Reiki - Teachings from the HeartTM

Past lives
Some people believe in past lives and reincarnation, some don't. I offer the following thoughts on the topic. Take what feels good for you and leave the rest.

I am sure, that some of us have been here before and that we can sometimes get in touch with those past life experiences. I believe, however, that time is an illusion and everything is happening simultaneously. It might be a challenge to wrap the mind around that concept.

Some cultures believe, that our response to the events in our life are based on past experience, the experience of past lives, our childhood and our upbringing, our inherited coding through family and culture.

We do not need to hold on to this belief conditioning. We can choose every instant to look at the events in our lives from a new perspective. A perspective that allows us to see things and events differently. This means that instead of using our past experience to help us judge the happenings, we can take a new approach. One without judgment.

Past lives can have a restricting influence on our present lives. Sometimes we bring unresolved issues from a previous lifetime into our present lifetime. For example, events that we deeply resented or prevent us from experiencing a joyful life. These can manifest in this lifetime as anything from an addiction, claustrophobia, mayor illnesses or disabilities, an unhappy marriage, or any other difficulty.

Reiki allows us to identify these past life issues and heal them in this lifetime. Here it is important to know that we are never presented with anything that we are not ready to deal with.

The resolving of a past life issue brings about immense release. There is a tremendous joy experienced when the original cause of a problem is released.

Assisted past life healing leads the person into the depth of their own being, it may be frightening, but it is well worth the journey. Change comes about when we recognize what it is that needs change. And sometimes an experience leads to the questioning of our belief system.

Reiki and Past Life Issues
Reiki can be successfully used with issues concerning a past life. The symbol to use in such a case is the Sei-He-Ki for the emotional aspect and the Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen for the past life factor. If a past life experience manifests during a hands-on Reiki session, the two symbols can be drawn over the person or visualized. You can then assist the person to move back to that particular past life, that causes her trouble and guide her through. She can change the scenario. She has the possibility to re-create the scene with a joyful happy outcome. You have the opportunity to take her through this experience with love, calmness and compassion. It will be a blessing for the two of you. No one is healed alone. The healing always goes both ways. Do not be afraid, you will not find yourself ever in a situation that you cannot handle. And always remember, you are not alone. Your Reiki guides are with you. Ask them for their help and assistance.

Past life issues always manifest as current problems. So be aware, that the roots of a current problem can lie very well in a past life issue. When someone seeking help for an existing problem like an addiction, unhappy relationship, financial difficulties, health problems, etc, it is important to remain open to the possibility that the roots of the problem lie in a past life. Where your intuition or your guides indicate that this is the case use the Sei-He-Ki and the Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen.

Lost Souls or fragmented Spirits
Another topic that I'd like to briefly mention are lost or fragmented spirits. These are spirit attachments that the person (host) has invited at some point in her life. They can also be attached to a place, a house or an object. When you become aware of such a lost Soul know that you can help your person as well as the lost spirit. For some reason that lost soul has chosen to stay with the host instead of going to the light It might be that the lost soul is afraid or still resentful and angry. Many of those lost souls are children, who died in traumatic ways. They may not even be aware of their death. Or they may know but still be afraid of moving on into the light. Remember that even the darkest of the dark entities comes from the light.

Talk to them, ask their name and why they are here. Be compassionate, person, kind and loving. Encourage the lost soul to go to the light and call on the angels to assist in that procedure. Ask your person if she is willing to let the soul move on and if the soul is ready and willing to go to the light. Visualize a pillar of light at the head of your person and ask the spirit to go into that light Above all, do not get frightened. All you are asked to do in such a case is offer your love and your help.

These attachements can take on many forms (from sticks over meat eating plants to black clouds). Trust your feelings when you sense an attachement. They try to hide sometimes. Ask them to leave. If the gentle asking is not enough - command them to leave. Always ask for the assistance of your guides and the angels.

UPDATE - from my ReikifireNews letter August 2003 issue:

..There have been dark ones. None of them were created by God, none of them were manifestations that fell from hights of attainment or octaves of light.

Every dark magician, every beast, every evil that has ever been in this world has been a man made creation. And it is important so that you never be fooled again by the sinister force that will sooner rather than later leave this world. Because the Ascended Hosts are coming so close to you my beloved Hearts. So realize in the great truth of life, the great heart of life, where perfection exists, there is nothing good and there is nothing bad. And as it is said here, in the human octave there is nothing good and bad except that thinking makes it so.

As such you are creator beings. Your world has undergone massive purification in 100 years. There are no dark magicians left, there are no beasts left, there are no poltergeists left, there are no disembodied spirits left. And there are thousands of lightworkers who will disagree with me. And I have no care for the opinions of human beings (audience applauds). And I say to you, dear Hearts, you can feel the presence of a loved one if your attention is upon that loved one. Compelling that one's love to be in this world. And you have the easiest thing you can do dear Hearts, because you do it every day, it is create thought forms that you bring into manifestation that you call physical form. And what are the beasts that were in your world? They were thought forms, created by human beings who fed off your emotional bodies and who became beastly manifestations.

There are no satans left, there are no beasts left and there are no disembodies spirits left. Because under the Cosmic Law and the dispensation that was given only a few short years ago, everyone who goes through the change called death, must leave the body, must leave this world and is escorted by the Angelic Host back up into the planes of bliss, regardless of the depth of discord or hatred or fear that they had within themselves. The only reason they could not ascend back up to the light was because of the fear and hatred ………..
