Would you perhaps say that those that in your opinion 'do really know' are those that perhaps are natural real healers rather than taught to be healers?

Would like to say thanks to Gem for reminding me about this section before I begin my story.

Well where to begin:

About ten years ago I had a car accident, after working a 12 hour shift I hopped into my car and drove from Sydney where I worked to a place called Picton.  I didn't reach Picton, but I was really close.  It was foggy night and what I thought happened was I got run off the road by another motorist who didn't realise that I had.  Later as I sat in hospital while a police office tried his hardest not to make me laugh as I had two crack ribs, a very bruised face and and fractured ankle I realised I had fallen asleep at the wheel.

And So I had some time off work and was hanging out with my friends when one weekend they suggested we go to this Reiki Attunement thing on the way to Camden that we heard of at a New age shop.  So with my $150 I think it was or $130 I traveled with my friends to a community hall.  Before I could get attuned it took about 5 or 6 people to give me Reiki until the Reiki Master thought I was ready for the first level of attunement.  It was funny as these kind people healed me I tasted and felt their different energies.  A lot of them felt like cold water running down my spine, almost like the feeling of an epidural if you have ever had one when the pain relief flows into your body.  Not that back then I knew the feeling but I do now.  The Reiki master took us individually behind a curtain, and asked us to shut our eyes.  I felt her movements with her hands as she circled in front of my face and various parts of my body.  I can't remember getting to emotional as I think my body was still recovering from the car accident.

I haven't been attuned further as I have not had the money, now since I have been thinking about it I am not sure I want to be just yet.  As the Reiki energy is a different energy to what I am use to.  I think I have always healed with my hands, but it was different to reiki, instead of seeing violet and gold as I am told the colours of reiki are I see green.

My Cats loved my green healing or comfort, I miss them so.  Mmm will have to find photographs of them and put them on my blog as I think they deserve their stories told.  So any who that is my Reiki story, if I decide in the future to be attuned further I will take Flight of Angelwings's advice and ask from within myself to send out sensers for some one to help me.

My first Attunement made me 'high'  I felt wonderful it was so incredible.  I was light and happy and free.  Very very secure and carefree.  

My masters warned us that the second attunement can make others a bit teary and withdrawn.  I thought to myself no way not me I'm always high.  Well during my atunement my dead Pop came in and spoke so clearly to me.  I found my clairvoyance blew wide open and I saw more and felt more than ever before.  I came out and cried for he next two days.  I just bled my soul dry of my sadness tha had been so deep within me that I didnt even know it was there.  After this time though I felt better, I actually got a bruised third eye!

I found after a few weeks I stopped eating meat.  I just went off it, lost weight which I could afford to and my whole perception changed.  I started being a little more selfish.  In a good way though because as a mum to three children the youngest autistic I found that I gave all of myself and left nothing for me.  So I started rebalancing myself for the good.  

It was certainly a different energy to the first attunement.  Well worth it once you feel the pull to do it.

I have reiki for my bone disease and it helps so much, takes away all my pain for the next half an hour.  Which makes me ask do you give the baby inside reiki?

I love giving Reiki to pregnant women, makes the baby either sleep like a log or go dancing inside!

I think you will find when your ready the master will approach you before you even think to do it.

I tried last night after reading your post and little Bridget thought there was  disco happening so she started to dance.  I never did Reiki on Beau-Keith while he was in the womb as I wasn't really sure I should, after talking to one of my friends whom I really wouldn't want doing Reiki on me.  I guess some people you can trust cause you can tell they know what they are doing and others you wander where they got taught.  So that put me off doing Reiki on my son, I try not to do any kind of magic while I am pregnant as I do not know what will happen to the unborn child.  I guess some children are more sensitive to it then others.

My autistic son loves reiki.  He loves having his aura played with and being touched cuddled etc he is Autistic but unlike other autistic kids loves one on one contact.  Reiki is always safe for babies and children as it is always natural and if from the mother comes from such a place of the highest love and respect given that it helps with bonding.  I have always felt that mothers intuitively gave their kids reiki or a similar energy anyway as the first thing we do to a scraped knee is a cuddle and kiss, what better medicine than that!  

I always let the kids dictate how much and how long.  I read the body language too if they want hands on or off and the amount they require.  Initially it can be squirmy and alot of movement but it doesnt take long for that to pass.  When a child has had enough they'll sit up or walk away and play.  I let them have free roam and never try to encourage them to stay longer as their bodies know exactly how much is needed.  Reiki also lingers for a little while so you know they'll go and still carry it within for a short time.

If your friend is a reiki master and you feel an uncomfortable energy and your gut says no then its a good thing you listen to it.  It could be that your picking up on her frustrations and dissapointment regarding a certain area in her life, or she may not have the best interests right through to her being a polar opposite to you and your body requires a similar personality to feel comfortable.  

I've found that recently I've judged people wrong and I know I shouldnt and try not to but my first impressions have been wrong all because I was searching my clairsentience and picked up a foreign energy and mistook it for someone I would have nothing in common with.  Only to find later i needed to know them so much and became close friends with them.  I'm not saying this is the case your in at all though I believe yours is a different one all together.

Hmmmmm......May I ask you to try something with bubby?  Are you psychic at all it wont matter if your not as the bond of mother and child is so strong anyway.  

Say your Reiki prayers and cleanse etc.  Shake away the stagnant energy of your less dominant hand.  So if your right handed use your left hand, if you write with your left use your right.  Clear your mind of all thoughts and place this hand over your belly.  You can either rest it on your tummy or hover it over your tummy.  Now think and feel the palm of your hand with your third eye, does it feel any different?  Give it some time....does it feel warm?  Is it tingling? do you have pins and needles?  do you feel a coolness?   Once you are able to establish any sensations ask this feeling what it means?  Talk to Bridget.....ask her what she likes......if she needs anything for her birth?  Just make contact whatever you feel or want to say or ask.  

What I'm hoping you may be able to identify is a stronger communication avenue.  Pregnant women do it all the time they just mix up what they are feeling to what their baby is feeling and the babies personality.  I'd love to hear if you get any results with it.  

Oh while I'm thinking of it everyones higher self gives permission for Reiki to be given to them.  So if you were giving Reiki to someone who didnt want it it wouldn't go through anyway.  If you use it more and more it becomes easier to feel when someone is sucking it in or playing with it gently.  I have found such a HUGE difference in giving Reiki to someone who is well and using it for relaxation and giving Reiki to a client who is dying.  My hands heat up and I feel it being pulled out of my palms.

You go through scanning and distance healing in Reiki two and thats when all the good stuff comes up!

Oh gosh I think I've written a book above.....hmmmmm..sorry
