In less then 24 hours well have a new community hang-out. Will i see you there? Check the calendar for the link

Hope to see you there (join via calendar! 📆) A beautiful way to end the weekend and get ready for the week ahead! ✨ Check-out this video from @Jurek van Duyvenvoorde for more information! (this is also your reminder to not have a big meal anymore 😜)

What is healing, and how do we get sick in the first place? Yesterday in the hang-out we were speaking about healing. How YOU are the only one who can heal yourself. And the healer solely holds the space to heal. We don't fix others. Fully trusting in the self-healing capacities of the body! That's taking responsibility! And at the same time, as a healer, it's giving lots of clarity on our role. In the Reiki 1 course @Justin Peach explains how we tend to avoid feelings.. Habits that can lead to stagnant energy/ sickness. Very recognisable (yes, maybe I felt a bit called out 🤓) and very human. It can feel pretty comforting losing yourself in social media or a good movie. Losing awareness, not breathing deeply. It takes work to allow energy to flow! Personally I do think there's a time and a place for everything and this does not have to be constant, just giving myself some slack here.. (what do you think?) So I'm curious, what are your ways of not-feeling? And how do you ensure you go back to consciousness?

In Reiki practice, we are taught to always respect free will and obtain explicit consent before offering healing. But what happens when someone is unconscious, resistant, or unaware of Reiki’s benefits? Some Reiki traditions believe that in such cases, we can ask the recipient’s higher self for permission to send healing energy. This approach is often found in Angelic Reiki, Shamanic Reiki, and Esoteric traditions, where the belief is that the higher self always knows what is best for the individual. However, traditional Usui Reiki and professional organizations (such as IARP, UK Reiki Federation) emphasize that healing should only be given with direct physical consent, arguing that: 🔹 Respect for free will is a fundamental principle. 🔹 The practitioner’s perception of the higher self may not always be accurate. 🔹 Reiki should never be imposed, even with good intentions. ✨ What do you think? Should Reiki practitioners seek approval from the higher self when physical consent isn’t possible? Or should we always honor the person’s conscious decision? Let’s discuss! 🌀💬

So yesterday during the hang-out, i brought up something that came to my mind several days before the hang-out. As we all know the universal energy comes in through the crown chakra en flows trough the heart chakra into the arms and goes out through the hands to the person that you're giving a treatment right? So in a way you could say this is some kind of closed circuit right? (sorry i am educated in electronics, i think that's why this came up to me 😂) So what if you have only one arm? Then there is no circuit. What are your thougths on this? And then the next question came up. What if somebody who lost a limb feels pain (phantom pain) would Reiki also work in this case? I am very intersted in your opinions on this.
