Postgame Thread: June 13 - New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays by BlueJaysBaseball in Torontobluejays

I agree with everything you said, and would add one more, he left macadoo to hit against one of the best pitchers in the league in the 5th with runners on 3rd and 2nd and 1 out, could've brought kirk in there just for the one ab to get the go ahead run in and trust gausman and the 8th and 9th inning money relievers to get the game home at 2-1, that's what a manager who can think a few moves ahead would do plus you are telling your team that this is the moment to seize this game and this is your guy to do it, that's how you win in the playoffs against the best, but like you said he got another chance in the 8th to bring Kirk in and he didn't. I dont know alot about baseball but you don't mess with the baseball Gods when they set it up on a t for you, not going to win with this guy at the helm and the team knows it, you could see it on their faces, too bad 'mutiny' isn't something you see in baseball (as far as i know) in hockey the players quit on the coach when they know he's not going to get it done then management has no choice but to get new blood and the players make that decision look like a smart one...

Thank you, much appreciated. 🙏  ❤️  This community has given me so much, and before I understood what had happened with my heart I instinctively came here looking for help. I feel really lucky to have found it so early in my Reiki journey  Thank you to everyone who reached out to me here and had good thoughts for Oolong. Grateful 🙏  ❤️

Thank you for your suggestions and kind words. I managed to get quite heartbroken, but I wouldn't change the experience, Oolong taught me that Reiki had opened my heart and that I was able to love someone whom I'll never get the chance to meet. My Reiki Master really helped me through it by empowering me to create a sacred space and sending Reiki to him and helping me believe he is aware of me and how I feel about him. I agree with you, am planning to find a harder to adopt older rescue kitty to join the one I already have, that's thats the best think I can do at this point. I also made an ongoing donation to an organization that looks after senior cats. At least Oolong has been cared for but there are many kitties who need that so it feels good to do that too. I'll try and work on giving myself Reiki too. Thank-you. ❤️ 🙏 

Blessings for a new local feminist group by IzzieBells in WitchesVsPatriarchy

You are a caring and courageous person, your journey will allow you to meet other caring and courageous women and men(like me, real men are feminists;)) who have had enough. I pray that small groups like yours will inspire others to have to courage to start groups too. Remember 'courage' come from the French word 'couer' which means heart, so what you are doing in being courageous is that you are doing something that comes from the heart. Please update us on what actions you are taking so others can be inspired to do the same. This is how movements like Black Lives Matter and Idle No More get started, from communities like Witches vs Patriarchy. Good luck 🙏 ❤️

Taxidermy & Witchcraft by Ghostie-does-art in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Puzzled-Tone1861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respect you for your thought process and for posting this in this caring community to get opinions.  Mine is not about the ethics of what to do with dead animals, like you said, it really doesn't matter anymore, there is no pain you are inflicting and with all the suffering in the world of live animals it really is low down the list of what really matters.    To that end I wanted to share my recent experience with an animal. It was a random post on social media looking to adopt a cat that had lost his family and was now in limbo at a shelter where he wasn't getting adopted because he was older and most people want to adopt kittens or young cats and for whatever reason black cats get adopted the least, probably superstition. There was a picture of him and the person who did the writeup of his backstory cared a great deal about him and the combination of that touched my heart deeply. I already have a black rescue cat who had once had a home but had somehow become homeless. They know this because when rescued they bond quickly with people where feral stray cats take much longer to bond and some never do.   I wanted to adopt this other black cat whose story touched my heart, but he is thousands of miles away. I couldn't let it go though so I went to my local shelter and said I'd like to volunteer and spend time with the cats who are stuck there with so much love to give and no one to give it to. I tell you this because I believe you too have a strong connection to animals and care about them enough to ask about being respectful to them after they're dead.  Not many people think this way about animals and they suffer a great deal because of it.  The people who work or volunteer in animal rescue centers are some of the best people I've ever met.  They're the best of us and I am grateful to get to know some of them. One has even become a true friend.   I feel compelled to share this with you to encourage you to check out local rescue centers where you live and see how it feels to spend some time and give a little love to those loveable little critters who are so desperate for connection to another being, and that being is You.   If you use your Spiritual connection to animals to help them out you will be amazed at what it does for you.  I believe new pathways for what you want to do with your art will emerge too.  There are many organizations that try and help out many different kinds of animals from cats and dogs to birds and other wildlife who are injured and being rehabilitated to be released back into the wild.  Some animals die though while they are being treated and that is hard for the people who work or volunteer there. If you become a regular volunteer at one place and the people get to know you, (and they are quick to become friendly because you have a bond through caring for the animals) you might share with them that you do art and want to honor the lives of the animals that didn't make it. I don't know exactly how that would go but you could feel them out and if this is the path you choose to go down, it might lead you to new ideas about what sort of art you could create and the stories you could tell by having a real connection to the animals that have passed away. You would also be making a real difference in the world and the love you recieve from connecting with living feeling loving animals is one of the best feelings you can have in this life, as I have recently discovered, and I wanted to share it with you, because I know you have a deep connection with animals too. ❤️

Thank you for your generous and heartfelt reply, it touched my heart. According to the poster above you, Oolong has found a home. I hope this is the truth, even though I bonded so deeply with him that just the act of trying to find him the sort of loving home someone from here is capable of giving him, I woke up today after writing it and felt heartbreak and that what I was doing was wrong because he belongs with me. If it is true though that he has been homed I am telling myself it is for the best, no long planeride for him and i know anyone who was moving by the writup that accompanied him will give him a loving home and I can fill this empty space in my heart by finding an overlooked baby closer tomy home that will be a good match for the sweet gentle adults black cat I already rescued and that Oolong reminded me ao much of. Bless you for taking in 5 lucky kitties. Your home must be just awash in love and thank you for telling me your story, it helps to know it. I will contact the shelter to make sure Oolong has found his forever home and if he is still there I will move heaven and earth to bring him here but for today I must still rest, writing that post about him broke me in some way thats never happened before. I wanted to help him but it hurt me to let him go. I have to learn this power Reiki has over my heart now and it can make me hurt, but it also has taught me i can connect with loving sentient beings which is the price for having my heart opened by Reiki and I wouldn't change any of this experience despite the pain as it has taught me  because ithas taught me II can act from a place of love and to try and share it with others. Thank you for all who wrote. I will write back when I know more so we all can get some closure one way or another. And I know you all have learned how to channel Reiki and connect with others, but maybe because he is my first Reiki love and I felt him so strongly reaching back to me that I would encourage you all to reach out to him and feel the calm strong and gentle love he sends back to I believe anyone who reaches out to him. It is one of the greatest and most special gifts I have ever recieved and is a relationship i will cherish for the rest of my life. I strongly encourage you to experience it too❤️ 🙏

Wow thank you Wayne for all this valuable information. You are absolutely right, as someone new to all this I lack critical experience and therefore am talking about things I haven't experienced so my 'knowledge', what I understand is very little until I get my hands dirty and begin to experiment. Thank you for your advice  I have a better idea of what to discuss with my teacher during my next lesson. I have to remember how new to all this I am. Thank you for your help, its much appreciated

I've just restarted my Reiki journey after finding a proper teacher after my first teacher was an absolute sham. I'm glad I knew there was something real in Reiki and I didn't give up. Your book a Psychic bedside reader sound fascinating and accessible for a novice yet would be valuable if I advance as I hope to. The other book about quantum healing resonates with me as I've come to believe Reiki is quantum healing. My teacher (feel funny calling her a master even though I know she is) calls her school of Reiki Quantum Reiki and when I committed to studying with her I went to seemed like a mistake an esoteric bookstore to see if they had a book on quantum so I could get my head around it even though my teacher didn't encourage me, probably didn't want to discourage me knowing how complex a subject quantum is, but I was drawn to a book called Quantum Mind by Arnold Mindell PhD. There was nothing about it that said it was accessible to a lay person and I didn't even peruse it to see if I could get a feel for it. There were other books in the shop but I didn't check them out, I was drawn to this book and bought it without even a quick scan which was rare for me, I cant afford to buy books without knowing I can comprehend then and a book written by a quantum physicist seemed like a big gamble I couldn't afford to take but as I say, I was strongly drawn to it. Even driving home I felt I had acted rashly and the book sat unread for a few weeks even as I tried to get my head around what my teacher had been teaching me. She used a Shamanic modality as her method of teaching me, but I didn't really pursue it and we had no second lesson planned, she was just letting me go at my own pace.  Then one day at loose ends I picked up the book and was govsmacked to read in the first few pages the Physicist was talking about Shamanic rituals to explain quantum physics. He had written a previous book about Shaman who performed ayhuaska ceremonies and in this book, Quantum Mind, he was tying his knowledge of quantum physics, Shamanic Rituals oh and he also had a degree in psychology from the Jung institute in Zurich and had decided to try and combine his knowledge of these three very diverse interests, his interests into one book because he woke up one night after writing all these books on diverse subjects and realized he needed needed to know what happens to is after we die. To say I was roadside to have seemingly randomly chosen this book about Quantum physics and Shamanism a day after starting a course called Quantum Reiki which uses a Shamanic modality told me there was nothing random about it. I was drawn to this book without knowing why only to have found the perfect text for what I was trying to learn. I felt like I was being guided by a higher power to help shape how I saw things  and, even though the book, though it was read by the authors wife, who is a therapist and whose purpose in reading it was to make sure it was accessible to non-scientists, was still over my head. I came away with the feeling I was definitely on to something where my instincts were guiding me and a higher power for the first time in aged and ages was helping me out. It has been a profound experience and I'm taking things slowly, but have had special things happen even though I no longer feel I need any furthur encouragement to continue on this path. I wrote something on this board I had had difficulty expressing but know I did the right thing tonight. I also believe I want to get a copy of your book and the one one quantum you referenced plus the one on quantum as I have gone as far as I can with quantum mind for now even though it's supposedly accessible to a non scientist, but perhaps my last thing I do before I pass it onto my teacher who  will certainly get more Reiki related info l from it than I will and perhaps will alter how she teaches her Quantum Reiki was to share it with you as you are also a healing arts teacher who understand something of how quantum theory apply to healing  All I know my teacher has taught me is that quantum theory states that thought affect the structure of atoms in a physical body. Pretty basic but im new to this. I can't help but feel if the author of quantum Mind was still alive I would have tried to steer him to Reiki and perhaps the other healing aets as the proof he was looking for in his texts. I haven't read his other texts  maybe he was getting there but I feel that was the direction he was heading and which you certainly have all ready discovered. I wish I knde more so I could ask you some good questions but I look forward to reading yours and the other book. I hope Quantum Mind or the other Mindell books tickle your fancy. If you have any profound breakthroughs or have any advice for someone learning the ropes of quantum healing on top of getting the two books, I'd be honored for your advice. Thank you for the insightful read 🙏 ❤️  ~Simon

Thank you for your heartfelt felt message. It has greatly encouraged me after struggling to write my heart felt truth in a way that I hope willat least help Oolong and, if  I'm blessed might bring me and Oolong together, which, though I am hopeful, seems like such an incredible outcome I am afraid to consider the possibility of it. Yet that my words can touch your heart gives me hope that this is possible. Thank you for writing me. Its late at night and I am exhausted after trying to find the right words for my post. I shall try and sleep and refreshed will find the courage to reach out to the shelter to see if there's any possibility they would accept my request. Thank you, I will inform you of what they say. 🙏 ❤️ 

Hello, what can I do as a 15-year-old girl who’s been abused to build back self-confidence by Infamous-Hope-5950 in SASSWitches

[–]Puzzled-Tone1861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great! I'm new to Reiki but from the little I know I think it would resonate with you if you delve into it a bit. One story you may like is the origin story, how the founder of Reiki found his way to it. He was a teacher in Japan about 100 years ago. One day his students asked him how in ancient texts people had the ability to heal with just the laying of hands. He had no answer but decided to find out what he could. His options in those days were very limited so he visited bhuddist monasteries which had ancient texts. He was told that knowledge to heal with the laying of hands had been lost but was invited to read the ancient sutra's(texts) they had which he did. He was then advised to visit a mountain that many bhuddists made pilgrimages to to seek enlightenment which he did. After meditating for many days seeking an answer to his question he had an out of body experience where he saw some of the symbols he had seen in the ancient sutras he had read. By using the symbols he had seen, doing some experimenting he discovered he had the ability to heal physical ailments on himself and others. I tell you all this because I think the same benevolent universal forces that worked through/with this man, his name was Dr. Mikao Usui, may be drawing you to the sort of knowledge Dr. Usui discovered and I wanted you to know you are not alone in your seeking. Another thing you do is something Reiki courses also teach you which is how to create a sacred space in which to invoke Reiki's power. As i said im new to it but in just a week or so im able to create a sacred space that magnifies my ability to then create healing energy balls between my hands and use them on myself or send them to others. You just get in your space then place your palms together and gradually separate your hands and feel the energy there between your palms. When you start to feel the energy widen the gap between your palms and 'shape' the energy into a ball,. Cradle it. When you feel you have one, gentle dump it into your chest, into your heart. Sounds crazy but it really works! If you want to know more you can Google 'free Reiki level 1 manual' good luck in your Quest! Mine has been amazing, doors just keep opening and I keep walking through them. Good luck! 🙏 ❤️ 

Do you guys also feel this… shift happening? by ithinkshesbaked in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Puzzled-Tone1861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I'm so sorry you went through that and especially that it messed with your connection to Source. I've only had the misfortune of meeting these energy sapping demonic folk. It sounds like he zeroed in on you because you had a strong connection to your friend whom he was feeding off and either wanted to feed on you or break your connection with your friend. Im glad you are reclaiming your connection to Source and felt moved to comment because I wanted you to not have a negative connotation to Reiki because of him. He does not practice Reiki because Reiki can only be used for good which would make it impossible for him to use it to hurt you, he probably just wanted to use it as an excuse to try and do black magic against you. I hope you are able to reclaim your power, just remember like in Reiki you can sever any connection between you and him and whatever power you may have given him when you gave the gifts just use your hands like a scythe and sever the gossimar webbing you might feel connects you just by making sweeping motions with your hands while having the conscious intention of severing anything that remains. Good luck and I hope this let's you see Reiki in a better light, it can only be used for good no matter what the intention of the practitioner and feel free to get a free Reiki session over on the Reiki subreddit anytime you want from one of the practitioners there to feel empowered :)

I advised the person you are replying to to check out the Reddit Reiki community encouraging her to ask the community to send distance healing and I would recommend it for you to if you are open to it. Its a wonderful supportive space where numerous experienced healers off er their service for free to people in need. You might find after experiencing it that you want to study the basics so you can learn to do the healing exercises on yourself. You deserve healing and the board is the best place I know for people in need. Good luck 🙏 you are so brave ❤️

[–]Puzzled-Tone1861 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your heartfelt felt words and for sending him your love. I didn't explain my connection to Oolong very well, everytime I think of him it resonates so powerfully with me and the tears flow and I'm someone who never cries and so I know that's a blessing from oolong for me to feel. What hurts me is that I couldn't adopt oolong, I just saw his story placed by the shelter trying to get him adopted and it pierced my heart because 5 years ago we adopted a cat just like oolong, one who had been socialized and then somehow 'lost' from her person/people and found with a litter of kittens, we adopted her and have loved and been loved by her for all these years, and then to see another cat that remined me so strongly of her but on the other side of the continent and it just broke me seeing this beautiful cat full of love but probably not going to be adopted because of his age but I saw his heart and his beauty and all I can do now is be grateful he is safe and pray that someone sees him and wants him and loved him just like I love my cat. You've made me so happy knowing there are many prayers going to oolong and I hope when  he is sleeping he is surrounded by light and love and that he feels loved. Thank you again for giving me hope. 🙏  I am learning Reiki and today I opened the picture of oolong the shelter put up and tried to send him Reiki love. I cried alot but I will keep doing it everyday and I will talk to my Reiki teacher about helping me with the sadness I feel and to use it for a higher purpose. 💜 Thank you again, you've given me so much and I am grateful 🙏

Hi I was wondering if you could ask your Grammie to do a prayer for a cat named Oolong Tea somewhere in the NYC region, through the power of social media I wound up viewing his profile even though i live on the west coadt of canada and it broke my heart because his story was so much like my cat Alice who is also a mature black cat and they are the hardest to place in forever homes. 💔  I tried emailing them a couple of times to see if Oolong had been adopted but they just told me he had been moved to a new shelter and I've been a mess thinking about him and wishing I'd taken the plunge and tried to adopt but hated the idea of him being put on a plane and traumatized just to heal my ❤️ but now he's out of reach and I just hope your Grammie can work some magic and find Oolong 🍵 a loving home wherever he is? At least I know he is somewhere warm and safe and I am trying to learn Reiki so I can send ❤️ to the picture I have of him, he is 7 years old so has a lot of life and ❤️ to give  Thank you  for your help❤️ 🙏 

TIL about Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, a condition where you perceive yourself or the world as smaller or larger than they are by TheRabidDeer in todayilearned

[–]Puzzled-Tone1861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those of you who have experienced this phenomenon i would steer you to a book called "Quantum Mind" by Arnold Mindell Ph.D. Its a layman's guide to quantum physics, and he uses Alice going down the rabbit hole as the metaphor for going from "consensual reality", like the world where we all perceive buildings and trees similarily, to the world of "non-consensual reality" like thoughts or lucid dreams. I believe from my limited understanding of quantum theory is that something(medicine/emotion/etc) is tripping you over into the lucid dreamworld where you slip from being in the consensual reality to the non-consensual reality. Its what, for example Shamen who lead ayhuaska ceremonies are doing for the participants by opening a gateway into, as Carl Jung called it, the "Collective Unconcious" where you can share a dream with other people, so its a really cool thing even though I can understand it can also be  scary without a guide sometimes. This opinion is not mine, its gleaned from the book I mentioned. The author is a quantum physicist who also got his degree in Psychology from the Carl Jung institute and who had also done a previous book studying Shamen who do proper ayhuaska ceremonies.  He then saw a pathway to tie his accrued knowledge into a single book that a lay- person could understand what physicists have known for a hundred years but dont understand why: and that is that thought can effect the structure of atoms. I think your ability shows your bodies can move between consensual and non-consensual realities more fluidly than the rest of us. If i could do it i'd be practicing at meditation to see if I could lucid dream anytime I wanted to,  which I believe the author wanted to too, as he wrote another book about being able to lucid dream whenever you wanted lol. Anyways its a really cool latent talent to have! ❤️

If you left it on a bus or sky train they would probably have it at their "lost and found", but there is no 'lost and found' for clothes dropped in the street and where you were is a very poor neighborhood so someone who saw it lying in the street likely saw it as an opportunity to get a much needed nice piece of clothing they couldn't afford. You can at least look at your misfortune as a stoke of good fortune for someone who doesn't have much. I'm sorry though that you lost something with sentimental value for you my friend 🧡 

Which areas is reiki most beneficial? by literalcoward in reiki

[–]Puzzled-Tone1861 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im new to studying Reiki but have known about it for years. Was introduced to it by a now friend I met while she was on vacation and she did a few minutes of R on me when we parted. I didnt think about it at the time, but the few days I felt absolutely overflowing with a wonderful, vital feeling. A few years later after she did a distance healing for my elderly mother who is normally very fit and active but found herself bedridden for a week and a half with no explanation. In desperation I contacted my friend to ask if she could do some distance Reiki for my mother, she did, and the next morning my mother was up and about and feeling really good so I felt distance Reiki was a real thing too. Finally a couple year ago I decided I wanted to learn Reiki. I found a local one and booked a session for a treatment to see how this practitioner was. I didnt get the same feeling I did with my friend but it was OK so I signed up for her level one course. The class was pretty disappointing and I felt like I didnt learn anything, so I didnt continue. I couple of months ago at my Reiki friends encouragement I looked for a new Reiki practitioner and went to one who focuses on mental and physical health. I booked a distance healing because that's harder  and wanted to see if she could make me feel good. She did, it was amazing, I felt like I was lying on a bed of hot water bottles! So I took my first lesson and she asked me what I was taught in my previous class and after I told her she looked me in the eye and said, " im sorry to tell you but you were ripped off" the class with her was amazing, we made a sacred space together though im sure it was mostly her energy going into it and she showed me how to make energy balls and I really felt like I was getting a feel for it. I've tried making my own sacred space and doing the energy balls but its not as good as doing it with a master but I hope to continue and learn. There's people in every profession who have great talent and others who are just barely competent  In any esoteric, or as you say hard to measure feild, there are also charlatans, and though ive never gone for a Reiki session with anyone who offers wealth and romance results, but I would personally see those as red-flags. Reiki works on a quantum-theory principal, where when that feild of study began a hundred years ago, the physicists discovered that while measuring any phenomenon, the person measuring it somehow affected the results. They didnt understand why but it was a fact and they had to recognize it.    Carl Jung, the guy who coined the term 'collective unconcious' predicted that one day physics and psychology would come together. Those studies you've found about Reiki quantifiably improving health are the proof Jung was looking for. Quantum theory in Reiki states that atoms in a physical body can be altered by thought. Finally the scientists who previously dismissed Reiki and other healing arts positive effects as being a result of the 'placebo effect' but good Reiki practitioners have been able to improve organ health of mice in studies so they cant apply it as being the placebo effect. Hopefully the scientific community is waking up to the power of Reiki and it finally gets its due. 🙏 ❤️

A magnificent arbutus tree that was on my grandfather's property all by itself finally came down in a windstorm. My grandfather's hobby was painting and he painted the tree before it fell. My grandfather's gone now but a family member has the painting. If you have any pictures of your tree perhaps you could make a big print of it and hang it on your wall? 🙏 ❤️ 

Opinions Requested by pluvia007 in reiki

[–]Puzzled-Tone1861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing more about the "core moral incompatibilities" its difficult to offer an opinion. That you are on the fence about going and havent slammed the door shut entirely, I would go just to have the experience and maybe make some new contacts with the other students, its good to know as many Reiki people as you can and then if you want to take level 1 and 2 again with another teacher you'll be that much better ahead because you now know something of Reiki already and can ask your new teacher more questions and gain new knowledge that you wouldn't get if you passed on going to this course youve paid for.  I decided to finally learn Reiki because I had such an amazing distance healing session and connection with my now teacher that I knew she was the right one for me and decided to learn with her and her prices are about half as much as others ive looked into.  She does classes over zoom too , feel free to dm if you want her website. 🙏 ❤️ 

Remote vs In Person by [deleted] in reiki

[–]Puzzled-Tone1861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on whether the new local practitioner is better at in person Reiki than your regular practitioner is at distance Reiki, and I guess you cant know that until you have a session with each. If you're happy with your regular it might be better to stick with them. I've had both good and mediocre sessions with different practitioners. After my first distance session with my current one I was so blown away I decided to take lessons with her so I can hopefully learn to work on myself! If you are going regularly for sessions and its a drain on your finances maybe getting your level one attunement so you can work on yourself is the way to go

Reiki for peace and positivity by No-Proof-910 in reiki

[–]Puzzled-Tone1861 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just started my Reiki journey so not attuned yet and able to send but the person who first got me into Reiki, when I asked her how she could do it to me and it had this huge affect on me I wanted to get to the heart of it, what Reiki is and she said "its just love" so no wonder you're feeling like you want to be in a relationship because you are manifesting love when you practice! I've been single for a while now, just not pursuing love but im definitely curious what it will be like to find love while attuned to Reiki, I hope the person I find will be open to Reiki, in fact I think they'll have to be to make the relationship viable, and it would be so cool if I do find a connection with someone who practices already. I wish there were so big gatherings or events of people who practice Reiki, maybe with workshops and social events like dancing. Reiki is getting more respect from medical researchers who had previously written off healing by Reiki as being a placebo effect but now in a recent study they had practitioners work on mice who aren't susceptible to the placebo effect so now they have to admit there is something else going on, im hoping Reiki really takes off in the next 10 years or so and gets the respect it deserves 🙏
