What a lovely response. I will definitely tell the AAs you say hi, although they already know. How are you finding Reiki? I think it really opened something up in me to eventually channel. My hands do get hot! In fact, and this is kind of funny, when I see someone sick or hear someone coughing, etc., my hands tingle! It’s such a trip!

I was a little skeptical about distance healing at first, until it clearly affected some people I sent it to. The first time I tried was with my one of my best friends, who had a bad cold and had pain in her shoulder for months. I told her I was going to send it, and when I checked back, there was no change. Later that night, she called me back, all signs of her cold gone and no pain in her shoulder. We were both amazed. I’ve also sent Reiki to friends after surgery and gotten texts from them minutes later asking me if I’d sent it, because they felt better.

Can you feel the energy? I think what’s helped me is I concentrate and visualize the energy going into the person. When I do distance healing, I ask for a picture of the person. I can feel the Reiki in my hands and, just like when I channel the AAs, I feel a surge in my solar plexus. Not everyone gets hot hands, so don’t get discouraged. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. You can also practice on plants. Get two plants, about the same size, and use Reiki on one, otherwise caring for both identically, and I bet you’ll see faster growth in the Reiki plant. How’s that for a science experiment?!

Regarding free will and awakening, I don’t see it as a problem. To access higher guidance and develop psychically, you really need to be in a good head space, or at least that’s been my experience. When you’re at peace with yourself, you make better choices, and if you make inhumane choices, you’re not at peace. It’s kind of connected in a positive way to intent.

Enjoyed talking to you, John. I followed you earlier when I read the article, and I’ll look forward to reading more of your stuff. Love you back! ❤️😇
