Healing Types and Styles
Hi All.
With all the post on different types/styles of healing, I thought that it would be interesting to know how many are actually out there.
Perhaps we could list those that we know or find and perhaps a link to a web site. Also if anyone has first hand experience of what they list, then perhaps a short comment would help.
What do you think?
Over to you.

There are lots!:D Here are two former threads on this very topic:
The many forms of reiki
Difference in reiki systems??
No doubt others have erm, been invented? developed? manifested? since then. ;)

I wonder if it's a case of being an 'attunement junkie' for someone to wish to be attuned to so many different types of Reiki? I know of some people who do enjoy being attuned, because of the wonderful way it leaves them feeling and the healing they get. They may have exchanged attunements with other masters for the experience but stayed with one or two types of Reiki, mainly Usui.
Excuse my ignorance, but for anyone who's attuned to say more than 10 Reiki-type modalities, is it possible to gain an in-depth knowledge in and experience of all of them? And how do you know which energy is coming through at any given moment? Or does it not matter?
Answers:
That is a very good question I supposeyou couldlook at in two ways.
[ol][*]The energy would be what is required at any given time.[*]Using intuition you would channel what is required.[/ol]
IMO It does not matter, for me the healing energy is channelled through me by my healing guides and it is they that decide where, when and what is required. As a trance healer I have also been a channel for ascended masters/archangels.
So I suppose what I am saying is that IMO any healer can advance their abilities by themselves through their personal connection/empowerment to the spiritual energies (call it what you will) without the need for 207 earthbound attunements.

That's my viewpoint as well. Instead of looking without at the dozens of modalities that I could attune to, I'd prefer to go within and develop an in-depth relationship with what is already there and growing through experience and reflection. I think of it in terms of cooking. I get more satisfaction in eating on one or two dishes that have been cooked with passion, precision and focus, than in grazing on a buffet where the flavours mingle all over the plate into a mess. And I've yet to come across a buffet that delivers quality on all counts.
Answers:
So true. Attunements can be addictive, just like anything else.
Answers:
When I see people advertising and claiming to teach the multitude of attunements it is a very good indication that they simply have not found their connection to source. If any one of their attunements actually worked they would not need to feel that they would need to go out and get more.

thats one way of looking at it patrick, maybe another wayis that they are looking for a system that really resonates with them as you have

Answers:
As most systems incorporate the same core principles, it would only be a case of learning the "add-ons" for each one, but as others have said, personally, I feel that you know which one resonates with you. I am attuned to 4 styles and there is very little in the way of "add-ons" between them, and most of the learning I have gained from each of the styles has fitted in with all the others so, to me, it all feels likea single system.
As for which energy is coming through, intuition plays a bit part in the way I give treatements. I can feel the differences, but do not let conscious decions get involved in "deciding" which energy should be used. All the ones I have access to work with each other and sometimes All of them will come through at the same time, whilst at other times, one specifically stands out as a requirement by the client. e.g. if my hands feel like they are being pushed off the body into the aura, I know that it is Gaia Now that is coming through and being required by the client etc.
I certainly have no intention of going out there and getting attuned to as many as possible as I don't see that the majority of them have anything more to offer than what I have already learned, with the exception of having other peoples beliefs imposed on me which, IMHO, is not what energy therapies are all about.

Perhaps that's a measure of the skill and self development a practitioner has achieved in order to work fluently and at ease with their intuition.
It concerns me that someone could get trip happy getting attuned to multiple systems and not gain a depth of knowledge in a few of them. Your 4 systems are far less than the 10 or more I was referring to.
I think about the understanding I've gained in Usui Reiki of byosen, and how the sensitivity in my hands and my intuition grows to enable me to have greater clarity as to what is happening energetically with different people. That's taken time to gain confidence in. Whilst I may choose at a later date to experience a few other systems, I think there's a lot to be said for taking the patience to play with one for a while to see how it and the individual develop together.
Answers:
It is all well and good stating that people should utilise the system they receive, the problem is not everyone can function with all the modalities, so for those that can function well with what they have found that is excellent for them.
Others receive attunements and they pass them by, that is they have no sense of the energies behind the modality, they can't work with the system simply because there is no conscious connection for them, they are in effect spiritually blind.
There will be a modality out there for them, it might work on a completely different level of consciousness to most modalities, but they will know it when they receive it.
Once the connection is formed, with time they will learn to step beyond the basic teachings and use intuition, spiritual insight and guidance to give each person what they personally require, this is IMO what is necessary for someone to become a master, not a piece of paper on the wall.
Then there is the other situation, when people do actually take the time and trouble to learn an energy modality only to find it does not function they way they require it to, at this point they will either expand the original modality to incorporate whatever it is they require and we have another add-on modality, or they will go away and create something new which will function they way they want it to.
It is as always down to personal choices :-)
