Teachings from the HeartTM

The scanning procedure is simple. Begin by feeling the edge of your person's aura by holding a hand at some distance above the body slowly moving it closer towards the body until there is a sense of contact. This is a quite subtle feeling, sort of like a gentle pushing or a buoyancy against the hand. Once you've established the edge of a person's aura you move your hand slowly along this edge, usually from the feet towards the head. While you are moving along the person's aura try to feel any unusual or irregular sensation at the outer edge or within the aura. Engage your guides and your intuition in this process. Every part of the body feels normally a bit different, but there is a general liquidlike sensation, beneath your hands. A sense of flow. When you feel a gap, hole or bulge, excessive coldness or heat, you will know, there is an imblance.

You may also talk to your person during this scanning process, gaining information about past injuries and eventual present complaints.

The combined information (your scanning, the information you receive from your person plus your intuition) provide you with some idea about what areas need to be healed, physically and emotionally/attitudinally, you might even receive some info about desirable dietary changes.

You might want to scan again half way through your session (it is not necessary though) When you repeat the scanning process at the end of your session you may notice a big difference.

There is also the option of using a Pendulum to check for "troubled" spots.

At the very end of your session you can finish by beaming Reiki from the feet up, by standing about 1 meter away from your person and simply beaming the Reiki with your hands towards the person. This can also be done across the room. You can even beam Reiki with your eyes at any given time.

There are no limits to Reiki, it travels on your breath as well. Imagine when you walk that with every step you take, healing Reiki is flowing to Mother Earth.......

When you feel a hole or a tear in the aura you can sew it closed again with an etheric needle and thread. Or if there is a bulge you can scoop it out with your hands. These techniques however go more towards Psychic Surgery.
