Dear Govind,

While waiting for Rama to give the proper answer to
yr questions, perhaps I can just mention something.
(I'm not sure whether Rama is currently in the US for
retreat or somewhere else teaching). :)

Actually, the recently-published Reiki Tummo English
book ("REIKI TUMMO: An Effective Technique for Health
and Happiness") by our Grand Master does explain
a little bit about the terminology spirit, soul and
their differences. In fact, the book also gives an
introduction about mind vs heart, and some exercises
to be in the heart.

If you already have the book, then you might want
to review it again. Or ask Rama more for more info
(although we learn it more during spiritual retreat).

But if not, then I really encourage you to get a copy
of the book. It is a really good book for RT
practioners, which clearly provides background
information about RT, explains all exercises
covered in RT 1-3A workshops, and contains useful Q&A,

plus some additional information about heart.

If you need to get one, you can just visit
www.padmacahaya.com for ordering information.
Alternatively, now you can also order the book from
Amazon. :)

Hope this helps. :)

With Love and Light,
rio :)

Subject: What is the difference between Spirit and
Soul ?

Dear Rama and my dear alumini,

It's almost been 4 to 6 months since I have posted
anything on this
board, I hope all is well with you. I am sorry I could
not respond to
the text messages you sent me earlier, when you were
in London. A lot
of things have changed in my life and I am just about
coping with them
with a little bit of surrendering, faith & prayers ;-)

Well this is reg a question I have, when I was going
through my
"Meditation Workshop manual". I came across a para in
Meditation
Theory (types of meditation) which says :-

"Target as an Object of Meditation: breath, Crown
chakra, Ajna chakra
(where the soul is), Heart Chakra (where the spirit
is)"

Does this mean Spirit & Soul are different from one
another ? If so
what is the difference ?

More importantly could you also please expalin me the
function of
a.)Mind b.)Heart c.) Soul d.) Spirit and they way they
interact with
each other ?

I have lot's more questions but I think it's better if
I take one
thing at a time ;-)

With Love & Light,
Govind
