The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Lately I have discovered Reiki.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
it is real for me, cause I do it...what are your perspectives on it?

This is the first for me hearing about such a thing. It does sound interesting, and well be looking into it, and who knows maybe I'll even give it a shot.
Thanks for the info :)

Interesting idea...heard of it, but never seen it actually work... but I wonder sometimes if my energy aura isn`t broken and try to fix it but failed every time... I should get into this more...

Yes, you should Ahriman, because you can not get results in a couple of days. It takes years. But some people are more into it then others. You might discover you have a head for it..and the abilities:)
I will help you!

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

We studied a little about this in my class...we did a little energy work..it was awesome...I didnt believe what I was feeling!

when i went to japan when i was in the marines one of my freinds had it doen and i got to watch its pretty kewl i was kinda unshure at the time to have it done to myself but now i def. would do it im more mature about things now ...it seemed to me it was basiclly repairing your aura.. so id like to find someone near me who nows it but its hard to...

I wonder if this could help prevent or heal the energy draining from psy-vampires... it could be an useful tool.

Been a Reiki M/T for about 4 yrs now and yes have seen/ done some amazing stuff. This thing is on the level, if you are interested, please look into it.

You can do it on me anytime! hehe. My muscles are extremely tense all the time...but I have heard of this technique...very unique I must say.

As for psy vamps, I have found sucking in all the White Light from above works really well. But that is for another thread.

yeah but finding someone who is on the level is kinda hard to do and whenyou do find them its expensive i ve herd

I realy want to learn it but i can not find anywhere which will teach it

First try iarp.org, yes i'm a member, it will list all members in the world. Also try new age stores that give the free mag out and call someone listed to talk to them. Some times you can catch a health fair at a mall or college and get a free session.

I've heard of it before...my mum gets it done for her shoulder, back, hip and legs! My pops sister does it also...its very helpful and your right it does help heal people...the energy from the practitioner is drawn into the one with low energy! Its an ancient Japanese style of healing...it dates back to 500AC...

sweet thnks billy thatll help out alot ...

Actually it goes back far move than that. JC is said to have used it. After all, how many Universal Healing Energies can there be. So one can see that this Reiki is strong stuff. Dr Usui rediscovered it just before WW2, hence the Japanese spelling but the energy available has been around for some time.

I had it done to myself and felt great. My friends and I are getting into it more and more. We would love to control it for our own good..healing your family and such things...yourself...not for money. We are into it and the best things are the coloures we see...they are amazing.
I caught the best coloures after jogging. My body was relaxed, my mind too...it was wonderful.
Beware of non profesionals though...it can be dangerous!

stress is bad very bad for the body.

A young bgirl got played in her job, lost financing for her center, and she took it to heart and was so stressed her hair turned white.

Either B5 or B6 makes hair stay the original color.

The other vitamin, which ever it is vit B5 or B6 helps fight against anemia. It is one or the other.

Stress makes you age in a variety of ways. If there is anything you can do, do it, especially if you are a neurotic person.

A very close friend performed a reiki session on me, and it was the most soothing, mind clearing experience; I felt like I could take on the world afterward, I was relaxed and so clear on everything

It's probably related in some way to 'Ki' (Chi, Om, The Force)

I've used my energy to help people. I've never let them use thier energy on me though.

Well, I was a non-believer in the actual thing, wanted to believe and, this week-end I actually saw it work! It was done on me and I have to say that it works... and the thing is that the energy fields, I can feel them too... but the point is that it exists, works and it is good...

I am happy to see that you enjoy this thread. I invite you all to explore your own energy..but be carefull, not to harm yourself. Do it with somebidy that knows what they are doing.
See Ahriman, I told you it wirks. I am happy to see that we are growing in the family...:))

I've been attuned for reiki and have gone through reiki 1.....something happened to my teacher though and he said he is not in the right mind/body to continue teaching at this moment. I dont know if I should wait for him to heal whatever is wrong or find a new teacher in the same school.....any ideas?
I'd really like to continue learning...

REiki to me is the best form of relaxation. i go to a professional about once every two-three weeks to have a session done and afterward i feel so relaxed and at peace that i never want to leave her office!

Reiki can be expensive to get done for one big reason. It costs WAY too much to get attuned. Thing is it is POSSIBLE to practice Reiki without the attunments, its just harder to learn, think of the attunement as a “shortcut” if you will, your energy is externally realigned for you rather then you learning to re-align yourself.

Which is a damn shame, cause if it was more widely available it could help SO many people.

My partner is a level 3 reiki master, and a level 2 Seikhem (sp) master as well, it is possible to have training in more then one energy system, she is also a Shaman, but I have seen her do some amazing things, but I’ve also seen her mess up her own head when she tried something’s right on the limit of her ability.

I’d say look into it, there are some VERY fine books out there, there is even one which will teach you the attunment symbols and how to perform an attunement, much like a form of symbol or ideogrammatic magic, but as with all things “enter eyes open, and do no harm”

My brother's wife does this. She swares by it. Sounds interesting to me....but if you're gonna put your hands on my back, you best be squeezin'!! LOL

I'm not capable of doing Reiki. But I did end up at a a friends of a friends house whose mother who practiced this.

I had recently broken up with a boyfriend who had tore me to shreds emotionally.

The boys mother offered to do Reiki and it was marvelous.

It was insightful and allowed me to see what I felt and help me to feel better about decisions and whether or not if I made a good decision.

After I felt a lot better, relazed. And I wasn't poisioned with rage and anger which had been really hurting me.

When you are recieving a treatment you feel carless and free, my wife treats me from time to time, its gr8

In my office (I'm a Massage Therapist) we offer Reiki. I'm looking forward to receiving my Level I attunement in July. My associate is a Level III. We've never had anyone come in looking for just a Reiki treatment. She usually will offer it as a free add-on if it will help a client in pain. I've been on the receiving end many times from many different Reiki healers. For me, it usually feels warm at the injury points.

well I have three new books I picked up on the street recently

owning your own shadow

something abut undertanding femininity

and the one I just had in my hand was called

chi organ massage

chi is the life force of energy moving through things

I highly recommend 'Essential Reiki' by Diane Stein

I don't know alot about Reiki, but i do know it is a good way to reduce stress.

There are other forms of stress reduction though that don't just release stress, but give the entire body an verhaul ..Yoga...Chakra healings , acupuncture and other known healing arts do a body good to and using more then one might bring on even better results. :)

Being a yoga instructor, I also suggest the many forms of yoga and meditation for a stress reliever.

I've heard that meditation can help release the stress... reiki is more a thing to find your balance and I don't think it is expensive unless you are trying to gain money from it... more or less, I think everybody can do it, even if you can't send your energy to others or heal their energy aura, at least be capable of communicate yourself with the nature, make yourself better first then try help others...

Good point!
You can not expect to help others before helping yourself.
As a method of relaxation it is great....you can tell it works by the wy you react to the "treatment"...for example, I was extremely stresses out when I started practicing..and I gather stress every day at work...when I practice...I yawn a lot :) I mean I yawn like crazy...big tears comming down my cheak...That is how I react..other people cry...other laugh...it is different for all.

there are so many different energy, life force channeling "things" that i hear about everyday... one more doesn't really surprise me.

You hear about them, but how many ways are truly out there to enable you to really feel the enrgy that surrounds and connects us? Feel it, find your own way of exploring it and then you can decide what bothers you or not, what you believe in or not...

Here's an odity for you.

I don't practice Reiki myself (trust me, I am an energy blank, I can't even do the simple tricks!) but I do Reflexology. When I do, I get hot, really hot, and the recipiant generally feels this, and relaxes really well, even with a basic treatment, I am wondering if subconciously I'm channeling energy at the same time? anyone with comments?

I dont find it expensive at all....whe n I got attuned to reiki 1 it was for free. The person who did it said I had great potential. I've been offered other lessons as well.
::shrugs::

well it isn't really unseen life energy anymore. I don't know how many thousands of years the technique has been in practice, or if it is a new age thingy, but

science has got it figured out.

Massaging various organs and tissues opens spaces in the body that releases toxins through channels.

Toxins cause cancer, waste products form complex prionic chains. These prions string together and poke the cell walls, when the cell wall grows back the prion is still there, you can't get rid of prions, just like fat cells. That is why the massaging of organs and tissues would remove these waste products B4 they string together and cause cancer. When inflammed body parts grow back, there is a mutation in the DNA, they don't always grow back with a healthy nucleus.

Not all Reiki practitioners massage.
It's more of a moving of chi without the laying of hands...and it's been around for a while.
You might want to look up more info on it before you go talking about the technicalities of massage.

Lillith, there is a book I have been thumbing through called

Internal Organs Chi Massage

Mantak & Maneewan Chia

that was where I got the toxin stuff massage stuff

someone mentioned above that Reiki does employ the use of hands, so I just incorporated this text into this topic because they are related.

I mean the first thing that doctors do before they do x-rays or whatever they lay their hands on you like the Bon Jovi song

Lay your hands on me

Well....that book is on massage...lol reiki is not massage.
But I can see your point.
Every Reiki session I have ever had was with hands above me and around me. I was never touched.
Now, I have been touched during chakra balancing...but thats different too

They don't touch you? How the hell is that supposed to work? That is the placebo effect, or even the God effect, believing in God does have healing properties, but it is pyscho-asymptomatic. Eventually though the body has to be physically manipulated in order to cause physical change.

The metaphysical touch you speak of, only heals metaphysically, there is only so much the mind can do, even if you believe whole heartedly

You do not have to touch a person to feel its energy. Material things are not always the best proof you know...

i am a level one reiki practioner and all i can realy say is that it works but it doesnt work well unless you have a teacher to take you through the attuning meditation and those take an hour atleast. and reiki is another form of energy minipulation i work with a few energy vampire who use my work with reiki as a form of feeding and so ive been teaching them a little bit of energy minipulation on plants and what not and it has been the greatest tool ive ever had

After reading this fascinating thread, I've heard this technique from a friend and am very excited about experiencing this in the near future.

I've heard of the whole healing hands thing, but didn't realize that Reiki was the name for it. I have never tried it before, but I don't doubt that it would help in those areas.

VIS- Whether you believe in god or not...you can and do manipulate energy without touching. It works just as well as touching, sometimes even better because it gets past those physical barriers.
I am undergoing more teaching to this effect.
I have been supervised with two clients so far...one has come in three times in the last week. She has shown tremendous change in her malady....and no hands were placed directly on anything. It's all energy...and healing...and it comes from within me and around me.
I'm enjoying my lessons very much....and knowing that such things are possible

This is the first time that I have heard of this, though I have heard of other techniques that help with the same thing. It can be very helpfull when done correctly

well i neve knew till years ago that what i had been doing all these years just by instinct had a name so its awesome ask lown he likes it

Reiki is ideal for both psi-vampires and those being fed upon by psi-vampires, it is an infinite sourse of healing energy that works unobtrusively and at all levels

it to some extent also automatically shields one from psychic attacks as it brings the body's vibrational level at a very high frequency thus keeping the lower forces and parasitic forms away

it also works at the causal level in that it heals the causal body of the karmic basis of illness, aiding one to bring out and release ther patterns that are the source of most illnesses.

the baisc thing that i have noticed that distinguishes Reiki from most enertgy healing methods is that

1) it is outside of one, that one is but a fascilitator, a vehicle and channel for the energy which is essentially living and external at one level, that is useful as one cannot make a mistake, as one merely allows he Reiki to do its healing work

2) it is gentle, and never is intrusive

yes it is sometimes expensive to get an attunement, but think of it this way, how much money does one spend on medicine, active and passive, also on the patterns that we support to escape many of our illnesses, overeating, substance abuse, buying things that we dont really need just to feel good, toxic relationships etc

when seen in this light it is an investment in ourselves more than anything else

afterall health is one of the doorways to joy, if not a keystone

Reiki is precious and in my experience far outweighs gold

my friends mom does it to her patients, she's like i like a physical therapist but she does that and my friend tried it on me once, it's like wow. i dont know if it was it was this kind the daughter did to me, but i do know it was involing engery and such. i felt wonderful after. and all she did was like place her hands like 5 inches above me and was like motioning the energy. i dont know too much and i'm deeply sorry if thats the wrong things but...thats my experince.

there is a japanese art much like masaging (spelling...lol)
but you dont touch...the masuse/masure focuses in on his hand chakras and evens out the energy of the "patient" or w/e you want to call the person that pays for it...lol customer! lol

but, its like a touch free masage.
and i think that when it is done the masuse/masure practices a reiki technique...
and, i met someone at a chinese restaraunt (a real one, w/ chinese ppl, not white ppl...lol)
and they did it, and they have this lil place where they do it and have customers, so i talked them into doing that for me for a low cost...lol
it was wonderful.

tryed it and loved it my mind and my aura are finally working together again.

I have now had aboaut 4-5 Reiki treatments. The first one was free, the next were basically a dollar a minute.I am willing to pay this as it is WORKING for me. My knee is so much better. I could barely walk most of the time when I first started and now I can walk almost pain free.

As for hand placement....most of the time she has her hands in the air but there are points where she does place them on me...my knee being one of them.

Reiki wins in my book.

I've seen it before but never had it done. There is a place not too far from me that offers more than one type of reiki. It offers the 'regular' japanese, but it also offers something called Lightarian Reiki (I think that's what it was called anyway). I always wondered what the difference was but I've never bothered to ask. Reiki has always looked interesting but I've always gone for the massage instead. Maybe one day I'll have it done.

I don't think it necessarily has to "have it done"... mostly you have to understand it...and feel it... It is somehow like the religion and atheists...if they don't believe it, it cannot be applied to them. So the more you look into it, try to understand it, the more it will help you, even without the aid of a professional who charges you a lot for doing it...he is just the channel...you are actually the one who absorbs the energy and molds it...

Well, I have to agree with the idea mostly, buuuut, I think if you're eating right and exercising 3 or 4 times a week, there should be no reason why you can't "feel" healthy and energetic.

I know from experience when you stop exercising your energy level decreases tremendously.

That is also true; a healthy life style can provide all the energy you need, but there is hard to find such a thing in the industrialized world of our century.

I unfortunately have not heard of this until recently. I heard of this from MasterThoth, you may want to ask him if you are really that interested. He is very knowledgable about many things.

I have experienced Reiki, and its very relaxing. What happens is they'll place semi precious stone on you to help balance your energies during the process according to your chakras. Then they'll lay energy upon you with their hands without touching you. The first time I had it was very incredible. I was invited back to my old professor's place as she was teaching reiki to a student of hers. I agreed to to help along. It was really fun. I recommend this to anyone for healing.

A friend has been urging me to have this done but I've been leery due to knowing nothing about it. Having read this thread, I believe it just could work. I'll have to try it now.

When I was a child, I fell off of a duplex building and injured my back quite terribly. Since then, I have had back problems and trying everything from massage to pain medications, I have had no relief until I tried Reiki. A good friend of mine is a practioner of Reiki and after several sessions with her, my back pain is almost nill. I recommend giving it a try. I am so glad that I did.

have a friend who is an adept at reki and has worked on me for some time. love it would love to do that on myself

i have experienced Reiki few months ago from a friend of mine, It`s a very relaxing thing and even it`s good for the mind. after this therapy i was feeling like i`m born new again

my roommate is a licensed massage therapist and she is wanting to learn to do reiki so she can have that as an option for massages it is basically energy work to help heal whatever needs to be healed.

I am a Massage Therapist and Reiki master I use it all the time for people with many different levals of stress and depression. I will start my treatment with a massage designed for them and follow it with a Reiki session and some deep breathing/Meditation. It is a very cool modality that everyone should enjoy in there life.

We are told what many of us have intuitively felt for a long time: Reiki energy is always present, always real, pure and always perfect the way it is. Impurity only enters the world of Reiki when we try to use the energy for own petty, egoistic ends. Reiki is and will always be part of the collective heritage of the human race that can not be owned by an individual or a certain group. It remains what it is : a wonderful gift that is given to us by existence, life or god- whatever you may be inclined to call it. Lets come together and honor it in this spirit....

i would like to try once i need some stress relife......

Maybe It's more about attitude and your faith in it? At any rate it sounds like fun. I will give it a try sometime.

My best friend has been studying and recently teach Reiki for a few years. The way she explained it to me, and I'm sure I am not remembering it all, is that it started with one person...who got it from god..and this person taught it to others. Depending on who your teacher is that person should be able to name their entire lineage of Masters. This can be based on any faith system for additional help in energy work, but my friend said the way based on Jesus (not like the strict xtians would call it, but as the real person himself was) works best. Dang, I know she said the names of her lineage Masters, but I can't remember. One was an Asian name, another was Hawaiian, and so forth.

I believe faith is the strogest medicine of all. If you believe that Reiki works for you then it very well may be your own persoal cure. Just like some people believe in a specific cough syrup, etc. I do believe pressure points can be very effective -- could it be that it follow as a kind of pressure point therapy?

I have tried reiki and doesn't work as well as acupuncture for me.

Day after day I get prooves that Reiki really works...I am telling you, it really works! I have friends that after a one session of therapy could sleep better, were in a less pain...I am feeling bad that I cannot take advantage of it the way I like or often...but I will like to get more into it.
Of course, like every therapy, you have to believe or even want this to work, because if the mind doesn't want to be healed, the body will reject every treatment...

reiki sounds interesting were can i find some information about it

hi i have trained to do reiki and enjoyed working and helping people around me .. it does work in alot of different ways , different people get different effects, visual, dizzyness, tingling feeling, i feel it is a type of meditation aswell as energy flow, i highly recommend it

@deathdealer: the internet is full of resources about Reiki, but the best is to find someone who can actually show you what it means, to explain it to you, to demonstrate how it works...words on a computer screen sometimes mean just nothing, especially when dealing with forces like that...

Good Luck with your level 1 IndigoBizarre. It will be important for you to increase your water intake and to take a shower right after your attunement. Don't ask, it is just one of those things that you should listen to. You may also wish to keep a dairy of any experiences that may happen to you for the next 21 days. Let us know how everything works out after your month.

Hi IndigoBizarre, Someone close to me has Fibrom* and I have rhumetoid arthritis. Please let me know how it works out. Good luck!

Reiki is the same as a magickal energy healing... It is a learned art of pressure and energy flow that pulls out all the negativity that taints auras and constricts energy... It is very soothing and it will help if that is what you are wondering.

Kalisto on VR is a Reiki master and im sure would be happy to help anyone understand it.

also, there are many good websites that cover the subject of Reiki, just google the word and have fun.

ah, yes i heard that from a massuese. I tried it with my grandpa's foot and he said he felt a little better.

Wow I have not ever heard of this before it sounds like something I should look into thank you

I have seen people do it and it appears to work. I had an experince where someone did this to me and I had a adverse reaction to it. Im Native American and my Medicine Women was able to help me threw the reaction and told me that some people can put bad medicine inside of you and to be careful when allowing people to heal you.

I have heard of Reiki though I have never participated in it myself. I have an older sibling who resides in Japan and apparently it is a very common practice there. After inquiring as to whether or not he has tried it he said that it was interesting although he did not feel that the affects were long lasting. I am interested in learning more about this.

Reiki is a healing system. There is no bad energy being used or going anyway. No-one experiences "adverse reactions." They experience what is called an emotional release of some kind. This release is for higher grow and greater well being. Needless to say, it is not always pleasant. I have worked on my Reiki Master and later that some night, I went home from work with what felt like broken ribs. At work, it felt like some-one had took a spear and thrushed into my solarplexus! The whole experience has painful as hell and lasted three days. It wasn't physical but one of those strange things that happens when dealing with Spiritual. My ReikiMaster did not put bad enegry into me, or do anything to me. It was just for my higher learning. Thems the breaks. It was either a Karma thing or some release of past hurts. But this is what happens with Reiki. It releases negative and supplies positive Universal energy - "for your higher growth."
The next time you see your Medicine Woman, slap her in the back of the head for me. And tell her, I said, "wakeup and get with the program!" ~ Billy

It is not a good ideea to play with unknown forces. By the way, if you do bad, it will return to you most certainly. Reiki is for healing. If you try to use it for bad purposes it will either not work or come back to bite you in the posterrior...
Another problem is that you have to do it constantly.. eitherwise you will fell into this... powerless sensation.. lifeless..moody..

Indeed there is no connection between religion and Reiki...maybe only that through Reiki you could reach a higher enlightened phase... also that is not true that Reiki and traditional or any other form of Medicine are not connected or that are no side effects...There is always a side effect no matter the treatment of the form in which is applied...all the Reiki Masters recommend that their actions to be corroborated with a health specialist and the treatment which he applies, if the case.

that sounds alot like faith healing i have seen in churches when i was younger

I have not heard of it yet it seems like it would be very benefitual to one self.. may have to try
