Reiki and Tourette’s Syndrome
Good mornin’ all…
It’s February already! It’ll be ‘kiss me quick’ for Valentine’s and then it will be my birthday and Easter and before you can get the sun cream out (not on!) it will be autumn again!
Better get this week’s question done before lunch burns at this rate… ha ha ha!
Q… I have two things to ask you if I may.
Firstly I am looking at buying a massage table for doing my Reiki and Aromatherapy. I have been looking at tables that are metal and timber. Is there any preference regarding the energy of the two materials?
The other thing that I have to ask you is about a condition that I have just been diagnosed with. I am 56 years old and have been diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome.
It doesn’t bother me in the slightest, as it answers a lot of the questions about my life. All the ‘bad nerves’ I have had all my life are in fact Tourette’s Syndrome. I now know that I am definitely not going mad. hahahahah.
My husband might disagree hehehe.
Anyway to cut a long story short, are there any particular things that I could do with my Reiki?
Incidentally, my Neurologist thinks that all the Reiki and relaxation and aromatherapy is the best thing that i can do.
I look forward to hearing from you when you have time.
And my answer…
A Reiki Difference Of Opinion
Good mornin’ all…
Just to remind you all that the forum is now available in your Reiki Package, so do take this opportunity to join in. If you have something to say or something to ask, then jump in and get it off your chest!
Now always remember that the answers I give to any question are simply my opinion borne from my experiences of MY life, etc.
If my opinions don’t sit right with you then that’s OK by me! There’s No offence taken 
All I ask of you is that you TRUST yourself. You do know if something feels ‘right or wrong’ for you at this moment in time.
You do know if something expressed, read, shared or experienced, is right or wrong for you at this time.
TRUST YOURSELF FIRST – then take what I say about anything and do what you like with it… ha ha ha!
Love it or leave it!
OK, this week’s question is:
Q… I have been reading your advice on Reiki practice in your weekly newsletter for some time now and would like to ask a question if I may
Someone has passed me a link and I have been reading ‘The search for truth–shopping for spirit part 1-3′ and have been dismayed by the authors view of The Reiki Symbols and their being ‘unbalanced’.
I have tried to put this information out of my mind but find I cannot as this – if it were true – means I have been doing it all wrong so far.
Would you care to have a look at this article and tell me your views to put my mind at rest? I admit this article is starting to worry me as i now cannot progress without advice. Thanking you
And my answer…
Happy Chinese New Year
Good mornin’ all…
Any excuse for a knees up!
Tomorrow ushers in the Year of the Dragon. A very auspicious year of success and happiness
(Not quite what the doom sayer’s tell us… ha ha ha!)
So, why not celebrate with a nice bag of fish and chips. Fish is a symbol of prosperity – and chips? Well, they’re just nice with anything!
Now, the following passage was sent in to me this week – I don’t know who wrote it but it seems appropriate to share it with you – and maybe you might share it with others:
A SPIRITUAL CONSPIRACY
On the surface of the world right now there is war and violence and things seem dark. But calmly and quietly, at the same time, something else is happening underground.
An inner revolution is taking place and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out. From the ground up.
This is a Global operation. A Spiritual Conspiracy.
There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet…
Dressing For The Reiki Part
Mornin’ all…
Even though it’s bloomin’ chilly, it feels like spring is in the air already! The birds are singing, the snowdrops are out and the daffodils are 8” high.
I don’t mind spring creeping over my windowsill so early, as long as we get a decent summer this year.
So far, this winter has just been an ongoing extension of last summer 
But I love the bright spells of sunshine and try to get out in it as much as possible. It not only lifts your spirits but it feeds your spirit too.
Enough ‘light hearted’ banter for now, let’s have a down to earth question:
Q… Sorry to bug you master but I have been thinking about looking professional while doing Reiki for people, and was wondering what style of oriental garment would work for a male.
I want to create an atmosphere and black pants and a white shirt just doesn’t feel right, I have no ideas about what would fit the part, I have seen many posts online wondering the same thing but cannot find any that suggest what would fit the part … help!
And my answer…
Is Rei-ki a Martial Art?
Mornin’ all…
How’s the diet going girls? I’ve lost 3lbs already
How’s the 6 pack coming along lads? I’ve got a party 7 already… ha ha ha! (That’s a small 7 pint beer keg in case you’re not familiar)
Now, this morning I thought I’d share a few more of my ponderings with you.
As I said last week, I seem to be on a ‘light’ journey at the moment…
…and everything seems to be relating to my ‘light’ experienced over Christmas, and it’s still happening, which is fabulous
I’ve often talked about the Healer/Warrior connection with Reiki, so let me expand a little on this…
But first, let’s break the word Reiki down into two parts – the Rei and the Ki.
We’ve all heard of Ki energy haven’t we? It’s the external expression of your internal energy, which can be used for things like…
Healing or as a martial art
Empowering a situation or starting your car etc
It’s generally tangible as heat, tingling or a cold sensation. It’s dynamic, powerful and explosive.
Ki = action of some sort.
In martial arts a youth starts out generally using his Ki in a hard style, like karate or kung fu. This follows set patterns of one movement then another, often in a linear fashion…
Sometimes in a square pattern, almost like a square dance
Hard styles build up your Ki in your muscles and limbs. It concentrates on strength, muscle tension and explosive physical power.
In the west it would translate to being sporty, doing weights or any cardiovascular training.
Talking ‘light’ wise, it would suggest concentrating your Inner Light by focussing your energy into a small, sharp, hot, laser like beam and going for it… POW!
Laser vision, spot on! Attack with precision…
…be that a new job with confidence, starting the new diet with gusto, or clapping your hands and ‘power healing’ a broken bone like Mr Miyagi in the Karate Kid films
But once you’ve exploded your energy, it can leave you feeling drained and tired, until you replenish yourself with rest and food.
In the health industry, this may be in the Accident and Emergency department.
When we first encounter Rei-’Ki’ we want to use the symbols and hand positions to help us ‘focus’ and apply it to others.
We want to demonstrate the Ki part externally.
But…
