A diverse group of 21 enrolled themselves for a Reiki Learning Experience with Prasad Karmarkar, (http://www.prasadkarmarkar.com/) in Gurgaon, near Delhi. They had no idea what was in store for them.
August 22, 2009 and August 23, 2009
This group goes through a roller coaster ride traversing sharing sessions involving voicing problems and expectations. It takes courage to voice a concern about yourself in front of 20 people. That's probably the first step towards freedom.
Then there are meditations, that make one reach out to the inner, real you, that had probably so far, been an unrecognised voice. Of course there is also the actual teaching of Reiki and student initiations.
There are thousands of Reiki teachers all over the world. But learning Reiki from Prasad Karmarkar is special.
There is a charged energy field around Prasad that goes through you like a laser that knows exactly what the problem is and where it lies. He is an interior designer who cleans out the clutter from your inner world and somehow you learn to redesign your space.
In the Reiki sessions with the Master (Prasad), one is not allowed any paper or pen, no taking notes. One simply listens to him. He believes that he would only speak what is important for someone in the room.
For instance,one student had said she liked helping others but felt used and taken for granted. Still, she could not state a 'No'. Others felt a pervading sense of impatience and anger and wanted to get out of it. For others, life was confusing. They remained unfocussed or depressed at the way life was.
Prasad generally spoke about creating a clarity and a delink between doing things for other people from the sense of expectation and return. He spoke about guilt as our license for repeating the same mistakes. He said, a sense of guilt would only stop being a license when it became a signal for acceptance and change. Then, its out of the system. He spoke about anger being the obverse of sadness. Wherever there is anger, there is an underlying sadness and the reverse is also true. He spoke about keeping life simple and writing to the universe what you want.
There is a magic about Prasad that works a miracle in your life.
Aftermath
Post-Reiki with Prasad, most, if not all of us have this tremendous sense of well-being, of being protected and feeling secure, a sense of joy in everything, and a feeling that nothing is going to go wrong. One feels good.
Reiki is the Power! Especially when she has come to you through Prasad.
