Oh dear, I fell for spam yesterday.
Received an email from website the-insight.com asking if they could put a link on their site to mine. Under the health/reiki category. Hmmm. How my website could help anyone with their health beats me. And I certainly don't think it provokes a rigorous session of reiki. Maybe it would be a nice distraction from health worries. Or maybe they can read about my Crohn's Disease and feel thankful they don't have that. Hmmm. Still, I thought any increase in readership would be a benefit. But it's spam. I suck.
I don't think I've ever even mentioned Reiki - which is odd, because my Momo does Reiki. For those of you in the dark, Reiki's basically human healing. A master of reiki would put there hands near areas of pain, and a kind of heat emerges which relaxes and apparently heals. Now then. I've been a guinea-pig for this with my Momo before, and to be honest I don't tend to like it cause it freaks me out. There's definitely heat, but it does make you feel weird, and it's kind of invasive, but that's probably because I don't always express myself very well and like to keep things locked away in a neat little bubble somewhere. I can be quite solitary and private, which not a lot of people know about me. So feeling like someone's getting access to you, even just in terms of energy, is a littl unnerving for me. So I don't like it. But there's something to it.
I'm sure there are many sceptics out there, akin to my Grandpopo who thinks it's ridiculous. He demonstrates this by pressing his hand against you and going "Look! That's warm, isn't it? Nothing special in that! My hand's warm too". His hand is actually mostly wrinkled, but you get his point. We all produce a kind of heat from our hands, which is why anyone anywhere can do reiki - it's how you use the heat and energy, how you focus it.
There's a definite difference, particularly because I can always tell when Momo is doing it. I can be sitting in front of her watching TV and she'll try and sneak one past me, but I can tell straight away when she's doing it. So she gets a quick tap, and then stops. So there's something in it. Just don't ask me what.
There's something known as Kirlian Photography - something no doubt Cheesy has banged on about at some time or other, and I'm basing my knowledge on discussions with him, so i expect to be corrected in the talk backs. Anyway, Kirlian Photography takes a picture of what could be described as your aura. Anything living has one, including plants - a little titbit for those moral vegetarians out there who think plants deserve to be butchered - ha ha! There are photos taken of a leaf as it dies, and the aura around it gets less as it dies. Oddly as well, pictures of arthritis shows black spots, as if the energy on those areas has died. All very interesting and cool in my opinion. Perhaps auras explain something of Reiki though - maybe, if this aura does exist, there is a way to use it. Perhaps even to heal by providing extra aura energy to places of ill health.
The aura is definitely something though - you think about people who you touch, who you are comfortable touching. Some people's auras match, some repel eachother. I'm generally someone who likes hugging, but there are some people I just can't hug comfortably. It's not that I don't like them, but something doesn't seem right about it. Whereas some people I love to hug. With our partners you want to be near them all the time - and not always in a sexy way. I find nothing more comforting than cuddling up to Babol watching TV - very at ease and extremely comfortable. I think it's one of the nicest feelings I've ever had. I suppose you could put it down to familiarity. I dunno. All postulation really.
