Question:
Just wanted to thank everyone on the forum for making this a great place to 'be' and also for information - I had my Reiki 1 attunement yesterday!
Hmm, no idea where to start....well, I have just done my first self healing, hoping I did it alright. I need to learn the hand positions and what to say to myself beforehand a little better, but I guess I am at the 'crawling' stage anyway so should not worry about not running just yet?!
The teacher was very nice and some of the things imparted sound amazing, so I'm hoping my cynical side will be quietened through my own experience of this. When you actually come to do it (a self healing) you find you just need a bit of confirmation about the steps you take and that you are doing it in the right order, and so on. The key thing emphasised to me was to do the self healing for at least 7 days, and preferably 21 days, so that is the first commitment! I guess I will feel more of a response as it progresses...the usual newbie self-doubt I suppose!
Anyway I'm sorry for the waffle,hope this doesn't sound too daft and please forgive me if I begin to quiz you all with silly questions!
A special Hi to meridianmoon and Mr Harper :D

Hi Joshua_Tree :D
And congratulations [sm=grouphug.gif]
Your self healing will have been fine, the intent was most definately there!
All the best and just enjoy it.

Hi Reikilight :)
Many thanks for that, means a lot :)
Josh :D
Hi Josh[/align][/align]Reikilight is correct, your self healing will be all right however you do it, it is IMOimportant not to get yourself too locked up in rituals as this can be a little disruptive to the natural flow of things, just try and stay relaxed and enjoy yourself, go with the flow as much as possible, no worries :-)[/align]
Hi Paul,
That sounds very good and simple too! Many thanks, will focus on that [sm=cool-smiley-021.gif]

Hi Josh
Congratulations on your 1st degree, welcome to the club! I had my 1st degree in May of this year and it's changed my whole outlook of life. It's an amazing gift we all have, I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as we do (my partner and I, as we got attuned on the same day). We are now booked in for our 2nd degree mid August! We did our self cleansing for 21 days, it takes commitment, but gives you a real sense of achievement when you get there. We also felt more 'balanced' as well.
Enjoy this time, and good luck with whatever you intend do...
Love & Light
Matt
Hi Joshua, I am pleased you have started on your journey of self healing and discovery. I trust all went well? Thanks for the special hi too, it made me smile.
Keep it simple with the hand positions as they should just flow naturally around your body and always use your intution to guide your hands. If you feel the need to put your hands somewhere, go for it.
Good luck with your self-healing too. The more you do, the more healed and developed you become. Things become clearer as time goes on and the more you can relax about self-healing, the better. It is important to clear the mind and focus on the connection prior to treating but as for the treatment itself, stay focused on your intent to heal and the flow of the energy and you will have a really good session.
Like Paul said, enjoy yourself and go with the flow.
Any questions, feel free to ask.
Darren
Hey Matt and Darren, thanks for your replies and glad I made you smile Darren!
Agree with what you said Matt, I feel a little different about things already and you attuning with your partner sounds good! Good luck for your Reiki 2. I think that is the word for the 21 days...commitment...so that needs to be my goal I think.
The day course was great Darren, did it at the teachers home as it was just me! Lucky benefit of a one to one course which was excellent - you can ask all sorts with maybe a bit less worry! I note what you say about intuition for guiding my hands; I do worry about trying to get positions/prayers exactly right, could be a carry-over from my martial arts days, but I will try to listen to the needs of my body to help.
Thanks very much for your words on the self-healing about the intent to heal, as retaining that in my mind will help me torelax more I think. About focusing on the connection, the way I did it last night was to mentally say a prayer of guidance to the Reiki, then ground myself and open my chakras, before beginning with my hands - am finding this gives me the right settling in my mind and makes it clear to myself that now I am self-healing, nothing else...I hope this makes sense?!
Anyway thanks again for your replies, means a lot :)

Hi Kachina - thank you, am honoured to have a reply from a Super Member! How many posts?!
Be well :)

Makes perfect sense Josh. I find the more focused I am when healing (i.e. keeping intention in my mind and following the flow of energy) the more relaxed I am and the more focussed the energy is.
One to one is always best as it is more personal and you can ask whatever you want to!
Let us know how you get on and enjoy the experience.
Darren
Hiya,
Congrats on your reiki 1 attunement-oh i am excited for ya!! hehehe! All i can add is go with the flow & your intuition!! it wont let you down!!

Josh
Josh,
Congratulations on joining the Reiki family. [sm=hug.gif]
You can't go too far wrong doing your self-healing. Just let it happen. If you put your hands in the wrong place or miss one, then "just for today, be free of worry". Reiki is working as it should.
Love and Reiki Hugs
Congratulations on your Reiki 1 Josh and welcome to the Reiki family.
Do whatever comes naturally to you and remember
Just for Today do not worry! :)
I would just like to add my congratulations on joining the Reiki family here at HP! It sounds to me that you are doing everything as you should, which is right for you. I love your enthusiasm!!
Love and light
