My Geandmaster in martial arts is also considered a healer in Reiki. We sat down once and he told me that long ago Martial Artist were not called Martial artist, They were Scholars, Cooks, Doctors and Protectors. They dedicated themselves outside of their own selfish desires and became selfless and caring of others. That really set a spark in my heart and when I asked about Reiki he said "I am not a Healer, I just help them heal properly."

Such a wonderful reminder ❤

For someone who accepts the smallest part of what cannot be seen without even understanding it, this person's comments on not believing in demons is sad. He dabbles in realms of things unseen having no comprehension of what and where the power is actually coming from. This is not vision, it is blindness. Consider: If a demon can make a person feel better in this world but that trick pulls the person away from knowing G-d, what has the demon actually given the person? Nothing. In the scheme of eternity, a momentary feeling of well being or bliss is irrelevant. Those moments are wholly swallowed up by the eternity of separation from G-d. What a lopsided deal.

I've been focusing on the precepts the past 2 years since I signed up with your course August 2022. Things are so much better now. Thank you Bruce !! I'll be in touch soon ✨✨

Thank you, I clicked on part 1 thinking I’d get clear practical steps to grow my new business and you validated everything I keep feeling and intuitively knowing about my healing business- come from a place of humbleness and balance or else why do it? You’ll only add to the karma, but we all are doing that anyway… we try our best! ❤

I don't know how badly you've sprained your ankle but when I did really badly, I wasn't breathing slowly(either holding my breath and groaning or breathing really quickly), my heart was pounding(I could feel it in the swelling in my ankle), and I didn't want to touch it. I also have yet to see someone actually touch the broken part of the bone they just broke, maybe near it but not on it. So that right there does make it actually arguable. Along with the fact that your body goes through physiological changes (hormone release, etc.) that take place when you're in a deep sleep state. You also still heal while you're awake, healing doesn't stop after you sleep. Ultimately, the skepticism comes from the fact that the "energy" that you're talking about and manipulating isn't objectively detectable or quantifiable. I'm fine with Reiki being something that heals through the fact that, as humans, we like a caring touch and it's relaxing, also receiving personal attention from another is calming and soothing. If it was just that, like a different kind of "massage", it would have utility, no additional supernatural explanation needed.

You Have outlined and explained the information I have recently received in my meditation and I am so pleased to hear you say this - it is confirmation that I heard correctly. Thank you!

Glad I stop by...Thanks for the information

Thank you. I love hearing different views.

Thank you for putting this in a way I can understand and share. I’ve been certified for almost 4 years but I don’t use it as often as I want. I want to do it daily. I struggle with self doubt even though I know reiki is the healer and I’m the vessel or tool I struggle. I want to do reiki all day but my job drains me. Thank you. I have subscribed and will watch the rest of your videos. Best wishes to you ❤

Thank you for shedding light on this. I speak of this as well.

I always thought this!! You make so much more sense than the reiki people I went to (they were dogmatic and fear based). A course in miracles teaches that everyone is student and teacher.

❤powerful

Thank you for being you ❤

This was incredible. Thank you so much for sharing. New subscriber!

You are a good speaker, good cadence and tone. You’d be great by eliminating ‘right’ and ‘ok’ at the end of many sentences. Use the ‘um counter’ technique used at Toastmaster meetings. Otherwise, great explanation!

There’s a Japanese man that did a study that found the intention you have over water changes the structure of that water if the claim Reiki is a frequency shift of LOVE in particular aids in the healing process that is interesting I haven’t seen any studies on this.

“Recognize the turmoil in other beings and contemplate our return to the source?”

Thank you ❤

Great video. Thank you

Thank you! It's so nice to have a simplified way to explain Reiki. I agree we should not try to "sell" all of the extra healing tools like crystals, feathers, etc. There is a time and place for those. Doing sound baths is another area that is hard to describe to people. We have moved into a time where more and more people are receptive to these healing techniques.

Thank you, again. Your message of simplicity, and distilling resonate with me. Refreshing. I am a beginner, despite having already done a couple workshops. I find it challenging to make time to practice reiki on myself; there is no immediate ‘proof’ or *result* to identify. And so my western mind questions whether this is a valuable way to spend my time. “Am I doing it right?” “Is anything happening?” “Have I already become too distracted, therefore negating any healing that may have otherwise occurred?” These are some of the many questions my busy beta mind comes up with as an excuse to not proceed with a personal reiki practice. I wouldn’t attempt to practice on any other person if I cannot first show myself that I can (a.) focus my attention, and (b.) believe in the practice (not just go through the motions, pretending. Thank you. I discovered your channel just a few days ago. I appreciate your perspective very much.

Sorry this doesn’t help me understand Sprained my ankle bad a couple of times and last thing a did was hold it as it’s too tender to hold I elevated it , did anything to not have it move and but ice on it . Any heat comes from your body sending blood to it to help it heal not an energy ?

I appreciate your [simple] explanation/s of Reiki. I’ve been searching for something I can easily digest, and accept. Thank you.

I am quite good at doing energy work. But I am garbage at being able to explain it to people and why it could benefit them. Which is nit ideal when I am trying to start an energy work bussiness. I can do reiki but I am not restricting myself to it.

I’ve been trying for years to really understand reiki but your explanation has made the most sense. It sounds almost like a mindfulness meditation that is led one of one by another person. Reinforcing attention to certain areas through physical or near physical touch. Thank you!

Love this. Thank you. I hear you with my heart. I am finally following my path and the synchronicities and expansion are beautiful. Slow and steady, enjoy every moment.

I like your site and your demeanor. I am new so I am a bit skeptical on Reiki. Can Reiki heal physical issues in the elderly like myself?

Hi, genuine question here- if the point is stillness and not necessarily to strive for changing and rather to accept and see everything as-is, does that mean there is in fact, never any blockages or problems? Why is it that so many reiki practitioners seem to describe in thorough detail what exactly is wrong, and that they can move things? Is that just not the traditional method ?

If people truly already feel they know they have the power within themselves to heal, is external attainment or initiation really necessary?

Thank you so much for your honesty. I am very grateful for your work. We need more people like you in this world.

I'm horrified by the Reiki Article in Wikipedia, whose author knows neither Healing nor Science. Shall we talk Science? Post Master Ben Franklyn was puzzled at the time a mail packet would take from London to Philadelphia, and researched what he called The Gulf Stream, which he could not explain, and which the Admiralty could not accept, yet nobody considers it Pseudo-Science today. Placebos are the majority of Western Healing, for which there is still no explanation, but every new drug must be tested against a placebo. What I've read of Intercessory Prayer, is that it succeeds statistically, in cases that don't tell family members but, in cases where family members are told, it's as though it's already being done. Once we concede the efficacy of Inercessory Prayer, who's to say Laying Hands isn't a form of Prayer?

Really enjoyed this topic Bruce, thank you! You answered my first thought that came to mine when you started the talk, which was “why do we need to even heal the past?”

Thank You 🙏. I need to go back to my practice.

I have a racing heart periodically ….very stressful. Would reiki help ?

Easy to believe…when you consider quantum physics, energy, and the fact that we are all connected! Everything is made of baryonic material☺️, atoms moving..both particles and waves..even inanimate objects. Thanks for what you do, God bless!✨✨

Great insight and reminder 🙏Thank you!

Thanks. Good ideas.

Love it bro. I’m of the exact same mindset. Like literally every sentence you said from start to finish. Where are you based? Love from Singapore Zephyr

Hey thanks brother. I’m a reiki master teacher too, and similar to you I do/use all the other things in a free way. How would you explain symbols and attunements to people though? To the skeptics I mean. In the sense, when they ask “what determines the next level and why do we need levels and so on?”

A very intelligent discourse.

It makes perfect sense. The flow aligns with the progression of life. It’s like a river or a waterfall or rain. Everything has a direction and that is motion. Stagnation creates a resistance which creates dis-ease. I love how you made this so clear 🙏🏻❤️I hope what I’m trying to say makes sense hahaha 😅

We aspire to walk each moment as who we want to be. Thank you for the confirmation!

Thanks loved this video very informative

I’d hit the ground running when I got off the plane from Kathmandu and had hardly stopped for breath. I went to the temple at Wat Rachanada on the river and in the silence allowed Tietsin’s mantra to spin without restriction in my head. I cannot tell you the specific Pali words, farang, for I am bound to secrecy, but I am allowed to describe the blade wheel, which is imagined as a star-shaped weapon closely resembling the shiken used by ninjas, although unlike the shiken it has a disturbing way of morphing into other shapes. The blade wheel is the enemy of self-delusion-“self-delusion” meaning just about everything in the field of normal everyday perception, in particular our most cherished delusions about ourselves. -John Burdett, "The Godfather of Kathmandu".

Interesting, especially how it can affect the liver. I've always been an overthinker, ruminator and 'worryer' and yes my liver is affected, have just had severe acute pancreatitis caused by gallstones and am awaiting to have my gallbladder removed. Also my skin is worse than my two older sisters, so you could have a point 🤔

Great video, thanks

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience ❤

Wonderful, thank you for sharing your practice 🙏🏻❤️
