tinieblas Posted October 24, 2009 #53 Share Posted October 24, 2009 you dont have a power. but if its something like you claim it is, prove it at a hospital. i know this thread is ancient though. what exactly is it about people innocently discussing this kind of topic, without forcing it upon you, which threatens you so, Sir? Would you, were you a homophobe, go onto gay forums just to complain about how gay people behave or think? If you don't agree with how people speak on this section of the forum then you can stay away.... or do you have other reasons...just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranormalcy Posted October 24, 2009 #54 Share Posted October 24, 2009 If you were someone that is interested in the homosexual issue and rights, etc. then you would likely hang out on a forum, and if you're a "skeptic" or anti-homosexual rights, then it is likely you would post in other people's threads to disagree, but the skeptics are kind of missing the point of this discussion, still, as the question is "I have a power, what do I do with it", not "I think I might have a power, do I?"

Legaia Posted October 24, 2009 #55 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Take away people's sickness? A girl with a headache and a guy with a sore arm? Hardly curing cancer is it? Go to a hospital. Go into a ward, and touch someone who's <i>really</i> ill. That should be enough to convince you that there is no such thing as healing powers. No such thing? I wouldn't call them healing 'powers' but have you ever experienced or even heard of reiki? Its one of the most incredible experiences you can ever have. And yes, it DOES work.

tinieblas Posted October 24, 2009 #56 Share Posted October 24, 2009 let me just speak to the skeptics a bit here, seeing as they have latched onto the "special ability" and "better than thou" theme. We are all, each and every one of us capable of doing and experiencing things which are different to what we are traditionally told is 'normal'...ALL of us, not just a special few. One day science will "prove" or formulate theories and explainations about the energy flows, potentials and parts of the human mind which are sensative to and can perceive and manipulate these energies. Psychic abilities are no more than senses, apart from the usual 5, which living in modern society has atropified or made no longer necessary as such. As each human is different, each person's senses are differently aligned. I have a friend who can smell bad smells from an amazing distance away and is never wrong. I can hear a pin drop,literally; I can even tell you what coin is dropped in another room by it's sound, I can also see pretty well in the dark and take walks through woods rarely lighting my torch. These are examples of differences in the Big Five of the human senses. There is the misquoted saying that we use only 1/3 of our brains; but, if we don't use all of it, who is to say of what it is capable? Is it possible different senses, and not magic, exist? consider that possibility, seriously, if you might. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deceiver Posted October 24, 2009 #60 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) From time to time I still have a quick laugh at the topic title. "i have weird power what do i do with it" Oh I dunno. Maybe for starters go to the nearest hospital and try to heal a few people? Lol this is a great facepalm worthy material.

Mattshark Posted October 24, 2009 #63 Share Posted October 24, 2009 to be fair, you did overdo it a shade, mate. I am very sceptical, won't deny that. The problem is that personal experience is always subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of the most incredible experiences you can ever have. And yes, it DOES work. I think reiki has more to do with the placebo effect than anything else. The power of suggestion is powerful. But that isn't true healing, is it? At least not by my mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no question you cannot answer well said, I couldn't have put it better myself! Looking for affirmation is fine and understandable; I've done it but once I stopped doing that is when I started feeling more confident and better.

tinieblas Posted October 26, 2009 #68 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Very true. No one has shown any great results for reiki outside of the comforting affects of touch. I was very skeptical of reiki until a friend offered to help with a free session when I gave up smoking and was as tense as a coiled spring. Thing is; they shouldn't actually touch you that's the thing and I'll be honest, I was very skeptical, didn't think it'd do anything for me at all,...but when I closed my eyes and laid back and let her do whatever it was and it worked.....I don't know what she did but I felt the tension drain right out of me and leave a feeling of complete peace behind. It was the strangest but also most pleasant thing I've ever felt. Give it a try and then see what you think, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one manner of speaking you are highly accepting of supposed abilities, and then in another manner of speaking you are highly skeptical... So which is it, are you picking and choosing based on what suits you best? Edited October 26, 2009 by Moro Bumbleroot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British Reiki Association disagree with you on that one, they say contact should be made. British Reiki Association.

Sorry I can't afford the costs of a treatment that has not shown any results in medical testing. I would say this is garbage.. My first reiki experience was with my friend, his dad, and his dad's friend who is a reiki master, and four of his own students. The reiki master (Al Hauk) has been involved in reiki for over thirty years and there was no(and is not supposed to be) any contact between their hands and your body. Thats what makes it an amazing experience because you can feel the energy without any contact, and it does work no matter how skeptical you may be going into the experience. I'm a skeptic myself with most things, take my word for it, it is amazing. Edited October 26, 2009 by Legaia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So which is it, are you picking and choosing based on what suits you best? no mate, I'm a troubled soul; I am a sketic who wants to believe; or at least I was....you see I have a deeply logical mind which has been increasingly met by things it cannot explain. Therefore I do doubt and try to face every experience with an open mind. It's only recently that I put my more logical side to one side and decided to believe somewhat more than I was doing. It's too long a story to go into here but believe me that I am not cherry picking, I've simply been convinced. Back then when this reiki was done on me, I was still in the process of being convinced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychosomatic, especially as blind tests have shown no results and the Darwin Award for the reiki master who thought he'd cured his own septicaemia.
