Have come across this great Reiki resource site called Reiki Evolution which has some great articles written by Taggart King. I was interested to read in one of his articles that he doesn't like the term 'Reiki Healer' and his reasons make perfect sense. When we give Reiki we are the channel of energy not the source and therefore we cannot heal. Certainly 'Reiki Practitioner' is a much better term for describing what we do - practice Reiki. As he explains, we need to "get out of the way" and let the energy flow as it is not something we can control or direct. I hadn't appreciated that we should not be focusing on a particular end result but must be detached, emptying our thoughts, merging with the energy. I'll definitely be reading more of his articles.
This site also has information on an Egyptian Reiki retreat. I can't think of anything more exciting! I've always been fascinated by Egypt and have been told one of my past lives was as a young male who painted scenes on the walls of the pyramids. This retreat would include guided meditations at ancient sites, group discussions, a nile cruise and lots of opportunities to practice Reiki. This would be a great opportunity to share knowledge and meet new friends and I truly hope this is something I can fit into my life.
