Take a “vacation” everyday

Whenever you have a few spare moments during the day – between appointments, doing the daily household chores, riding the bus, duirng lunch and tea breaks – retire into your “quiet room”.

Whenever you begin to feel tension mounting, or to feel hurried or harried, when loneliness comes a-calling, when you have been hurt, – retire into your “quiet room”. Taking a few moments in this manner, especially on a busy or lousy day, will work wonders for the soul. It is not time wasted but time invested. Say to yourself, “I am going to rest a bit in my “quiet room”.

Your soul needs a room for rest, recuperation and protection every bit as much as your physical body needs a physical house for the same reasons. Your mental quiet room gives your soul a little vacation everyday. Don’t feel guilty about this vacation. Everyone of us deserves it and best of all – there is no expenses incurred!!!!!

Psychic surgery – are they for real?

by Sandie on December 12, 2010

Have any of you witnessed a live psychic surgery with bare hands?

I had the opportunity of witnessing 3 such surgeries in Manila arranged by Riza Regis, the crystal lady of the Philippines.

The “surgeon” is no other than the famed Orbitos. We were lucky to be able to catch Orbitos in town. His first patient was a Filipino lady who was residing in Australia. She returned to the Philippines to seek this alternative surgery before undergoing the real knife in Australia. We were fortunate that she granted us permission to observe this whole process.

She laid down on her back, said her prayers profusely – not knowing what to expect; then pulled her top up to her bra line, pulled her pants down to just above her panty line. Orbitos, with sleeves pulled up to this elbows, started to work on her with pure bare hands, rubbing on her belly area. In that quiet room we heard a soft pop sound and we then saw fresh red blood flowing out from her belly area. He worked on her for a minute or two, drawing out dark clotted blood from her abdomen with one or two walnut-like subtance that were dropped into the waste basket with a “thud” sound. He then ’sealed’ her up with just a swipe of his hand over the wound, wiped off the blood from her body with some wet cotton balls and up she came up from the bed, pulled her clothes decent and walked out of the surgery room.

My first fire walking experience

Reiki Mastership iat Mount Dandenong, Melbourne

Reiki Mastership iat Mount Dandenong, Melbourne

My first fire walking experience happened in Gembrook in the ranges of Mount Dandenong, Melbourne in March 1997. I was there for a 7 day power packed energy workshop which encompassed Reiki Mastership training, body works, ear candling, getting in touch with spirits, meditation, astral projection and a host of other spiritual activities which will no doubt hold a Reiki Master in very good stead.

On arrival I informed our Master that I would like to opt out for the fire walking session. He pushed me no further and instead gave me a knowing nod. On day 2, I reminded him again, again that nod. Day 3 another gentle reminder, another nod. Day 4 – That’s It!!!! Eventhough I was not about to participate in the walk, I nevertheless helped the other 32 participants to carry the logs to the pitch that has been dug about 2 feet under the ground. Fire logs were then stacked to about 4 feet above ground level thus making it about 5 feet of stacked logs. We then went for a walk in the forest while the logs were set ablazed.

The Victoria Fire Department was alerted on this activity and fire engines and their men were on standby at the ranges from morning to late afternoon. By around 4pm we gathered at the fire pit. The wind was blowing wildly. The kookaburras were laughing gaily. The walk had to be called off because of the strong wind. Then all of a sudden everything went still. The wind had stopped howling, the kookaburras decided not to mock. It was as if there was an unseen energy beckoning, urging us on. As everyone was queueing to take their walk, at that very moment I decided to “unload my baggage”. I did not want to chicken out of that moment so I very quickly stood in line as the 5th or 6th to walk.

As I stood in front of the bed of burning embers, the blazing heat on my face was enough to make me step back but I stood my ground. I took 3 deep breaths and my foot took the first step forward and before I knew it, it was over what seemed like seconds. My Master was at the other end of the pit to give everyone a hug. I did it! The feeling of elation was astounding.

There were no hiccups, or so we thought, for this cleansing activity. There was plenty of gaiety, merry making, laughter when suddenly there was commotion in a few pockets of people. Yes, regression has started for four of the participants. Two Australians and two Malaysians. We had our hands full for the whole night. Some were busy handling the regression, others were dishing out hot soup for all.

The ambulances were alerted and in so doing the TV stations and other media were also informed. The next morning we were on TV, splashed over newspapers (both Australian and Malaysian newspaper – Star and Straits Times) and phone calls were coming in from friends and relatives. My niece in Australia was even envious as the most sought after TV reporter was on location that night.

To sum this all up, I feel very fortunate to have gone through these experiences; experiences of stretching you to the limit where you are about to give up; experiences of comatose where you can no longer last another minute but you made it to the end; experiences of such comradeship and bonding that you carry your team mates on a wheelbarrow to make it to the finishing line; experiences of about to lose a course mate to cancer; experiences of suddenly knowing who your ‘twin mate’ is; experiences with your guides, mediumship and much much more. I know I will never experience the same again even if I were to repeat this course with the very same Master

Reiki and meditation

by Sandie on December 5, 2010

Reiki for kids

Reiki for kids

During Reiki courses, especially at the Masters Level we slot in meditation sessions in the early hours of the 3 mornings.  But those meditations were stand alone sessions.

I have been doing Reiki for the past 15 years and have been diligent in doing my morning 1 hour session of self healing.  And I have also experimented doing reiki with meditation during self healing as well as when giving treatments to friends. During such treatments one can be quite intuitive during the laying of hands. 

 Instead of the every 5 minute moving of hands, I laid them on for 20 minutes for each position, covering only 3 main positions. I started with Position 1 for 20 minutes then moved on to Position 3 for another 20 mintues and Position 5 for the last 20 minutes making it a total of an hour.

Moving of hands every 5 mintue is disruptive to the meditation process. With 20 minutes on Position 1 you will be able to focus on your breath steadily before moving on to the next position.

Reikians, give this a try. It is a whole brand new experience to Reikitation.
