How to get the right answer to any question.

Let’s have something a bit more positive today. Mind you, sometimes a bit of spleen venting is not a bad thing.

Here is something you probably already know: There is a really great way of getting the answer to a question. It doesn’t matter what it is, just something that you need to get right.

Ask the question three times and if it is an important question write the answers down. If you can't be bothered to write the answers down, it can’t be that important.

First ask it of your Mind. Think it out and write down two columns, “For and Against”. Complete the list and put to one side.

Next ask it of your Heart, really ask "what should I do about…?" Get the feel of it, what feels right and what feels wrong. Write this all down too. Have a look at both lists. Anything the same?

Having exhausted all of the physical, mental and emotional resources you have in your arsenal, sit quietly for a moment, and then ask the question of your Higher Self (for lack of a better word.) Just ask it of that bit of you that is connected to everything. Don't write anything down. Now comes the hard bit ... Let Go!... Give it up and trust. The answer is there. All you have to do is hear it. If you try, you won't.

Over the next couples of days the answer will be presented to you.

Now, you have three answers to your question. The choice of which to take is yours. I know which I trust for big jobs!

Just a word of warning and this may sound patronising but I don't mean it to be. You have all the equipment to handle the day to day running of your life. Use the tools suitable for that; your wonderful brain, your experience, your feelings, these are the right tools for the job. It is all too easy to get so involved with the other things that you use them for jobs they are not needed for. I once knew a lady who was so involved with dowsing that she would not make even the simplest decision without the use of her pendulum. Rather then helping her, it was making her life hell.

End of sermon... I beg your forgiveness! He, he, he!

More information on this in my book …Reiki in Times of Crisis… And much more!!!!!! Go on, spoil yourself.

It’s All Pants!

Sorry about my rant of the other day, but sometimes I feel we are living in a world that has lost its way. We create piles of rubbish then spend money and energy recycling it! This then, is promoted as a good thing! A few people make a great deal of money, politicians get great sound bites and we pay. Surly if we didn’t create the rubbish in the first place, it would be better! Don’t recycle, rethink.

We buy new when something is broken because it is cheaper. What happened to repair? Plastic bags are made to degrade but we still have to get rid of them before they do. Electrical goods are disposable and have a built in life expectancy and new cars are made to do things they never will do.

All this new stuff, better stuff, easer stuff does not seem to give us any more time or make us happier. It creates an illusion that we are doing well and to continue to do so we need more of the same. If we are not careful we are suckered into a cycle of dependency and debt. Ever wondered about this money fiasco? I know you have. What’s real about that except the pain?

If you look at it all closely, you see it for what it is; a control system.

We are being controlled.

What do we really need to feel happy and be well?

We need to take back control!

There, I’ve done it once more! Ranting Roger Rides Again!!!!!

Just letting off steam.

Now I know I am a grumpy old fart.....but is it me??? According to Yahoo, see this link http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20100322/tuk-seaweed-bread-key-to-obesity-6323e80.html

seaweed is the stuff to eat so we can continue to eat all the fatty, unhealthy junk food and still not get fat. Sell the junk food that make you ill...sell you the drugs that keep you going a little bit longer when you are ill... Sell you stuff that keeps you looking not too bad so you can continue to eat the junk food that makes you ill... so that they can sell you the drugs........|Create the problem, then sell the cure.

I need to lay my head down!!

Spaghetti Control Alert!

Just a quick one. I had a flash of insight yesterday regarding how susceptible to control we all are.

When I was young we had proper spaghetti, long and with hooks on it. If you remember the Spaghetti Harvest you know what I mean. ... I like long spaghetti, it wraps around your fork nicely. If it was too long for your pot you broke it in half. Now all you get is the short stuff. It is more convenient we are told, saves braking it in half. It's pot sized! But I like long spaghetti and it's now hard to find and when you do, it is expensive so I make do.... Then the other day I was walking around the supermarket and it dawned on me. Short spaghetti has nothing to do with my convenience or it fitting into my pot. The thing it fits into is Supermarket Shelves. It is just the right size to stack across a shelf, a supermarket shelf. Why do we let them do this to us?

Reiki Dangers - Part 3

Reiki, first and foremost, is safe. The person receiving a treatment is the one who regulates the flow of Reiki. It goes where it is needed, not by some magical intelligence but because there is a need.

Life is constantly striving for balance. This is why you should not try to force a treatment, to make it happen. All we do is facilitate the healing situation. It is when we try to control, to make things happen, to be powerful, that things can go wrong. Believe me, they can and anyone who has worked with Reiki a great deal will have come across those whose life has not been improved by this wonderful practice.

There are three basic energy sources that we as physical beings use.

First, there is the energy we are born with. This energy is finite and it is used up during our lives. It depletes slowly but there is more than enough to last a life time. We can deplete it faster, but we can't add to it.

Secondly there is the energy we get from food and drink. The energy we get from these is obvious...don't eat or drink and you die. "Simples".

Thirdly there is a rather mystical energy which we get from .... we just seem to get it from the ether. It flows through us and is rather elusive to quantify but evidently it makes up that bit we need but don't get from food and drink.

I am not going into the details of the last two because they are: on the one hand, as I have said before,obvious and, on the other, I know only that what I know!! And that is not enough to expound upon. It is the first I would like to talk about.

When we give a Reiki treatment we allow the Reiki to be drawn through us, we do not give it.

The attunements free this flow and allow us to recognise it. If we try to force the situation we are in very real danger of using our core energy. Do it enough and you weaken yourself. If we allow Reiki to flow through us we pass on a pure energy without our hang-ups and what ever; we cannot pick up the other person's problems and troubles. Use your own energy and there is free flow between persons with no safety. Who benefits from that?

If you don't believe me, we have all had friends who come around to our homes with a problem, when they leave they say "I always feel so much better when I speak to you " and off they bounce. You, on the other hand, are knackered, drained. Know what I mean? Well, now you have Reiki let them take that. The source is inexhaustible.

Be aware of this and all is fine. There is nothing that will happen overnight. But do you really want to lay your trips on someone else? Or take on theirs?

Danger in Reiki. 2

Reiki is simple and because of that it is easy to think that it is not really very effective. But it is and much more than we can understand. A seemingly trivial act can change the course of world history. A misplaced word or action, especially in a time of crisis can upset the balance of health and well-being of a person. We never know the results of our actions in full. Intention, the great excuse of mistakes, is important but the bullet that drives a hole through someone's brain kills them just as well even if your intention was to miss.

When we give Reiki, we give Reiki for the best outcome, not for a specific result; we don't know the full picture ... See my earlier posting on Beethoven.

So the first danger of Reiki is trying to force a result. You can make things happen in the way you feel they should. But are you confident enough that you can see what is right? Give your treatment without judgement, without trying. Let that part of us that is part of whatever there is, sort it out. Offer it up.

I have had people come to me really worried because someone who gave them a treatment told them that there was something wrong with their heart chakra. To them it meant something wrong with their heart.

"Oh God! I only went in to relax. Now I have this to worry about!"

One lady told me that she had been informed by a Reiki Master (oh I do dislike that term) that she had a black demon on her shoulder and it was due to her past life and her Reiki master had to wrestle it off.

So the second danger is frightening people. We don't diagnose (we don't know). We don't lay our trip on others. We just give treatments. Then let go.

We live in an illusionary world of our own creation. We don't need other's stuff to confuse us even more.

Next Blog we will look at something serious. That can really damage your health, as they say on the packet ... YOU need to know.

Danger in Reiki..Yes

Now, you might not like this, or agree with it, but I can only tell you what I have seen working with Reiki and other forms of Healing (I use the term healing with care and will do a blogg on it later)

Reiki is safe. In fact Reiki is Reiki and as such is neither safe nor unsafe but that is another matter and I am being pedantic. But when you mix it with other things and have no real understanding of what you are doing, well... who knows. If you then teach others to do the same...

I have had quite a few people in my clinic more than a little messed up by receiving unskillfull attunements and treatments. Over the next couple of bloggs I will explain what I have seen and what I feel, then judge for yourself... This is not going to be a rant about the form of Reiki I practice. There is no right way of practicing Reiki. Many good systems exist, but there are harmful ways...I mean harmful.

Asparagus and cancer?

Hi there... Had this sent to me yesterday...I know nothing about it. This is how it came to me via my email.

OK. The REASON that asparagus works is because it is highly alkaline. Cancer cannot live in an alkaline environment. Asparagus changed the environment in these folks, so the cancer ebbed into nothing. Watermelon is also highly alkaline, but must be eaten all alone at least 2 hours away from anything else for it to start flushing out the cancer action; but you don't hear anything about it either. Parsley is yet another quiet champion, but usually gets discarded as a garnish. I had to learn about this because of other difficulties, but apparently word is getting out at last. American diet is too acid. Theodore Baroody wrote the book, Alkalize or Die, is a start on this.

ASPARAGUS

"My Mom had been taking the full-stalk canned-style asparagus that she pureed, and she took 4 tablespoons in the morning and 4 tablespoons later in the day. She did this for over a month. She is on chemo pills for Stage 3 lung cancer in the pleural area, and her cancer cell count went from 386 down to 125 as of this past week. Her oncologist said she does not need to see him for 3 months."

THE ARTICLE:

Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus for a friend who had cancer. He gave me a photocopied copy of an article, entitled, 'Asparagus for cancer', printed in Cancer News Journal. I will share it here, just as it was shared with me:

'I am a biochemist, and have specialized in the relation of diet to health for over 50 years...Several years ago, I learned of the discovery of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S., that asparagus might cure cancer. Since then, I have worked with him on his project. We have accumulated a number of favorable case histories.

Here are a few examples:

Case No. 1,

A man with an almost hopeless case of Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymph glands) who was completely incapacitated.

Within 1 year of starting the asparagus therapy, his doctors were unable to detect any signs of cancer, and he was back on a schedule of strenuous exercise..

Case No. 2,

A successful businessman, 68 years old, who suffered from cancer of the bladder for 16 years. After years of medical treatments, including radiation without improvement, he went on asparagus.

Within 3 months, examinations revealed that his bladder tumor had disappeared and that his kidneys were normal.

Case No. 3,

A man who had lung cancer. On March 5th, he was put on the operating table where they found lung cancer so widely spread that it was inoperable. The surgeon sewed him up and declared his case hopeless. On April 5th he heard about the asparagus therapy and immediately started taking it.

By August, x-ray pictures revealed that all signs of the cancer had disappeared... He is back at his regular business routine.

Case No. 4,

A woman who was troubled for a number of years with skin cancer. She finally developed different skin cancers which were diagnosed, by asking a specialist, as advanced. Within 3 months after starting on asparagus, her skin specialist said that her skin looked fine, and no more skin lesions.

This woman reported that the asparagus therapy also cured her kidney disease, which started in 1949. She had over 10 operations for kidney stones, and was receiving government disability payments for an inoperable, terminal, kidney condition.

She attributes the cure of this kidney trouble entirely to the asparagus.

I was not surprised at this result, as `The Elements of Materia Medica', edited in 1854 by a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania , stated that asparagus was used as a popular remedy for kidney stones. He even referred to experiments, in 1739, on the power of asparagus in dissolving stones.

We would have other case histories but the medical establishment has interfered with our obtaining some of the records. I am therefore appealing to readers to spread this good news and help us to gather a large number of case histories that will overwhelm the medical skeptics about this unbelievably simple and natural remedy.

For the treatment, asparagus should be cooked before using, and therefore canned asparagus is just as good as fresh. I have corresponded with the two leading canners of asparagus, Green Giant and Stokely, and I am satisfied that these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives.

Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree, and store in the refrigerator.

Give the patient 4 full tablespoons twice daily, morning and evening.

Patients usually show some improvement in from 2-4 weeks. It can be diluted with water and used as a cold or hot drink.

This suggested dosage is based on present experience, but certainly larger amounts can do no harm and may be needed in some cases.

As a biochemist I am convinced of the old saying that `what cures can prevent'. Based on this theory, my wife and I have been using asparagus puree as a beverage with our meals. We take 2 tablespoons diluted in water to suit our taste with breakfast and with dinner. I take mine hot and my wife prefers hers cold. For years we have made it a practice to have blood surveys taken as part of our regular checkups...

The last blood survey, taken by a medical doctor who specializes in the nutritional approach to health, showed substantial improvements in all categories over the last one, and we can attribute these improvements to nothing but the asparagus drink...

As a biochemist, I have made an extensive study of all aspects of cancer, and all of the proposed cures. As a result, I am convinced that asparagus fits in better with the latest theories about cancer. Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called histones, which are believed to be active in controlling cell growth. For that reason, I believe asparagus can be said to contain a substance that I call cell-growth normalizer. That accounts for its action on cancer and in acting as a general body tonic.

In any event, regardless of theory, asparagus used as we suggest is a harmless substance. The FDA cannot prevent you from using it and it may do you much good..

It has been reported by the U.S. National Cancer Institute that asparagus is the highest-tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the body's most potent anti-carcinogens and anti-oxidants.

There is no such thing as Reiki,

It is only when we allow ourselves to see that there is no such thing as Reiki that we can start to benifit from it.
This seems a strange thing to say coming from a person who spends his life teaching and using Reiki. The above statement is of course untrue, we can benifit from reiki even before we understand that there is no such thing .
Now you might justifiably think that I am losing my marbles, (but this is not the case, I know where my marbles are - they are in the same place as my yoyo) or just playing with words and this is of course true, but words created the confusion in the first place.

As soon as we start using the word Reiki we start to think of it as something, a power, an energy, something seperate from us that it is there for us to use, to channel, to be powerful with. Reiki is a word, nothing more, nothing less. It is a Japanese word that can mean Universal Life Energy. I have also heard that Reiki can connect us to this universal energy. More words that confuse and deflect us into the trap of duality.

We are a part of this universe, not apart from it... another glib saying, but this time nearer the truth. We don't have to be connected to it, we are it! All we need to do is recognise it by moving the blinkers that bind us. Yes, that was meant to be bind.

Whatever system we use should be towards that aim. If it builds up our ego in order to promote a feeling of them and me it is not helpful. If it allows us to increase our awarness maybe it is a little more useful. Remember even our ego has a place in the universe... be aware of it.

Talking about Reiki is fun and anyone who knows me, knows how much I do of it ... but in the long run it is pointless because words only help limit.

Reiki... Just do it.

Red Warning Light

You are driving along in your car, happy as the day is long, when all of a sudden on pops that little red light on your dash board. It is your oil warning light. Now, there are two ways you can deal with this intrusion:

1. Is to cut the wire leading to the light. It goes out and on you go unaffected by that annoying little light...Troubles is, now things will get worse until the car finally comes to a full stop and a big bill has to be faced.

Or, 2. You can put some oil in the car and find out why it is using up oil. Is it just that you have forgotten to top up the oil or is it that you have a leak. Find out and you can stop a major problem occuring. So the Red light is your friend not a nuisance.

If this is so with the car, and everyone would agree it would be silly just to cut the cable, why when we have a headache do we take a tablet and think that it will cure the headache rather than just hide it? Things like headaches indicate that something is out of balance. Now, that might be just that you have been overdoing it, or that you need new glasses, or something else.

Be grateful that the little red light is there in your body.

Question...

If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who already had eight kids, three were deaf, two were blind and one mentally retarded and she also had Syphilis.

Would you recommend that this woman have an abortion?

If so, like me, you would have killed Beethoven.
