Love thy neighbour

This morning my seventy-one-year-old French neighbour complained to me that he had a pain in his back/kidney area. My husband had mentioned to them the day before that I had been on a Reiki course. I suggested he should get it checked out by a doctor, but offered to see if I could do anything to help in the meantime.  Again, I felt mildly foolish as I did the Gassho in front of someone who wasn’t family, but found it very easy to mentally ask for help to heal him. No question, I am convinced that this works.  It wasn’t appropriate to give him a full massage, and there was very little time as he was expecting a visitor, so I raked his aura three times and then put my hands straight on his back. The heat was there again, and the tingling in my hands and foot this time accompanied by a sort of dark grey colour in my mind’s eye. I have no idea whether I will have helped him or not, but he certainly felt the energy. His wife kept bustling in and out of the kitchen and kept enthusing that I ‘had been told the secret’, which I find a bit sad. This is so wonderful, and so easy to do that I don’t understand why people don’t share it more often. Imagine how fantastic our world could be if more of us could harness this fabulous energy and heal others.

I’ve noticed today that my hands get hot and tingle even when I’m not expecting it, when I was stroking my daughter’s head as I tucked her into bed tonight, and when I briefly stroked the dog for example.

I did my self-Reiki this evening rather than in the morning to see if it made any difference. This time I left the side light on and had my eyes open for much of the time.  The energy seems to be getting more powerful all the time.  My knees were particularly hot and this time I saw what I can only describe as translucent clouds of colour to the right of me, blues, purples and greens with occasional flashes of gold.

There is no question that this experience has completely transformed my life, and how I think of my spiritual self.  The possibilities for making a real contribution to society and for helping others seem endless.  What an amazing journey I’m privileged to be on.
