Some thoughts on energy. I got a forwarding of an e-mail that asked for help for someone. I get these now and then, and send healing energy. What bothers me is that these people that are sending them are missing the point. Many Reiki practitioners get requests for healing of someone that is really bad off. Many Reiki boards have lists of people that need healing. In each case, the practitioner is asked to send healing to the person/people in need.

This is what this request did. Then it made the same mistake that every one of them has made thus far. It asked for those people that have had Reiki 2 to send distant healing. At that point, they just limited the amount of healing that their “person in need” could get.

I understand that because Reiki 2 teaches distant healing, that most people think that only someone trained in Reiki 2 or above can heal someone not present. Well, that is only partially true. Only someone trained in Reiki 2 or above can send Reiki healing over a distance. But anyone can send healing energy.

As I have said to many before, anything can create energy. A thought creates energy. Good thoughts create good energy, bad thoughts create negative energy.

So consider this... A thought creates energy. A good thought creates good energy. A thought about healing creates healing energy. A thought about healing someone creates healing energy and sends it to that person. A healing thought can take many forms. It can be thinking about someone getting better. It can be just thinking happiness and health to them. It can be as simple as saying a prayer for that person to get better. (Say a prayer for me?)

I guess I’ve sounded off enough. I just ask that if you are asking for healing for yourself or someone else, please don’t limit the healing you are asking for by requesting Reiki 2 and above. Ask for any healing energies that anyone can send.
