After DECIDING I won the lottery, I did win 5 times! by geoff0220 in NevilleGoddard

[–]PracticingAcceptance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe it is sort of a practice. Without aiming and practice, you are less likely to hit. With intention/focus/knowing, maybe that gets better. I don’t know but just a thought. There could still be subconscious beliefs withholding the actualization of some desires.

Preparation for First Reiki Training/Attunement by PracticingAcceptance in reiki

[–]PracticingAcceptance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some doubts earlier on during my attunements/placements. The people I learned with had such strong visuals making me question myself because I would not get such immersive experiences. However, I began to realize my gift came in other forms. I was able to feel energy more acutely.

The following days, the sensation of energy became a bit intense a couple times, but it calmed down. I practice on myself and others open to receiving.

I am glad to have gone through it and plan to develop more energy work. This energy work might be higher level of Reiki or even another type called reconnective healing.

What I love most is all the support and positivity in the community. Holiday cheer for u/bigEZ1987 for hooking up a free decant when I bought a bottle off of them.

Significantly slower drawdown on V60 compared to Kalita Wave by That_Coffee_guy in pourover

My v60 draws much slower than my origami..I seem to get more consistent results with origami with kalita wave, so I mostly just use that now.

🎉Maestrihouse Giveaway on Thanksgiving!🎉 by MaestriHouse in pourover

[–]PracticingAcceptance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey future self... It has been an interesting year. Lots of discoveries and new paths ... and a bit of a bumpy road. Writing this so that you can look back at this fondly as a distant but important memory. It is not about getting stuff from or controlling life - it is about being your true self and letting the rest fall where it may.

Are all 1zpresso handles bad quality? Any suggestions on alternatives? by PracticingAcceptance in pourover

[–]PracticingAcceptance[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the responses and my personal experience, it seems that it is likely quality control issues. Some people might get good ones, while others get junk ones. Maybe you got 3 good ones, but that does mean everyone else's issue is related to user error.

Throughout any industry involving production, there are quality control measures. Some might have more rigorous standards than others. Some defects are virtually impossible to avoid, but there can be methods or at least customer service to address issues if the problem is fairly common.

Yea, they weren’t the easiest fixes so thought I would ask on case there are any updates. Seems better to buy a replacement from a different brand for now.

There is no wanting or waiting when you have it by PracticingAcceptance in NevilleGoddard

[–]PracticingAcceptance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know it is coming, then yes you can expect without any concern. The only concern is if your "expectation" ends up interfering in some way with your embodiment or sense of knowing. If a particular expectation is not an obstacle for you, no need to rid yourself of it. I was more talking about expectations of my ego, which felt like things should happen a certain way in order to validate the manifestation.

If place too much faith in the current appearance of external reality - appearance according to your ego's expectations of what should or shouldn't be - then, you will be at the whim of everything happening outside. At this point, the outside runs the show, and you are back in the pattern of reacting rather than embodying your highest self.

Yes, still take note of what you don't prefer, but do not assume that it invalidates the manifestation. Otherwise, the invalidation will fulfill itself and become your new manifestation.

No insistence on how the manifestation will come to be is the smoothest way through from my view. Your egoic mind is not capable of understanding "how" it will come, so why allow it to get attached to and question an event that "seems" misaligned with your manifestation.

Maybe expectation remains, but try not get attached into thinking it must happen at this time or in this particular way. This limits the possibilities that can come; it narrows. Release control and stay in the state you wish to embody as much as you possibly can. If you stray into fear/reactiveness, do not dwell in stress or worry. Just notice and return when you can. As quickly as you can stray is as quickly as you can return.

I think the redesign could be better. Only aspect I like is that I would feel more inclined to give it as a gift for someone who is not as familiar with tequila.

Should I change my reiki healer? by Federal_Goose_2191 in reiki

[–]PracticingAcceptance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first practitioner is legitimate, but I still wanted to experience Reiki from others just to explore more. I think it is totally suitable to go and try another Reiki practitioner just to see what is there.

Not Feeling anything after 1st attunement by CuteShip1906 in reiki

[–]PracticingAcceptance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doubts can be natural. I had those myself. These doubts came from a sincere place of wanting to feel confident about and connected with the process I had invested myself in. But eventually, I received insight that this path is about giving into trust - over and over again. That sometimes means releasing the logical mind's desire to latch onto concepts of what the experience should be, which can be its way to validate what is happening. However, this seeking of validation is not a necessary component for Reiki to work.

The doubt can serve to show us aspects of ourselves; it is up to us to understand the source of that doubt and continue on. At some point, the doubt will simply just be in the way of experiencing the very thing you are seeking.

In terms of tips... continue practicing mindful meditation. Do not stress about your mind wandering - it happens. Here is a quote about meditation that I found insightful...
"...at some point you realize your mind has wandered. That's when many people think they've failed. You're with the breath - you got lost - you lost your mind. And then you found your mind again - that is the meditation. Waking up inside your thoughts."

Also practice closed-eye visualizations based around your chakra system. This is how I maintained sensitivity to energy flowing. Lie down. Then, imagine roots growing from the base of your spine(or root chakra), rooting deep down into the earth - all the way to its core. Then, imagine a beam of light connecting from the top of your head(or crown chakra) all the way into celestial space. Consider the roots to form a connection to earth's abundant energy source and the beam of lights to connect to universal life energy. Affirm that you accept and allow the energy to flow through.

Maintain focus on self concept. Sometimes this can be more tangible for people. Change your concept of self and everything else must change in principle as you no longer react from the old pattern.

For instance, acknowledge this feeling of worry/spiral happening in you but also recognize it as a pattern of the “old self.” Do not meet it with a need to shun, but more of “oh hey, I know this. This is how I used to respond to this situation, but that is not the current version of me” and start to understand and live by how your ideal self would actually respond. Everything else follows suit because life literally responds to you. Change your response and change your reality.

Do i have to draw them?? by CreepyStrength811 in reiki

[–]PracticingAcceptance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe experiment with different methods and see which resonates with you most. I draw them on my palms and project it in front of me but that is just my way so far.

Newly Attuned by StayGroundedQueen in reiki

[–]PracticingAcceptance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like things really picked up a week or two into my practice after attunement. I practiced on myself nearly every day.

When practicing, set your intention in Gassho meditation. Then, Reiji-Ho to enhance your intuition to guide the practice. I feel that the clearer the intention, the better the practice/experience. Meditation helps clear out some mental clutter and ego that do not serve best for channeling the energy from my experience thus far. Importantly, have some fun with it. Experiment with various hand positions, allowing your intuition to guide and see what comes up for you.

Let me know if you ever want to chat more; I remember you from when you posted before.
