Reiki Session 1 – Restructuring

February 4th, 2009

Today I met Carrie Laymon over at Pathfinder healing here in Austin.

Laymon is PathFinder, a name derived from the spiritual energy of the Wolf. In some Native American traditions, the wolf is considered the PathFinder. In this lore, wolf medicine represents protection, loyalty, teaching, and leading the way through intuition, spiritual wisdom and universal truth.

Carrie, who has been healing people for 20 years, is a Reiki Master here in Austin. She takes a holistic approach to healing while focusing on the body’s energy (soul) rather that the body’s physical matter for healing.

We live in such a materialistic world these days and we all tend to forget or often need reminders that we are more than our physical body. When I glance out at the world around me I notice a common pattern, and it’s that most people believe in a “soul” of some type, or should I say “life after death”.  Interestingly enough, even though we have these beliefs we disguard  them when we get sick and usually only focus on getting the physical part of us better. It never dawns on us that maybe it’s a spiritual problem (not always) which has simply manifested itself in the physical.

I think a lot of times our spirit tries to tell us things but we get so caught up in things that don’t matter “such as cell phones”, that we don’t hear our inner self speaking to us. This goes on for a while and then the body starts to fall ill, as if our spirit is speaking to us in the only language that we know at the time which is “physical”.

Myself, realizing that maybe all of my physical ailments were just symptoms of something the wasn’t physical at all I started looking for some healing hands. I turned to Google and immediately found Carrie ranked number 1 in the results. I called her and we talked for about an hour about life and such and I felt like we connected.  Without reservations I scheduled a session for Today.

When I arrived at her office at 12:30 I must admit that I was nervous. I was actually quite nervous throughout the entire session, but I was able to relax some. Carrie was very polite and professional and after I filled out two entire pieces of paper I moved to the table and prepared myself for the healing.

Carrie immediately felt that although I was pulling in quite a bit of energy, my energy body was fragmented making it impossible for this energy to be properly received. She quickly began to work on restructuring my energy body.

During the first 10 minutes she did some work around my forehead area and I could feel a pulsating energy right between my eyes. When ever she would move her hands this pulsating energy would move to wherever her hands were. I would like to point out that she was not touching me at this point, her hands were just hovering over me. She continued the head work for about 20 minutes it seemed.

Next, she actually placed her hand on my head and I could actually feel energy moving around in my head. Sometimes I would feel a wave of energy shoot across and down though my body and into the table.

She continued to work on different parts of my body until she was at my feet. When she started working on my feet I had the same feeling that I had in my head expect I could feel energy moving and bouncing around my entire body. It was almost like hundreds of hands moving around inside me. Very strange feeling, similar to the vibrations I feel when projecting.

The session ended and we talked for a while about a few more sessions to completely “connect” my energy body so that I can move on to Kundalini Yoga. We didn’t discover any emotional issues that needed any work, basically restructuring is all I need.

Driving home I felt more alert and calm.  I think that overall, it was a great experience.

No Progress Is Progress.

February 4th, 2009

I have not had any success over the past few days but I want to write about why, because knowing what doesn’t work is progress in and of itself. I have had a migraine this week that is slowly dragging to an end and have been covered up at work. I think that these two things combined with not much sleep has hindered progress.

The good news is that my new approach is going to work. I have been listening to a Brainsync track called “Brain Massage” while falling asleep. I still try to stay alert, but I don’t fight it. The migraine seems to be letting up now and the breathing is getting better.

When I wake up in the morning my thoughts are racing because of work, however I have been able to pull off the vibrational state every morning so far, even with the stress of work and without the use binaural beats. This to me is a good sign and now all I need to do is focus on doing what I can at work and totally forgetting about the rest. It means putting myself first over work, which I have failed to do for years. Time for a change, time for a big change.

This weekend is suppose to be mostly stress free and will give me the opportunity to use the beats in the morning. I will see success this weekend so stay tuned :)

Season 1, Episode 5: Where No One Has Gone Before

February 2nd, 2009

travellerI am what you might consider a Star Trek The Next Generation addict (Trekkie).  During the last few days this random thought has been running though my head about Star Tek and whether there is any references to OBEs / astral projection. I was thinking that Star Trek must have missed out of the OBE message and I was kind of disappointed because I thought I had watched every TNG episode.

Today I worked from home and it so happened that I was watching recorded DVR episodes back to back.  When the next episode came up I expected to see a familiar episode but to my suprise it was one that I somehow missed!

Season 1, Episode 5: Where No One Has Gone Before:

The Enterprise is ordred to undergo a series of tests that will propel the ship at unfathomable speed, but Riker has misgivings surrounding the equations and theories presented by the arrogant designer, and someone, most unexpected, is the only one who puts his finger on the assistant as the one behind the whole scheme of things.

This is the best episode that I have ever seen and it aligns perfectly with astral projection. Basically with the power of thought energy this man aboard the ship who is called “The Traveller” uses pure thought to propel the Enterprise 1 billion light years away from our galaxy in a matter of mintues.

The ship ends up in a non conscious part of the universe that’s made up of pure energy and all of the crew members begin the realize that what ever they think about becomes a reality. The crew has to learn very quickly to control their thoughts.

Toward the end Captain Picard speaks to ”The Traveller” in an attempt to get the ship back home and the man tells Picard that the true nature of the universe is governed by thoughts alone and though thoughts all things come into existence.

“The Traveller’s” physical body begins to die and it’s only though the collective kind thoughts of the entire ship focused toward him that they are able to heal him and make it back home.

If you are a fan of both Star Trek and Astral Projection, this episode is for you. It’s cool how I was just thinking about this throughout the days before and then the episode that I had never seen before shows up and happens “by chance” to have astral projection related concepts embedded all within it. Amazing. The universe is hard at work, bringing my thoughts into reality in every way possible, even with Star Trek.

Integrating Healing Into My Approach

February 2nd, 2009

I have noticed that migraines have started to take over my life again, and have been preventing me from being in the state of mind needed for astral projection over the last few days. My migraines tend to cause pain, confusion, loss of sight, numbness throughout my body and breathing problems.

I have had the brain, several sleep studies, seen pulmonologists/span, heart doctors, ear nose and throat doctors, family doctors and chiropractors. None of which have been able to help me.

Last year around November 24th I began to listen to a brainsync track called “Sound Healing” and saw miraculous results. I actually eliminated sleeping problems that I have been experiencing for the last 10 years and more importantly my migraines disappeared. I am not sure why this track cured me, but I can assure you that it did.

I stopped listening to this track around the same time that I started attempting astral projection and the sleep problems and migraines slowly entered into my life again, and now I am back to 1 or 2 migraines a week. I think this is mainly because my sleep patterns are off.

Last night I woke up at 3 AM and noticed that I was having problems breathing. I literally felt like I was going to die. This was a feeling that I could not get enough air out of my lungs. I struggled to shake this for 2 hours and then fell asleep finally with great anxiety. Then 15 minutes later woke up with the full migraine including the aura which causes loss of sight. The pain shortly followed.

What I found interesting about this is that after the migraine set in, I entered the vibrational state without even thinking about it or trying. I simply tried to relax to eliminate the migraine / breathing symptoms and it just happened. I didn’t proceed because I just didn’t feel like it.

I have decided after last night that there are going to be several changes in my approach.

  1. I will be no longer attempt astral projection at the beginning of my night when I go to bed.
  2. I am going to start listening to “Sound Healing” again while initially falling asleep.
  3. I am going to have several Reiki treatments which will hopefully adjust my energy and eliminate anxiety from my life and promote healing.
  4. I am going to start practicing Reiki. This will allow me to continue self treatments after having treatments done by a master.
  5. I am going to start taking Kundalini Yoga to help with energy flow and relaxation.
  6. I am going to start studying Buddhism and meditating at one of the Buddhist centers here in Austin.
  7. I will attempt astral projection in the morning after having a restful sleep. It’s obvious after last night that OBEs seems to naturally occur early in the morning after a refreshing sleep.
  8. I will continue to use the same techniques for astral projection and continue listening to Hemi-Sync. Anyone who has studied Reiki, please send some healing energy my way.

You can see that my new approach is holistic in nature and I am very hopeful that I will find a cure.

Thanks for listening.
