Lol, not sure what you mean by 'playing games' I asked a simple question and got a complicated and confusing essay on a loosely linked subject.

So if you have studied the different energies of Qigong, Karuna etc, what did you think of them compared to 'reiki'?

They are all the same!

Now a question to you, Sir/Madam!

Are you really one hundred years old ;-)

[quote="rohiniranjan"]Absolutely! It is empowerment to regain the 'confidence' in taking ownership of and responsibility to discharge the healing capability that was already (if not always!) there!

It is like a child who has a huge inheritence that he can only have when he grows up to be 21, for instance. He 'had' the riches when he was 16, 18, 20, but only after 21, the moment of attunement/empowerment can he dip into the inheritence and spend it, hopefully for good :-)

Advanced souls like Master Usui need to be meditated upon and understood from within and not mechanically as is rampant in some psychic healing mindsets, who tend sometimes to cling to words and rather concretely! Great minds like Usui and Indian Sages often used concrete terms (what else is there to use) to bring to our understanding ABSTRACT REALITY. It would be a shamefully sad waste of time if we never go beyond their literal words, don't you agree ;-)

As to personal experience, I know how those discussions tend to go, so let us refrain from playing those games. And if you are not playing those, then obviously I misunderstood you and stand corrected ;-)

Perception of a given healing energy in different ways is not something new. Even without having to get into a plethora of some of the modern energy-healing modalities, many of which smack suspiciously of 'neologisms' (no reference to that term in its clinico-psychological implications, in case someone decides to take the thread of discussion in that direction...!) -- it is quite obvious that even within a single modality, perceptions and interpretations will vary. Even in Reiki (which I presume you would call ONE healing modality/energy) there are many different nuances. Now either all of these are not reiki or they are one but interpreted by different sub-schools differently!

To take a physical psychosomatic model, we all have different abilities in our sensory perceptions. Some are better seers, others hear more discriminatively, some have very developed sense of smell (maybe not quite as developed as a dog, but amongst humans!) and some are simply stated accomplished touchers ;-)

So I am not surprised that different channels (that is where our common thread lies!) perceive a given modality as different perceptions.

I realize that more individuals, who give too much empowerment to perceptions -- the perceptions begin to define the reality, and hence we come up with and convince ourselves and others that there are all these different healing modalities and even begin to get competitive about it as in Reiki is better than QiGong or Pranic healing is the highest or Karuna reiki is even higher and this childish brawl keeps going on and on, ad nauseum.

[quote="Gem"]Funny then that Usui would call the 'attunement's 'empowerments'?..

I disagree that there is only one healing modality, perhaps there is an argument for one 'source' but there are many different forms of the energy, different vibrations and different energy patterns.

Have you studied any other 'modalities' and seen the differences in the energies? And if so... which?[/quote][/quote][/quote]
