You see, I said this was going to be an interesting thread!

Obviously there is no way that the average person is going to believe this, because they are not affected and don't feel the burning and/or tingling sensations that Neil and I get, but that's fine read.

I would love you people to try an experiment, so for those of you that think it's not possible, try this.

First of all ask your partner, friend, neighbour or whoever to be part of an experiment that won't hurt them. Do not tell them anything, do not discuss what we are talking about here, do not suggest what they may experience (having read these posts you might let something slip). Just ask them to sit comfortably, roll their sleeve up and to hold their arm out straight keeping it still.

Now think about what you are going to do. You are going to create a sensation on the body of your friend as a direct result of what you probably will be able to do!

Ask them not to speak to you, and then you hold your hand (right if right handed, left if left handed) above their arm, keeping it still and about six to eight inches away from their skin.You both need to be relaxed, maybe sitting alongside each other.

You say nothing to the person involved, keep your mind thinking about what you are doing, that is pulling or removing pain from their body. Let your own mind relax, think about the healing, think about the pain that you are removing, be positive and don't speak.

I can tell you what will happen after a couple of minutes, they will laugh at you and say "it feels funny" or "it's getting hot" or "I can feel the heat/warmth" or "it's tingling" at which stage you will be so shocked, that you also will start laughing and be thinking that b....y Ron he's right, I can do it.

You may also experience a tingling in the hand, a pulse or similar whilst you are doing this, but when you 'wake up' so to speak you will be amazed too, you really did do it!

What you have just done is what Neil and I are talking about referred to as Reiki so now find a willing partner, try it and report back please.

For legal reasons I guess I have to say this is for fun only, so don't get too carried away. lol
