I'm new so I hope I'm not stepping on any toes here. A member had sought me out for Reiki on another site and recommended IPARTE. So I came to check it out... I love the energy here! Positivity and purpose are like gravity to me... I'm drawn to them. I am a reiki practitioner (getting ready to take the Master/Teacher course) looking to do what I can to help restore hope to those that have lost it and provide treatment for those who may need a lil light during their troubles.

Hi Armondo. You arent stepping on any toes. Iparte is your website too so please feel free to share anything that inspires you. Welcome. :)

Namaste

Bless you both for all that you are trying to accomplish.. I'm sure I've only scratched the surface but as I said... I love the vibe of this place and it's members... Can't explain it beyond that *shrugs*. Thank you for your hospitality and graciousness

reiki is indeed a beautiful energy. it can help anyone connect with their own divine self and that of any other being: human, animal, plant or food. i'm sure it can and does affect the vibrations of minerals too as they are just lower vibrations of energy.
life is full of wonder.

Can you guys recommend a good excercise to help me to channel energy? So far I have found music as a good outlet, but it's hard to carry a piano around haha! I get overwhelmed with the energy of the world, and have become better at meditation to calm mysel and my own inner turmoil, but I really would love to be able to have a better flow with the kind of intense bitter energy in my house.

@Jason: That intense, bitter energy is your teacher. So, what is the lesson?

Whenever we resist, we set up a wall against which another, stronger force may push. The more we resist, the stronger becomes the opponent. Resistance leads to pain. Resistance is not futile, as it provides us an experience from which we may learn. But, ultimately, resistance is futile. Resist anyway, that one may learn. Once having learned, there is no more need to resist.

You wisely seek a better flow. Think of life as a vast, powerful river; one so broad that you cannot see either bank . . . and you are in the middle of it. What to do? If one struggles against the powerful current, you will quickly tire, and will surely drown. But, if you were to roll on your back, pointing the feet down the river, and gently use the hands and feet as rudders, you would find that the journey was much easier, and that the current will carry you to the river's edge, and perceived safety. But, weren't you safe all along?

The journey to Reiki Master is highly recommended for those who wish to clear their path in life of the obstacles within, to "connect with their own divine self." Be forewarned: This may not be without some effort, and pain, as the ego tends to resist these changes with great vigor. But, as Andi also stated, "Reiki is indeed a beautiful energy."

@ Andi.. I couldn't agree more with your statement more! Thanks for stopping by and sharing your point of view :-)
@ Jason.. Music is good! I personally love to cook.. and dance (sometimes both at the same time.. what can I say, it's the Latin in me lol) or spend time in nature... Those are some of my favs but not confined to... Oh yeah and I agree w/Urizah 100%, it's up to you to find the "sweetness"... harmony, if you will
@Urizah.. ~Namaste~ My Reiki Master said it best when she said, "you will get out of Reiki what you put into it". So true! What started of as a curiousity has incorporated itself into my life and became a lifestyle change. A small testament to what is capable when you surrender and believe, no?

..PS... Almost forgot *smacks 4head*.. "Thanks for dropping by Ya'll and it's a pleasure meeting all of you :-)

Thank you for the great advice you guys!! Lol the lessons in life can sure be rough but I definetely see what you mean :) I will work more on "going with the flow" of life and learning the lessons meant for me with less grumbling haha. Thanks again to you both :)

Can a person posses natural healing ability? Can healing intent be done remotely, or are my intentions just coincidental?

Hi David and thanks for stopping by :-) To answer your question, we are all born with the same Devine Light within and we are all a part of The Source (God, Allah, Buddah, etc). Since God is the ultimate healer and we are God's creation, we all have natural healing abilities. In biofeedback tests the one profound component of the "stronger" healers is more experience. So the more we use our natural healing abilities the more noticeable the results are. With any healing modality, intention is EVERYTHING!! Since space and time are matters of the human psyche are souls don't follow the same rules. Healing energy doesn't abide by the same rules and will transcend space and time. It's how we're able to heal our "past" and send healing energy to our "future". I hope I haven't confused you further. Feel free to contact me is you have any other questions ;-)

What you are feeling is your own energy field and apparently are sensitive to energy. This is extremely useful for a "healer" though not a requirement. When doing a healing others perceive the energy sometimes as heat, sometimes as a tingle, and even sometimes as just a feeling of total relaxation. We all have the ability to heal. The difference between most healing modalities and Reiki is that with Reiki we are taught to tune into Universeal Healing Energy and transfer that as opposed to using our own energy, which can be draining and has the possibility of transferring or picking up some negative energy that we don't want to share or receive. Also with Reiki, as you give, you receive. It's a win win thing :)

Cathi,

What you said is very true about using our own energy. There was a person that I met several years ago that was able to heal others, but he wasn't taught Reiki and each time he healed someone he would have to rest several hours or days (depending on how much energy he used to heal the person) just to get back to his normal energy.
