I agree.  The book is excellent and a good companion to NEW.  They are very very
similar.

I too started out as a wanna be healer.

Started with reiki (powerful effective healing).

Added NEW/quantum touch energy breathing (Robert Bruce and Richard Gordon).

Added Seikem (like reiki).

Now am using Donna Eden's "Energy Medicine" ways.  (Excellent book anyone can use --
even better video).

I have become quite an accomplished healer -- enough so to divert me from exploring OBE
for awhile while I master this unexpected gift.

About reiki.  I have to agree with Winged Wolf.  It is mutating.  My own reiki seems to have
changed by itself.  When I use it on sensitive clairvoyants, I get shocked looks and and surprised
utterances, "wow, what kind of energy is THAT?"  It no longer looks like reiki, tho I can use
basic garden variety reiki if I intend to do so.  Instead, reiki (in me) is like a gateway
attunement.  I think it is opening up other healing ways for me.  

I am completely unconcerned about the fact that reiki is "unknown" and that the people who
use it don't know how it work.  I, for one, drive a car, and I haven't the faintest idea how the
silly thing actually runs.  Of course, if you are concerned about the unknown, and if the unknown
resonnates fear in you -- then that is the kind of expereince you will call to yourself if you
got there.  In which case, don't learn reiki.  Stick with NEW, Quantum Touch, or Donna Eden's
stuff which is quite clearly explained and easy/fun to use (and very effective).  I, on the other
hand, am quite delighted by the unknown and the various kinds of energy healing I do that
are my own -- but which had their genisis in reiki.  

One last note on reiki.  Healthwoman, I too was taught that reiki can never hurt and that it
can only heal.  I too believed that.  No longer.  I have come across one person who had a
horrific experience with reiki (she too was psychically gifted and asked the reiki practitioner
not to tamper with her energy, only to heal -- the practitioner DID NOT OBEY this request).
Because there is one example now of reiki doing harm, I have to conclude that the teaching
"reiki never harms" is false and part of an innaccurate dogma.  It must be rejected.

If you want to heal, I highly recommend reiki.  However, much that is taught is not necessary,
and at least one principle of the teachings is wrong.  Use that energy with care and only
with the best intentions -- or better yet use it with NO intentions and let the energy itself
do the work, and (hopefully) only good things will happen.

One of the things that TMI is really good at is helping participants look at their belief systems.
Beliefs can be very limiting.  If you believe in CIA conspiracies, one-world government etc., it is
highly probable that you will "pull" those kind of experiences to you -- and the validating
information to support those beliefs.  Powerful stuff, this reality creation.

I don't belive in any large scale conspiracies.  I worked for a small corporation for 15 years with
highly intelligent and motivated people, and watched again and again as things got blundered,
opportunities missed, important "secret" information leaked etc.  If that group if smart people
couldn't pull of simple business secrets, then I knew that larger more wide-spread conspiracies were
quite impossible.

I have no way to disprove the TMI secret coding on the tapes.  But I will attest to the honesty
and integrity of every single person I have met there in my last three programs.  And I believe
that it would be impossible for these people to participate in such a conspiracy.  So, that would
mean even they wouldn't know about it -- and they run the place.  Who's left?  

I find that conspiracy theories are advanced by people who feel an need to be validated.  It
is not enough to be who they are -- they need to know "secret" information (so you respect them
more) or they need to be "targeted" by the conspiracies (so that they are more important than
they really are).  It's all self-esteem issues.  

Let such people be.  It hurts their souls too much to be confronted by disbelief -- because it is
an attack on their self-created image of importance.  And don't we all want to be important?

TMI is a great place.  The experiences are wonderful.  They will be treasured for a lifetime.
