Meeting with Other Reiki Volunteers

 

Yesterday I went to the BWH to meet with the founder and officers of the Reiki Pilot Volunteer Program. There were 5 of us. There’s another girl around the same age as I, one in her 50’s, one in her 30’s and one Asian woman in her 40’s. We had everyone in different age group but we were all women!! We were all having at least 1 year of experience with Reiki, and we would be the first to start this program.

 

We first spent 10 minutes meditating. Thank god that I was tired so I used that time to rest a little bit. I was surprised that I was able to sit still for 10 minutes without moving or fidgeting. But twice I felt itchy and wanted to scratch myself. After that we had to do Reiki treatments on each other. I got paired up with the Asian lady and I had to do it on her first. The first step I had done it wrong because I wasn’t setting an intention and my Reiki didn’t come for the first 5 minutes. Then I did the whole treatment and I kind of did the sweeping of the aura wrong too….

 

Then I had mine done by 2 people at the same time. It must be fate because afterwards the founder, Pat, who’s also a nurse and Reiki Master, said that I was cooking! I’ll explain what it means later. So I was having Reiki done by the Asian woman Betty and a vocational therapist Debbie. I didn’t really feel much from Betty on my head. I might have felt something at the heart and the solar plexus, that’s it. I can’t really explain what it is, because it’s so subtle that you think it’s your imagination. But I’ve heard enough by other people that you think you imagined it, but you did not.

 

I felt more with Debbie, maybe because her hands were warm? Betty’s hands were cold on the other hand. But I don’t know if it’s relaxing or what, my mind wasn’t everywhere. It was focused on two things – the music and the gentle touch from their hands. After my Reiki was done, I got up and felt light headed. Usually I’m not like that let’s say when I get up from a nap. This one was like as if I was in a trance and I got up and had to shake my head and refocus my eyes and mind. Then the nurse Pat told Debbie that she was very powerful. None of us asked what was going on. But when I talked to Debbie, she told me that Pat can see some wild stuff, like how energy moves, everything! Of course including spirits and other sorts of unimaginable stuff.

 

After we were done showing what we know, Pat explained the rules. No jeans! No open toes! Am I supposed to wear sneakers in a pair of pants? Eeeww….

 

So Pat told me that I was “cooking” when I had Reiki done by 2 people.  I was just laughing but when I went home and thought about it, I knew what she meant. This has happened to me during my Reiki I class in Newton too! The other students were doing Reiki on me and one of the students, who was a physical therapist and can see energy, said she saw smoke coming out of my feet. My Reiki teacher was trying to unblock the energy on my 3^rd eye and she felt a lot of my energy bursting out and she felt so overwhelmed by my energy that she ran to the bathroom. She said it almost made her want to throw up. What Pat was talking about was actually due to these energies trapped inside me. When Reiki was performed on me, it helped release all these trapped energies and that’s what she meant that I was “cooking”! I swear I need more Reiki sessions to get all those out of me, whether it means paying to get it done.

 

I feel pretty bad for some of the volunteers because out of the 5 of us, only I and the Asian woman have a job. The rest are looking for jobs. It kinda makes me feel lucky to have a job.
