In Reiki, many people say that Usui, Hayashi and Takata, (the current founders), are now Ascended Masters, and that they work with us and are the ones actually performing the Ceremonial Attunements.
In truth, I am not sure I believe this as the chances of it being the last physical Earth lifetime for all three of them is staggering, ....although stranger things happen everyday.... but I do know that there are many Angels, Guides and Helpers along the way, and you are never healing or attuning alone. :+)
We all have personal Guides etc.. One of my main teachers not only in healing, but in all areas of my Spiritual Growth, is an 18 foot tall Arabic male entity named BaHaRa that came back with me after a NDE. I have been told that he hangs out about four feet above me at all times.
I also have a Healing guide and teacher named Anjiri Ahn that is working on healing me with interdimensional issues, while she also helps me with others that I am working on.
My first concsious contact with Anjiri was when I had a very lucid dream of a woman in beautiful, brilliant blue robes that appeared to me. She told me that she was there to help me and when ever I saw that specific shade of blue, I would know it was her.
I recieved more confirmation from others who have also seen her and related back her name and some messages for me.
Other than in dreams and out of body contacts, I have not seen either of them with my own physical eyes. How do I know that they are there? Well, when the fourth clairvoyant told me that I had this huge male entity over me named BaHaRa that I brought back after my NDE...., I started to believe them. I knew someone was with me... I could feel it. I knew it. Just not who.
I hear BaHaRa. He is a voice in my head and heart. Sometimes I hear him as you would a thought, once in awhile I hear him outloud which usually shocks me. I trust him becuase the thoughts are so profound and always accurate. This entity has helped me remember how to think in whole concepts and perceptions.
With Anjiri it was pretty easy. At first, I just saw that specific shade of blue in my 6th chakra area. Now I can feel her also. Or I see that color blue as wings in my mind. Just the other day a good friend and Healer named Aziza saw the wings when I did... I love the confirmation.
If you are a healer,(even if your not), you have them. No need to wonder...they are right there with you every time you work. The Angels Guides and Helpers of the person that you are working on are there also.
I was once told that the reason that beaming and distant works so well, is because you are removing your aura from the persons, and that allows the persons own Angels and Guides to work with them more clearly.
What confuses many people is the way in which our Guides communicate with us. One person might see them, another hears them... some people feel them move their hands to certain spot. Some people just intuitively know what they are trying to communicate.
One of my friends is a clairvoyant, and she told me that she noticed that the messages she heard where always on her right side, just behind her shoulder. I had never thought in terms before of where I heard my messages.... so I payed attention for a while to see if there was a pattern in mine.
It seems that I hear mine on the left, behind my ear. And I see things in my third eye area. Katherine, another Healer and good friend of mine says she gets them from the same side as I do.
Obviously it is different for each of us. I would caution anyone of becoming dependent on it happening the same way forever. Always be open to Spirit and the mutitudes of way that it communticates with us.
A Healer should never compare his way against another. If you think that someone elses way of communicating is better or worse than yours ... you might miss out on the beauty of your own way.
The important thing to remember, is if you want to see them or hear them more clearly, ASK! They want to help you, and they want to communicate with you. If you feel that your getting some sort of information, but your not sure, ask for confirmation... you will get it.
There are several books out there to help you meet your Guides and teachers. Ted Andrews is the author of a couple of good books. The one I remember is, Meet And Work With Spirit Guides. I am sure that there are many fine books out there. If you know of any, please let me know and I will add them here.
The one I recommend of course is Hands Of Light by Barbara Brennan. It does not have a lot of info on how to contact your guides, but trust me, by the time your done with it, you will have no trouble at all knowing how to contact your guides.
I am including a story about a personal experience with guides and helpers.... If you send in yours, I will be happy to add them when I update these pages.
