Your Practitioner will ask you to give some idea about your problem (the detail is not necesary). Reiki can be channelled through the Aura so strictly speaking there is no need for the Practitioner to touch you. However, it can usually assist in the
attunement
process if she/he places the hands lightly on your shoulders. Many patients prefer to be touched lightly on other parts of the body i.e. arms/back/feet/ankles and hands. Your Pratitioner will ask you for your preference. Visitors' Questions during December 2001

nature please see the Consultations Page
Spiritual progress and its difficulties was one theme which Hai focussed
upon this month
Hai:
We cannot take progress for granted. We cannot accept that it will just merely happen. We must
make it happen. We must apply ourselves and our leaders must apply themselves. Q:
Do people keep making the same mistakes because they don't stay in the spirit world long
enough before coming back or would they still make their mistakes anyway?
Hai:
The wisest soul is put to the test when they return to the earthly
planes.
Q:
Could you expand on that please?
Hai:
You know that there have many saintly men who have started out right
but have slipped back. We cannot take things for granted. In the heart of
the greatest saint there is the heart of a sinner. In the heart of the
sinner is the heart of the greatest saint.
Q:
How does all this learning equate with the One Mind?
Hai:
- Fee for exploratory meeting to discuss issues and set goals (up to two hours): £50
our interpretation
of the One Mind's
purpose and the One Mind's love.
Q:
So if every person on earth was able to do this what would there be?
Hai:
Harmony would prevail. Great love would prevail. Security without question would prevail.
Q:
Would people still have to come to the earth plane to learn?
Hai:
So far as souls in the spirit lands would need the earthly
experience then also they would have to manifest this expression of the One
Mind, to manifest the harmony amongst the peoples of the world. The road may
seem a long road but you have heard the saying which I have made before which
is "the journey of a thousand miles is started with the first footstep and as
footstep follows footstep we are assured of the end of our journey"
Q:
Are you still on your journey?
Hai:
We are all still on our journey.
Q:
So do you still have plenty to learn and are still evolving?
Hai:
We have all got things to learn, myself included. Q:
Is there any end to the learning and the education or is it
infinite like the universe?
Hai:
There is no end to the journey. There is identity with the One
Mind. There is the return Home. There is the knowledge of who we are. But
the expression of who we are involves a never ending journey, an exciting
journey. A journey of constant discovery. Q:
If I was an evolved soul and knew that I could make a mistake
by coming back to earth and maybe be set back I think I would want to quit
while I was winning.
Hai:
(with amusement) You are not gambling and you can cash your
chips in! No, this does not work like this. You know, great gains, great
advances must be won with great chances. We must be prepared to take risks,
to take chances, to learn to move forward, to grow, to develop. If we do
not take chances we do not grow, we do not develop. We make mistakes along
our way, but no one should blame us for this. For if we make these mistakes
in good heart, honest heart, what more can people ask of us? We will make
mistakes and we must put up with those mistakes, recognise them and put up
with them and acknowledge they are part of our growth. We should not
reprimand ourselves too severely for them, for all make mistakes. Some are
more conscious of their mistakes than others, but all make mistakes. Question of the Month
There was some discussion about people whom many have regarded as saintly,
but have been found to commit acts of great immorality.
Q:
It worries me that you could find yourself doing that when you are
a wise soul.
Hai:
Wise without wisdom. Q:
Would he not necessarily have wisdom if he was wise?
Hai:
You have answered your own question. You walk up the hill and
you step on some mud and you slip backwards. Having been up the hill is no
avail to you. Having seen the sights on the top of the hill is no avail to
you when you have slipped back on the mud slide to the half way point. Karma,
the debt of karma is greater for this, of course, for you have seen the
vision at the summit; you have seen the view, the landscape, from the summit,
but have slipped back. Q:
I suppose it's one thing to reach the pinnicle, but it's
another to maintain yourself at that level. It's probably a very difficult
thing to do.
Hai:
The Zen masters say when you have had the enlightenment
experience the work begins. There are those who have the enlightenment
experience and that's all it is, an experience which is forgotten in the
mists of time eventually. There are those who have the experience and apply
themselves for a short time after to try to integrate the experience into
their lives. There are those who have the experience and apply themselves
with rigour to integrate the experience into their lives and manifest the
Heart which they have seen. But it is work to do this. We must apply
ourselves in patience endurance and compassion. Q:
Did you opt for the last option when you had the experience?
Hai:
I endeavoured to opt for the last form of expression. Q:
Do you think you were successful or did you slip in the mud?
Hai:
We all slip in the mud, but there are mud patches and there are mountains of mud. Q:
Why are you smiling when you say that to me Hai
Hai:
We do well if we can just restrict our slipping to slipping on
the patches of mud, little slip which may be rectified more easily than slipping on the mountain of mud.
