How are you? I hope you’re well

In your last email you ask me, about the meaning of reiki so i would like to answer it

HpS - Jaya! AgtSP!!!  

What is Reiki? We know a little but not much. Is there a parampara? Is there an idea of who is the patient? Are we this body?

AgtSP!!!   We wait your wise instruction.

“Reiki (霊気?, /ˈreɪkiː/) is a spiritual practice developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui, which has since been adapted by various teachers of varying traditions. It uses a technique commonly called palm healing or hands-on-healing as a form of alternative medicine and is sometimes classified as oriental medicine by some professional medical bodies. Through the use of this technique, practitioners believe that they are transferring universal energy (i.e., reiki) in the form of qi (Japanese: ki) through the palms, which they believe allows for self-healing and a state of equilibrium (wikipedia)”.

It doesn’t have parampara.

I had been done reiki and this has been very useful for relieving some problems I have in my nervous system. This is the reason why I have decided to learn the technique. Thanks for asking me.

About my regulation, I chant 16 rounds every day and I keep the four principles but currently I’m living with my girlfriend.

Every night, I read a chapter of The light of the Bhagavata and some Prabhupada’s book with my girlfriend so she can sleep very peacefully.

Since 21th November, I have been doing  Sankirtan service so this has let me to be happier and healthier. I’ve distributed about 220 Prabhupada’s books in order to help with the marathon and recollect Laksmi.

I’d like to ask you the following question: how should I wear when I’m distributing books?

Thank for you wise advice.

HpS - ASA - Jaya! AGTSP. Thank you for the explanation. Works, healing through touching, but could also make people sick if the touchers are sinful!  What about starting a family?
