Well yes I have to say that this is the mechanism!Its like a computer software where if you want to delete something or add something and then save it, and then its altered to a different purpose/reaction/reason/behaviour/state, etc.
I started to learn hypmotism too and the results in combination with reiki sessions are amazing!
I recomend it to anyone who is not afraid and thinks that can jandle a hypnotic situation!
But if you go without a master you can misguide to many self beliefs that limit us to this physical/material limitations to what our human limited brains are current. We cannot self create or get our selfs created or magic or chance! or make miracles on our own (reiki does share its miracles because it comes from god) but just think who can. Why , how, when, ?, reason, proof, evidence, situation, answers is all there.
Well dear I would like to tell you that before and after my 1st attunement at the Usui Ryoho Gakkai Reiki System, neither had or have any teacher... I am learning from life happenings and every people how has something that I want/need to assimilate because it seems usefull to me for my develpment...
Surely there are many teachers who guided me periodicaly and I am gratefull to them....In fact every time that we want and truly desire to know or learn the universe does everything to make it true and real....so only good will and focus are needed to attract whatever you need for your develpment!!!
This only my view and nothing more...
Thanks for sharing
Namaste!
