REIKI DOES NOT HAVE A CONSCIOUSNESS that draws distinctions of any kind, on any level, for any reason. Reiki, like water, is unconditional love.

What is Love? It is everything; the All. Which means WE define it. That is the true meaning of Free Will. We live in a world where everything has been defined for us before we are born. But, Reiki, as unconditional QE/ KI/ CHI/ X, whatever, is whatever we say it is. Nothing less and nothing more.

The ramifications of this true gift is that we can take and use it for dark intention and it works. Would that, could that, be potentially harmful? Yes, if you define harm as stomach ache, headache, irritability, bone disease, energy blocks, etc. Is it possible that Reiki can manifest these things? I believe so. Does water quench thirst, grow flowers, feed mother earth, envelope us in a lavander bath, and kill people in New Orleans? Yes, it does what it is told to do.

Pray over water with loving intent and loving effect blows out the other end.. Pray over the water with ill intent and ill effect blows out the other end.. This research has been done and it is consensus science for the most part. It's not yet whole, but it's documented and millions of dollars are invested as we speak to continue with the research into how energy behaves; how it can further be controlled, and even destroyed... as in the Large Hadron Collider.

Reiki can do harm, and that is good news. How? Because then you KNOW what it truly is. Reiki is the center of creation so that it can be of the highest good for all living things. A unconditional gift of the highest order. If it were made only of love - available only to love for only love's intention, it would be useless to us, because it would deny our whole Self. We are not just love. We are the ALL. That is the most important info it offers. Reiki is not like a warehouse where the Reiki Angels toss the rejects and send only the perfect items through. Reiki is the water of all creation. Nothing is rejected.

Treatment is wholeness. Reiki is integration that includes all parts of ourselves - and does not point to darkness and record it as wrong, bad, painful, lazy, stupid, etc. It doesn't point at all. It simply IS. A shower of whatever it is you truly want. That is all.

If you truly want to be free of pain, Reiki is the shower that includes all energy affiliated with it, which is so huge, it is unfathomable, as it includes past present future, and all of creation. In fact, everything in creation is affiliated with everything else.

As I said, in all the years I have been doing Self Reiki, I have never once had a detox that was painful - as far as I can tell. My only pain and suffering is when I forgot what I wanted. However, if I surrender my Reiki attunement to another individual, especially online, or from a stranger, who does not have my best inte rest at heart, then I may very well have a painful reaction to it.

Reiki can do harm in the wrong hands. There are hands out there who wish to do harm. Harmful hands on your crown chakra giving Reiki and/or attunements, brings harm. It's proven. It's not up for debate, unless you are in denial of a boat load of scientific research on the mechanics of energy. The reason it's good news is because we understand the nature of balance and how energy is always responding to what we think, say and do. Which is often in conflict with each other, and that is where we get into a pickle.

As well, the unseen realms of purity are present. They can and do activate what we would call miracles, but it is still the manipulation of energy, on a different level. These beings, holding a pure vibration of knowing, and a centered fluid concept of you and I - have come to own the power of energy work. We are working our way in that direction. Or better yet, we are remembering what we lost at some point.

The whole concept of LOVE vs. HATE is manufactured to control us. It isn't true. There is only intention and what becomes of it. How it feels to us. A judgment on it - in truth - makes it real in ways we do not want. What we want is to feel good, on all levels. That would require a seat at the center of creation. Earth space and time is a Bipolar construct. We are taught early on to stay away from the darkness and go to the light. Fact is, we are fed darkness each and every day by the same people who teach us to resist it.

It is true insanity. We are conditioned to be Bipolar. The cure is integration without fear. The cure is the center: an understanding that we are made up of negative and positive and it's alright that we are.

While we are learning more and more, we truly do not yet understand how energy truly works on all levels as a human species. The reason that could be harmful is because when we surrender our energy to those who do not love us, we are at risk of losing ourselves. If that feels good and we believe someone else holds the keys to our Universe, then we will party on with that.

I will save my thoughts about energy protection for another time. It's quite relevant to this topic however. I will just say this: If it's me, I am never doing conscious energy work on myself, or others without inviting my guides to join me, protect me, and partner with me. It can make all the difference in outcome.
