( it was said on another line that sure you can self treat
depression --- this was being told to a new reiki practitioner)

(excerpt: Once attuned, begin by self-treating regularly. Affirm
that healing energy serve your Highest Good, help you to gain
insight into your emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical
selves, and encourage attaining overall well-being and
balance in each of these areas. The more you practice, the more
you will learn to feel the energy flow and energy blockages within
your own body. With practice, you will also experience a
heightening of sensory perception.

on attunement excerpt : ( It is extremely important to practice
regular self-treatments, as well as treatments to others, if only
through distance sends. It is through USING the energy that we
develop increasingly refined evolution of its use, together with
continual personal growth. )


Hello -

While self treating has been spoken of gloriously on this line ....
would you not say that Hayashi Chujiro would have been
proficient enough to self treat .....

He was a retired naval officer and surgeon ..... he studied with
Usui in 1925 where it is beleived he helped put together the first
manuals on diseases and hand placements ..... he opened
one of the first for pay reiki centers and taught over 13 teachers
..... he was there when the symbols were put into place ....

Hawayo Takata was one of his students .... she is the one that
has brought the reiki that is taught in the west ....

Unfortunately he committed suicide in 1940 by cutting his own
artery ....

The point being it is not that you can't self treat ..... which one
can to a point ..... but to speak in such overwhelmingly glowing
terms when it isn't experienced as you state with rapid self
healing ------ there can be a sense of failure and an even
deeper depression may ensue .....

this is why it takes hand in hand help with traditional medicine -
self healing - guidance in meditation and aide from a more
accomplished Master that has emmerged out of the
depressions etc .... one that can also help to bring the system
body - mind & spirit into harmony .......


Love - Light - Great Peace & IS
