Perception is reality

I headed down to Eastbourne knowing that Reg didn’t have long left. He had been ill for 18 months or so, cancer having ravaged through his neck, subsequently treated into remission only to return as a secondary cancer at the base of his skull a matter of weeks later.

He liked having reiki and I was pleased to be able to offer a little relief for him. Some relaxation at least if he felt nothing else.

As I settled into his auric field, his eyes closed and seemingly his body relaxed, I scanned around his head and an intensity to the energy was palpable. After 10 minutes or so, I felt I needed to step back and just let the energy flow without me in the middle. His breathing deepened and took on a rattly tone for several minutes.

He looked left, eyes open. I wondered if something had happened.

He looked straight ahead. I knew he was not aware.

He looked right.

His breathing returned to normal and I quietly freaked out. In all honesty I wondered for a moment if I had sent him on his way.

As I nervously drew the session to a close and brought him back into consciousness, with a feeling of relief, my ego started to surface. “So how was it, how are you feeling?” I was sure he was going to have a lot to say.

With a hint of dismissiveness he quickly replied “Nah I didn’t really feel anything that time”.

Hmm.
