Dear Spiritalk,

I was giving Reiki treatment to a client of mine this afternoon and while I was working on her crown chakra, I sensed the presence of a female energy around me - I sensed it was my client's deceased mother.  I asked her if she was her mother and she said yes. I heard my same voice answering me in my head. Then I invited the spirit to assist me in the healing of her daughter and I sensed she went towards her feet while I was working on the crown.
Then, my conscious mind thought I needed to prove to my client that it was her indeed mother with us; so I asked the spirit entity to give me evidence to tell her daughter as to who she really was. She showed me a poodle dog and the month of September as being time for anniversaries/birthdays and so on.

After the treatment, I told my client that I felt the presence of her mother and she agreed immediately that she felt the same too and that we were both working on her. I was still not satisfied. I needed feedback and a positive one at that. I asked her about the poodle if it meant anything to her and she said yes. Then I asked her about the month of September and she said there are so many things in that month......

I know the evidence was not very strong to make a case for a spirit presence, but my client did feel or sense that there was another entity - that of her mother's- in the room.

Please tell me this is not my imagination..... I would have loved to have made contact with my client's mother while giving her Reiki and I would take that as an honour to be accompanied with another spirit's helping hand.

My client left satisfied with the treatment and promised to come back for another one.

I will appreciate your thoughts and inputs on this experience of mine.

Thank you.
Cedars

Boy do you have trust issues!  LOL  She was confirmed and the evidence was good.  What more could you expect?  I have been confirmed with less.  

When we are doing healing treatments, we are open to the spirit and it is a time we are so out of the way it is easy for spirit to come in.  I am so glad the mother was interested enough in what you were doing to aid not disrupt - it can happen.

Thank you spiritalk
Yes, sometimes when it comes to mediumship or spirit contact, I have been known to have trust issues. But thank you very much for your words of encouragement.

I had a similar experience to Cedars' during a long distance Reiki session with a friend. I saw in front of my "inner eye", as I call it, a second pair of healing hands that looked very beautiful and female to me... and I felt a presence that was authoritative, sort of like a teacher, but friendly and not threatening. I was quite startled at the time, because I had never heard of such a thing, and realized that there was a spirit presence, none of which I had ever encountered, but I continued what I was doing. I talked to my friend about it right afterward, and he wondered if it could have been a female spirit he had seen in a dream and/or a vision before. He wanted to know more, but that wish was not granted, I sensed her one more time later, but wasn't able to communicate. Days later I read in a book that it is a somewhat rare occurrence to see a 2nd pair of "helping hands" as they called it, and an indicator that a spirit guide is joining in the session.

Now the interesting thing is that she didn't seem like the spirit of a deceased but rather like a higher being with higher powers and of a protective nature. When I talked to someone else about this experience, we got to talking about guardian angels. Per my angel reading, one of my guardian angels is Gabriel who is said to have female powers and appearance. Now I am wondering if I saw and sensed my guardian angel as she joined my Reiki session... do you think that is possible, too, Spiritalk? Besides, Gabriel also happens to be my friend's guardian angel by day of birth...

Angels and the mythology surrounding it has many and varied experiences to do with their powers, etc.  I am really not into going there.  My beliefs in angels is they come where we are in dire need, appear human, then disappear after the event.  

Another experience I have with angels is that I have one that works with me when a 'stuck' spirit needs to be rescued.  They work in those realms a lot.

Seeing a second pair of hands is more common than you may think.  I know I have seen (felt) it and so have many people in my work.  It is showing the spirit guide that is working with you.  Just the other day a spiritual healer told us he felt his hands belonged to someone else - they were larger and lighter in color.  I have had the same experience.

"Now the interesting thing is that she didn't seem like the spirit of a deceased but rather like a higher being with higher powers and of a protective nature."  You would really have to explain this to me?  We have the material vibration which we function within while on the earth plane.  And we have the spirit vibration (available on earth as well as a whole separate realm of existence) but suggesting something else again has me stymied?
