Meditation and Reiki

[devikpani]

Hi guys,yesterday i went to meet one of my friend in her house unfortunately i met her yoga master also over there he is an enlightened person i know this through my friend, v had so many discussion on meditation, i dnt want u to make u bore by saying blah blah ,let me come to the point,what he said is that that the purpose of our life is to become oneness with god this can b attained only through meditation but this doesnt happen in a single birth v have to undergo so many birth to attain this.so during this path the power what v get shouldnt b used on others though it can b but not with intentions,in case if u r practicing reiki the power what u get through meditation will come to reiki thats all it stops over there and u wont b able to procced in the path of lifes purpose.he asked me to prefere what u want to b only reiki practitioner r want to b oneness with god, im nt telling u not to practice reiki but decide which is most important for ur life. Guys what u think on this,give ur opinions on this. Love & Light, Devi. ;D

I am not really sure I understand what you mean Devi.

I dont think that Reiki has anything to do with any religion though, I believe it to be just energy. So I am not sure I agree that to be a Reiki practitioner you have to be one with God. I might be misunderstanding what you wrote though so I am not sure....

Devi,
I think there are some people out there who think there is only one right way to live, and if you don't live that way way you are wrong. I think they are wrong. I think that we all figure out what works best for us, and all of those different ways are right. Sounds like this guru has figured out what works for him, but that doesn't have to apply to everyone. What do you think about what he said? Does it work for you? I have to say that I have practiced meditation and Reiki together for a couple of years, and I feel a oneness with the Universe everyday. I learned a long time ago that there will always be people telling me how to live, but the only way to be truly happy is to decide for myself how I want to live. You are the expert on you and your life. What works best for you? I hope you trust yourself, and choose your path yourself, because I think that is the only way to be happy.

Ok, stepping down off soapbox now.

I absolutely agree, Devi. Anyone who says "this is the only way" makes me suspicious. Also, if I understood correctly, that person made it sound like you are giving something away when you perform reiki, like you are draining yourself. First, I was taught that when you "give" reiki, you are also receiving reiki! Just like LOVE, you have to "give" it for it to be of any use!

Many hugs, Lynn

I have to agree with both star and Angel. When you give love, you receive, when you give to charity, it will always come back. Reiki is not for everyone and that's ok. Everyone needs to find what they need to learn in this life and it may be something that does not include any spiritual path, I am very glad and a lot of reasons I found this path this time. Maybe everyone at some point in each life to have that opportunity knock, whether they answer it is their choice.
