Hmmm.
I was kind of excited, thinking I was finally tuning in to seeing a little hint of an aura when looking at people. I've been practicing every day, relaxing my gaze, looking slightly above the head of people, and each time it looks about the same, no matter who I'm looking at. Like a little white or clear-ish outline of their head or whatever body part I'm staring at that way.

Today I tested myself. I failed.

What I mean is, I did the same kind of relaxed, slightly out of focus directed stare, but this time I was looking at a chair. Guess what. The chair has the same "aura" I've been seeing as the ones on the people. It's not an aura. It's an out of focus fuzzy outline.

I'm not seeing what I thought I was seeing.

Well, that was a disappointment.

On the brighter side (ha ha ha), last night before bed I did Reiki on my eyes and third eye chakra, and for the first time I saw colors swirling around, really vivid, pretty colors. Pink, yellow, purple, orange. It was very cool. I wasn't pressing or anything. It was real. I'm taking comfort in that for a while.

And, about my hands tingling all day yesterday....my RMT said it means that my energy is shifting. As in developing to a new level of awareness. Okay. I hope so. Someone on a message board said it meant that I needed to unblock myself somewhere, and the tingling was a signal. Could be, I don't know. In any case, they've stopped and they're now back to tingling at Reiki times.

I could use some advice on what I should do to tune in to seeing auras for real. I'm learning that it's more than being out of focus and trying to tune in to the energy. Maybe this isn't my ability to develop. But I don't think I'm ready to give up. I just want to try other things that might work better. And, I keep consoling myself that I will be taking level III on Feb. 29 and so maybe that will help. I know it will have an effect, and I'm excited to find out in what ways it will strenghten and tune my senses to energy work.

Good thoughts.

It's strange, but all day long my hands have been in a continuous state of tingle. I don't know why, can't explain it. I did send Reiki last night, and a little this morning, and my aunt came over, and I gave her a whole discourse on what Reiki is, and my experiences with it so far. She was weirded out for a while, and then agreed to let me give her a little hands-on treatment so she could experience the way Reiki feels.

She felt nothing. My hands tingled like mad, and she felt absolutely nothing, save the light pressure of my "slightly warm" (her description) hands. Ok.

Then my 8-year old daughter came home from school. She is the one attuned to Reiki II as I am. So we both gave my aunt Reiki at the same time - my daughter at her head, me at her feet. (My aunt was laying on the couch). My daughter and I talked about the tingles we felt. My aunt felt nothing. Ok.

So, some people are not so sensitive to energy. Good reminder. I have so many experiences with people feeling energy I send, and me feeling energy sent to me, that it's easy to forget that Reiki isn't real to everyone. Which isn't to say that it isn't REAL; I know it is. Just that it isn't real to them in the sense that they don't experience it the way that I do, and the way that others do. Everyone's different.

Tonight I was teaching, and there was a special all-school program. I sat with the students, while a man spoke to the students. I practiced trying to see his aura. I really think I could at times see a little shimmer around his head, sometimes taller, and sometimes closer to his head. It was mostly clear, maybe a little white, very translucent, and I thought a couple of times that I saw a glimpse of blue. He moved around a lot.

I don't know what the colors mean, and I know I need to do some reading on it. If I could see an entire aura clearly, with colors swirling all through it, I wouldn't know enough to get information from that vision. Unless there were obviously black or dark spots in it, which I would recognize as being areas that are negative or blocked. But red, gold, blue, green....I wouldn't know much about how to interpret that. I know the colors of the various chakras. But if the colors in the aura weren't lined up the same way, I wouldn't know what that means at this point. I suppose the ability to see the colors more could increase with my learning more about the meaning of the colors - that would make sense. My stepping forward, my sensitivity stepping forward at the right time. Guess I'll have to wait and see if it works that way for me. A new friend recommended a book ...What Color Is Your Aura? by Barbara Bower, Ph.D. I'll have to check it out.

And, I had a serendipitous experience today! I was suddenly thinking of a very good friend who I hadn't heard from in a long time - too long. I sent her a quick email to ask her how she is doing. My last two emails and last two phone calls went unreturned over the last 3-4 months. Less than 5 minutes from the time I sent her the email, she responded saying she had just been literally about to call me. It was very cool. One of my friends with Reiki said that the more she works with the energy, the more these kind of intuitive experiences happen to her. Maybe it's working for me now too! Well, anyway, I loved it.

And, finally, another very cool experience to share: Yesterday morning, I was hanging with my girls while they got dressed for school. And literally in mid-sentence, my 8-year old said, "Why do I feel as if someone is sending me Reiki right now?" I paused and tuned in, and my hands were tingly, my stomach was warm. Yep. "Me too," I said. I remembered that one of my Reiki friends said that she sometimes sends Reiki to my family in the mornings. So I emailed and asked her if she had, and she replied with a very excited "YES!!" Loved that.

Super high energy today, I guess (re:constant tingling). Maybe this is where I'm headed. Maybe I'm moving to a higher level of awareness, a little bit at a time. I'm ready.

Peace & Gratitude.

I had an interesting experience (funny how I always seem to be having interesting experiences with Reiki!!) the last few nights. I sent energy to a nice person who has been here visiting my blog, and requested Reiki. His feedback afterward indicated that he had seen white light behind his eyes during the time I sent him the Reiki. So we tried it again a few nights later, and he had the same experience, and remarked that those two times were the only times he had ever had such an experience. It was also the first time for me that someone I had sent distance Reiki had ever "seen" the energy inside his or her awareness. I am so grateful to him for letting me know what he felt.

Before I sent him Reiki the second time, I felt that I needed some Reiki, so I spent a few minutes giving myself Reiki. As I was doing so, I had a strange sensation that was new. I felt as if my third eye chakra was opening up, like a window. My forehead tingled, and even more, felt like...gee, it's hard to describe, but it just felt like it was opening, like a lens from a camera that opens at the push of a button. It was different.

I've been concentrating on attempting to see energy. While I send Reiki, I look at my hands, slightly relaxed focus, looking above and beyond them. Often, I see some shimmer around them, whether translucent, or a little bluish, and it subsides when my focus changes or I blink. I've also been trying to see auras around people. I was told to relax focus and look slightly above the head of the person whose aura I'm trying to see. Today I did this while looking at the rabbi of my synagogue, because I was teaching Sunday School, and the students were all in the sanctuary for a morning service. We were supposed to be looking at the rabbi anyway, so I figured this was as good a time as any to practice. I really felt as if I saw a shimmer around her - not really a color - more see-thru, but it reminded me of looking above a grill when it's really hot. That kind of shimmer. I might've also caught a glimpse of orange, but it could've been the wood behind her shimmering through the aura (if that's what I was seeing).

I was holding my eyes slightly out of focus, (but was wearing my glasses), and so that could account for what looked like it might have been an aura. Or, maybe I'm starting to develop this awareness of energy.

I plan to keep trying.

Also, this afternoon I was very tired, so I rested for a short while. As I did, I felt a little tingly, as if someone was sending me Reiki. I know my Sunday Share group has me on their list, so it very well could've been from one of them. Also, for the first time, I saw a color behind my eyes, suddenly. It was hot pink. Don't know if that has meaning, but it was different for me.

I also have been thinking that I would like to communicate with a Reiki guide. Sometimes I ask questions inside my head when I'm sending distance Reiki, and I feel an answer. I don't ask big ones. I don't even remember what I asked last time. But I wonder, is a Reiki guide with you all the time, or only when sending Reiki? Is this a presence that's only able to communicate while doing Reiki, or anytime? Is this a guardian angel? Is this just my consciousness? I sometimes feel a little lonely about Reiki, because I'm alone when I channel energy, sitting in my living room. I don't have the opportunity to do much hands-on Reiki, so most of the time, I'm alone. It might be nice to feel like someone is with me as support when I'm doing this.

My RMT believes, and always has, in angels. I've never experienced one, so I reserve my judgement, as usual, for something to which I can personally relate. I don't have blind faith - I need to experience something to know it's real. I have said that many times in this blog - it's part of who I am.

It also is the reason I know Reiki is real. I feel tangible evidence, and the people I send Reiki to feel it and benefit from it. When I experience something, I know it's real, and I can talk about it with confidence to others. I know I still have lots to learn, and I enjoy reading what others write about their experiences with Reiki.

I love Reiki.

Peace.
