing would interfere in the biological elements of my transition from male to female?

Don't know. I don't know enough about the biology in question. In cases where there might be an adverse reaction, all of my traditions are in agreement as to how to proceed.

Perform a limited session, check medication levels and how the patient is feeling. Monitor their reaction for a while personally (an hour or so is usually what I do) before you part and check in on them the next day. Try a longer session next time and repeat the monitoring.

If you're Second or Third Degree, do not use any inappropriate glyphs until you are reasonably sure that it is safe.
